Pros: - Unique, innovative site
- Zany, fun scenes
- Some A-list models
- Several options available for downloads
- Performer commentary available
- Site owners seem to be active on their message board
- Great lighting, editing and camera work
- Supports download managers
Cons: - Small site (but growing)
- A bit pricey (but still a good value)
- Definitely not for a mainstream porn audience
Bottom Line: This site is easily among the most innovative sites I’ve ever had a membership at. If there is another site like this on the internet I’m not aware of it. I’ll get the only real negative out of the way now since this site does so much right: as a new site it’s still small. There are currently only 12 videos available. The site updates with a new video added weekly. One potential downside to that is that some of the scenes are in two parts so you may have to wait to get the full scene. (For example, part 1 of the Penny Pax / Sarah Shevon scene was uploaded on August 4 and part 2 wasn’t uploaded until September 15.)

I joined this site to see Penny Pax’s scene and not really knowing what to expect of the site overall. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the porn and the technical quality. These guys know what they’re doing.

One thing I expected was that the scenes would be similar to Kink.com but I was wrong. Where Kink has dark and foreboding sets and the hint of menace, Assylum is bright and playful. Yes, I know they tout themselves as featuring rough sex, but it isn’t all that rough. The most common BDSM traits are humiliation and bondage rather than outright pain.

The site’s premise is simple: the models are all patients at an asylum to be treated for their perversions. The asylum’s theory is that if they overload the model with her particular perversions that will cure her. (The good news: it doesn’t seem to work!) The staff are a ‘doctor’ (an older, normal looking guy who wears a mask in all the scenes) and an ‘orderly’ (a younger, more typical porn male). The scenes usually start in the doctor’s office with the model in some sort of bondage. Most scenes shift to a different set where the truly strange stuff happens (and I mean that in a good way). What’s so strange? How about a model with a small shovel handle in her ass made to dig in the dirt? Or Rose Red with her face painted like a clown and wheels tied to her knees, a steering wheel tied to her back and a horn in her mouth made to crawl around like a car all the while the doctor fucks her in the ass? I’ve seen a lot of porn before but nothing quite like this. (I should add here that it really looks like the female models are having a lot of fun.)

Speaking of models, I was also pleasantly surprised that the site gets some A-list talent to appear. As I noted, Penny Pax and Sarah Shevon are here (though Sarah could be seen as a fetish model) as are Calico, Emma Haize, Casey Calvert, Rose Red, Marica Hase and others.

Other common BDSM techniques are also used, like caning, wax play, watersports and suspensions. Also, if you like female on male rimming you’ll see a lot of that too.

The technical aspects of the site are also well done. Videos are available in three sizes (1080p, 720p and 480p). 4K videos are available for an extra cost premium membership. I downloaded the 1080p which are 1920x1080 at 7000kb/s and 24fps. Subjectively they look great on both a 24” monitor and a 50” TV. An issue some may have is that the 1080p files are all fairly large with some at more than 3GB but smaller files are available.

Production values are high with lighting and editing well done. I’d prefer if the camera angles showed more penetration but they are often side-on.

Another innovative feature available is a commentary soundtrack that can be toggled on or off. It’s interesting to hear the model’s thoughts on what’s going on in the scene.

The site’s innovation doesn’t begin and end with the actual scenes. There is a message board where members can make suggestions and comments and it appears that the ‘doctor’ is active on the board and responds to messages. Having such direct contact between the members and the site owners is great and I hope the site owners continue to participate and be responsive to member’s suggestions. Another unique thing about the site is that they have a shop where members can buy props used in the scenes. If you’re hankering for the torn clothes Violet Monroe wore in her scene ($250), the nurse outfit Savannah Fox wore ($150) or an autographed ass mold by Casey Calvert ($300) you’re in luck. You’ll want to act fast on Casey’s ass mold though, because I’m digging through the couch looking for money to buy that.

Obviously this site won’t be for everyone. If your tastes run to couples porn then you’re probably not likely to take out a membership here. But if you like unusual porn with a slightly hard edge but a heavy dose of zany fun then you should consider joining. Even the basic membership is a bit pricey, especially when the (currently) small size is factored in. But given the quality of the videos, the uniqueness of the scenes and the fact that these are exclusive make this a good value. I highly recommend anyone join who likes this kind of porn and I’ll definitely be back many times as the site grows.

pat362 (0) Let me first say thanks for the review. I'm glad you found a site that you enjoy. This is the kind of site that could get a high score from multiple people and it would still get a low score from me because I simply can't enjoy their brand of porn. Here is a partial list of why it would get a low score.

1-There are way too many visible pain marks on the body of the women for me to overlook them or get sexually stimulated.

2-The main character always wears a mask and I can't tell you how much that that annoys me.

3-Too much of their porn is circus acts that I thought was on the way out. I guess there must still be a market for someone to attempt bringing it back.

4-Too much of the porn is designed to demean the women and by default it makes it impossible for me to believe that they enjoy what's being done to them.

