Hard Caning Review

The cane is not an instrument that is preferred by naughty submissives. In fact, its use is often reserved for those scenarios requiring the most severe of punishments, which is exactly what Hard Caning is all about.

There is nothing romantic about this corporeal punishment site, and even for those into spanking, Hard Caning may be hard to bear. Yet, the cane is a required tool for any dominant and most have at least one in their plethora of tools. The design of the site is relatively amateur, yet to the point - just like the cane itself. There isn't a content menu, but rather all episodes are provided with multiple thumbnails on the members' page. There's no menu or other navigational features, so you'll simply have to look at the preview pictures and the accompanying descriptions.

What I particularly appreciated was that for each episode a total film length is given, as well as a count for how many strokes a naughty chick received. However, there are only 15 episodes at the moment. Before you start rolling your eyes due to the fact that this is undoubtedly not enough for the price, you should know that the site was launched in January 2007 so Hard Caning is still getting its bearings. In fact, the updates began sporadically at first, but now seem to be coming at a steady and weekly rate.

There is a link to other sites and a contact, but there are no photos and no bonuses. I think the site could beef up the value by adding some caning stories and certainly pictures or perhaps both. However, when it comes to anything in the realm of BDSM, I'm much more drawn to videos since the niche is all about a total aural and visual experience. Obviously, we can't feel the cane in our hand or on our buttocks, but we can certainly feel every wince of pain the babes receive when the cane whips through the air and crashes onto her flesh.

Films are ten minutes long and there are multiple download options including 700Kbps .rm, 796Kbps 720x576 .wmv and 320x240 iPod. I loved that the movies consist of improvised scenarios with the submissives all having been caught doing something bad enough to deserve such a harsh and wicked punishment and, make no mistake, these canings are extreme. Some of the chicks are so naughty that their asses are already bruised and barely healed before their next punishment. I loved the scenarios and thought that they were diverse and original. I was also impressed with the quality. Even though the bitrate wasn't particularly high-def, the screen size for each film is great and the crispness of the movie image and sound was good, which is important for those of us who love to hear the wisp of the cane sinking into flesh as well as seeing the marks rise on a pair of ass cheeks or hear a bad gal whimper and cry.

Final Verdict

Hard Caning is a specialty niche site focussing on the wielding of bamboo canes and the pain and tears suffered by chicks who deserved more than simply a reprimand for their actions. This is not a site for everyone since the canings are extreme, yet it will appeal to those who know that some babes need more discipline than others and that sometimes a simple spanking doesn't get the point across. Still, HardCaning needs to grow before it becomes truly worthy of the admission price that's being asked.
