Site Details:

Here is something that grabs you by the balls, squeezes them and doesn't let you go until you've succumbed to the principle that pain can be pleasurable. The Pain Files slaps you in the face with extreme hardcore, bondage and S&M images, and then promises thousands more with its own, original videos. Whereas some fetish sites only tickle around the edge of the subject matter this one goes full on right from the word go. The first pages even come with a warning so you know this is going to be extreme stuff, and that alone should be enough to grab your attention. If not the images of tortured and bound babes will.

The Pain Files aims to bring you an extreme collection of BDSM galleries and videos featuring sexy girls and torture. The first few images on the tour leave you in little doubt that the site delivers on what it promises: from nipple clamps to hot wax there is a great variety of fetish content here and, at the heart of it, is the world of pleasurable pain. The content is exclusive and original and there are going to be weekly updates to a site that is already straining at the fetters with hot, hard and punishing content.

The black background and design continues in the members' area where you feel like you are entering a dungeon; red lettering in the banner and clearly marked text in the menu all add to the overall feeling of danger. However, you are met with the update news so even if the members' area looks forbidding, you are not left to struggle. It's easy to find the places where you want to go with the collection of videos and images accessed from the left menu and images from the recent additions centre stage. A long scroll down the main page will take you back to October 2008 with links to even older content - there is a lot here.

The photo area is divided up by girl and then by category to and the video area is arranged by numbered archive. This might make it easier for you to keep track of where you are; done archive one? Simply move on to archive two. You can also cross to the main video page for clips and full length scenes to get a flavour of what's to come. It can look a bit complicated at first with so many options to click and view but that's because there is so much here. But you still have the main links in the top banner to get you home again should you start to panic.

Back on the home page you'll find video viewing instructions in case you have problems, and there are also links to some extras here. These are made up of a set of bonus material and a link to a BDSM dating site - so we're staying within our niche.

It's this main left menu that is the most helpful way of finding your way through the mass of content, and it also contains links to some of the girls and their details, which means you have various ways of getting to the content. That can take some getting used to but persevere as it will be well worth the effort.

With content arranged in so many ways it's hard to count the exact number of clips, galleries, full length scenes and extra footage but suffice to say there is a wealth of content here and all on topic.

Clicking the Video tab in the top banner brings you to 10 archive areas with various amounts of episodes in each one. These are then arranged in clips and a full length version is also available. These were all WMV files.

Subject matter varies from what you might call standard bondage through to some very extreme kinds of torture and it's clear that these slave girls know and like what they are doing. Whipping, shaving, anal insertions, hot wax, clothes pegs on the nipples, medical examinations and implements, pussy torture and plenty of demeaning acts are portrayed here and the quality of productions is good. Videos were clear and sharp even when playing at only 512kbps @ 320 x 240.

I was invited to check out the slave girls by name and found 31 listed on the page with links to their contributions. Beneath this list were four specific categories: Feet, BDSM, Lifestyles and Bondage. Clicking one brought up content that fitted the categories and clear links to more videos and galleries. There are sets of screen caps to be found, but also larger galleries with images at 900 x 600 in size which fit well on the screen and which are clear and digital. These can also be saved to your machine and, as the videos are DRM free, it's not going to take you long to build up a big stock of fetish content for home viewing.

Back to the homepage to check out those two bonus features: the Bonus Material page contained 37 galleries from three other extreme BDSM sites, and the Bonus Dating link led to a new window and ALT.com. This is a BDSM themed dating and chat site but your password and username won't work. You can look around for free but to fully benefit from the things here you will have to sign up - not exactly a bonus extra.

Pros:

• Lots of extreme BDSM as promised;
• Many fetishes are explored;
• Some good quality videos;
• Good quality photos;
• Regular updates;
• A large archive.

Cons:

• Navigation was confusing;
• Video quality was not always HD;
• The bonus dating site isn't an extra;
• Not many bonuses.

I came away from The Pain Files knowing that what I had seen was real. These girls, and the guys who appear with them, know what they are doing and are into their fetishes. That's always good to see and this leads to realistic videos and galleries. There are plenty of these and many hours of viewing lie ahead. My only problem was with the navigation which I found confusing. A couple of simplified pages would help; all videos here, photo sets there, model index there and updates here - that's all you need. But all said and done you get what's promised on the tour and that is hard, painful, erotic and downright nasty fetish acts that will appeal to folk who know exactly what they want.

Some of this is just too nasty for me. It's horrible. I don't know how these girls can go through with it.

I agree about the navigation. It looks ok to start with but I was soon lost and not sure where I'd been.

Yes, some girls looked like they were into it, others looked like they were acting. Some of the stuff they do to these women is not for the faint hearted that's for sure. But you are told what to expect.
