Initial review: 12/24/2006 - Updated on: 7/5/2008

I can't say that I quite knew what I was in for with Roman Video, but I can tell you that I was thankful it didn't have anything to do with Roman showers.

While RomanVideo is fairly easy to navigate, I also noticed a number of links where you could purchase videos.  There's a few advertisements, but thankfully, they aren't intrusive. Judging from the update schedule, it looks like you get new content five days a week. However, the updates appear to happen only at the end of every month because nothing was added in the beginning of the month.

There are some extreme things happening here though, and I was relieved that the BDSM on this site is more about smothering and trampling than anything else. However, when I got into the members' area, I was surprised to find a few more fetishes than I expected. Spitting, human furniture and slapping galleries are also included in the extensive list of categories.

There are five photo categories. I didn't like the layout of the galleries. A couple have thumbnails, but the rest have a column of previews and you'll need to use the scroll button to search. Also, the sets are divided, and while it may seem as though there's a lot, often there are up to 24 mini-sets that belong to the same pictorial and they're not always grouped together. Counting only complete sets, there are 46 of them and they contain between seven and 15 digital photos.

There are 37 erotic stories with themes ranging from smothering to trampling and these are free with your membership. There are also pay-per-view movies, but no bonus sites as far as I can tell.

Movie galleries include smothering, human furniture, femdom, slapping and interviews with various models. There's a total of 24 poor-quality Windows Media videos and the bulk of the action is in the realm of smothering. Therefore, if you're searching for more content with other themes, then this site only caters a little to your fantasies. The movies are divided into one to two-minute parts and I'd say the average total length of a film is around 15-minutes. The image was clear, but I really expected higher quality than I found. Some films start with a bit of teasing before the smothering action. There can also be a little spanking in some films and even hardcore as part of the play, but when it comes to the bulk of action, smothering is high on the agenda.

There used to be more content than there is now, so they could be rotating content as there is still a weekly update schedule. I think if Roman Video starts building galleries with higher quality, then this will be a good place to satisfy your smothering fetish, but until then the site is merely an average one.
