Overview:
On the path to sexual enlightenment and fulfillment, one must conquer many inhibitions and much trepidation. Getting over a rejection, channeling your energy towards something positive, proving yourself to your betters, summoning the courage to enter a new scene, all of these require a fortitude of character and spirit, and a devotion to your preferred fetish. When you're a devoted sub slut like Gabriella Paltrova, Madelyn Monroe, Dani Daniels or Veronica Avluv, your path is much more daunting than simply hitting the right nightclub. Presenting themselves for lessons in submission at Kink's imposing San Francisco Armory headquarters, these women and many other brave souls are bound, gagged, strung-up, and splayed for their masters. The Training of O documents the rigid rules that must be followed, the orders that must be obeyed, the positions held, and the services performed if the trainee is to graduate and reach Kink's Upper Floor. Members of this exclusive adult site have access to a collection of training sessions in HD video and high-res photo forms, starring a parade of porn's most daring and submissive women and encompassing most known forms of bondage and discipline as well as training techniques the doms and dommes have developed over their years of experience. You, on the other hand, come in relatively powerless, having paid $29.95 for one month's access, now waiting to see if The Training of O will result in The Stiffening of D, your D! Strap yourselves in, dear readers, 'cause The Training of O could get pretty, uh, intense.

Pros:
Welcoming porn's most daring submissives and cocksure dungeon masters, The Training of O brings together veteran and newbie babes and their stiff-dicked masters. Veruca James, Ana Foxxx, Holly Michaels, and Gabriella Paltrova all prove their extreme porno worth while legends like Veronica Avluv, India Summer, and Bobbi Starr all go to intense measures to show they're still more devoted to submission than ever.

The Training of O offers some variety in its scenes and situations while keeping a firm grasp of its premise. Trainees are led (by rope or chain or a strong arm) led a subservient position then given basic orders to follow, often involving kneeling, saying please and thank you, and exposing their bodies in various invasive ways. Then it's on to Pavlovian conditioning, brutal domineering sex, humiliation, torture, and finally a newfound bliss.

Hitting High Definition resolutions of 720p, The Training of O's videos look very good streamed or downloaded and played locally; partial and full-scene videos are available in a variety of sizes. Photo galleries offer 2400px views of moments from the training sessions that can be viewed online or downloaded in zipped sets. Photography is quite clear and captures these usually uncomplicated scenarios cleanly and with precision.

Each training session comes in four parts, shot over four days, in which the new recruit goes from simple tasks and restraints to the most debasing sexual acts of servitude known to man. A new chapter arrives every Friday, but doesn't necessarily follow on from the previous episode. There's well over 400 episodes already online, though, which equals roughly 100 complete four-day training sessions!

Cons:
Browsing and sorting through The Training of O's 400-scene archive isn't quite as easy as it perhaps should be. If you're looking for something specific - say, the hosing down of a trainee or force-feeding of foreign objects - you'll have to find it on your own with only preview images and trailers to guide you. A selection of keyword tags and a detailed search engine would limit your wasted browsing time.

Upgrading video resolutions to 1080p would keep The Training of O in competition with the many, many adult sites, kinky or otherwise, that have now hit the peak consumer standard High Definition video size. The increased detail and clarity that would come from such an upgrade would work marvelously for this site, where the expressions on a sub's face is as vital as the quivering between her thighs.

With each sub's training taking place over four episodes, each arriving a week or (most probably) more since the last installment. This means it can take well over a month, sometimes two or three before the full training of a given woman is online in complete form. There's often three or four trainings taking place during a given month, which is good for variety but not consistency or immediacy.

Let's face it, not every woman applying to be an in-house Kink slave is cut out for it. Take recent inductee Carmen Caliente, for example: grinning through her introductory interview and many parts of her first training session, this young starlet, like many before her, doesn't take the training seriously enough and seems to find it more fun and weird than properly degrading.

Conclusion:
Kink's signature slave-training site, The Training of O, encompasses all kinds of BDSM activity, from simple restraints, whips, and gags to elaborate electrocution devices, pounding mechanical phalluses, an array of physical abuse, and psychological torture intended to break a woman's spirit and have her sniveling at the crotch of her master. High Definition 720p videos capture the (usually) hour chapters of each woman's training in clear, strong detail (although a 1080p upgrade would be wonderful) and are accompanied by 2400px photo galleries providing closer glimpses of each task, reward and punishment. It'd be great to see some more succinct training sessions (one or two episodes only) and updates that follow directly on from the last. Aside from a few miscast women, most submit wholly to the process and end up quietly thrilled with their newly legitimized slave status. After all, you can throw yourself at someone's feet but you'll only become a worthwhile slave once you've mastered various acts of submission and servitude, the teaching and enforcement of which is what The Training of O is all about. And, trust me, these are lessons you'l want to sit in on.
