1. Decent number of photo galleries.
2. Videos look okay.
3. Exclusive fetish content.
1. Navigation and design need work.
2. Pic quality isn't that good.
3. More videos would be nice.
"The lackluster quality, site design and navigation, and lack of videos hold Amateur Slave back." |

Amateur Slave obviously combines the amateur niche with the world of BDSM in what should be a fun site. Just looking around their tour, you'll see evidence of bondage, spanking, gagging, hot wax, pussy clamps, and more. They show you all their latest updates right on the main page, so you can get a good idea of what the site is all about. It's not exactly the best-looking site, but it gets the job done as seems simple to get around. Membership is $30 a month, which I guess is about what's expected at a site like this.
The goods:
- Decent amount of photo galleries. They make up the majority of the content here at Amateur Slave, and there are just over 300 of them up right now. A new one is added each week, which should help them continue to grow (just a bit slow unfortunately).
- Videos look okay. They're definitely better than the photos, and they're almost up to par for what we see on other sites these days. There's room for improvement, but at least they were better than I thought they'd be at first.
- Exclusive niche content. I believe this stuff is all exclusive, and of course you're dealing with some fun fetish material.
The bads:
- Navigation and design need work. The site is even more plain inside unfortunately, with barely a graphic icon to be found. The navigation is mostly text based, so finding the content you're interested in is a bit more difficult than usual.
- Pic quality isn't that good. The newer stuff is okay, but not great, and the older stuff is just downright bad unfortunately. Besides the site itself, the quality is the next biggest problem that I noticed.
- More videos would be nice. Users today want videos, so to only offer about 10% as many videos as photos isn't a good thing. Updates only come about once a month in the video department as well, which really isn't helping the situation.
Conclusion:
I looked at Amateur Slave about a year and a half ago, and unfortunately I just don't think it's improved much since then. What used to be an okay site has since been passed up by newer sites (or ones that keep improving), and it's just not as fun here as I remember. The quality, lackluster site, and lack of videos really hold them back. For the price, I would expect more out of my membership. Not all is lost as the content itself can be fun, but hopefully they can refresh this site all around to keep up with the proverbial Jones's.
