Overview:
Algebra. I fucking hated it in school and still do to this day. Hell, I'm so anti-algebra that I'd never heard of linear algebra or the terms 'vector subspace' and 'linear subspace' - but I have now. In certain fields of mathematics, a subspace is a space that takes on the characteristics of its parent space while exhibiting characteristics all its own. In BDSM culture and practice, subspace follows a similar definition, this time referring to the state of submission experienced by a slave, sub, or bottom during bondage. When entering or existing in subspace, it's not uncommon for a bottom to lose part or all of their ability to effectively communicate, making it one of the more dangerous kink practices. While in subspace, a disconnection from the real world takes place and renders the bottom little more than a tool reacting reflexively to whatever their dom does. At Subspaceland, many performers are reduced to unintelligible piles of sweat-covered limbs and skin and hair, run through the gauntlet by aggressive, calculating doms for your entertainment. Charging €29.95-a-month (or roughly $34 USD), Subspaceland is one of those independent fetish sites seemingly content to be on the fringe of mainstream porn, producing its excellent wares for a small but dedicated audience. Will you join that audience? Well, if you've a fondness for rope restraints, whipping, spanking, forced entry, outdoor bondage, plastic body-wrapping, and punishing penile insertions in any and every available hole, and if you're also prone to suffering from FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) then you'd best swing by Subspaceland and see what tingling sensations are aroused in you.

Pros:
The mostly European models featured at Subspaceland are generally slim-figured sweet-faced twenty-somethings who submit to being dominated on camera in a variety of wicked ways. Featured slaves include Latvian blonde Lolly Gartner, Athina and Candee Licious of Hungary, Italian Anita Berlusconi, Netherlander Taylor Sands, and Julie Skyhigh, a high-heel fetishist from Belgium.

Strung up by rope, chain, or leather strap inside a dank dungeon or outside under the open sky, the slave women are flogged, paddled, fingered, plugged with vibes, dildos, and other toys, brutally pounding by their master's cock, and finally left a sniveling, whimpering mess. They have fun, though, as evidence by their quaking orgasms and satisfied (but spent) expressions.

Subspaceland is surprisingly contemporary when it comes to its content. Although this crew has been producing BDSM porn since 2006, if not earlier, the more recent updates bring both 720p and 1080p videos to your screen, the latter streaming beautifully in your browser window. Image galleries are also online, containing 1920px and even some 5760px images ready for viewing in online galleries and in zipped sets.

Hardly a small site, Subspaceland will soon be adding its 250th scene. Updates have been arriving on a weekly schedule for some time and, although older scenes are of lower quality, early Subspaceland works are just as risqué and daring as its newer productions.

Cons:
Many porn studios insist on mixing a musical score with the diegetic sounds of the scene and that's exactly what Subspaceland has done. When viewing a scene you'll hear ominous sustained chords giving way to percussion and melodic stings that can, at times, cloud the soundtrack and push the natural sex and bondage sounds a little too hard to hear clearly. Some viewers will dislike the music completely.

Streamers will be thrilled to find gorgeously detailed 1080p video streams on hand. Downloaders, however, will be mighty pissed to find their options limited to a 720p peak resolution. What gives, Subspaceland? Is this an oversight or is there some bizarre reasoning behind this HD inconsistency?

Subspaceland's image galleries mostly contain screencaps and, worst of all, they've been crudely slapped with a Photoshop filter that appears to blur pixilation and give a soft, warm, and very phony glow to models' skintones. This post-production tinkering can't polish a hazy, interlaced screencap, no sir.

Claiming to be a very different kind of bondage site, one focused not so much on physical degradation but on what it calls "emotional bondage," Subspaceland has an admirable motivation. The end result, however, is a site that really doesn't do anything wildly different than Kink, Fetish Network, Sexually Broken, House of Taboo, or a handful of other BDSM sites.

Conclusion:
While not exactly blazing the new trails it announced on its tour pages, Subspaceland nevertheless proves a valuable BDSM site, if not a particularly original one. Loaded with almost 250 scenes, each one an original, exclusive production, the weekly-updated archive has plenty to offer from wax torture to rope bondage, outdoor humiliation and degradation to whippings, beatings, and forcible throat-fucking. The girls are brought down from their high horses and made to suffer. Truth is they like it. Well organized and supported by a clean, attractive, emotive site, Subspaceland's content offers bold BDSM with hardcore flourishes, but the technical aspects of its videos and images leave something to be desired. Video downloads peak at 720p while streams reach the clearer, more vibrant 1080p resolution; image galleries contain screencaps, not photos, and heavily Photoshopped screencaps at that. If the HD issue were solved, I'm sure Subspaceland would welcome even more new members than it will now, some nine years after launching with a scene appropriately entitled 'Painful Games.'