This site reminds me of the misogynistic stuff Facial Abuse is known for but here it's may alienate many performer who might otherwise have worked for them thinking it's like Kink. It's not by a long shot.

graymane (Suspended) I'm so mad I could spit nails ....
I went to great lengths to put together a rather long and carefully composed reply to this review.
Dammed if I didn't open up this review today and what do I find?
Somebody else's message written and posted where I thought mind was supposed to be.
I want to blame PU, because this thing's happened on this site a number of times before. But because of the way my computer is suspiciously acting lately, I'm gonna have to figure out a way to kick it's ass.
This only makes me insist on buying my next computer who's exterior comes equipped with an easily visible, well developed ass.
Sorry about the lost reply, partner. Maybe I'll have better luck next time ..........so if you'll excuse me from going further on this rag, I need to get all the anger out this by visiting my medicine cabinet, grab my prescription bottle of feeler-goods, and promptly deposit a couple plump tabs on my tongue and send them speeding down my gullet ......wherein mercifully shortly thereafter this riveting problem will dissolve and I will be comfortably in flight aboard my good ship "euphoria"
I should be expectedly earthbound by midday, wherein all is well and I can get back to my porn.

extremeanalguy (0) Great review! Definitely rougher than most of the stuff out there, but not downright rude and mean like Facial Abuse. I'd say the content is harder and edgier than Kink while still being fun. These guys are brutal but have a sense of humor too, which I really appreciate.

Everything is also really original. Someone said circus acts, and yeah, they have them on a new level. I've never seen a girl getting anally impaled on a pogo stick before. You actually see the pogo stick go and in and out while she's pounded. Or a girl turned into a puppet where the guys pulls on the sticks to move her around and fuck her in different positions. There is some amazing sexual engineering on this site. The more established studios may have bigger, fancier spaces, but these guys have more substance, in my opinion.

The 4K is also awesome. Take a while to download the 4K stuff, because the files are gigantic, but you can always steam while you wait.

elephant (0) Yeah Nice review rearadmiral like always.

I had heard of this site a while back on the massive Sarah Shevon thread on another forum about dvds. She seems to love doing the extreme end and talks openly about it on that thread. Its nice to see some sort of alternative to evilangel and kink doing something a little different. dunno if it will be too extreme for my tastes though, I'll maybe wait till they get some more vids as the price is quite high for a new site.

I love Sarah Shevon but she is very rare and most of the women that do the extreme stuff I tend not to find that attractive, I'm quite a picky bugger.

jook (0) As always, stupendous review!.

I'm considering the 2day trial. I figure I can all the videos in that time if the site is that small. Any thoughts?

The good news is the 2 day trial worked fine... a little pricey for 2 days but one can likely download all the vids in that time.

I downloaded 3 vids and that was enough. I have to agree with many of Pat's remarks. The site was definitely too extreme for me but to each his own. However, the masks, circus-like acts and demeaning acts makes me hope that this site and those like it have a short life.

pat362 (0) REPLY TO #6 - jook :

I just read on another forum comments made by the owner of the site and in case anyone had a doubt that the caning is real than I can confirm that it is because he said that a performers who agree to it will show marks of it on their body. It's not my cup of tea but it's still basically what the stuff Kink was shooting a little less than a decade ago so nothing new. They shoot out of NY so I don't hold a lot of hope that they can survive long term. Flying a California based performer to NY can't be cheap and this kind of porn must also be a little more expensive to shoot because you have to pay the performers more money.

Sorry I'm so late replying to this. If the trial is full it would be a great way to get everything at a low price. The site doesn't have that much up yet so you could download everything. The only real issue is whether the trial is full or not. I don't know that. If you opt to take the trial can you post a comment here to let everyone know if it is full or not?

Yes, as far as I could tell, it allowed full access. I didn't mind paying the hefty price so much (I think it was $10+) since it got me full access and, as you pointed out, I could have easily downloaded everything in the trial time if I wanted.

Thanks for commenting. I agree with you that there is really nothing else like this site. I had planned to spend a month, cancel and then rejoin but I think I'll keep my membership here. The site is small and only updates weekly but the site owner is active on his own message board and on several other forums. I think that bodes well for the site being a success. The site defiantly isn't a cookie-cutter BDSM site.

The Sarah Shevon scene is probably my favorite on the site, but not because I like Sarah (which I do) but because I like Penny Pax even more. What makes the Sarah/Penny scene more interesting is that this is probably the most extreme thing that I've ever seen Penny do. The scene probably didn't push any of Sarah's limits but it probably did push Penny's limits.

I agree that the cost at Assylum is high, but given how unique they are it is still a good value. (And jook just posted that the trial membership is a full trial.)

Thanks for the comments pat. I objectively agree with most of your concerns but subjectively view them differently. I don't think the goal here is to demean the models and it does seem like many of them are enjoying it. I also don't see this as being like Facial Abuse (or Face Fucking as it is now called). Face Fucking is just downright mean and nasty where Assylum isn't. (Off topic, but I wonder why several models go back to Facial Abuse for several shoots knowing what they're getting into.)

pat362 (0) REPLY TO #13 - rearadmiral :

I grant you that face fucking is probably in a class all of it's own and should not be used when describing other sites but some of the stuff assylum does sort of reminds me of the stuff I saw on FF. It doesn't look like they are out to degrade the talent like FF but it is very hard to walk the line when you are shooting some very extreme stuff.

Both sites are located in the North East so far away from California and therefore that may appeal to performers that live in that part of the US and commute to CA when they want to do porn. I think that is one of the reasons why FF is still able to get performers because if they were in the valley than most girls would avoid them like the plague.

As to why some girls shoot more than one scene. I personally think that they accept to shoot for FF more than once because they are in desperate need of cash and foolishly choose to shoot for them a second time. Normal porn is already hard on the performers so I don't want to imagine what an FF shoot must be like.
