And if Pedro won't retire then neither will I. Here's my review of Elite Pains latest offering.
Today we see Cythia take on the infamous Cards of Pain. It's the 14th instalment of the series so I hope you know the rules by now, but for the uninitiated, here they are. The player has to divide 100 strikes between 5 body parts. Those body parts are; soles/thighs, pussy, boobs, bum and back. The minimum number is 10. After this the player draws "lucky" cards which alter the punishment. The player only wins when all 5 rounds are completed.
So that's the game, now let's talk about Cynthia. She is super cute, very adorable. It's everything from the way she looks, the way she speaks and her mannerisms and facial expressions. She is also blessed with delightfully pert breasts (seriously Cynthia, don't enhance them). That puts me in a quandary. I like her and would like to see her win but since she said she intends to put the money towards breast surgery I kind of don't want her to win. Either way she puts up a hell of a fight in this game and puts in a very strong performance for a newbie.
Cynthia chooses to go with 10 on the soles, 10 on the pussy, 15 on the breasts, 25 on the back and 40 on the bum. It's quite interesting in a way because most of the time the players go with most of the strikes on the back. We got a little bit of chat with the host and I would say that Cynthia seems quite excited to start playing. Certainly she is mostly smiles before the game begins. There are a few nervous tells where she goes to bite her lip but overall I would say she is approaching this with an air of positivity.
Round 1
40 strikes on the bum- saved.
Lucky Cynthia. She opts to get the biggest round out of the way first and ends up with a save. But she would do well not to trust luck as in COP luck is a cruel and fickle mistress.
Round 2
10 strikes on the soles - all x2.
Yes luck really is cruel and fickle. All x2 means that all rounds are now doubled. So we get 20 strikes on the soles. It's the first time we've seen bastinado at Elite Pain for some time and it doesn't disappoint. You can see the nerves kicking in for Cynthia now that she is tied up and the moment is upon her.
It doesn't take long before tears start to well up in her eyes. It never does take long to be honest. It must be extremely painful for her to go through. Every once in a while you see her curling up her toes in a reflex action and it is so sexy.
But the sexiest thing for me is how Cynthia tries to control her reactions. With every strike she loses control of her breathing and she is taking in breaths rapidly. All this is so clearly visible with her being thin and lying down. But she doesn't let loose with screaming or crying. Instead she tries to get away with audibly exhaling, almost like she's sighing. It's just another thing she does that is very cute.
It is worth saying that Amanda and Tatjana do not seem to be giving it the beans yet. I sensed that they were holding back for the moment. The mind games aren't too prevalent either. This means that Cynthia makes it past round 2.
Round 3
20 strikes on the pussy - hold pos.
Cynthias strategy for the game seems to be getting the rounds she fears most out the way first. So we have the pussy round next and she draws hold pos. So she isn't tied up but she has to stay in position. If she doesn't the round starts again. It's a fiendish concept that broke Lyen back in COP 3 so let's see how Cynthia does.
Once again the doms don't appear to be fully letting go with the power and they both stick to the strap. Yes Tatjana doesn't swap out to the single tail. So for any fans of that you may be disappointed with this round. But hold on before deciding this isn't for you.
The main benefit to the strap is just how badly Cynthias pussy gets marked up. It turns bright red very quickly. Once again Cynthia tries to cope with the pain with her panting and sighing technique. God it's so cute when she lets out a little yelp and exclamation of "oh". I also love how softly she speaks to Amanda and Tatjana when she is told to keep her position. She doesn't move too much though and I am glad the round didn't restart because it's not like her legs ever closed up, she just let go of them with her hands is all. It's worth noting the red marks on her legs where she is gripping them so tightly. It's not easy but in the end Cynthia makes it past round 3.
Round 4
30 strikes on the breasts - pussy.
The reaction when Cynthia sees that she has to take another 30 strikes on the pussy is priceless. She instantly thinks to quit the game. Indeed the host has to use his powers of persuasion to great effect to keep her playing on.
And the round does not disappoint. Cynthia starts by asking the doms to hit more lightly because the last round hurt a lot. The aggressive response from Amanda and Tatjana lets Cynthia know that she done f***** up. And yes the intensity picks up in more ways than one.
Yes we start to see more power and Cynthia starts audibly crying. She isn't much of a screamer though I must say. But now Tatjana pulls her signature move out of the bag and switches the strap for the single tail. The result on Cynthias already raw pussy is academic. The blood starts to flow free and the pain builds rapidly. It has to be said that this is the round Cynthia starts to find out what EP is all about.
There is an interesting moment of note in this round. Amanda taunts Tatjana for moving to the single tail stating "without this she can't produce her killer strokes". We start to see a little descension between the two friends. Amanda even states that Ariel is a better friend. And at this point I couldn't believe my ears. It must surely have something to do with the events of the upcoming COP Co Op game with Amanda and Ariel teaming up to win the prize.
Cynthia does manage to make it through the round though. In my book this is where she shows a truly heroic performance. She goes from wanting to quit before the round to making it through despite a now bleeding pussy. Weirdly though the highlight for me is the look on her face after she realises she made a mistake asking the doms to hit more gently. It's so cute.
Round 5
50 strikes on the back - x2.
And now luck plays a sadistically evil hand. 50 strikes doubled up to 100. The look of shock and horror on Cynthias face says it all. This is going to be a mountain to climb. But it is the last round, the money is so close. It may as well be in another continent though. She is clearly shaken and feeling a little worn out after the previous 70 strikes. But she goes for it and so we're going the distance. I said she was heroic.
Amanda and Tatjana know what they are doing. The first half of this round is pure set up. We see quite a few vertical strikes and lots of horizontal strikes on different parts of the back. It leaves virtually no fresh parts of the back for the second half which makes the pain build exponentially. And after 40 strikes or so they start hitting with a lot more force.
Cynthia starts screaming more in this round. And there were times where her pained expression reminded me of Lucy. I can't put my finger on why but it did. The suffering here is really immense and the ending is dramatic. I won't spoil that for you but I guarantee it will please you.
In summary
I think this is a really good movie. My rating would be an A.
This is definitely a movie you want to get hold of if you enjoy pussy whipping since there are two rounds of that. For fans of breast whipping you may be disappointed since Cynthia is spared that pain. But hey that's the nature of COP, sometimes it doesn't go badly for the player. In honesty it makes the game more interesting.
I've seen comments in the forum saying they don't like the sight of other equipment in the studio. I don't have any strong feelings on this as my eyes were fixed firmly on Cynthia but I thought it worth mentioning either way.
I really hope we get to see Cynthia return and play again. She was fantastic in this movie. Just for the love of all of us don't get the surgery, you have gorgeous boobs. Yeah I doubt my opinion will sway her actions but one must try.
All in all this is another fantastic edition of COP. And to Pedro. Sorry for being so late.
