This is a terrible banner. It looks like an ad for a fucking horror movie! This isn't sexy, it's scary! Luckily, the site itself is better. Here are some girls getting trained: Berlin, Amber Rayne, Jade Marxxx. The tour offers previews of every day of training.

Review:

One thing you have to say about the Kink.com people, producers of this site as well as such bondage/fetish classics as Fucking Machines, Water Bondage, Hogtied, and Ultimate Surrender. They are serious when it comes to kinky sex. And for this seriousness we applaud them. So much bondage and d/s material is ruined by campy role-playing and other silly stuff. Now the thing is, kinky sex often is kind of silly if you take a step back from it and consider it objectively. But who wants to be objective? Fans want to get inside this stuff, and they like it when the people involved are as serious about it as they are.

The Training of O (the title derivees from Pauline Reage's kink classic The Story of O) presents itself as a kind of documentary-style reality program that follows a woman through a schedule of four days of intensive training to become a better, more subservient sex slave. This training is varied, but usually involves heavy bondage, machine fucking, lots of sex with different male and female partners, corporal punishment (flogging, caning, etc.), or just doing menial jobs around the dungeon (San Francisco's Armory, Kink.com's headquarters). Each day's training comes with a list of goals to be achieved through a series of sessions. And this isn't like university where everybody passes. At least one of the girls couldn't take it and her training had to be cancelled. 

And we can't blame her. This shit can get pretty rough. By the end of their training these girls have bruises and cuts and welts on their skin from all the punishment they've been taking. But really the physical aspect of their training is only a part of it. There's also a lot of psychological training going on, as the models explore their submissiveness. As usual with the Kink sites the comment sections have a lot of good, informed discussion. One comment we loved had to do with a member wanting to see the models show more "emotional growth through their training." You see what we mean by taking kink seriously?

At the time we visited they were up to some 50 episodes (each episode being an hour to an hour and a half of video representing a single day's training, consisting of several different sessions). Names of some of the models include Berlin, Amber Rayne, and Julie Night. The main trainer is some guy named James who is really pretty good (though the black leather pants are a bit of a cliche). Mark Davis, who usually dishes out the punishment over at Sex and Submission, also shows up. And some women drop in to help train the slaves in pussy-eating. The specs are quite good, and just a month before we visited they actually started presenting all their scenes in 720p HD (there are also normal resoultion formats as well as iPod versions available). The layout is the same as all the Kink.com sites -- though remember that these are all separate memberships, though you do get a discount to join the others if you're a member of any one -- and you can easily preview all of the content by taking the site tour.

In general we were pleasantly surprised by this site. It isn't just the usual bondage and punishment site. They really do a good job with the whole slut/slave training angle. And even the parts where the girls discuss their training "after hours" in their rooms are interesting. Though we thought it was kind of weird how Berlin actually looks sexier in jeans and wearing glasses than she does all made-up and in latex. That said, for those of you who are really interested in the whole alternative d/s scene, this is quite an original and authentic-looking journey to the dark side. We would have liked to see a bit more content, but the production quality of what they already had up was very good. And while some of the girls looked kind of rough, in a way that helps make it seem all the more real.
