Bondage only videos tend to be kind of boring with little story line except for a woman struggling against her bindings. A new flick "The Great American Bondage Deception" runs pretty much parr within those parameters but it delivers on one vital element, a knock down gorgeous model!

The plot involves a photo shoot for a rope company (you can see where this is heading) and its filmed as if it was a real interaction. It sort of works, sort of doesn't, but you spend the first part of the movie hoping it will deliver and the clothes will come off. Happily they do. Take my word for it, this girl is great looking.

Now if only Rick or Mr Hawke could offer her a role that really highlighted her attributes, we would have a great movie. As it stands, "The Great American Bondage Deception" is just an above average girl in ropes film. Tastes great, but not all that filling.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to being a regular poster on this site. Everybody seems to have so much to say, off topic or otherwise. All the posts are intelligent, thoughtful and informative. Again, it's a pleasure to participate.

Ralphus: You ignorant slut! Wow, my debating skills are getting good. Better stop now while I'm ahead :)

There are now three DVDs for sale that each include a double feature, and I have to admit I am very curious about these, particularly the two DVDs near the bottom. Cost is 40 bucks which doesn't seem too bad for what you might end up getting, but I have to admit I have never heard of this Silverback person and couldn't find anything about him on the net. Anybody wish to take a chance on any of these, or do I have to go it alone?

Daveyface: Welcome to the board, and thanks for adding your comments. I'm sure others here would like to hear what you have to say, and we hope you'll contribute on a regular basis. Always nice to see new faces around here.

Do you recall the name of the tape where it was just Rick and Drew together? I think I remember seeing that in a video store once years ago, but I never rented it. If I recall, it was from a label that I didn't recognize, but it did tout itself as "early Rick Masters - Drew Phonix". I've always regretted that I never checked it out.

By the way has anybody checked out www.privatebondage.com? WOW!! Hot stuff. This is right up my alley. I suspect alot of gimpers will enjoy this site.

Now that I am older and a little more free with my perversions, I just need the right guy to take me to a party! I’m thinking with my tall stature (even though I am not 6'5, I am tall) and previous descriptions of Ralphus' (evil dwarf), we would make an excellent couple at any Gimpers party.  Cymbals and all!

With the way the election results are going, I am becoming afraid that our long national nightmare is not over. As an American citizen, my apologies to the rest of the world that we have so many stupid people here.

Ralphus, you might as well close down the board now, before it is closed down for you.

Larry at VM (and Mr. Retailer, too): Thanks for the extra info about the Silverback vids. I checked out their whole inventory. The pictures are rather dull, and with so many movies on their site, I suspect they may be quickly-done cheapies. The big question for Larry: You've seen most of them; are they any good? Honestly, the newest releases look the best, and I'm guessing you haven't seen them. Are any of their titles worth getting, in your opinion?

Annie: Hmmm...sounds like you're asking me out on a date. Apparently you haven't watched Bloodsucking Freaks, so you don't know what I like to do to women. But hey, you asked for it. (evil midget laugh)

I have been thinking about expanding my video library. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to hide more than a couple of films from the spouse? It helps that DVD’s are available since they are smaller, but others must have the same problem as I do–any solutions guys?

I'm honestly not optimistic about the future of adult entertainment in the years to come, because the Conservative movement has a new wave to ride and we are all going to be affected by it. I hope the consequences won't be as dire as some have predicted, but if or when it comes, just remember that we had our chance to do something about it...and we failed. If, in the future, more and more people are prosecuted and jailed for making, buying or viewing adult material, just remember that we, as a nation, gave it the big thumbs up with our votes. And it's really hard to get our freedoms back once they are gone.

Like I say, I hope it doesn't come to this, but if it does, I don't think we have any other choice now but to adopt the philosophy of our friend Hail: "It was good while it lasted."

That also blows. Anyway, I hope and suspect that things will continue along fine. Hail

Ashcroft, an evangelical Christian, is gearing up for a 'war on pornography', with the ultimate goal of destroying America's $10bn porn industry.

Special Federal prosecutors have been appointed to prepare similar indictments against some of the major porn producers in the US. The director's trial is being seen as a test case – one which will pave the way for other porn filmmakers to be taken to court if he is found guilty.

Ashcroft is thought to have targetted Black (real name Robert Zicari) in the first instance due to the nature of his films – many of which feature politically subversive overtones.

Black, who faces up to 50 years behind bars if convicted, is desperately hoping that George W Bush will lose the election, John Ashcroft will lose his job and the case against him will collapse.

But if Bush is re-elected and Black is found guilty, his case will be just the tip of the iceberg.

Ultimately, it could be the beginning of the end for the American porn industry.

Thank god for the internet!

This per the Drudge Report (see above link): "Attorney General John Ashcroft 'plans to submit his resignation to Bush in the next several days'... "

Now what has your buddy, BBFan, been telling you about this? Ashcroft was the real crusader against porn, and he's gone now.

Here's a quote from him that's especially relevant:

"Just about everything on the Internet and almost everything in the video stores and everything in the adult bookstores is still prosecutable illegal obscenity."

This from a guy who has made it his life's mission to prosecute obscenity cases against the adult industry. He's been described as "probably the most aggressive antiporn advocate in the United States". So don't think our worries are over, not by a longshot.

Annie - If you wanted to take the time to do it, you could convert the DVDs to divx movie files on your computer. This, of course, assuming you have a DVD drive in your computer. Then if you have a DVD burner you could burn about 6-8 movies onto a single DVD. If you don't have one, you can get them fairly cheap now a days. After doing that you can go and put your retail DVDs into storage where noone but you can find them. That is about the most compact way that I can think of for you to store them in a viewable condition. The DVDs containing the movies you can then label with something inane...

For anyone else, is there a place I can find a comprehesive list of the films that Whitman/Blakemore did for HoM/Calstar? The only ones I'm personally familiar with are Curiosity Excited the Cat, The Experiment, and Tourist Trap. However, looking at some places that have a listing of HoM/Calstar films, I'm wondering which ones are actually done by Whitman/Blakemore which is where a nice list would come in handy.

Also, I recently ran across a loop by the name of "Caged." At the end of the loop a girl is tied with her legs spread and there is a very noticable cut. Prior to the cut she has torn panties still covering her privates. After the cut there are not panties and you are briefly shown a closeup with "real" cum oozing out of her cunt. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there exists an unedited version of this. Seeing the cum oozing out an knowing she had been "ravished" while tied up is incredibly hot.

SB

PS - I believe it was mentioned before, but prosecution of porn isn't a conservative only thing. The left wing also has it's activist's that would love nothing better than to shut down anything other than "couples" porn. Considering how weak willed Kerry is, and how much he panders to activists, I would not have been surprised if "our" type of porn was prosecuted if he were in office. I still find it a shame that the Democratic party didn't nominate a "real" candidate to go up against Bush. It almost makes you believe the conspiracy theories that the Clintons deliberately sabotaged the Democrats chances in order to boost Hilary's possible bid for the presidency in the next election.

Let's be respectful of others and nix the name-calling, guys.

During my last trip to the "normal" video store I decided to look at the Japanimation section and found all these anime/cartoon flicks that are certainly filled with themes that make gimpers smile.

I watched some of them (see my last post) and they are, indeed, filled with anime/cartoon gimp action. It doesn't have quite the same bang as any ZFX film or other live action like Love Object, on the other hand, I reluctantly am intriqued by seeing these gimp fantasies depicted, even in cartoon.

So the question is, do any other gimpers sometimes watch these films or have I lowered myself to the equivalent of gimping a sex doll. Next thing you know I'll start getting command hallucinations to replace all my ZFX films with Anime.

Anyway, that said, animation is able to go places that live action just cannot go without a large budget or without fear of some paranoid group thinking that a real crime is being perpetrated on someone. Things like rape/monster sex for example. And it's not uncommon to see a male or female die in the process of having sex. If the artwork and animation is good, I find it just as stimulating as a video featuring real actors. Although it still doesn't quite do it like a good old ZFX flix will.

However, one big drawback to animation films in Japan. The cost. You can get just about any porn film in Japan for around 15-50 dollars US if you shop around. Especially in Akihabara (Japan's Electric Town). On the other hand a 30 minute porn animation will easily set you back 50-90 dollars US.

A couple years back I got the entire Inma Seiden series in Japan for about 60-70 US a pop. Approx 30 mins per DVD and there were 6 in the set. You can get the same thing in the US now for well under half to one third of that. In Japan, the series is still the same price. :P I think I'll wait for the anime to come to the US before buying them from now on. Although it is temping to get the Mahou Shoujo AI series since it might be years before it shows up in the states considering it's only on the 3rd DVD and there appear to be more coming out.

