The name Bondage Auditions might make you think of BDSM newbies getting tied and submitting for the first time, but the collection here actually features some well known performers in all kinds of bondage from mild to wild. Female submissives get dominated by male and female masters and mistresses who love to tie, tease, spank and punish their willing slaves! As part of the Fetish Network, Bondage Auditions provides full access to the entire package of 25 sites for one price!
Although Bondage Auditions seems to be a non-exclusive collection, I don't think these are particularly overused scenes in the online BDSM world as I can't recall having seen any of them elsewhere. At the hands of male and female dominants, both well known and amateur female slaves submit to all kinds of naughty torment from spanking and bondage to hot wax and dildos on sticks. I saw intricate rope bondage, cages, suspensions, nipple clamps and all kinds of naughty toys like dildos and vibrators. BDSM fans may recognize some of their favorite bondage models here including Claire Adams, Madison Young, Ariel X and Wenona.
So far, there are 69 scenes available here. Each scene consists of a video and a matching set of photos. According to thee date stamps on each scene, updates are made about once per week. This isn't a huge collection but it's decently sized and the inclusion of 25 mostly kinky sites in the bonus package helps raise the value here quite a bit.
The specs on these kinky flicks aren't quite as high as I look for these days. The videos are offered at 520x392 pixels, 1500 kbps or so, and many that I downloaded were noticeably blurry at that size. Of course, that only gets worse if you enlarge the flick. Some of the videos look better than others, and even those with problems were still worth watching. The photos are typically 750 pixels on the long side and can be a tad too dark, but they're pretty nice overall.
The Bondage Auditions tour page have a bit of a medieval dungeon feel and preview just about all of the scenes. There's even a model index, something that is missing in the members' area, though some of the models are listed under the wrong name. There are a few video trailers and plenty of preview photos, but not enough info about the actual size of the site or update schedule.
The members' area looks good enough, but like the other network sites, it's pretty short on helpful features and options. There are no search or sort tools at all so it can be a real challenge to find a particular kinky act or sex toy among the collection, and the scene listing page doesn't give much info either. A model index and search tool would go a long way here.
Each bondage flick is split into several pieces and offered for download or streaming. Only WMV format is offered, and there is no option for full length streams or downloads, though there are two quality levels to choose from. The photos are offered in basic thumbnail galleries without any bells or whistles.
The price tag here at Bondage Auditions is pretty steep for non-exclusive scenes, but there's a good chance you haven't seen these before, and the inclusion of so much kinky BDSM related bonus content across the 24 additional sites helps raise the value some. It's hard to give this one a strong recommendation at this price, but if the cost doesn't bother you, it may be worth checking this one out.
