It's kind of fun when sites make up new words, here Lady Sonia calls herself a "Masturbatrix". Pretty clever, I kind of like it. To me she looks like a librarian with a whip. She just really looks and sounds like a proper British lady...except proper ladies don't usually wear latex and call people "slaves" while whipping them. I wonder if she takes a break from punishment when it's tea time. Just a thought.
Upon entering Lady Sonia's member's area (there's also a few other side sections with fetish pics and vids) I was greeted with a note regarding a recent face lift she'd given the site. I have no idea what the old look was, I do think the current design is pretty nice. What I found most useful was the paragraph or so description written for each content section. The only design flaw I see is in the Journal where the daily entry links aren't functioning. Clicking on any day led me to a "page doesn't exist file". Hey, at least it's not the pictures or movies, right? I'll notify them and hopefully they'll fix that problem shortly.
Photo galleries and a video library are the most important content sections. One of the most important bits of info I can tell you is that Lady Sonia herself spends a lot of time with clothes on. Granted the clothes are sexy latex outfits, stockings, lingerie, and high heels, but there's no doubt that unless she's posing for a solo gallery the emphasis is on her being dominant and in charge of the other people whether it's a girl, guy, or several people. Inevitable the guys in each scene get some variety of the following activities: tied or bound, blindfolded, whipping, face-sitting, trampling, penis-pump. While some just get the punishment others get the reward of getting sex, blowjobs, or handjobs. Currently she has the content divided into five major categories: 1. Equestrian & Jodhpur, 2. Perverted Nurse, Doctor, & Medical, 3. Boss Lady & Secretarial, 4. Latex, and 5. Lingerie, Gloves, & Fetish Lingerie. Overall it's a good variety of fetish action with most of the expected toys without being overly extreme. Really hardcore fetish folks are likely to consider Sonia's stuff mild.
Content quality and downloading choices are both good. The video formats are WMV, Mpeg, and Real with Real being the secondary option for the clips. It's nice to have the additional format, but I know most of you will stick with WMV and Mpeg anyways. The one annoyance I saw when I tried to stream the videos or look at some pictures they tended to load slowly. I got tired of that really quick and I bet you will too.
I already mentioned the non-functioning journal, the other little extras include Lady Sonia Interviews which are about a half dozen written Q&A's with models, The Study which is Sonia's thoughts and writings, and some additional fetish content in the form of three bonus sites. I wish Sonia would rethink her price. $34.95/mo is way too high in my opinion. A site like this should be about ten bucks less than that.

I remember Lady Sonia; she's a tough one to forget. The contrast of her sophisticated British lady appearance and her dominatrix content really do make this a unique site. Sonia and her fellow performers create a lot of enjoyable galleries and videos. Largely the site appears to be the same as it did during my initial review. The diary problem I mentioned has been corrected and there is actually a personal diary with daily entries and a completely separate journal with weekly entries. I also see downloadable full length movie files available on the newer video additions. The one thing about Sonia that still nags at me is the price. No matter how you slice it this is an expensive one. Even taking that into account it's still worthwhile destination for bdsm fans.
Score increased from 76.7 to 77.5.