SB

However, I did reluctantly buy something called Imma Youjo Vol. 4, because I heard it had a couple stakeburning scenes in it, and I'm a collector. But I was surprised how explicit the rest of the movie was, with some really brutal torture and rape scenes (and surprisingly, not censored, either, considering these are Japanese). One particular scene had a woman suspended upside down with her legs spread wide open, and the male villain roughly molests her with his hand, then makes her suck his cock, cumming all over her face. Then he tortures her with a hot branding iron. Even for a cartoon, I thought this was some damn hot stuff. I was really surprised how much I liked it. But then again, the Japanese always push the envelope in their movies and their bondage artworks, too, so I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised.

I guess the question is what else is out there, anime-wise, that reaches that high level? Any particular titles that are GIMP-worthy? And who else among us regularly peruses anime? Comments?

By the way Gangstarr 2 and Taxi Girls are both brilliant- thanks for the GIMPers who recommend them somewhere in this site. In Taxi Girls, that GIMP scene is not omitted and it's a really great r*p* scene.

Japanimation? Well somehow it never turns me on, while ero-manga (porn comics) do.

That said, I can't think of any videos containing stake burning scenes off-hand though I've run across them. Generally in more of an adventure/fantasy setting. However, if you are looking for general overall good wickedness and you want to avoid the monster sex side of things I can highly recommend M.E.M., Bible Black, ...gah my mind just went blank on me for some others. I think the american titles for a good series is Night Shift Nurses. Hopefully my memory isn't failing me on that. These are all series with exception animation and chock full of bondage rape. Beware however that the Japanese also love scat and aren't shy about including it in quite a bit of their work.

Those aren't by any means even a fraction of the goodness you can find if you don't mind animated scenes.

And to answer a question you didn't really ask. You will find many of the animation videos that receive an official US release to not be censored as they don't have to censor it for the American market. If you purchase the Japanese version however (For example like I did with Inma Seiden), they will still have the pubic area censored.

One little strange side note to all this. Evidently the anus doesn't have to be censored. Also, animal privates don't have to be censored. Which leads to a little popular sub-culture of uncensored videos in Japan. I'll leave it for your imagination to fill in the blanks. :P

SB

PS - Any word from Rick if he's managed to do any work on a new video? Or is he still swamped converting his back catalogue to DVD?

I, too, would like to get off the political stuff, but let me point out one other way in which this stuff has hit close to home (besides Rick releasing fewer films, and the mainstreamers slowing their move to more extreme material). My local video store almost never stocks new bdsm material. They used to have loads of it, but they sold the old stuff and aren't getting any new. I finally asked the proprietor recently, "Why?" He said, "Are you kidding me? With that crowd in the White House? I'm not going to jail."

I can't imagine that dynamic isn't playing itself out elsewhere across this fair land of ours.

zee-ef-ex

Zee ef ex: I, too, have noticed this trend. Within 10 miles of where I live there is one adult book/video store that has closed and two others that have completely removed all bondage and bdsm materials including, off course, all the ZFX movies -- which there used to be plenty.

It is too bad about all of the adult stores going out of business. Before Rep. Mayor Riordon of L.A. got into office, Little Tokyo of L.A. carried just about every bdsm video that came out of Japan. Got them as soon as they were released. Roirdon sent 35 uniformed policeman raiding Little Tokyo video stores. Can you imagine how much tax payers money that wasted? Scared the hell out of the Japanese and affected every adult store in L.A.

Bush found time to invade Iraq, which makes about as much sense as attacking porn, so I don't feel we are safe just because he has a war on terror to wage. All we can do is just hope for the best I guess.

Not typical fair for "usefulidiot", btw, but it's a good site for lots of random free naked chicks, most *at least* semi-pro quality (ala ALS or Karups, if you know of them).

Just a thought.

Hi !

I am a big fan of the zfx video series and I saw my first one yesterday. I saw "As darkness falls" with Lisa Kinkaid and Brigitte Bayonne, and I think this is the best film I have ever seen then it becomes to great bondage. I will now absolutly begin to buy more zfx films.

I got one more fetish besides bondage and that is why I posting this question. I got a special fetish for wristwatches. And especially bondage and wristwatches. In the "As darkness falls" Lisa Kinkaid is wearing a steel wristwatch during the film. I have tried to figure out which other films Lisa Kinkaid is wearing this wristwatch as well. But it is very hard to see this just to watch the boxcovers of the different films.

My hope for this post is that anyone that has seen some zfx film with Lisa Kinkaid can give me a tip for more films with Lisa where she is wearing this wristwatch as well!

So can anyone please tell me which of the Lisa Kinkaid films Lisa also is wearing this steel wristwatch ???

As a favour if you could help me with a list of films regarding Lisa Kinkaid wearing her wristwatch, I would be more than glad to give you a free membership of my site (http://www.firsttimetied.com). I am running the site and is a big bondage fan, and my photos represents my taste in bondage.

If someone has seen another bondage film except zfx, there some girl is wearing a wristwatch I will be glad to hear about that film as well!

My regards
Luftburen

I know one of the top fetishes is for feet, a fetish that really makes no sense for me, but some people have a huge foot fetish. I chat online with a guy who loves...absolutely loves...girls wearing socks. He's even spent thousands of dollars ordering bondage customs with specific instructions that the producers have the model wear white gym socks through the movie.

As for wristwatches, I've seen every ZFX release ever made, and not only can't I think of any wristwatch scenes, I don't think I've ever even noticed whether Lisa Kinkaid was wearing one, or if I did, I never made note of it. It simply had no effect on me one way or the other.

On the other hand, I have a smoking fetish, and I could tell you, without even pausing to think about it, which ZFX films that Lisa smoked in. It's another one of those fetishes that seems strange to those who don't "get it", but others notice right away. It's important to them.

I recall making a comment in my review about ZFX's High Strung that Lisa's scenes were tarnished because she had her hair in pigtails and wore eyeglasses throughout all her segments. For the life of me, I just couldn't understand why Rick would have her wearing glasses, but then a few readers posted here afterward and said they liked the glasses. Go figure.

I know some people like the singer Lisa Loeb, and consider one of her best attributes to be those old fashioned horn-rimmed glasses that she wears. And I have to admit, I think that adds to her "girl next door" sexiness, too. What is interesting to me is that in the one recent film where she got tied up and gagged, the director had her wearing her glasses all though her bondage scene, too. So maybe that was Rick's intention. He was catering the eyeglasses fetish people in High Strung. And to the pigtail fetish fans, too.

Myself, I'm a fan of chicks with long hair (but no pigtails for me, thank you), big tits, and clothing and accessories probably make no difference to me, but I know others have specific things that they prefer, like jeans, shorts, sweaters, Hooters uniforms, cheerleader outfits, or the Catholic schoolgirl look (there's a biggie for some people). I do like it, however, when her clothing is only partially removed during her scenes, as opposed to complete nakedness. That was one of the cool things about the victims in the most recent South of the Border films and in Bitter Sweet Persuasion. Rick never completely stripped them, just exposed their naughty parts so they could be used and exploited.

A question for the board: Do you have any specific fetishes, or preferences, that make or improve a scene for you? In other words, how would your ideal fantasy victim be dressed, and what attributes are important to you, individually?

As I've stated in here before, for the most part I usually prefer "well made" art or animation to the real thing because it can go places and do things that you can't and shouldn't with real models. It also avoids the sometimes cheese factor that comes into play when a real model is either a horrible actress or is half smiling throughout the shoot because she finds it all a bit amusing. In either comics or anime, what ever tone the artist wants to get across can be hammered home with the only encumbrance being the artists imagination and skill, and not what some model who's having a bad day is and isn't willing to do the day of the shoot.

Of course I'm not denigrating "well made" real movies either. When you do get a hot model who's willing to play along with someone creative like Rick, or the various Japan Rape films found at VM, the results can be mind numbingly fabulous, it's just that while both camps can be hit or miss, you're more often than not going to get your moneys worth from art, and you're really cheating yourself out of some INCREDIBLY erotic entertainment if you don't allow yourself to explore both.

HOWIE

Likes: Pigtails; pony tails; long hair generally; small tits; nipple rings; lean, tall, athletic, lanky bodies; arms tied stretched overhead, or, tied fully spread-eagled on back, or, tied face down ass up; comprehensive bondage (eg tied spread-eagled to an X-frame with not only wrists and ankles tied but also neck tied so she can't move her body forward and thighs tied apart so she can't close her legs; SEX and bondage, of all kinds, the kinkier the better; colorful clothing; colorful gags; colorful duct tape, etc; shaved; girls wearing girly socks, fine, but girls wearing men's gym socks? NO WAY; I don't like any male clothing on a girl, hate when they wear boxer shorts and shit like that; like both naked and partially clothed - my favorite partially clothed is fully nude except for a pair of panties on; like colorful clothes, like the fetishy outfits the non-nude girls wear on websites like shelikethat.com; penis gags; ball gags; natural settings (e.g. bedrooms); clean women; young (18 to 30) rather than older; quiet scenes; psychological bondage; brightly lit scenes; multiple villains; tentacles/sci-fi;

Dislikes: Big tits; most tatoos; curvy or heavy women; short hair (usually; on a few, rare women it looks right); cleave gags; bridle gags; dirty, muddied women; unnatural settings (phony looking dungeons; dirty basements); glasses; smoking; wristwatches (hah hah); screaming; prefer coercion, blackmail type scenarios to outright rape scenarios; anything smacking of real violence (real disfigurement; blood; punching; hanging; cutting);

I dunno, I could probably think of more, but tired today.

