Last time I was at a nude beach (which unfortunately was also my first time), all I saw were a bunch of naked old dudes walking around looking for the same naked women I was looking for probably. Somehow, these public nudity sites find hot chicks naked around town and catch them on film. I highly doubt they'd pay these girls to go strip somewhere making it look real - I mean who would do that? ;-)
Our site for today is called X Nudism, and is one I hadn't heard of before. It's a quirky little site, but they seem to offer some decent public nudity content (which looks to be shot in Europe to me for some reason). The site is quite expensive at $30 a month, so I hope they have quite a bit of content to make it worth the cost.
It's laid out a bit weird, with the site being just a little wider than my browser usually is. I can't imagine what it'd look like on an 800x600 (or 1024x768 even) monitor unless you browse full-screen (which happens to annoy me for some weird reason). They list their latest updates, and show some more that are coming soon. They also list quite a few categories on top including Candid Shots, Beach Video, Nu Show, Public Pic, and more. The one thing that seemed to be missing was a master list of their galleries in one place, which is a shame.
Getting around the site is a little slow, the pages just don't load as quickly as some for one reason or another. Getting around is also made worse from all the categories I mentioned earlier, and they don't provide links to specific pages (so you're stuck clicking next or previous a bunch of times as they only list six galleries per page). At least their pictures are usually pretty good quality, with a lot of them coming in large at 1280x960. Some others are a bit smaller, but I didn't see much below 800x600. Some sets feature a single model, while others are random collections of photos it seems. The recommendations on the bottom of each gallery are a nice idea, but for me they just got in the way and added to the download time of the page which was worse than any benefit.
Videos all come in DivX format, and attempt to play in your browser first. Thankfully they have a downloadable link (although they say it's for people who don't use IE, I think it's the best option for everyone) which you can play and zoom to your heart's content. They're encoded well at over 1000kbps, but the overall quality just okay to pretty good depending on how much lighting there is around. Finding the videos is the tougher part, with much of the same problems you run into when browsing the galleries.
New stuff seems to be added almost daily, which keeps things fresh. Most everything here is good, but has room for improvement. Content is decent, but can fall out of the nudism genre pretty easily at times. The site is a little slow loading, and difficult to get around. But, the content looks good, and the daily updates are nice as well. $30 is high, but hopefully as their site grows it'll be a little more worth it. Not bad, and I wouldn't mind checking back to see if they improve things here.

Wow, it's been so long since we were last at X Nudism that I barely remember it. Reading over the old review and looking through the site has refreshed my memory though. Things actually remain similar overall. There's more content of course, and the numbers are now quite impressive. The video clips are short, of course, but at least there are a lot of them. The DivX downloads remain, and a Flash video has been added in case you prefer to stream. The quality on the Flash is just so-so, and while the downloads are better, even those could use a small bump. Navigation isn't the best either, as they just don't offer many options. If you like the nude beach scene, it's worth a look in my opinion, though it's not the best site in the world otherwise.
Score decreased from 78.9 to 78.5.
