Visit Shackled Maidens

Shackled Maidens combines glamour photography with BDSM and fetish themes. It's very much a solo posing site, though I saw at least one spread featuring two women together. The emphasis is definitely on bondage as an artful expression rather than sheer raunchy debauchery. It certainly raises the bar a bit by being classy, although the models are what I would judge as highly attractive rather than beautiful. Nevertheless, it's the lack of perfection that makes it all the more enticing.

I praise ShackledMaidens for knowing that glamour shots are shown best in professional high-quality images. It currently has 623 photo galleries with superb-looking, high-res pictures. As to their artistic merit, some sessions succeed very well while others have an almost campy quality, being a tad too stiffly posed with overly complex lighting. You're able to save newer additions in Zip files and there are both black and white and color pictorials.

There are also 41 videos. The dramatic vignettes can be downloaded in excellent-quality MPEGs or great-quality Windows Media files. I was quite surprised by how pleased I was with such short, slightly overacted movies. Somehow, the glossy camp of a well-done-up woman pretending to squirm and writhe in pain is more erotic than if the acting was more convincing. All the vids look to be solo.

Getting around the site is actually super easy. You can access the pics and vids from the menu at the top of the page and you can also check out the model's page and explore the different kinds of toys used on the women. The members' forum continues to be active. There you will find a section with member requests. 

Updates roll in a few times a week and the quality of this collection continues to improve. After seeing how reasonable the monthly membership Shackled Maidens is (and an even cheaper rebill), I'd say this one is a no-brainer for lovers of erotic bondage art.
