Apparently this series presents bondage and S/M newbies via the kind of scenes most newbies work toward. In Volume 1 Chet Chester introduces Richie Silva to a wide range of experiences. The confused and uncut lad gets suspended, cuffed to spreader bars, shaved with both an electric and a safety razor, clamped with clothespins, squeezed with impressive and creative CBT, and spanked - among other things. Sadly, the sound cuts in and out on this tape to an annoying degree.

Volume 2, entitled "Storeroom Torture Trap," avoids the technical shortcomings of the freshman release and features sweet-faced, shaven headed Ben Ashton, who endures some impressive torment. Unlike Silva, Ashton's experiences are more invasive - and he is far more responsive to them. His muscular body contorts and his smooth face clearly communicates the effort he's putting into controlling his breathing and remaining in control as much as possible. Along with the usual clothespins, ropes and riding crops, Ashton sits his ass down over an impressively long and ribbed dildo screwed into a wooden stool. The dildo can be lowered or raised - and frequently is. The young man writhes, pressing his forehead to his forearms and an overhead bar and is ultimately rewarded with some fellatio and an ejaculation.

"A Slave Retrained" is the third tape in this series and stars slim and youthful Igor and his sexually and lovingly sadistic Master Russell Steel, who wears a half mask, leather harness and chaps. Regrettably, the sound cuts in and out on this tape, too, interrupting what is otherwise a truly hot series of scenes. Igor endures fingers in his ass, an enema, and a butt plug before being forced upon another dildo-studded stool and gagged. He's clearly not too upset by any of these indignities as he smothers Steel with kisses once his mouth is uncovered. There's more, of course. There's always more. And every bit of it is fascinating.
