I’ve written before about the sort of rigorous steel-shackles aesthetic that made the early Hogtied.com such a visual standout. I think it’s safe to say that the entire Kink.com porn empire is based on this style, so eye-catching was it when they first hit the internet with it:

There was a time, most of a decade ago, when the Kink.com empire was just one site, and that site was Hogtied.com. For its time, the site was unique — the bondage was at once simpler and more rigorous than just about anybody else’s. Although Hogtied.com continues to produce lots of high quality bondage porn, stumbling over one of their oldest galleries is nostalgic for me. This recent example (seen on Kinky Delight in a much larger size) is what I’m talking about:

I don’t think it’s too strong to suggest that Kink.com exists today because of this particular style of bondage photography (and because, at a time when the porn industry was much more conservative than it is today, they weren’t afraid to publish more explicit shots in the same style.)

Here’s some promotional material from Sex And Submission showing what happens when the Hogtied.com paramilitaries (yes, that’s a URL on the pocket of his shirt) are turned loose on the restrained female inmates:
No worries, though, our prisoner is smiling at the end of the picture!

Bondage tickling is one thing, but getting tickled mercilessly while suspended takes it to a whole next level:
This is a Hogtied.com photo from deep in the Kink.com archives.

Never let anybody try to convince you that the early material in the ancient archives at Kink Prime doesn’t include some fine bondage photography:
This bit of ruthless steel bondage exposure is, I think, from a Hogtied shoot, probably more than 20 years ago.
