The Bondage Channel (TBC) is the home of Bondage extraordinaire, David Mack who has employed over 64+ models in acts of extreme bondage where they are tied up and forced to cum since first starting this site in early 2001. Currently there are more than 23,500+ images online and 450+ videos. Getting around the site can be difficult and will take some time to get the hang of, but the best place to start is by updates, which are listed as a drop down menu in the up right of the main page. You can also browse by model if you choose, but that might be tough since they are currently only listed and linked to their content (no preview images). The price of admission is set at $26.50 per month, which is on the reasonable side for a fetish site, but I'm still not sure it's going to be worth it for most.
The Good:
- Images here are nice and large (960x1280 pixels) and although they are amateur in style, the quality is quite nice.
- This is exclusive fetish content with attractive girls being bound, gagged and forced to cum with toys, machines (orgasm bar), vibrators and more. I love the great orgasms being produced :)
- Updates come as promised every 3 days, which says a lot for an exclusive fetish site.
- Images and videos are offered in full zip file format, making downloads a piece of cake.
The Bad:
- Overall the site design works, and there are some nice options here for download and even navigation, but it's definitely rough around the edges. The models are listed along with their content, but I would love to see preview thumbs of each chick so that picking one is easier. The site is browsed as a member just as it is for non-members and I guess I just would have liked to have seen a main member’s page with easier access to the content. And even though a search box is offered, the results aren't the easiest to sort through.
- Video quality could be better. I'd love to see an even higher quality stream/download being offered for Windows Media.
The Conclusion:
I like The Bondage Channel. I think it's an interesting site with a definite point of view - one that likes to bound up women and torture them with screaming orgasms. The images are nice-sized and good quality. Options for download are available and although the video quality could be improved upon, I'd say it's a real feat that TBC can deliver on it's every 3rd day update schedule. I guess the site design could use some streamlining, but once you get the hang of it it's not so bad. Probably not my favorite bondage site that we've seen so far, but definitely one of the better ones without being unreasonably overpriced.

Review: 07-14-07 |
I can't believe it's already been almost a year since our initial review of The Bondage Channel. In that time the archive has grown to include more than 150+ videos complete with image galleries and 81+ models. I'm not sure why this count is drastically different from my initial numbers? But I can tell you that The Bondage Channel has been faithfully updating since 2001. I can say for sure that the preview images for the model index is a new and much appreciated addition, but I'd still like to see higher quality (WMV) videos offered. Since I was pretty generous in my scoring initially, things should stay the same this time around.
Score remains at 81.0.