Anyone But My Husband, from Alpha Blue Archives - man, these golden age films really have aged badly. Someone posted here before about Marilyn Chambers in Behind the Green Door, which I agree has aged a little, but still has SOME charm, including Ms Chambers' beauty, her great sex scene with Johnny Keyes, and the "she comes in colors" scene that the Rolling Stones sang about.

I recently saw an uncut DVD of "Anyone But My Husband" with CJ Laing. Ugh. For one, she is not attractive enough for me. It is SO nice that better looking girls nowadays have gotten into porn. Also, I didn't really think about it before now, but I MUCH prefer the brightly lit, video flix of today versus the dimmer filmed on film flix of yesteryear. Finally, the one bondage and whipping scene, she's screaming (yuk), it's poorly edited and poorly filmed (dont you hate it when say the villain is tieing the victim's wrist and the edge of the picture cuts off before the wrist so all you see is the forearm, until EVENTUALLY the stoned filmer thinks to lift the camera another inch or two? You want to just scream, "MOVE THE CAMERA UP TWO INCHES, YOU FREAKING IDIOT!")

So, that's Anyone But My Husband - a waste of money on DVD.

On the good side of things, I like the Gag Factor series of films. They often have some dominant or fetishy elements. One of the early ones, for example (I think maybe GF6?) had a girl bound and gagged in a bedroom. A guy came in and untied her and took out the gag (unfortunately, but that's conservative porn crackdown results for ya) and she says, "Oh thank God, some guy tied me up and said he was going to rape my mouth" and just as she is saying this and thanking her rescuer, he shoves his cock in her mouth and does just that.

Another early one, I remember the girl (really pretty) is lying on her back with her head leaning back over the back of a seat of a chair and her arms are wound through the chair arms, while she is being Gag Factored. She wasn't tied up, but she gave the image of being tied up while her throat was pounded - she kept her arms spread out of the way like they were tied there.

A lot of the girls in these flix are like that - I really, really like it when they keep their hands away and just take it in the mouth like a real trouper. I always think, it's not a freaking handjob, dammit, it's a blowjob, so keep your hands out of it. Some girls are better than others with the gag reflex and can keep their hands away, so then you can watch their mouths get reamed and imagine they are in bondage. If hands enter the scene, it ruins the illusion of submission, if not bondage, for me. Sometimes the girl desperately puts her hand there - she's choking or whatever, and she's trying to momentarily push the guy's leg to move him out of her throat for a second. That's o-kay, but not preferable. But I really, really hate it when the girl grabs the dick and starts sucking the cock - the whole appeal of a Gag Factor scene is that it is the GUY who is controlling the action, not the girl, so when the girl takes over the movement, it just ruins it.

So, some GF scenes are better than others, some more dominant than others, and some girls in those flix prettier than others. Like a lot of mainstream porn series, it seems like in the earlier movies more of the girls were really pretty, but as time goes on they use a greater number of less attractive girls. One series which comes to mind that way is the Unnatural Sex series. The early flix were GREAT cuz most of the girls were cute and the action was extreme. Later versions in the series, the girls weren't as hot.

Anyway, GF has been like that, too. I recently rented GF14 on DVD. I can't even remember what most of the girls looked like or how their scenes were. I hazily remember thinking it was a typical GF movie - some girls were cute, some were not. Some girls were better capable of taking a dick repeatedly down their throats with no hand interference - some were less capable. But I got the movie for Taylor Rain's appearance, and I was not disappointed.

Yes, TAYLOR RAIN! Yes, in a Gag Factor movie! Her scene (as it usually is) was worth the price of admission. I have seen a lot of her movies, and I can only remember one where I thought it was a little boring. Almost always, her scenes are hot. She's gorgeous, and she goes for hard, hard sex, with lots of anal and deep throating and A2M and kink. All I can say is, her GF14 scene did not disappoint. I really liked when she was being held in the air upside down and sucking on the guy's cock. The scene was a tiny little bit milder than the usual GF scene, but that was well compensated by her beauty, and frankly, it was hot enough. If you like Taylor Rain, you will love that scene.

It's a great question -- the fetish within the overall fetish (bondage/DID) -- is that considered a subfetish?

I'd like to think about this one a little longer -- this is what came immediately to mind.

FYI, I got this email:

Dear customer!

The shop www.buyeuroporn.com has come into the hands to the swindler. Convincingly I ask you to place warning information at forums accessible to you that other buyers have not got in this trap.

Do not buy DVD and do not send the contact and financial information which can be used by swindlers in criminal interests.

Try to remove your information from base on a site if not over yet.

Probably this email to swindlers can grasp, and they can dispatch you the information.

Best regards,
BuyEuroPorn mailto:info@buyeuroporn.com

I think this basically means that the site has been compromised.

Alex - I had never heard that rumor, but it is a really intriguing rumor - where did you hear it? It looks like you already have a link to Red's Realm - that would be my first source at trying to verify such a rumor.

Damien has left the building.

The above words are what he wanted announced when he crossed into his "final frontier", and he also requested that we not make a big fuss. I prefer to remember him with a smile as being one of our most colorful and enthusiastic members, the one who seemingly was always impatient at Rick for not churning out his videos fast enough, as well as the man who accomplished the legendary feat of watching ZFX videos for 13 hours in a row :)

There's a bunch of his reviews in the Reviews by GIMP Readers section, too (URL above). He was a good online friend, and a cool guy who loved Lisa Kinkaid so much that his e-mail address was "Kinkaidfan". He was with us here at the GIMP almost from the very beginning, and we last heard from him when he posted in early January of this year, fittingly about...Lisa Kinkaid.

We'll miss you, buddy.

I was surfing and found this website that looks like it's devoted to Gary Roberts artwork. I'm not sure if it's officially licensed to him but it sounds like all his work is in here. Anybody have any experience with it? Think its worth subscribing? Roberts is about the best BD/SM artist out there for my money.

I hope that Damien finds himself in a place of Gimpdom, where there is never an undue wait for getting to watch whoever and whatever he's looking for.

This is something I'm sure a lot of us have been wondering about since the disappointing election returns, because we recall that you publicly stated on this forum about what might happen if Bush was elected to another term. You speculated then that ZFX might end up fading away, but now with the official news that Ashcroft has indeed resigned, what do you foresee as the future of ZFX? Is it possible this new guy might be any better?

I know you want to lay low and probably can't say very much, but I'm sure we're all eager to hear your comments.

Ralphus:  This may seem dense to you and to many others out there, but when you say Damien has left the building, do you mean that the actual human being (as opposed to the internet persona) has passed away?  In either case, hail and farewell.

Yeah its official Ashcroft is gone, hopefully the guy replacing him, Gonzalez, will be more rational but I dont hold out any false hope that things will necessarily get better. The DOJ is still been stacked with Bruce Taylor types and it remains to be seen if the agenda will change. Lets hope that it does.

The future of ZFX is unknown and unchanged. ZFX will probably continue on like this till all the titles are on DVD, releasing one or 2 movies a year. Im working on Internet stuff as well. I do plan to shoot some new shows this winter. A new show is due out in late January or early February. Probably will be entitled @#&@^#*# (aka the apartment). The title is not 100% set yet=P.

Regards,

Rick

I tried typing in "bring out the gimp" and there are too many choices, a lot of them involving Pulp Fiction, plus apparently "gimp" is some sort of software tool, too.

However, is you type in "bring out the gimp" and "zfx", it comes right up at the bottom of the first page.

Then just for fun, I typed in "bring out the gimp" and "ralphus", and both links will take you directly here. You just have to narrow down your search.

I was surprised to see that we're either mentioned or part of the links section of a few websites that I've never even heard of, too. Pretty cool.

Fred: Thanks again for the URL for Roberts' site. I had forgotten the website address. He states on his site that his artwork is available all over the web, but this is the only place to get a COMPLETE collection of his comics. His stuff is definitely worth a purchase, so probably best to get it directly from his own official site.

Rick: Thanks for the info. I agree, I'm not relaxing now that Ashcroft is gone, either. I would have felt a lot more secure if Kerry had won, since Bush still has an agenda on going after porn. We just have to try to hang on another four years, I suppose.

You mentioned putting the rest of your inventory on DVD. How many more DVDs still have to be done?  I'm often curious as to the process of restoring a tape to DVD...It can't be merely burning it from the tape master, right?  Because if that were the case, it wouldn't be taking years like it is now.  In a nutshell, what process is involved? 

