Limited Audience offers a 100% exclusive collection of "damsel in distress" style bondage materials featuring amateur models. This is a softcore site that focuses on bondage only, not sex or other BDSM activities. The site has been around for about 11 years now and has amassed quite a collection. Does it still have what it takes? Let's take an exclusive look inside and find out.
The Limited Audience collection is a pretty good size at over 485 videos and tens of thousands of individual photos. Because of the way the photo materials are displayed here, it's a bit difficult to get a handle on just how many sets there are. I believe the total is around 25,000 individual images across perhaps 1000 or so different galleries. It looks like updates are coming at a rate of one video and two photo galleries per week.
The material here had a definite amateur feel to them, both in terms of the models selected for the shoots as well as the setting than the style of the bondage. Indoor and outdoor locations are used, and the babes are often dressed in seductive fetish wear like shiny latex, core sets, fancy lingerie, spiked leather collars, and garters and stockings. As I mentioned, this is a softcore site and in many cases you won't even really see any nudity. This is all about seeing the sexy babes tied up in a variety of ways and watching them struggle against their ropes.
Limited Audience has been around for about 11 years, so it probably comes as no surprise that there is variation in quality and the older materials are not as nice as the newer materials. It looks like the site made a bump in quality in 2007, and all of the videos that have been added since then are available at up to 1280 x 708 pixels with bitrates of around 3000 kbps. Unfortunately, the older videos are very low in quality at just 320 x 240 pixels, 260 kbps. Frankly, these just look bad, and much of the video collection does indeed come at this very low quality level. Recently released photos come at up to 1024 pixels on the long side while the older images are just 800 pixel on the long side.
It's easy to get a preview of this softcore, amateur bondage site by checking out the tour pages. The mostly black and gray tour gives you a very good idea of the kind of models and materials you'll see inside but doesn't offer a lot of detail when it comes to the specs of the materials.
I'm not really a fan of the way the members' area is set up here. You can view a list of all of the videos in order they were added to the site, but the only way to view the photos that is to check out each individual models page. Furthermore, there are absolutely no search, sort, or advanced navigation tools available here at all. On his site the size, this is a major detriment.
The majority of the video collection here at Limited Audience is available only in WMV format for download at a single quality level. Very recently, it looks like perhaps sometime in December of 2010, the options were expanded to include downloadable options in WMV and MP4 formats and a streaming option in Flash format.
Limited Audience seems to have been content with a very low quality level and zero options for the majority of its history, but this amateur bondage site is slowly getting up to speed. The new video options are an excellent addition, and quality is looking better and better. For fans of softcore, damsel in distress style bondage, this is probably worth a lot due to its exclusivity and uniqueness factors.
