Updated each Tuesday, with occasional bonus updates. Taking bondage-loving women on a sensual journey since 1997.

My Impression
Well it's only natural that the first review should be of the grand daddy of them all, Hogtied. I still remember looking at this site when I was at uni, nearly 10 years ago. Actually not much has changed on the site since then, and that's a good thing.

They stick to a very simple format: 16 photos or so thumbnails showing the action, streaming video and short clips. Pretty much any bondage actress who has ever been, or wants to be, somebody is on Hogtied. The fact that so many mainstream adult stars have been on the camera is testament to the popularity of this site.

I don't know how many videos this site has, but it would be in the thousands. It's interesting to watch the progression from early, unsophisticated bondage scenes in the old videos to the modern day versions. Like watching the advancement of the internet right before your eyes.

In essence Hogtied is a glamour bondage website, but that doesnt mean they go easy on the girls. Oh no, they are strapped, bound, teased and tormented in new and ingenious ways. The riggers try to set the standard in the industry. Matt Williams (as of writing this) is the main rigger, who cut his teeth at Insex, so he definetely knows what he's doing. Some of the girls are here to make up the numbers, others truly enjoy getting tied up and dominated.Given the huge amount of content, you won't have much trouble finding the latter.

INSIDE
Inside is almost exactly like the update page, thumbnails and a brief description of each scene. The descriptions arn't that exciting; the producers need to realise that the written word can be more important than the visuals. The quality of the streaming video is excellent, clips play without any hassle. Large photos are available individually or as a zip file. Also present is a forum where suggestions can be made or talk with the actress, the community feeling is strong.

What would I like to see?
A search function implemented to find specific clips; more sex and bondage; more varied settings. With the purchase of a new building (a castle, no less!), I'm sure we're going to see more varied scenes as they make use of the different rooms.

Overall
If there's only one site your going to join, this is it. I never thought this site was the best out there for many years (especially during the Insex reign) but nowdays the quality of the production is pretty much unrivalled by anyone. Must be the huge number of members helping the producers, or maybe they just have oodles of cash. Whatever it is, they are doing something right.