Looks like my question about fetishes got kinda buried, but it's worth asking again, so let's see if we can get the board talking again. Do you have any specific fetishes, or preferences, that make or improve a scene for you? In other words, how would your ideal fantasy victim be dressed, and what attributes are important to you, individually? Zee-ef-ex came up with a great list on November 7; read his post again for some ideas. I'm sure we all have our preferences. Let's hear what people have to say.

Well, maybe the sequel can have that?

Fetishes: I love white underwear being ripped or cut off - very strict bondage with breasts and pussy exposed, spreadeagle, frogties, something like that. Cleave gags (white of course), quick takedown scenes, fondling. Like zee-ef-ex I like natural settings, which adds realism to the scene.

Dislikes: Tatoos, Piercings, all sorts of body manipulation, Tied tits, crotch ropes, weak bondage, on-screen tying if the villain is a clumsy chunk who needs five minutes to render a girl helpless. Dirt, mud, everything distracting from the girls beauty.

Peace, Jaeckill

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good sites to download (or even stream) DID movies. I am a huge fan of the ZFX titles and have also found some stuff I like at Bindher.com and other sites, but it seems like every time I find something I'd like to purchase, it only comes in VHS or DVD. It is much easier for me to deal with digital copies. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

I am also a big fan of panty gags or forced stripping scenarios. Again, any suggestions on where to find these would be great!

Thank you very much!

Just my opinion, but one the most beautiful images I can think of is a girl with her big tits tightly trussed up. Of course, I'm a breast man anyway, so it's a natural to me. To me, breasts are about the most feminine of all the attributes of girls, so why not tie them up? I love to see the swelling of the breasts as they are bound and begin to discolor, and the skin becomes tighter and more sensitive. Perhaps some may dislike breast bondage because it makes them look abnormal, but it's a definite turn-on for me.

Let's add another mini-poll to go along with the likes/dislikes/fetishes one. Breast bondage, yay or nay? With my vote in favor, it is now 2-1 against.

Hmmm...wonder which way BBFan will vote?

The talk about weak bondage brings up another of my pet peeves...cleave gags. I know some people love 'em (especially the guys who post at Brian's Page), but to me, they are fake gags, ceremonial at best. The only time they come close to working is when the cleave is very thick, preferably with a knot tied in it to fill the mouth, but even then they don't really silence her, which is the whole reason to gag her in the first place. If you were a rapist stalking his prey, you sure as hell wouldn't trust a thin piece of cloth stuck between her teeth to keep her quiet once you grabbed her. She can talk (or scream for help) right through it, and that's not acceptable if you're going for realism.

Mike B: Thanks for posting. We love it when lurkers finally come out. Were you talking full-length movies? You could become a member at Forbidden Video, where you can download all their movies as mpegs if you like. I'm a member there, but I dislike watching movies in that format, preferring something large I can watch on my TV at home.

Ralphus Yeah, it's a mystery how I will vote, isn't it? OK, here's my list of pet pervs than get me going:

breast bondage / tit torture (duh!) tight as possible - purple is a beautiful color!

crotch ropes (pulling the victim on her toes)

belly ropes / rope belts (squeezing tight on the belly to make the skin bulge over the ropes... hell - ALL ropes should be tight enough to make the skin bulge)

Pussy-stuffing - inflatable dildoes are my fav

nipple nooses - pulling them away from the chest

forced orgasms

forced cunnilingus

F/f play (just like it to be all pussy, lol)

exposed pussy vulnerable to the whims of the tormentor

plausible storyline and setting

I guess that does it - I'm just a twisted perv, what can I say?

http://www.hardcoreabductions.com/vids.htm

I have only ordered once from the hardcoreabductions site, but the service was excellent and the videos arrived in a couple of days. The price appears to be the same there as at Forbidden.

I've never seen it, but the trailer looks great. If Rick should ever read this posting, that's the one I'm waiting for.

Also, as mentioned before in an earlier post, really like naive victim totally confused scared by and verbally (if able) or physically protesting a variety of unfamiliar bondage type items (e.g. ball, penis or ring gags, nipple clamps) with abductor slowly explaining what he (or she) plans to do with the items --"What the hell is that ... you're going to do what -- or just a lot of good old fashioned MMMPPPHH ing through a mouth filling gag with terror filled eyes.

That said, I do like breast and nipple play (on smaller breasts). Nipple rings, nipple clamps, clothespins, it's all good. Crotchropes? Sometimes.

Okay, here's another weird fetish for you guys. I like mainstream still pics where the woman is in a submissive position (like, on her knees, wearing some skimpy outfit, her back arched, butt up in the air, face near the ground). Oftentimes, I prefer if her face is turned AWAY when she's in that or some similarly submissive position. Anyone else agree?

Here's why - if I see her in that position, then I've got this whole mental framework going, this whole idea in my mind of her submission. But many of the facial expressions on girls posing for photographs like that don't match my mental image. If they're smiling or looking off across the room distractedly or whatever, then it's a reminder that they're just posing for some photographer, and not really FEELING the submission. So if her head is turned away, then I can just imagine the perfect expression on her face, which otherwise is so rarely captured by the photographer.

How's that for a fetish?

I'm posting this in a couple other forums to see if there is a difference based on the audience.

In a blatant plug, I've now got photos up at my token site of the gorgeous Jenni Lee being bound, gagged, stripped of her dress, and sexually molested. As much as I don't see a resemblance between Jenni Lee and Britney Spears, I've seen more than one person make that observation. I'll send one to Ralphus as an enticement.

A couple comments on posts from earlier this month. Gary Roberts www.roberts-comics.com also has an another site: www.darkstarprods.com Probably a replay, although subscription fee is lower at $15/month.

For GIMP fans like me, who want to be discreet, I recently tried an anonymous credit card issuer, with mixed success. Website is nonamecard.com. Card worked on bdsmartwork.com, darkstarprods.com, tnavbondage.com, but CCbill won't take it, which knocks out a lot of sites. Roberts fans might also like ferresart.com. Surprised not to see the site mentioned here.

For yahoo searches, try putting a plus sign "+" in front of your keywords. I use +Dreambook +GIMP +Ralphus to get to this site - works every time.

I'm interested in trying paingate.com but nonamecard doesn't work. Anyone have an opinion.

As for breast bondage, I vote nay. I like the way breasts look, untied.

I can tell you that for me personally, horror movies are what I seek out when I'm hoping to find some bondage, since they seem to have the highest percentage of payoff as opposed to other genres. If I like a particular actress, I'm always hoping that her next movie will be a horror film because then there will be a better chance that she may get tied up, or at the very least, be put in some sort of dangerous situation where something bad might happen to her. I was thrilled when Eliza Dushku finally got cast in a horror film and then got the treatment in Wrong Turn (very good scene), although the filmmakers blew it by casting the luscious Jessica Biel in the lead role of the most recent remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and then NOT tying her up...what were they thinking? When I heard that, I was so disgusted I didn't even bother to check that one out.

If you think about it, horror films are rife with possibilities where the female heroine is going to be put in harm's way in one way or another. Go all the way back to King Kong, for example, where Fay Wray is chained between two posts as a sacrifice to a giant gorilla, or House of Wax, where Phyllis Kirk is strapped down naked while bubbling wax heats up and is about to poured on her (Come to think of it, Fay Wray played that same role in the original version of this movie, although I never saw that one.) If you look at it, the whole damsel in distress theme probably originated in horror films to begin with.

Most of my favorite mainstream bondage scenes that I've collected have come from horror movies, culminating with this year's Love Object, which is my favorite film in any genre this year. As a personal preference, I prefer dramas to horror films, but Love Object made me feel empathy for the leading lady's plight but then also had me cheering for the psycho boyfriend after he captures her, ties her up and tortures her in the final third of the movie. I also appreciated that the twist ending went against the typical result we expect from the damsel in distress theme. I've never liked it when the hero arrives at the last minute to rescue the damsel tied to the train tracks moments before the train arrives. I'm always rooting for the bad guy with the handlebar mustache to carry out his dastardly deed. You know it won't happen, but you accept it as part of the genre. This one pleasantly surprised me.

Let's get some other opinions about this subject from some of the other readers. Do you like good horror films as much as good bondage films?

BTW, RR, blatant plugs from you are always welcomed on this board, since the content of your excellent photosets is very much of interest to our guests here. Love that thumbnail pic of Lorelei being menaced by a spider...great stuff.

After seeing that lousy "Anyone But My Husband" DVD recently, it really made me appreciate what an artist Rick is, how longer lasting I think his flix will be.

The discussion earlier about Squealer was interesting, because I was just listening to some old AC/DC music and that sing was on. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" is also on that album. Like Squealer, wasn't that also the title of one of Rick's flix? Are there any others of his titles which come from music?

