Claude's Sexy Settings is perhaps not a very descriptive or specific name for this collection, but this amateur bondage and pantyhose specialty site is definitely a bit off the beaten path. Youll see mostly amateurs and a smattering of pros in true amateur style BDSM shoots that all take place in domestic settings like living rooms and bedrooms. The collection offers mostly softcore photos with some hardcore action in the flicks.
Sexy Settings, perhaps more accurately called Claudes Sexy Settings, is an amateur style collection that seems to have been around in one form or another since the year 2000. I wasn't able to find out much information about Claude, but it seems quite obvious that he loves sexy amateur women, pantyhose, and bondage. The site appears to be essentially a one-man operation with Claude running the camera, starring in some of the action with the girls, and updating the website.
The materials here include both photo and video content. The rather disorganized layout and method of displaying updates makes it difficult to determine exactly how much is here or when new additions are coming, but I'd guess that there are a couple hundred videos ranging from short clips to full-length half hour BDSM sessions as well as a few hundred photo galleries. One thing to note here is that much of the hardcore collection seems to be on some sort of semi-permanent rotating schedule. The videos are added to the site and never moved again according to some seemingly arbitrary schedule that isn't explained on the site.
Most of the photo collection here includes fairly high-quality yet amateur style shots of sexy amateur when it tied in various locations around the house. Bedrooms and living rooms are probably the most common settings, but you'll also see the gals tied in doorways and hallways or even on the kitchen table. Much of what you'll see include simple pose and tease shots with or without rope bondage, but you'll also see sex toys, oil massages on tied girls, and a bit of hardcore sex here and there. The video section features far more hardcore action with all kinds of dildos, vibrators, and plenty of sex between Claude and his tied ladies. There is a heavy focus on oily massages and manhandling.
While Claude's Sexy Settings offers a fairly extensive preview section on it's very plain black tour pages, the outside of this site is almost as big a mess as the inside. It's a bit difficult to get a handle on what exactly is included with your membership, but at least it's easy to get a taste of the kind of amateur bondage, manhandling, pantyhose, and massage themes you'll see inside.
The members area doesn't offer any kind of search or sort tools at all. The materials are just sort of tiles on top of one another with a bit of text and some small preview images to represent each addition to the site. Things aren't particularly intuitive, and you don't always get what you're expecting when you click on something. Some of the update sections feature materials from just a single model while others are large archive sections with materials from multiple models. Again, nothing is very clear here and it's easy to find yourself feeling a bit lost.
The options for accessing the materials here are fairly basic. Photos sets are offered for viewing in thumbnail galleries and that's about it. The videos are typically offered for streaming or for download, the downloadable versions often come in ZIP files adding an additional and unnecessary step for viewers before they can begin watching.
A more user-friendly members area is all it would take to elevate Claude's Sexy Settings from just an okay site to a must see site for fans of this kind of light bondage action. The emphasis on massage and sensuality is a definite contrast to other more extreme BDSM collections out there, and the amateur nature of things combined with the domestic setting theme makes for an exciting concept. Let's hope Claude makes some improvements here soon!
