It's been a while since we've seen a BDSM & fetish site. TheEnglishDungeon.com is an English site containing female domination by Mistress Sidonia von Bork as well as many other resident and guest mistresses who appear on the site. The design of things here is a little scattered but I've come to expect nothing less from extreme fetish & BDSM sites. What is shocking here is the price; $34.95 per month is wildly expensive for such a site, I believe. What you will find here is mostly short videos clips (250+), as well as close to 4,500+ images, Sidonia's diary, audio clips and more.
Since the videos are the main attraction here, I'll start with those. Newest film updates are in a section of their own and cover everything that's been added in the last month. And then there's the Gold, or "classic's" section, the Dungeon Archives (SM), Boudoir Archives (sex & fetish), and lastly the Slave section which premieres the mistress's slave training program. Aside from this rough classification for the videos, there's not much else in the way of categorizing the content here and videos are simply listed on a single page. Video updates take place once per week, on Friday's, with 7 new videos and 3 "silver" videos, which are older videos that get rotated through. They are all offered in high and low formats for Windows Media and Real Player.
All the videos here have a series of symbols which clue member's in on what kind-of action takes place in the scene, such as: NT = Nipple Torment, VB = Verbal/Humiliation, WS = Water Sports/Enforced Liquid Consumption, TR = Trampling/Shoe & Boot Worship, SD = Sensory Deprivation/Mummification, etc. It's all actually quite extensive and I would imagine takes some time getting used to. It's clear that there's quite a bit of a variety of hardcore fetish content here and this is not acting! There's real torture taking place here including forced bi-sexualism by men, catheterization, urethra stretching, extreme nipple torture and more that I could barely stand to look at! Although even at its best the quality is only average, the videos here are sure to please true hardcore fetish & BDSM fans out there.
The photos here are broken down into a couple of categories, mostly the Mistress's Portraits, Movie Still, Entire Scenes, Bondage, Torment, Rubber, Water sports, Medical & Anal, etc. Again, the images here are quite average in size, though the quality is normally good, and browsing them is a little cumbersome. Even still, they're a nice addition to the video content here. Also nice is Mistress Sidonia's diary, which gives some in depth and lengthy descriptions about her Dungeon work as well as personal information and more. Unfortunately there's not been an update since early last month so hopefully one is in the works. Audio clips give interested members a good idea of what the mistress might sounds like demanding you to get on your knees and worship her and her site guide attempts to make your stay here more pleasurable. Overall I think this is a good site for extreme fetish content lovers but the price is really too high to justify for the average quality of the content that is found here. On the up side, you're not likely to find anything like this out there and so much of it all in one place.

I don't even remember this site for some reason but it looks like I liked it a bit more than some of the other reviewers. It's not quite been a year yet since our last visit here and it looks like things are headed in the right direction. I don't see date stamps but there's lot's of stuff labeled "new", "recent" and "coming soon". The member’s area has grown to about 230+ lengthy videos (rather than my count of 250+ short clips or parts from last time) and I'm happy to see that they now offer full-length downloads as high as 600k. For some reason my image count looks to be the same and the quality of them still ranges some but more or less it's the actual range in image size that bothers me. What I'd really like to see here are consistent full-screen quality images. Overall this hardcore fetish site is still on the expensive side but it's nice to see some changes in a positive direction and I hope our next visit to this kinky site proves to be even more positive.
Score increased from 78.3 to 80.9.

Another year and another look inside The English Mansions' member’s area. The price of admission is still somewhat high, but not as outrageous as it might have been when we first reviewed this site as it seems the average cost of a paysite is either rising or plummeting across the board. In any case, thanks to daily movie part updates, the total number of complete movies is up to almost 300+ and image content is up to about 3,400 (I don't know why but that is lower than my initial count of about 4,500 - weird). In any case, site design is still the same and could definitely stand to be updated/more streamlined. I do like their level of organization, however, and it looks like they've been working on quality too, with streams going as high as 1000k. These look nice but I'd like to see them go even higher! For an extreme BDSM & fetish site, The English Mansion has got the goods and an overall well-produced concept complete with interesting content. $35 bucks a month is still somewhat steep, but may be worth it for those of you looking for a real dominatrix who enjoys dress-up play and torturing her men/women.
Score increased from 80.9 to 81.5.