Are there any songs you'd like to see Rick use in a flik, either simply as a title, or thematically? My vote goes for "Back in Black". I can think of all kinds of scenarios for that one:

* black chick is abducted, tied up, repeatedly penetrated, or

* white chick is abducted/raped by black guys, or

* the dungeon/fetish clothes/leather the chick is repeatedly placed in is all black and dark and scary - can't you just hear her saying, about the black dungeon, "No, please, don't put me down there again"

* or there is an asphyxiation theme, where she keeps blacking out

The possibilities are endless.

Any musical themes run together in any of your heads with bondage?

zee-ef-ex

Of course, don't forget he also has "South of the Border", a la Sinatra ;)

As for the horror/bondage connection - I prefer horror films with a sense of humor, much as I prefer bondage movies with a sense of humor (which Rick and a few others have, but unfortunately so many don't). I enjoy thinking of ZFX movies as being horror movies which are made for a specific market, rather than being porn movies - the actual difference between low budget horror and ZFX is not necessarily that major.

I often wonder whether Rick might not be able to move into horror movies if porn comes under threat, without changing the spirit of his movies too much, even if he might have to move the focus away from some of what is appreciated by most people here. Which brings to mind a sort of poll - would you enjoy a movie made by someone of Rick's refined tastes, but which fitted more into the 'Bloodsucking Freaks' / 'Cut' / 'Last House on the Left' category?

Ralphus: You are right, cleave gags don´t do it for me, I used the wrong vocabulary. I meant cloth gags, where the mouth is stuffed with a cloth and a second one is tied around her head to hold the first one in place.

Horror and bondage/porn/forced sex: To me these are completely different things, although there are movies mixing both elements. When watching some mainstream horror flicks I always had the feeling that the producer was mainly interested in the forced sex theme and used horror as an "excuse". Humanoids from the deep or The Howling are such examples although the latter one was very good as a plain horror movie as well. Why do the victims in most horror movies have to be near nude females? Because we want to see them helplessly struggling in distress. As soon as the monster/villain/freak begins to eat/stab/kill her my interest in the sexual aspect of the movie is gone.

If you ask me producers like Rick should focus more on the (forced) sexual than on the horror aspect of their work. Of course this would put them even more into the focus of your current gouvernment.

Zee-ef-ex, thanks for the link to the LunaCrush site. Allthough its nonnude it looks interesting enough for me to think of checking the members content.

Peace, Jaeckill

I like tit ties, but they have to be done right and on the right set of tits. This photo and the one yesterday are IMHO not attractive. Too tight, and bulging veins to me is gross.

The Scion

You can count this as another vote in favor of breast bondage. While I admit that the appearance of distorted tits is not always esthetically pleasing, the fact that they are purple and swollen is proof positive that the girl is suffering, and that's good enough for me.

Dave Darke

Wild Bill

And then there was the era of Victoria Vixxen, who's fondly remembered by ZFX fans for her big natural melons, and Rick made sure they were either tied, clamped, squeezed or generally abused in seemingly every role. Give him credit, he knew how to make the most out of her best feature(s), and I'll bet her tits were hurting by the time he got through filming her. For which we all should be grateful. I know I am.

Latest calculations of the breast bondage poll: It's 8-6 in favor of tying up tits, still too close to call. Every one of you pervs should be voting, and I know more than 14 of us read this board. Lurkers, step up and be heard!

g in o I have drifters on DVD, I know that sceen well. Nipple bulge is what I really like to see and Lisa Kinkads tits are the ultimate.

Another great tit tie is Kelly Mckay in Underland 2. Her tits are tied up and the nips just get so huge. Then some dude starts to just maul them and her mascara smeared eyes and the sounds are just perfection.Then the clothes pins go on those engorged nips and on her pussy too. Good stuff!

Scion

Another thing, fake penetrations are getting somewhat "stale", Real sex would really help!! I see other film companies have no problems using real male genitals and real male ejaculate.
Regards

Just signing on today to vote in this week's poll. I can't stand breast bondage. Call me crazy, I'm just not into that at all.

I think it's great how many sub-sets we have here in our little pervert hideaway, though.

Seeya!

My love of breast bondage is based on many things, but two primary reasons:
1. Breasts are for many women the very essence of their womanhood, what identifies them as a woman. Thus putting breasts into tight bondage and torture is for me to control that woman.
2. On a more practical note, I just love the look of a full, round, taut breast. Held up high, and displayed for torture.

Of course to each his own! Ralphus, thanks for the great forum to express all our varied, yet similarly kinky viewpoints. To all of you who share my passion for BB, please feel free to say hello on yahoo. BBfan and I are always looking for fellow pervs to join us in our quest for the ultimate BB custom movie.
Best, BB

I would welcome some comments from other contributors in regard to music used in ZFX films (I'm a musician and all things 'musical' interest me) or in "specialised" adult films for that matter....for the sake or generating a fresher debate on the forum since these "tied tits" thing has been "streched" to breaking point.

Other recommeded ZFX soundtracks for your 'painful' listening pleasure: Incubus, The toolbox abductions. Regards to all.

But what do I know, I hate gags too.

AssMan: You hate gags??? Okay, it's too late to get me started on that one, otherwise I could list the hundred reasons why all women should be gagged.

As far as being a leg man as opposed to a breast man, all I can do is quote Jerry Seinfeld:

"What do I need legs for? I have legs!"

I just love reading this forum. Hopefully I can get myself to post more often.

High Strung. Holy Shit! What a good movie! I don't even know what to say. If someone said Hail, "make a movie you always wanted to see" the first half of this movie would pretty much be it.

First the setting: A construction/demolition site? What the fuck was that supposed to be anyway? Anyway it was a great setting. I even forgave the pitiful acting of the worker with the shovel. (picture a man in a cement basement wearing a hardhat and tapping on the walls with an alluminum shovel- very sad. At least rent a jackhammer from HomeDepot for $50 or something!) in a basement.

Anyway, whatever. The female is awesome. Seeing her struggle in the beginning and then seeing her big fat tits in her white bra was enough for me. I didn't need to see anymore. I can jerk off to that for the next week alone. And believe me the struggle was great. I wish my hands were that guys hands!

Although I'm not a fan of the "tie her up and beat her" theme in the next segment her body made everything enjoyable even though it looks like they are hitting her with the stuff I wrap around my pipes to keep them warm. Then the 2 guys rape her while she's on her hands and knees. Then they shock her and leave her for dead. I loved it!

Then it loses me. It goes to a hospital for some Nurse bondage. Though it's enjoyable and pretty wild (the farting forced enema was cool) I need to see her getting it like the other girl to get me off.

Overall: Outstanding!

When it came out a few years back, the general consensus of the board (myself included) was that the first half of the movie, featuring huge-chested Brandi Dukes, was much better than the second half with Lisa Kinkaid. This was the movie I mentioned a couple weeks ago when we were talking about fetishes, when I was lamenting that Lisa wore eyeglasses throughout all her scenes. Anyway, I think everyone here tripped over how hot Brandi was, and how big her jugs were, and how she played the victim role perfectly. Once she left, the rest of the movie was a letdown. I based my "B" grade for the movie on the first half (A) countered against the Lisa segment (C). I know others felt the same way.

I'm glad you enjoyed watching Brandi suffer, because I strongly suspect she's another of Rick's "one-timers". If you wanna read my review, I linked it in my Homepage URL.

I'm still trying to find my Fair Warning tape. It's buried in a box in the cellar somewhere, I hope. How about you throw me some caps as a bone to make me find it? Preferably the 3 guys wearing masks raping the blonde in the field! :o)

Brianp1701, I don't think you're going to get much help here looking for bootleg vids if that's what you're asking. The Owner of ZFX reads and posts here!

While looking for her I did find a lot of websites selling ZFX vids though. I thought Rick was saying that he couldn't sell his vids anymore?

This site: http://tinyurl.com/3n5sb seems to have them all. Maybe I'm missing something?

I haven't been able to confirm if there is an old Judas Priest song titled The Best of ZFX Volume #1.

Joe X.

Re: Breast Bondage. For me, it depends. I don't like the very purple tits thing really. But I didn't mind seeing Renee Baker, Anne Bruno, Sharon Montgomery, and some other no-name HOM models enduring it in various loops, video and photos. I much prefer hand's groping and squeezing breasts. Clothpin's are good in a pinch too, among other things.

Song titles and lyrics becoming ZFX vids. Looking forward to 'Mercedes Bends."

You might have misinterpreted what Rick said about selling his own vids. There are, as you mentioned, lots of sites that carry ZFX, but Rick, the man who made them, is prohibited from selling them on his own site. Fortunately, others still can, and I'm sure RM gets a cut, but probably not as big a percentage as he would get if he were able to sell them directly.

