Gangbound 6 Review

Reviewed by Laszlo  on  7/1/2005

I was curious what porn star Amber Michaels was up to these days and the Harmony Concepts website piqued my interest. They offer a line of non-sex, rough bondage videos that are directed at the refined 50s-pinup style lingerie, high-heels and bondage fetishists. The legal limitations involved in this type of production means no sexual penetration is shown while the girls are bound-but many of the girls get topless and are presented in provocative, staged situations. Many of the girls are curvaceous & very amply endowed (some with implants). Some of the scenarios may be considered campy and there is NO violent slapping or choking whatsoever. This disc consists of 10 vignettes with multiple bondagettes with a total run time of 60 minutes. The ones that stood out for me are listed below.

Summer Cummings in a Strappado
Summer is a top-heavy, disgruntled auto service customer demanding satisfaction. She gets tied up & gagged (ball gag) for her complaints. Jack Banner and pal tie her arms back at the wrist & elbows very tightly with rope attached to the ceiling which is then pulled upward hard. She is bent over at the waist with her legs tied together above the knee. She squirms around in this position hiking up one leg with heels. Jack pulls up her mini skirt revealing a pale, tight ass w/tattoo. He then yanks down her top to partially reveal her massive double-D breasts. She bounces around moaning thru her gag.

Karina Santos Captured & spread-eagled
Karina is a tight-bodied, dark-haired cutie with blueish grey eyes evoking a little of Dita von Tease. She's wearing black stockings (thigh-high), lace undies and a skin-tight, white t-shirt. She is forcefully abducted by 4 guys and tied to the bedposts on a full-size mattress. Once secured, Jack takes scissors to her top Clockwork Orange-style and snips it off, revealing her milky-white skin and small perky breasts. She is gagged with a rubber bit-gag and then tied at the waist. The guys leave and she is shown struggling with her restraints with her heels still on. I liked this scene a lot - but then again maybe I have serious issues to deal with.

Karina Santos in a strappado
Karina this time with a skin-tight, rubber latex top with collar and strap-gag, gets tied up in a "strappado." They use a T-bar to bind her ankles, forcing her legs to spread apart. She is bent over hard with her arms up and the collar is linked to the T-bar with a chain. She looks really hot here as she turns a full 360 in this position showing off her tight ass thru black lace panties.

Amber & Darby's interrupted bondage session
Amber Michaels is a photographer taking innocent bondage shots of Darby when the studio is broken into by Jack & friend. Amber gets gagged with a strap and bit-gag while her hair is pulled back. They tie her arms back tightly at the wrists and elbows with rope. Jack spanks her ass once quickly. She is pushed against a wall, then her ankles & knees are tied together. Her top gets pulled down, revealing Amber's massive, enhanced rack. She is bound together with Darby at her waist with her boobs forced into Darby's face. Amber is moaning thru her gag and some drool drips down onto her tits and Darby's face. Amber looks sexy here but it's her only scene and we don't get to see her ass. What a shame.

FINAL IMPRESSIONS
Obviously not for everyone- however there is apparently a viable market for this stuff as Harmony Concepts has been around for a while. Further delving into their website revealed that many of their titles will pulled due to the enforcement of records compliance regulations implemented by our fine right-wing administration. Again, the fact that there is no sexual contact shown during these vignettes demands a viewer with considerable restraint in taste (no pun intended). I found the above vignettes to be very sexy nonetheless and a nice change of pace from the usual violent approach to bondage or rough sex videos. I would've liked there to be more spanking & interaction but maybe there's some "one spank only" law I'm unaware of. If you are already into hardcore BDSM this may be tame for your tastes but for experimenting couples and aficionados of bondage gear this is a worthy rental or purchase.
