As we are now in the year 2017 and the internet is well over 20 years old, it’s interesting to see the state of affairs in BDSM movie production. A few significant ones to look at:
The Quality Is Vastly Improving
For many years, lifestyle BDSM couples and groups have built elaborate dungeons and play spaces, created complex furniture and rigging, and invested in high quality gear and toys. In recent years, there has been a trend of more and more BDSM couples starting their own film production studios, as well as doing scenes for professional film companies. This has resulted in a deeper visual texture in many bondage movies which capture the energy and chemistry with higher production values. Yes, there is still a lot of minimalist amateur production going on, but it’s refreshing to see BDSM movies often now reaching the complexity of Hollywood Indie films! you can see some examples of these movies at Strip2.xxx
There Are Great Discount Offers Available
As the sheer volume of free (often pirated) adult content continues to flood the internet, that has resulted in many studios to find innovative and creative ways to convince their viewers that their movies are worth paying for. One incentive that has become popular is the “discount porn club” type of sites which offer deals on membership sites and video downloads. This can include coupon codes, or text links to special offer pages that instruct the surfer to use this huge Kink Unlimited discount, for example.
Safe, Sane and Consensual Is Back
From the early days of BDSM movie production in the 1990s, the performers were by and large couples in the kinky community playing out scenes as they would in their home or at a fetish party. But, starting around the year 2001, the “Vanilla” porn studios saw a content niche to exploit. Unfortunately, they simply hired porn stars who often had little training in bdsm safe practices, and the “rough Sex” genre was born. Thankfully, in the past several years, that has pretty much run its course and studios and home producers are now focusing on authentic bdsm shot in an ethical, safe, sane and consensual manner.

High Tech Filming On the Rise
Part of what is driving the dramatic increase in quality of today’s BDSM films is that producers are now investing in much better equipment to create works that have a cinematic quality. 4k cameras are now common commonly used and as these cameras use very high quality lenses, the increase in visual quality is almost startling! Add to this many producers now exploring Virtual Reality, use of Hollywood style gimbals and track/dolly systems and some even occasionally using drones for filming and it’s a whole new world coming to big and small screens for your enjoyment.
So, enjoy this brave new world of BDSM movie production and, you are highly encouraged to pay for these movies as much as you can afford. This allows producers and directors to be able to pay performers and crew for all of these nice new improvements!