Scribbler is correct in that most of the ZFX girls have appeared pretty much exclusively for Rick. One exception would be Sierra Stuart, one of his earliest (and cutest) performers, who appeared in at least one bondage movie for a different company, and used a fake name. I rented it and if I recall, the first half was entirely bondage and the second half she was sucking some guy's dick, with no ropes in sight.

Kerri Downs teamed up with her boyfriend/master Nick Long to make their own series of bondage films, most of them not very good, IMO. I haven't heard much from them for a few years now.

Also Chandra Sweet did some straight hardcore before becoming one of Rick's most popular performers afterward. She also had previously appeared in a couple of bondage films with Scarry Video (now defunct), although one was significant because it starred famed artist Gary Roberts as the villain who puts her through the paces. Back when Gary used to be a regular here, he talked about that movie and working with Chandra. Good stuff; if any of you are interested, check out his comments in a series of posts starting in early December 2000 (linked above)

Anyway, my vote is one in favor of the breast squeezing. I would say I enjoy seeing it, although it's not among my top priorities when I rent or purchase a film.

Also, by way of a mini-review, I obtained a DVD copy of Disciplz of Pain on Friday, which I think is a relatively new DVD release of a video from the mid-90s.

It's not one I would recommend. The movie is about one woman -- Diedra Carrera -- being tortured by two others, Chandra Sweet and Melisa Pope. She goes through some of the normal paces, being bound and lightly flogged, etc., but I found the movie uninspired. It certainly isn't in the same league as the South of the Border movies, or some of the other zfx greats.

I wish we could have seen more movies with Deidre Carrera, a pretty hot Hispanic actress who was the victim in this one. She made only a couple of appearances, but this is the only one I would recommend (the other was the mostly forgettable Innocent Exile). Like most ZFX flicks, this one had a few scenes that made it worthwhile, particularly when Chandra crams a nightstick up Deidra's pussy, and the finale where Deidra's spreadeagled on the table and the bad girls wire her up for electroshock and leave her there squirming. That scene alone would make me recommend it. I'm glad Rick released this one on DVD.

I still wouldn't recommend it, but I guess every person will have to decide for himself.

Any of you gimps know where I can find a good list of mainstream movies with rape scenes? There are a few lists on the internet but the ones that I have found were all compiled pre 1999. If you can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Here's a question: gag preferences?

Mine, in order of preference (the most preferred at the top) is:

Cum gag (Do you know what this is? I saw it on a website once. A few guys come in this chick's mouth and she is intructed to hold it there and not swallow or spill it, while she is tied up and stuff is done to her. Incredibly sexy).

Penis gag

Ball gag (the more colorful, the better)

Round, soft ring gag

Tape gag (colorful is better; cloth in the mouth first is better)

Bit gag (rubber or metal)

No gag

Cleave gag

Mouth separator gag (I don't really know what this is called, but it is kind of like a ring gag, except there is some type of large metal spring device holding her mouth open, with the metal pieces resting on her cheeks. I'm sure some of you must have seen this on the 'Net before. I'll post a link to a photo if I find one. Anyway, I hate it, I don't like how it looks).

Did I miss any? I see a pattern in mine - I prefer gags which are more sexual (cum, penis, ball) and more sensual (softer, rubberier, colorful).

How about you?

zee-ef-ex

As for gags, all gags, women have too much freedom today, they deserve to be bound gagged and tortured.

and thats that

That mention of a cum gag is a new one for me. You're right, sounds pretty sexy, and demeaning, too.

My favorite gag would have to be tape, and to do it right, you have to fill her mouth, preferably overstuff her mouth, with some sort of packing. Her own panties are excellent, especially if she's had them on all day and they are a bit "ripe" with her own juices. To force her to taste her own secretions while she's hopelessly gagged adds another bit of humiliation to her predicament, and the idea is to make her silent and to also destroy her will, to tear down what makes her proud to be a woman. What could be more humiliating than to be gagged with something as personal as her own worn panties stuffed into her mouth?

But getting back to tape gags, to me, tape is the most effective gag, as long as her mouth is filled and she can't loosen the gag by managing to wet it with her tongue. That's why packing is so important. If the tongue is blocked and the mouth is stuffed, she can't force the tape off her mouth. Plus that, tape gags look great on a bound woman. I prefer duct tape, nice and sticky and effective. Her only way of audibly protesting is now taken away, covering her lower face with several swatches of silver tape, so all you can see are her scared, pleading eyes.

Only way to improve on a tape gag, in my mind, is to take it one step further and wind the tape completely around her head, several times, with no regard to the fact that it's gonna be a bitch to take off afterward. You don't care that it will pull her hair when it's removed, you want her silent and thoroughly gagged, and this cruel method will shut her mouth and keep it shut. I've seen the round-the-head method in only a handful of videos, one being Gangland with Kerri Downs and another being South of the Border 7 with Elaine Payton, right before they hung her upside-down for torture. And of course, in mainstream movies, the classic scene with Alex and his droogs to the female victim in A Clockwork Orange. Interestingly enough, the packing he used was a rubber ball in her mouth before winding clear tape all around her head.

To segue nicely onto the next topic, the ballgag would be my second most favorite, since they are effective at muffling her speech and also make your victim look damn hot, reminding me of a trussed up pig with an apple in its mouth. Great visual metaphor there :)

Penis gags are another great way of subjugating a woman, symbolically making her suck dick while she's gagged. Love the idea, just don't see that sort of gag too often.

I also love ring gags, since they force her to keep her mouth open so that anything can be inserted in her mouth, and she can't bite down to do anything about it. Perfect for forced oral sex, and that's another turn-on.

One gag I dislike would be the gag trainer that buckles under her chin and straps over top of her face. Too much of her face gets obscured for me to really enjoy the look of a gagged woman.

Over-the-mouth gags: like cleave gags, they often look good, but I don't generally like them because a woman can easily talk through even the tightest one, so what is the point?

Man, this has turned into a long post, hasn't it? Let's give someone else a chance to talk. Favorite gags, and why? And again, everyone here who watches these movies should have an opinion on this subject. Let's hear what you have to say.

Since I only like fem-fem movies it colors most of my preferences. By far my favorite gags are dildo gags where the dom pleasures herself over the face of the victim. I like bound titties but not so tight that they discolor. I can't stand needles or anything that could truly disfigure or damage. My favorite scenes are lez bondage and rape so that would include scenes from War Pigs 4, Miss Ballista, The Seed, Viral Load, etc.

That being said, in your various opinions, what are the best ZFX and other lez only vids and where does one go to download them? I am more than willing to pay for them. I live in Canada and it is very difficult to get vids and DVDs across the border. (our so-called liberal government is even more restrictive on this kind of stuff than yours is)

About good f/f ZFX flicks, two good ones I can think of are "Xtractor" (has some good breast bondage too) and "Doc Bondage". F/f bondage happens to be my favorite too. I would also recommend www.waterbondage.com and www.wiredpussy.com for f/f bondage action, and www.whippedass.com for f/f domination action (though the dialog in those movies is a little tiresome to me).

Thought Id pop in see whats up and try to answer a few questions posed, etc.

Ralphus had asked if doing linear transfers is very involved or more involved than just transferring the title to mpeg2 (DVD). Its a lot more involved than you would think. It would have been simple to just do straight transfers, but I really wanted to try to fix some of the problems with some titles, like excessively loud soundtracks, bad edits, etc. That requires more time and effort but I think the results are worth it in better quality. Then DVD packaging must be created. On some of the older titles, (and some newer ones) the packaging doesnt work well in the small format of DVD packaging and in those instances must be largely reworked. So thats the task at hand.

Canadian: If you looking for ZFX, go to www.zfx-shockwavevideo.com we a lot of streaming stuff there now available to our overseas customers. Its not downloadable but if your looking for a specific title its probably there.

ZFX Sellers: There are a ton of people selling ZFX DVDs on the Internet, I just cant sell it myself as I have no way to take credit cards. Ridiculous, but thats the way it is and I dont think thats going to change in the foreseeable future. People all day are emailing me: Rick, I cant find ZFX ANYWHERE..Search on Google for christs sake. Try ZFX bondage DVD in quotes.

Music: I a HUGE fan of ACDC, Maiden etc. and so I have...um...borrowed some of their titles..I suppose you could call it a tip of the hat to these great rock bands. In the back of my mind Im hoping ole Angus Young will give me a call one day and ask me to do a video for them....man would that be saweet! Ok, thats probably not going to happen but hey, I can dream right? A ZFX music CD? Is everyone taking crazy pills?=)

HIGHSTRUNG: I really like the Lisa parts of this movie, I left the glasses on because:

A. I like to see brainy chicks tied up, and glasses sell that point..I dunno, to me its just hot....

B. Taking glasses off in an impromptu attack is probably the last thing I would be thinking about if I wanted to have my way with a nurse in the ER and was in a big hurry. I would get her clothes off to get to the good parts and not be terribly concerned about removing her eyewear. Careful removal of her glasses to me would seem contrived but, hey, to each his/her own.

