bondage website review:

KianaBound

www.kianabound.com is a well established bondage website run by Martin Williams and his beautiful (and sexy!) Filipino wife, Kiana. The site has just undergone a complete redesign (September 2002), and the result is a much cleaner and leaner looking website. It contains a large quantity, and variety, of content, and the redesign has made it really user friendly. It is now superbly easy to find what you want quickly without getting confused. Well done Martin!

Writing a review of KianaBound is not an easy thing to do, simply because the site has such a wide selection of material and features on offer!

first a little background

Martin and Kiana claim they were the first to post digital bondage pictures on the Internet, way back in 1996, and that Kiana was the first Asian bondage model to have her own website in 1997. In those days, Kiana hid her identity by wearing a blindfold. However she "came out" from behind the mask in 1998. This must have been a source of great joy to all her admirers!

Martin tells me Kiana is planning another adventurous "coming out" sometime in the future, when she will be appearing topless. Ultimately, if my understanding is correct, she will be appearing nude. Well, that will be a sight for sore eyes! Note added in September 2002: yes, it has really started! Kiana's first completely nude pictures have been posted, although her position is designed as a compromise... :-) You see Kiana is genuinely shy and reluctant to show her body!! So Martin has to persuade her, I guess. For me it is a huge turn on, seeing pictures of Kiana nude, and also playing with herself, because I know she finds it difficult but exciting!

One of the things that distinguishes KianaBound from many other bondage websites, is the fact that Kiana and Martin are sharing her bondage with us, as opposed to inventing it for us. Reading the text on the site, it becomes clear that Kiana loves being put into rigorous bondage, and forced to remain in it for prolonged periods. This is not an actress or model being paid to do something she does not really have her heart in. This is a lovely lady submitting to bondage and pain, and submitting to being displayed in public because it excites her!

Now to the content, but where should one start?

bondage pictures

I suppose first and foremost one should consider the pictures of Kiana in bondage. The photographs are taken by Martin, and they are high resolution pictures of excellent quality. The bondage is stringent, and the bound lady is beautiful. Furthermore, it is special because you know it turns her on! Kiana is bound extremely tightly in the most provocative and sexy of outfits. She is fastened in a wide variety of shiny, body-hugging latex outfits, in a varied assortment of scanty lingerie, and in various other fetish outfits. As indicated above, Kiana is being "persuade" to appear nude now... (yummy, drool). Rope bondage features prominently, and Kiana is one of these wonderful ladies whose elbows can be forced to meet behind her back :-)

New photos are continually being added to the members area, and they are arranged by bondage session. Older photos are also archived for downloading in zip format. Alternatively, they can be purchased on CD using the online store.

bondage video

Kianabound also provides streaming video clips, each of several minutes duration, that can be downloaded for viewing at your pleasure. In these you can watch Kiana struggling, and hear her charming little moans and grunts. These add so much to the experience don't you think! Yep, I DEFINITELY need to add video to Ebony Bondage!

If you want longer video that has not been compressed for streaming across the web, you can buy video cassettes using the online store. The price is very reasonable too, and one of my members says the technical quality is excellent.

live bondage shows

Would you like to watch live bondage shows? This is another feature offered to members - you can actually watch Kiana being bound before your very eyes! I have not sampled this myself, but it sounds really good. I should also point out that Martin and Kiana run a sister site, KianaKam.com. No prizes for guessing what that is! Once again, I have not personally sampled the site, so I cannot give any personal opinion of its contents. However I do know that viewers can influence the bondage as it happens!

website design

The website itself is designed by www.ematrixnetworks.com, which also hosts adult websites. In my previous review of this site I quibbled about some navigational issues, but the redesign (September 2002) has blown all my criticisms into the dust of a distant galaxy. I am genuinely impressed by the thought (and intelligence!) that has obviously gone into the new design. From a usability point of view the design is really excellent, from a visual and artistic point of view it is of a high standard - but we all know I am not competent to make judgements about "art" (ho ho).

other features

Other features include an online forum and extensive links pages.

sample bondage pictures

The small selection of bondage pictures shown as thumbnails below was prepared using bondage pictures provided by Martin. They are samples of his work from the KianaBound website. Of course, this small sample can only give you a glimpse of the material on offer, and new material is continually being added.
