In each episode of Punished 5, the premise is that the model has hired "Matthew Cole: Punishment by Appointment Only" to put herself, wearing only lacy underwear, in strenuous bondage. And bare-breasted. Not to mention getting whipped. And groped. Cole films the experience and gives them a copy when they leave, well-satisfied and probably post-orgasmic.

Georgia van Helsing starts it off. She enters, wearing a white long-sleeved sweater and beige wrap-around skirt. Cole takes care of the finances, then suggests that Georgia should sit on the dildo chair. He also shows her the Penis Pole, a suspended spreader bar, and a St. Andrews cross, all of which she thinks would be just fine. After getting straight to the point by lifting her sweater and feeling up her breasts, Cole shows her the flogger. She wants that, too.

Tied Eiffel Tower, she gets to rub the Penis Pole against her pantied crotch. Her skirt is gone, but the sweater is still on, pulled up over her tits. Cole starts rolling the tape, and Georgia gives that pole, and her pussy, a real workout. A little flogging, front and back, won't hurt. Actually, it does, but that’s part of the deal. More, she says. How about some crotch-fondling, too?

Next the eager beaver is put into an inverted spread-eagle, featuring a snug crotch strap. A strap gag over mouth packing completes the tableau. A bit of whipping and a crotch massage are her rewards.

We move on to tied topless and AOH, thighs and ankles securely strapped together, with a rope jammed up between her legs at crotch level for a brief rope ride. That rope cuts pretty deeply into her you-know-what. She gets re-positioned to her knees, still astride the rope, wrists cuffed behind her back. Face aimed at Cole’s crotch, her ungagged mouth begging for what’s coming next. Get it? Coming next?

Georgia is an eager participant in all this, maybe even too eager. The positions are simple, Georgia’s responses are charged. This is one of those “less is more” episodes.

Grade: B

Punished introduces us to everyone’s bondage sweetheart, Lori Waverly. She comes to see Cole wearing a trench coat. She takes it off right away, and is dressed only in garters, stockings, and panties. She forks over the fee -- $200!

Cut to her first position, which gets right down to business. She’s on a chair, with her ankles tied to the front legs, her arms tied behind her strappado. A rope around the back of her neck bends her over forward. Add on a ball gag, and this girl is in trouble. About all the molesting that can go in is breastal, so Cole pitches in.

Next, still in the chair, she’s sitting back, with one leg tied straight out and fastened to a crotch rope that’s doing a fine job of cutting her in two. When the leg lowers, the rope wedges harder into the pussy -- one of Blakemore's favorite dirty tricks. More breast molesting. A neck strap keeps her close to the post behind her.

The lucky lass next gets laid face-down on the stretching rack. Leather straps around her neck, chest, and waist keep her upper body glued to the rack. And wouldn't you know, she gets stretched. Cole pulls down her panties to whip her sorry ass. That’s probably punishment for wearing her panties underneath her garter. They always go over. He then pulls the crotch panel of her panties aside and beckons the camera to come in for an ultra close-up of Lori's pleasure portal.

Cut to Lori face-up on the rack, her legs tied high and wide. Just to prove that he's a nice guy after all, Cole takes off her gag and caresses her body with a soft feather.

Lori is tied so tightly she doesn't get to react to her bondage. She's reduced to something to put ropes on. She needs a little more freedom to show us her best stuff.

Grade: C

Sharon Montgomery pays the next visit. Showtime. She’s dressed in a maroon leotard and maroon wrap-around skirt, which Cole immediately removes. After giving her butt a sample thwack with the whip, he grabs her upper arms from behind and pushes her over to the bondage rigging. I love it when women get handled that way.

Now dressed in a white bustier and stockings, Sharon is tied in a loose vertical spread-eagle. The bustier has been lowered to expose her breasts, which get a heavy dose of fondling. Not to mention her crotch. (Sharon is digging the shit out of this.)

Cole brings up the dildo chair to the platform Sharon is standing on. He pulls down her panties and adjusts her arm attachment points so she can sit right down on the wooden rod, and she does. Sits right down. No hesitation. Her arms get taken down and fastened behind her back. Sharon pretends to struggle. More breast-fondling and nipple-pulling. Out comes the camera, and Sharon hams up her struggling.