The Apartment, which is now the almost for sure official title, will be out in late Jan Early Feb. Its nearly done now, but I have to wait till after the holidays and CES show to release it. Once we get a bit closer I will make some caps available, etc., BTW, if you really hate LK in pigtails, this might be a show to skip=/...

Brianp1701: ZFX on Yahoo and MSN etc.... You will not see ZFX on any of these sites. Im not in the business of giving away my products, but promotion is good if done within reason and I allowed some people like Hank to do some caps as he was cordial and asked first. Unfortunately Hank had his bondage sites slapped down by Yahoo so many times I think he just said fuck it...if its back someone post a link to the new site please. Maybe Hank can fill us in on the status.

POLOTACS: There was a house committee meeting Thursday of last week Chaired by Sen. John McCain R of Arizona, on the perils of porn addiction and my guess is you will be seeing some action on that in the near future. You can read more about it on AVN.com. Ashcroft is out, but it remains to be seen what the new man will do...*whistles and tries to look busy*.

Rick

It's to your credit that you are taking extra time to fine-tune your shows before transferring them to DVD. Since DVD appears to have a more permanent shelf life than VHS, you want to make them as good as you can, since this really is your legacy, your lifelong work that will be hopefully last beyond your years. And generations from now, I predict pervs will be wistful for the ZFX titles and remember them fondly, just like this generation feels about pioneers like Whitman, Blakemore and the rest of the House of Milan works.

Lisa in pigtails: (channeling Mr. Bill) OH NOOOOO! Oh well, at least she's not going to be wearing glasses this time!

Regarding her wearing glasses, my friend and I discussed that after we both saw High Strung. He mentioned that he likes the idea of a snooty executive girl wearing glasses at first...as long as they are ripped off or smashed relatively soon after the capture. That would be cool, step on them and smash them in front of her! To let her keep wearing them throughout the whole ordeal just doesn't work for me, but hey, at least you and Hail liked it :)

I'm a little surprised we haven't had more response to zee-ef-ex's gag preference question. So to make it a little easier, I'm going to post some examples on the board tonight. I'll take them down after we get some feedback. Certainly all you GIMPers have an opinion on how you like to see your victims gagged, right? Let's hear from you.

Favorite gag but not as effective. A single thin handekerchief or any sturdy cloth tied painfully tight where both sides of the mouth are stretched so far back that it cannot be stretched any further. The  actress can then still communicate with her kidnapper and make semi-lierate pleas for mercy. Words like "NO" come out sweetly..."NEWWWWW".

Glasses... I personally enjoy the look when done in the proper setting...ofice girl, schoolgirl, librarian. As far as when and how to take them off...how about they fly off when the victim violently jerks her head the first time the rapist sodomizes her.

Finally... Just to attempt a new thread. I am always looking for a great "Home Invasion" video, possibly with multiple victims. Can anyone recomend their favorites to me. I am looking for the kind of video (dosen't necessarily  have to be ZFX) that will give me the same feelings i had the first time I viewed "Terror Among Us" or the face down, spreadeagle rape in "Confessions Of A Serial Killer".( or for that matter, the young bound, struggling girl being hauled from the car trunk in the same movie)) I realize that I enjoyed these two movies immensly because they really bothered me and gave me the feeling of dread for the victims. (rare to find in a Jay edwards, Bedroom Bondage, Dominic Wolfe, AES,.. etc) If I wasn't enjoying their plight SOOOO damn much, I might have felt sorry for them. If you have a recomendation of "Flicks that "bothered" you please, let me know.

This is how Dr. Judith Reisman started her lecture to the panel: "Thanks to the latest advances in neuroscience, we now know that pornographic visual images imprint and alter the brain, triggering an instant, involuntary, but lasting, biochemical memory trail..." Duh, but don't all memories alter the brain and create a biochemical memory trail? Our memories are not voluntary nor consensual.

I googled Dr. Reisman and one only has to look at her homepage to understand that her entire career is focused on only one conclusion-- that porn is bad. Not too surprisingly, she hasn't found any evidence to contradict that position and has dedicated her career to not seek such evidence. http://www.drjudithreisman.com/

Take a look at some of the comments about Reisman here http://libertus.net/censor/xrhoax7.html

The Dr was given 3/4 of a million dollars to back up her claims that major adult magazines (Playboy, Penthouse, & Hustler) had thousands of images of child pornography. What she delivered was a 6000 entry listing of all illustrations, photos, or mentions of children without any contextual reference. A hilarious Gahan Wilson cartoon with children, that had no sexual connotations, would be in that list. The government agency, that commissioned the study, threw it out as worthless.

Another scenario I like is that the girl has a ring gag, and has a pussy, either that of another poor girl caught in the trap or of the domme, stuffed in her mouth, so that she can't bite, but only lick, and can't get all the juice out of her mouth afterwards.

I echo Rick's hope that the new Attorney General will not be an anti-porn zealot - that has been my hope for a while, and I am at least partially vindicated in that Ashcroft indeed stepped down. So now it's a roll of the dice, but what are the chances of getting somebody as prudish as Ashcroft twice in a row? I'm still optimistic that this junk science backing up the claims of catastrophic effects of porn will be tossed aside as the agendized poroganda that it is. I'll be here to eat my crow if it turns out that the War on Porn continues to grow... but, if it does come to pass, I will bet that there will arise a black market of porn - just look what happened with prohibition.

I just found out that our video has been nominated for AVN's "Best Specialty Release - BDSM" of the Year - see link: http://www.avnawards.com/2005nominees.shtml

Well, I must say I am mighty proud!

As for the gag survey, my top pick is masking tape, followed by ball gags at number two.

Having said that, any type of gag that has the desired effect works pretty well for me. Looking at today's choice of photos, for example, I find the physical attractiveness of the victim is far more important to me than the type of gag used.

Our politicians don't talk much about God. Indeed, most Canadians are offended by politicians who seem too religious.

However, our secular approach to politics hasn't done anything for free speech or free expression. Not so many years ago, the cops in Toronto were hassling Madonna for being too risque. We may be less religious up here, but Big Brother is far more intrusive.

I actually created it 2 months ago but never did anything with it due to being so busy.Not much there yet as I need to create new stuff, but check out "Don't go in the House", a classic scene if there ever was one.It was posted before, but cleaned it up a bit.

Rick ,thanks for the kind words, and that has been my dilemma. I have had offers to move my caps to pay sites, but I never wanted to make money off of what started as a hobby for my own enjoyment. Rick's comments are appreciated as I feel it's his material and I hope that people who see the caps may be encouraged to buy the movies.

So anyway the site is there, untill I get some free time it will grow slowly, but fear not I keep buying new material.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

As to gags, different gags for different purposes. In general, I like the stuffed mouth (panties work well) with a tape overlay. Ball gags are OK (except for the facial distortion-might be why some like them).

Put up some pix of a new model, Cherish, at the orcahouse group. Did a short superheroine shoot with Angilene (pix after T-Day).

Spiker, you might try Whiplash 3, which has quite a bit of the girl girl action, although not as well done as other of Rick's stuff, with a particularly poor performance by Bridget B. who has been better in other films such as Robopimp and Ballista.

I decided to emerge from the shadows to say a thing or 2 about my very favorite topic THE GAG. For me w/out a doubt the best is the ball. I prefer the medium to smaller size that can be pulled DEEPLY within the recipients wet gob(about 2.5" in diameter is good). Once in place I want to see that gag POP...in/out...in/out with plenty 'o drool. Nothing irks me more than a damsel who just lets that wretched thing sit in her mouth. "Just try & get that gag off girlie." And then- to see them cry ..wretch..hear their sobs and whimpering moans of futility ...aaaahhhh.

Anyways, A zfx film about an abducted nursie(I cannot recall the title offhand) featured a great little gag fighter; but the best has to be victoria vixen in "Night Prowler" and that great little ball she had to suck on for the first 15 minutes or so. GREAT scene. So (if i may) i would like to suggest an offshoot survey from the general gag topic; favorite gag fighting scenes.

One more thing about gags-cleaves are great if they are thick , tight , & get chewed upon (an appealing varient of the aforementioned gag fighting) Thin cleaves are tolerable if tight. bits are next. no use for tape and otms.sorry.

So if any ladies are reading this post to you i say "Fight your gag-Bite your gag!!"

Happy Holidays.

So, after reading the mentioned post, I started thinking about un-definitive gags. I mean, a girl could chew through a cleave gag and rid herself of it, right? And what about a rubber ball gag? While admittedly horrible tasting, and she'd have no choice but to swallow it, couldn't she chew through a ball gag, eventually?

So, I'm calling on gag manufacturers to make a new type of gag, one which would get my new vote for number 1. How about a solid metal ball gag that cannot possibly be chewed through or removed without it being untied?

any other suggestions?????

