I've had a long fascination with the middle ages and I don't mean milfs. Discovering that Limited Audience promised medieval fetish and bondage struck a major chord of excitement in me and my imagination was running wild with all the wild possibilities.
It's not often that I hit upon an exceptionally unique fetish and LimitedAudience (L.A.) had my hopes high. There wasn't any explicit member's entry point, but simply clicking on content brought up the login box. The design doesn't differ from the tour and while the site is manageable enough, I thought some work could be done to better reflect the originality of the fetish that was being offered.
Still, the site is nothing if not original. New content is added every week and while there isn't a bonus site, members get access to a newsletter and L.A.'s online magazine that you can download as PDF files. On its own the magazine is awesome and filled with editorials and comics, but the main features of the site include 46 models, 369 photosets, 278 video clips and 40 photo stories. There's also an addition 51 sets of artist rendered pictures and photo manipulations.
The photo stories were definitely unique. These are actual written short stories about bondage and damsels in distress and for each of them a set of photos reflecting the narrative is included. The stories aren't particularly outstanding, but they do titillate the imagination and the photos help carry the fantasy along.
Actual photosets include around 50 images (1024x769). Women in hogties, manacles, chains, hung on crosses and stakes, among other things, populate each and every set. While clear, the photos weren't particularly outstanding. In fact, they were fairly amateur and I often felt that there wasn't much variety within the sets. In fact, a photo editor would probably have taken a few pictures out because they looked too similar to others in the set. The main focus is on the bondage positions since most images were full body shots.
In any case, I hoped for more excitement from the videos. Vicious Hogtie was the name of the newest photoset as well as the latest Windows Media movie. The site promises clips and this is exactly what you get from these one-minute glimpses. This film opened on a gagged and hogtied babe struggling on the floor. It didn't hold my attention. A film called 'Walk to Perdition' had a bit more softcore activity, but these aren't action films so much as they're snippets from someone's fantasy world.
Photo stories and the Limited Audience magazine are what held my attention here. I had some expectations going into the site and felt satisfied by the Goth and medieval uniforms and scenarios, but I was left feeling like I needed and wanted more substance from the photos and especially from the videos.