Now we're tied to a post, AOH with ankles close together. A dildo stick is attached a rope attached to her wrists. When she pulls her wrists down, the dildo goes up to her pussy. This is a short scene, but it seems that Sharon took what advantage she could of the setup.

The masterpiece comes next. She is tied in a three-point Flying Wallenda, the fourth leg left on the ground. A crotch rope is tied on rather firmly. Her squirming tugs at the rope, digging into and rubbing pretty tightly against her pussy. Man, is she working that rope hard! Scientific close-ups abound. And look at her face. Are we getting lost in the moment?

Watch this episode, or anything else she does, in slow motion. You will notice the little things that make her the master of this genre.

Grade: A

Karen Arthur is next up, wearing a white long-sleeved blouse and what looks like the same maroon wrap-around skirt Montgomery was just wearing. Is there a bondage tag team at work? After taking care of the finances, a curious piece of editing shows Karen putting her skirt back on, getting her videotape, shaking hands with Cole, then leaving.

Anyway, Karen is shown sitting on an empty spool of cable, in only her blouse and panties. Her wrists are handcuffed to a low-lying pipe, and a metal collar around her neck is chained to the wall. Cole enters.

Dissolve to Karen tied AOH to an overhead pipe, ankles handcuffed together, her stunning figure on full display after Cole opens up the front of her blouse. Jesus God. Out comes the flogger and Karen gets a heavy dose of Cole’s best. Break to the same pose, but with her ankles tied a few feet apart. The whipping continues. Her panties get scrunched up for a little cunt-busting.

Then begins some pussy-fondling, and breast massaging, and the episode seems to be running out of steam, but Aha! Out come the clover clamps! Attached by a taut string to the overhead pipe, and each with a firm grip on a tender nipple, the poor dear dares not move when the whip strikes. This can't feel good at all. Do-it-yourselfers, I hope you're taking notes.

The clamps come off, and Karen is turned around so we can see her butt get flogged. And, thank you God, Cole pulls down her panties so we can see its magnificence (below). Man, that’s just pure. A lot of fondling follows, natch.

In the final pose, Karen is tied with her legs up in the air, ankles together, but her shoulders are still on the ground. A crotch rope gets attached to double her fun, and she is gagged (finally!). Out come the feather, to caress her breasts, and then all over.

Karen Arthur, not wearing too much, getting whipped a lot. I could watch that all day.

Grade: A

Karen Arthur comes in, again, to get stripped, tied up, fondled, and whipped. Geez! Does Matthew Cole have a job, or what?

This time, Karen is wearing a half-sleeved little black dress, a black hat, and a wig you could use as a throw rug. Screw the preliminaries, let’s get right to being tied in a vertical spread-eagle, still fully clothed. Cole shows her a little dildo. Up comes the dress to shoulder height so he can fondle her tits and massage her pussy through her red panties with the dildo.

After a dissolve, a leather crotch strap has been securely fastened on. Now if it were me, I would have cranked that dildo up to High and shoved it up inside her before holding it in place the crotch strap. We don't see if that happened here, but by the big smile on Karen's face, and the way she gyrates against her bondage, I'll bet that’s exactly what happened. Might have been her idea, too.

Cut to her tied down to the no-seat chair, and gagged, legs tied wide apart. The crotch strap is till working its magic. Much breast-fondling. (Wish.)

Finally, Karen is inverted, wearing only her panties, ankles tied together. A rope strung between to posts threads its way between her legs and pulls down on her pussy. Cole cinches the rope it pretty snugly before he secures it. Her wrist and elbows are strapped behind her back, but not fastened to anything. Here you can see her trim shape better than in any other position. My, oh my.

When Karen leaves, she stands outside the door, slips off her panties and starts fingering herself.

Karen isn't challenged too much by her bondage, but she looks so good in it you don't mind. No whipping in this episode, either. Even though this is all for fun, you wish she was getting hurt some, too.

Grade: B

Overall grade: A

Pluses: This edition doesn't have the high GIMP factor that the other films do. After all, none of these women were "kidnapped" or forced into their bondage. What we see is their beautiful female forms erotically displayed, as they eagerly please themselves, and us, in the bargain. The video succeeds at what it tries to be.
