| Review:
Bondage
is
art
porn.
That
doesn't
mean
it's
always
classy
or
dignified,
because
it
sure
as
hell
isn't,
it
just
means
that
the
impulse
behind
it
seems
(at
least
to
us)
to
be
the
transformation
of a
woman
into
a
made
object,
something
artistically
arranged
and
displayed.
Which
may
be
why
for
most
bondage
sites
the
ropemaster
or
rigger
gets
as
much
star
billing
as
some
of
his
(or
her)
models.
Like
a
photographer's
studio,
the
bondage
expert
is
an artiste,
with
a
unique
creative
vision
and
style. The
"Gord"
in
House
of
Gord
(complete
with
heraldic
crest)
is
one
Jeff
Gord.
His
site
bills
itself
the
home
of
"ultrabondage."
Ultra
in
this
case
doesn't
mean
"extreme,"
at
least
in a
sexual
sense,
as
"weird."
This
site
pushes
the
bondage
fetish
so
far
along
in
one
direction
it
sometimes
doesn't
have
much
to
do
with
sex
at
all.
Instead
the
model
literally
disappears
into
an
object.
It's
not
quite
like
Fucking
Machines.
There
are
machines
here
that
fuck
the
girls,
but
the
point
is
more
in
making
the
girls
become
machines.
The
point
isn't
that
they
are
fucking,
but
that
they're
being
transformed.
One
girl,
for
example,
is
tied
up
and
put
into
a
box
with
a
mechanical
dildo
pumping
in
and
out
of
her.
We
watch
as
she
is
secured
and
all
the
doors
and
lids
on
the
box
are
shut.
Even
the
part
over
her
head.
And
that's
it.
We
know
she's
still
in
there,
we
can
hear
the
dildo
piston
still
working,
but
the
movie
ends
with
a
long
shot
simply
of
the
outside
of
the
box.
The
model
has
gone. This
is
an
extreme
example
of
what
we
mean
by
disappearance.
The
woman
vanishes
into
a cocooned
state
(literally),
and
is
then
transformed
into
something
else.
A
piece
of
furniture,
an
appliance,
a
bit
of
machinery,
or
some
hybrid
object.
Mr.
Gord
seems
quite
handy
at
building
his
little
contraptions.
And
what
contraptions
they
are!
Here
are
some
examples:
Very
odd
indeed.
And
believe
us,
this
is
just
scratching
the
surface.
We're
not
showing
you
the
lawn
sprinkler
girl
or
the
truly
bizarre
"Wench
Wheeler"
(which
has
two
girls
fastened
to
the
drive
of a
paddle
wheel
boat--that
we
were
frankly
terrified
was
going
to
turn
over). There
is a
philosophy
behind
all
of this.
Bondage
people
are
often
quite
philosophical.
Maybe
it's
the
artistic
thing.
Anyway,
here
is
part
of
the
House
of
Gord
manifesto:
"This
is
about
fun,
for
our
models,
our
subscribers,
and
us.
We
are
not interested
in
degrading
women,
or anyone
else
for
that
matter.
This
is
not
a website
about
humiliation,
distress,
abuse
or
torture.
This
website
is a
celebration
of
the
creative
aspects
of
bondage,
the
fun
and
pleasure
that
consenting
adults
with
a
true
interest
in
bondage
can
attain
by
trying
new and
wonderful
bondage
scenarios.
We
believe
a
woman
in
bondage
is
not
only
immensely
powerful,
but
also
staggeringly
beautiful.
Immensely
powerful?
You
bet!
Although
objectification
is a
common
theme
in
our
bondage,
the
object
of
our bondage-filled
fantasies
wields
incredible
power
over
us,
the
observer,
by allowing
herself
to
become
an
icon
symbolizing
just
that
thing
that
makes
us hot.
In
this
way,
a
woman
in
bondage
holds
our
libido
in
her
control."
Uh-huh.
We
sort
of
follow
this
. .
.
though
we
have
to
admit
we're
not
sure
how
it
applies
to a
woman
turned
into
a
water
heater.
Is
it
the
woman
who
has
the
power,
or
the
fetish?
We
suspect
the
latter.
But,
alas,
this
is a
porn
review
and
not
a
psychological
inquiry
. .
. As
you
can
tell
from
our
high
score,
we
really
enjoyed
this
site.
It's
extremely
inventive
and
has
a
lot
of
hands-on
personal
touches.
We
were
especially
impressed
with
how
the
photo
galleries
were
imbedded
in
written
accounts
of
the
shoot,
explaining
what
went
wrong
and
what
went
right.
Another
thing
that
impressed
us
was
the
amount
of
content.
When
we
visited
they
were
up
to
955
updates.
This
figure
includes
photo
sets
and
videos,
with
the
number
of
video
sets
being
around
230.
That's
quite
a
substantial
archive. We
did
have
some
substantial
gripes
though.
The
technical
quality
isn't
the
greatest.
The
video
was
all
in
RealPlayer,
with
the
best
stuff
available
only
being
around
400
kb/s
playback.
Some
high-res
video
would
be
nice.
The
photos
are
also
kind
of
small,
looking
to
average
around
600x800.
And
they're
not professional
studio
stills
either,
but
usually
just
pics
that
look
like
they
were
taken
during
a
session,
behind-the-scenes
style.
Here
are
some
things
we
missed: (1)
Dates
on
the
material.
Though
it's
obvious
the
site
is
updating,
we're
not
sure
if
there
is a
regular
schedule
at
all.
Dating
the
updates
would
be a
help.
They
would
also
be
of
assistance
when
reading
the
"Gord
Notes."
Because
we
weren't
sure
when
these
were
written
we
didn't
know
if
what
he
was
talking
about
was
still
important. (2)
A
message
board
or
member
forum/feedback
page.
For
a
site
with
this
much
of a
hands-on
feel,
the
ability
to
interact
with
the
people
running
it
would
be a
big
plus. (3)
Clearer
navigation.
The
way
it's
set
up
now
isn't
bad,
but
it
took
us a
while
to
figure
out.
We
discovered
that
the
models
names
were
hotlinked
totally
by
accident
(yes
it
would
help
if
we
read
the
instructions,
but
do
you?).
The
categories
they
use
aren't
that
obvious
either.
There's
some
crossover
involved
in
various
sections,
and
we
never
did
figure
out
what
"Forniphilia"
meant.
We
have
a
hunch
they
just
made
that
one
up. So
yes,
we
did
have
reservations.
But
we
have
to
give
this
site
a
high
score
in
recognition
of
the
size
of
the
archive
and
the
originality
of
the
material.
As
for
whether
it's
your
thing
or
not,
that's
of
course
a
very
personal
call
given
the
extreme
nature
of
the
fetish
being
explored.
For
what
it's
worth
we'd
say
this
is
bondage
that
tends
to
be
almost
asexual,
emphasizing
objectification
and
total
body
immobilization.
Lots
of
rubber/spandex
body-suits
and
cocooning,
not
as
much
rope
work.
Quite
a
bit
of
pony-girl
stuff.
The
woman-as-vehicle-hood
ornament
idea
(see
picture
above)
gets
used
quite
a
bit.
Compared
to
the
line-up
of
Kink.com
sites
(like
Fucking
Machines)
there
is less
emphasis
on
actual
fucking
and
more
attention
to
presentation/display.
Overall,
a
very
good
site.
Like
the
devices
they
use
it
has
a
bit
of a
homemade
feel
to
it,
but
that's
also
part
of
the
charm.
God
knows
if
you're
into
bondage
at
all
you
should
take
a
look. |
