Pain Vixens

Not surprisingly, the navigation was dark and foreboding, no doubt intentionally so. I mean, if you're going to inhabit your site with scenes of barbaric sadism, why not set the mood right off the bat. And indeed, as I scan the main page, I see row after row of updates with women in ballgags, gas masks, bound and tied — sometimes even in cages. One thing they all have in common, though, is that confused — and unsettlingly arousing — confused mixture of agony and bliss. But don't let the hellish backdrop intimidate you. The page sports quite the minimalist design, making it easy to navigate, even for the the absolute beginner. In fact, you need not concern yourself with the main menu(unless you want to access bonus sites), because all of the content is laid out on the main page.

Speaking of which, I had a chance to checkout some of the goods, and I have to say, they more than live up to those grand tour promises. These are rough and gritty productions, featuring real girls who, at times, can be quite nervous, even shocked, at what she's gotten herself into. What's more, there's very little editing, so we get the real experience. And that translates to running times that rival feature-length films. So, be prepared for long, brutal torture sessions.

But as nicely as these films were shot, as pleasing as their feature length — though ponderous — running times were, the playback quality left much to be desired. Which is strange, not only because this is in stark contrast to the aforementioned positive qualities of these productions, but the very nature of the site as well; a site that, in its day, was constantly pushing the envelope. Worse still, downloads were quite slow, averaging at an agonizing 500 kilobytes-per-second. If it were pique hours I could understand, but in the middle of the week?

Also, I think I could have done without all of those ads in the members page. While they weren't aggressive by any means, they're still distracting enough, and certainly take away from the dungeon-esque, nightmarish feel of the layout.

One more area of concern is the lack of pictures. I mean, aside from a few meager sized thumbnails attached to the, admittedly, well written and thorough synopsis, is the closest you'll get to still photography at this joint.

My greatest disappointment, however, came upon realization that they hadn't updated in over 18 months. Sufficed to say, I don't think members should be expecting any new updates anytime soon, if ever.

But all is not lost. You see, your membership includes bonus access to 30 sites ultra-kinky, mostly fetish oriented, sites. And, best of all, there's quite a bit of BDSM in the mix. So, even without new updates, this is still worth a bargain for those with kinky tastes.