I like the way she's tied, but I'm a fan of a good chair-tie anyway. Sometimes in bondage videos, and very often in movies and TV, they make the victim too comfortable when they tie her to a chair. One thing that really gets on my nerves is when her arms are tied to the armrests of the chair, and it just looks like she's sitting and not like she's even tied at all. When Baronorca sent me the pic, he said he was going for an HOM look but didn't think he quite pulled it off. I agree it's not quite there yet, but he's close.

As with any bondage position, you want the bonds to secure her so she can't get away, and I think he's accomplished that. The wrists are tied behind her, the way they should be, because it's more effective and hurts more. Her ankles are corded to the legs of the chair. She's not going anywhere. The ballgag sealing her mouth looks like it will keep her quiet.

Now, the second thing I would want to accomplish if I were tying her would be to make her more uncomfortable. She's helpless to escape, and her wrists will start to tingle after a while, but she's not really suffering.

So how do we intensify her bondage position? Number one, I would start by binding her elbows together behind her, which will force her to sit up more rigidly with her back against the chair and make her even more immobile. That would also cause her chest to stand out more, and then I would take advantage of that by clamping a clothespin on each nipple. Her chest may be small, so we can't add a lot, but trust me, her tits will be hurting soon enough.

And as long as her legs are spread wide like that, I would add some clothespins to her shaven pussy and her clit. Now every minute she's sitting is torture, and squirming only makes the clamps on her tits and pussy hurt more. Leave her like that for a few hours and I guarantee she'll be in some serious pain and discomfort. Then set up the camera and let it roll. Instant entertainment!

Ralphus, Your most recent post and todays pic brought something to mind. There are a few things I would like to try in the bondage scene, but as much as I enjoy nipple bondage/torture to watch and look at, that is one thing I don't want to happen to me.

Recently, I went to my local erotic shop. I came across the section on bondage/masochism supplies. I saw the clothes pins. I have debated several times as to if I was willing to try them. My nipples are very sensitive and I like that, I don't want to ruin their sensitivity. I debated and debated in my head until I realized I had my shoulders hunched in such a way that it was as if I was standing there protecting my nipples. I decided then that I would not buy them, if my subconscious is telling me no, then no it is. I made my other purchases and got out to the car and just laughed at myself, what a wimp!

Sure makes me respect the gals that do it in the movies.

Are there any gals out there, that have tried it? Or any guys that have used used them on their girlfriends? Did it ruin your sensitivity, heighten it, or not change it at all? (not talking about at the time, I am talking about down the road, in future experiences).

I'll tell you, that's one site I make sure I check out every week just to download their new 30 second trailers, because they always give me a smile. One of these days, I've just got to renew my membership with them. They sure have some creative ideas.

Annie: I don't know many times I've seen Lisa Kinkaid in movies where she has clothespins on her tits, but it's a lot, and she's been working with Rick for close to 10 years now. Clothespins and other clamps are pretty much a staple in bondage films, so I doubt you'll get permanently hurt. I've read on newsgroups like alt.torture that it's safe as long as you don't leave them on for too long a time, like say, 30 minutes.

I would probably stay clear of letting anyone hang you in the air with a meathook up your pussy, though.

Maybe these questions have already been answered someplace but I did a quick archive check and didn't find anything, so here goes. Hopefully Rick might answer these himself!:

The weird music that plays over certain scenes, like in Alien Probe, Fair Warning (actually most of the ZFX vids). Where did it come from? Was it just something Rick heard and liked? Did he spend a long time trying to come up with some weird sound or did he do it in a few seconds in front of a keyboard. It's a consistant/trademark sound used in most of the films.

The location scenes. I'd love to know why a set was chosen. IE: a friends warehouse/storage shed, so-and-so's/my aunt's backyard, "we just walked on a Sunday when no one was there..." stuff like that. I know the answers depend on the movie but I find that shit interesting.

The bike scene in "Violation of Vikki". I loved it. It was right out of some old Bondage Paperbacks from the '80s. Is that where Rick got the idea?

What the hell was that stuff that came out of the fake cock in Gangland3? Vanilla pudding? :)

How fucking funny was it making the Necklace2? I loved it but I can't imagine what the filming was like "OK, now you're going to be raped by a teddy bear. I know, stop laughing."

Any self bickering over the cover art or alternate covers?

Shit like that is what I think of after I've watched a ZFX vid a few dozen times. I don't think it takes away from the illusion of the film either. Although I'd watch it first with the commentary off!

Just some ZFX questions that have been in my head for a while. Hail

Hail, realplayer works fine with xp. Can't imagine what your problem is.

Annie, I've used adjustable nipple clamps instead of of clothespins, and nary a complaint from the gals.

But since you were nice enough to make three posts today, let me know if you didn't get them and I'll post the links again for you to grab.

Here's a couple corrections regarding your latest post: It was actually Voodoo Dolls where Lisa got raped by the teddy bear, not Necklace 2. I never saved a copy of that scene, but it's one of the funniest things I ever saw in a ZFX video. You have to see it to believe it, folks.

Also, it was in Gangland 2, not 3, that featured the most incredible facial cum shot in porn history. After Nick is done raping her, Kerri Downs gets hosed for nearly 3 minutes, and I'm not exaggerating. I love that scene. I swear Kerri was practically drowning in the stuff by the time he finished. That's probably one of the all-time favorite ZFX scenes for more than a few GIMPers, I'll bet.

Some years ago, I talked to Kerri on the phone and asked her about shooting that scene. She told me that Rick mixed sweetened condensed milk with water to create the cum that Nick shoots out of his robot dick. So that's one trade secret revealed: the recipe for ZFX cum!

Hey, I didn't know the gag poll was closed!

Yeah, Ralphus, I made a few errors. I was just going from memory since I don't have the movies in front of me right now. And yes I did catch your caps, thanks.

Here's an idea because, to be honest, regular bondage talk just bores the fuck out of me and this is a ZFX board, how about a "ZFX Video of the week discusion". I know you made the reviews already, Ralphus, but we must have more or different members here than when the vids were originally released. There must be a lot of new comments and thoughts, likes and dislikes that haven't been discussed. Actually, as I write this I wonder if it's a good idea since I bet many, like me, haven't seen *all* the videos so there's going to be some big gaps. This forum is pretty limited as far as structure goes so it might get pretty confusing. It would be nice if it had a thread feature like this site:

http://www.homepageofthedead.com/board/index.html

Which is a pretty good site too if you guys like the whole Zombie thing!

Anyway! thanks for the fake spew details. That was a great scene. Like most ZFX vids it made me lean towards the TV and say "WHAT THE FUCK!!"

Did another shoot the week before T-Day. A superheroine shoot with Angilene (pix will be up at OrcaHouse later this week, maybe a clip to). Different, this was mostly video oriented and I was using a second girl (a domme). This allowd me to concntrate on the pix & vid. This way needs a lot more planning.

Brutal Violence---How come I never saw this before? Thanx for the link, may have to drop a few bucks there.

Rick--Howabout making a deal with (at least) one online company to be the main souce of ZFX & keep them stocked. Then link it to the ZFX site, this way people can find your movies without too much sweat. A new ZFX movie soon? About time (I remember when they came out a lot more frequently).

Nipple toys? According to my models, the easiest (and scariest) is the mousetrap. If used gently, the force is spread out over the entire bar of the trap, if triggred, it's pretty brutal (can bruise).

Later

Be careful with technique. Try this experiment - take a wooden clothespin and grab the entire webbing between two of your fingers with it. Barely hurts, right? Now take the same clothespin and turn it at an angle and clamp just a tiny bit of skin. The pain just increased dramatically.

Those with brutal tastes and practices may find their experiences differ, but my tastes aren't brutal, so with just some mild nipple play, there's no permanent brusing, soreness, or whatever.

I´d like to take this oportunity to introduce a possible gimp rating system to you by following the above link. There was only little discussion about it when I first presented it here but now that there is a permanent link at the gimp maybe it will become more popular.

The idea is that everybody writing a review MIGHT use it additionally to the written text. The criteria are still open to discussion and it should not replace any more detailed description. It should just help to quickly categorize a movie according to the different tastes and interests represented among the gimpers. At the end of a review one could for example write:

rape 2
torture 4
bondage 4
explicitness 4
acting 2
beauty 2

Then everybody who is more into rape knows immediately (without reading through the whole text) that this movie is not his/her cup of tea. Torture fans might think twice and start reading through the text.

What do you think?

Peace, Jaeckill

Annie: My recommendation is the plastic clamp parts (removed from hanger rod) of clothes hangers -- many of them provide a squeeze and some discomfort and they are ofen somewhat adjustable by stretching out the spring mechanism. Best of all, you probably have some hanging around somewhere.

I don't know about you but I wouldn't mind seeing Stephanie Swift and Tera Patrick being put through an 'ZFX extreme pain workout!....perhaps you could have a word to these ladies, Mr Masters??

Greetings to all.
