Bound covers some interesting niches - BDSM, submission, public nudity and sex, group sex, forced sex, humiliation, and rough sex. Bound in Public is from the same studio that produces Bound Gods and Naked Kombat, two hot and well-made BDSM sites. The tour shows men forced to submit - and some who love to submit - in public rest rooms, bars, locker rooms, even a grocery store, and outdoors. And not only are the men hot, but so are the scenarios. It’s been over a year since we reviewed Bound in Public, so it’s time to take another look.
The member area is almost identical to the tour, and you can view both in your choice of what they call full view or brief view, the full view showing several thumbs per episode, the brief only one, and gallery view that shows most episodes as only a thumb. Otherwise the site is easy and intuitive to use, is searchable and lists all info about each episode including performer names, number of pics and minutes of video, plus the date each episode was added to the site. There are currently 66 episodes, each with 59 minutes or more of video and 250+ pics. And they add a new video every week.
The Bound in Public videos are DRM-free, and are offered as downloadable WMV plus streaming Flash, WMVs, and QuickTime. The downloadable WMV's are displayed at 960x540 in HD. The streaming videos are shown at 720x404 in 3 qualities, although I definitely recommend the high quality unless you're on a slow connection. You can watch each streaming vid on the page or open it in a resizable player that can easily be maximized to go full screen, and looks good if you're playing the high versions.
When it comes to pics, Bound in Public delivers. Each episode comes with over 250 photos per set, offered in several parts. Although the pics seem to be vidcaps, they are shown at 800x1200 at good amateur quality. Each set can be browsed as a thumbnailed gallery or downloaded for later as a zip file. They're also PicLens enabled. The pics show off the scenes perfectly, and they're well-chosen so that while they show the action in each scene very well, they're not at all repetitious. Even those who aren't pic lovers might want to check out the photo sets and the comments left about each one by members.
The men and the action here are everything the tour promises. The willing "victims" are very into bondage, pain, submission, humiliation, and exhibitionism, and they're pushed to the limits. Some of the guys are cocky, and need to be taken down a peg, and they certainly are. The main guy is stripped, controlled and bound in front of a group of men in a public spot, and then the fun really starts. He may be blindfolded or gagged, tormented with clips, clamps and other painful gear or forced to service strangers' by sucking their cocks. He may be covered with spit or hot wax before he's finally fucked hard and covered with cum. And each one I watched got hard and stayed that way as he experienced pain, humiliation, and had both holes used.
There aren't a lot of extras here, but there is a discussion forum. There is a thread that gives the opportunity to become an audience member at one of the parties, so if you want to see the action live, it can happen. And once a week Bound in Public does a live show where you can not only watch the action, but direct it by adding your suggestions to the chat window.
This site doesn't have many issues. One thing that might confuse some is that the OUR SITES dropdown doesn't list bonus sites - it lists sites one has to join in order to see the action. Also you must create a free account before joining, and you'll find a pre-checked email offer on the join page. But overall even though the site is still small, the length of the videos and number of pics mean members get a lot more than most sites with twice the episodes have to offer.
I really like Bound in Public - the scenarios, the action, the energy. I also like the big downloadable videos, dates on all the updates, and most of all the hot men who are bound, humiliated in public, tortured and whose mouths and asses are pounded before they act as cum recepticals. With 66 episodes, and another added each week, the site is growing nicely and don’t forget, the videos are usually an hour long and there are masses of well-chosen pics. And of course, this site uses no DRM, so the videos are yours to keep. If you're looking for a mix of gay BDSM, public sex and group action in one very well-done site, Bound in Public is definitely worth checking out!
