The Bondage Channel call itself "The Home of Forced Orgasms." You might think that is a good thing, like forced lottery winning or something, but from the looks of it it's not all fun and games. This is a bondage site, after all, so the women are usually tied or suspended in some wild position. They're then restrained further with ballgags and nipple clamps. Finally, they're forced to cum using dildos, wands, crotchropes, and tongues. The tour and member's area are one and the same (only you'll have to log in to access the content pages) so you can browse the models, scenes, and updates to get a good feel for the site before even spending a dime (or $26.50).
The Goods -
The Bondage Channel features all original content shot by someone who truly enjoys bondage. David Mack is the photographer and he enjoys shooting models who share his passion for restraints. You can tell when a photographer and model are really into the fetish. It makes all the difference in the authenticity of the shoot. Furthermore, it sounds to me likes these women are having real orgasms, not the fake moany-moany ones you hear on every other porn site.
The pictures look excellent. They're high resolution at 1280x960, sharp and well-lit. Thank goodness Mack delivers in this area! His work looks professional and sexy.
Updates come frequently. A new scene is added every three days and each scene contains both photos and video. Some of the videos are nearly an hour in length so there is plenty of fresh material added regularly.
The Bads -
The videos don't look as nice as the photos. At 500k, they look just below average. The fact that the pictures look so good only accentuates how unimpressive the videos look.
There aren't quite enough browse features. My two biggest complains are that the model index doesn't show headshots of the models and there are no categories. There is a search feature but it is only minimally helpful. They've got the basics down but I'd like to see them expanded to be even more user-friendly.
Conclusion -
The Bondage Channel gets my vote for a quality and entertaining bondage site. $26.50 is very reasonable for their good sized collection of original content that is updated so frequently. I'd love to see the site features fine tuned and let's hope they work on the video quality, but overall this is definitely a worthwhile site.

Review: 07-12-07 |
The Bondage Channel has grown a bit and made a few changes since our last visit a year ago. They've continued with the updates 2-3 times a week so there really is a lot of original fetish content to see now. It was also nice to see that they've added a model index. It makes getting around that much easier. I really wish they'd upgrade the video quality a bit. It just isn't sharp enough yet. The photos still look good, at least. Hopefully at our next visit we'll see more upgrades in the video department.
Score decreased from 82.5 to 82.0.
