The English Mansion is up for review today, and this site obviously comes to us from the U.K. and features some pretty wild femdom action from deep inside their dungeon (oops, I mean mansion). Guys here are humiliated, trampled, tied up, whipped, spanked, forced to be slaves, forced to suck cocks, forced to drink pee, and more. They seem to have a pretty good grasp on the whole femdom thing and don't mind making their men do their wishes. $35 a month gets you in the door, which is high, but not out of the blue for a site like this.
The variety and uniqueness of the content here is definitely impressive. The main, overriding theme is femdom action from Britain. From there, it can go in any direction. Pissing, dick stomping, pain, bondage, humiliation, forced cumming, forced delay in cumming, nipple clamps, and who knows what the fuck else. There's great femdom content here for sure.
For once, this site has more videos than photo galleries, though they do split the scenes up into multiple parts (see below). Expect to see over 500 photo galleries, and over 700 video clips up currently, which is a lot of content overall. It's that much more impressive with the type of content they're offering.
There are a few photo updates each week, and even more video scene updates as well. Granted, they come in parts, but it works out to more than an update per day at the rate they're going, which is definitely okay by me.
It's pretty amateur at first look, but it's here, it works, and it helps for sure. They have quite a few different categories to choose from, and the search lets you combine whatever you want into a great advanced search setup. It's definitely helpful for finding specific content types.
Despite download managers not working for me, they still managed to max out my download connection speeds even with a single browser download, which was great to see.
The content seems to be all-exclusive here from what I can tell, especially with how unique it is.
While they do have the search and all, the whole layout of the site wasn't the best in my opinion. There aren't enough galleries per page while browsing, the gallery previews are too large, and there are too many pages of content to get through. They need to streamline things a bit with how large the site is.
For most of the videos here, they split them up into parts. This poses a few problems. Navigationally, it makes the site more cluttered than it needs to be. There are that many more video scenes, and it's that much harder to make sure you've seen all the parts here. Second, it makes updates a little slower than they seem, and it makes their content counts seem a little higher than they actually are as well.
Some of the newer scenes come in high definition, but even the HD quality isn't as good as I'd hope for. Once you get a little ways back in the collection, the quality takes a big nosedive, and most of it needs a pretty big boost overall in my opinion.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get a download manager to work at all here. You're kinda stuck with just using a regular browser download, which are sometimes quite a bit slower than a download manager would be. Thankfully, speed wasn't an issue here at least.
The largest photos are only available in the zip files unfortunately. If you try to view the images in their default slideshow view in your browser, they come up much smaller (though if you switch to their classic view, they are back to full size).
The English Mansion only really falls behind on some of the more technical aspects of running a site. The navigation isn't great, the quality could be better, etc. However, where they really shine is on making some quality BDSM content, which they clearly know quite well. The scenes are unique and very fun, and this site should appeal to a lot of people out there. Once you pony up the higher-than-usual price tag, you're treated to some pretty hardcore action that you just don't find a lot out there. If you can look past the shortcomings of the site itself and just enjoy their content, you'll have a blast here I assume.
