Society SM review SocietySM by Rabbit

Initial review: 3/14/2006

Society SM sounds like it might be a high-class S&M site and although it isn't exactly dedicated to white trash either, the "society" in the name really has nothing to do with high society. They say that it's a California Bondage Company, while I say that's it's one of the best site in this category I've seen in awhile. I've mentioned before that in many niches of content it seems that site producers ask their members to compromise between quality and quantity. Either, there's a lot that isn't so or there's hardly anything but what there is, is high quality. No tradeoff is required at SocietySM since it is a huge collection by any category's standards and it is all good-looking stuff too.

Society SM archives go back to the beginning of 2004, so for example that means after careful counting I discovered about 350 high-resolution zipped galleries. These are crisp photographs with precise details of action clearly visible. As is generally the case with "real" BDSM scenarios much of the content is soft-core in the sense that the women are naked but the men are clothed. However, there are also scenes that could be classified as lesbian and even hardcore, as some of the masters get naked after subjecting their female subs to torturous foreplay. You will even see some penetration and cumshots. Nevertheless, there is no shortage of bondage, suspensions, tit clamping, whipping, spanking, machine fucking, pussy and ass play.

Admittedly, there are fewer videos, but you'll enjoy currently about 275 sets of average looking downloadable clips. Prior to this year, each came in multiple short clips in RealPlayer (320x240, 357kbps). The good news is two positive improvements have been made, the videos since the beginning of 2005 have been presented in longer clips with fewer files to download and you can now select both RealPlayer or slightly better looking Windows Media format (640x480, 529kbps). There is also a gallery of 33 full-length movies that stream-only in RealPlayer. The videos look better in playback than the stats may seem to purport since one has to keep in mind that often videos with significantly higher resolutions don't necessarily look great if the lighting and camera work isn't professionally done. At SocietySM, they seem to spend significant energy and presumably decent money on professional shoots so even with less flashy numbers the actual images look good.

The main point in this site's favor besides the loads of high quality galleries and the enjoyable videos is the dedication and reliability found at Society SM. You get more than two regular updates weekly and they're archived past episodes instead of rotating their stock. I think for any true BDSM fan it's bound to give you pleasure long term.
