There are no if's, and's, or but's about what we'll be seeing today. Shackled Maidens offers pictures of beautiful girls in heavy restraints. Their slogan is killer, and I'm not quite sure where they came up with it - "The home of beautiful Maidens, Shackled!" That's pure genius right there ;-) They advertise freely that they have just 5,000+ pictures online right now, so I don't think it's a huge site. They charge $24 the first month, and $22 a month thereafter to be a member.
The goods:
- Pictures look nice. Though I wouldn't mind even larger photos with the nice quality they have here, they are good-sized at 1152x768 and were almost always looking very good. They have their own style going and know how to do it well.
- Updates come regularly. It seems like every four days like clockwork a new photoset is put up which is good to see. The video updates aren't as impressive coming monthly, but at least the photo section is growing regularly which should help this smaller site grow.
- All exclusive content. If it came down to a choice between non-exclusive and exclusive content with everything else being equal, you might as well opt for something original. Plus, on a site like this, the photographer's style makes a big different, and with exclusive content you get more of the same which is what you like.
The bads:
- Navigation and design could be improved. The site itself is a little plain, and I wouldn't mind seeing a few more graphics added here and there to spruce it up. Navigation could be a little better too, mostly in the way they display galleries or models; they always list things one per line which makes for way too much scrolling in my opinion. Even adding a second gallery/model per line would cut their list in half which would help
- Not necessarily a lot of nudity. Fans of the pure bondage aspect won't mind, but if you've come to expect a ton of nudity (let alone hardcore) on every porn site you see, you may be a bit disappointed here. Some sets offer nudity, and all of them are seductive in one way or another, but you won't get to see each and every girl naked.
- Video section is very small, not updated often. There's only a few videos up for now, and updates are only one per month; even worse is that they haven't updated the videos in the last couple of months for some reason. The pictures are good, but don't come here if you need broadband fun.
Conclusion:
The pictures and that content are definitely nice, but there are a few things holding the site back as a whole from really shining. I touched on them all above, and they could also use a little growth of course to make it more worth the price of admission. I like what they have here, but hopefully in time it can get even better since I believe they have the potential there.
