First Impressions

The site seems at first to be a little jumbled and cluttered. But it does not take you too long to begin to work out how to navigate through what is in front of you and also as to why there are so many things to fill in when completing the registration process. The initial registration process does seem to be incredibly pedantic and quite laborious, but once you are registered it becomes clear that all of then items that you have filled in can help you (and other site users) to find their perfect BDSM play partner. The options down the left hand side change colour when something new has happened… such as you have received a message or someone new has viewed your profile and you can then easily have a quick look who it is and see if you are interested.

Facilities

Private Messages – send and receive messages to other site members
Search Facility - Search for other users based on gender, age, location, height, size, interests…… I think they may have just about covered everything
Record a Video or Audio Greeting for your Profile - Helps to improve your chances of finding a match
Journals – Blog entries which other users can read and respond to if they wish
Message Boards - Very busy and active forums with a multitude of topics from events to sales, and professional services to photography…. there is something for everyone here
Chatrooms - Includes a large variety of themed rooms, based on your region and your particular kink or fetish. There is even a video & audio chat room which is very impressive for a free site which allows you to view up to seven other users cam’s simultaneously
BDSM Gear - Links to the Extreme Restraints Website
BDSM Movies - Comes with the options to pay per minute, streaming movie rentals, or download movies to own

Suggestions:

For a free site I cannot think of any major improvements which could be made to this site. A separate events/clubs/parties section is the only thing that springs immediately to mind, as although this is covered within the forum section…. new posts can quickly get moved down the list. Although the site is largely free and advertisement driven…. the ad’s are not overbearing. The BDSM movies section does require you to part with your money if you chose to view them, but given that the rest of the site is free I see no reason to mark the site down as the value for money aspect is great. Finally…. and this is more of an observation rather than a criticism, as the site is worldwide, it does seem to comprise mainly of American members(there are less than 50,000 UK members) which does make finding others a little difficult if you are not based in the States.
