ADV-R0169 - Artistic Bondage: Natsumi Shirakawa's Sensual Restraint

The whole thing is sluggish and the foreplay is lackluster. I think it's only worth watching from the 68-minute mark onwards.

*Is Ms. Shirakawa a truly beautiful married woman with a calm personality? I think the blame was not enough. I like Akira Naka's criticism, but...

While other entries in this series often feature retro Japanese-style settings, this one goes for a Western vibe. The bondage work is solid, but there isn't really a standout scene. The red fundoshi and red gag towards the end feel a bit out of place, too. The side-suspension looks awkward when she's lying on her back, and the inverted suspension isn't very aesthetic with her knees bent. Not one of the better ones in the series. 80 points.

The bondage scenes in the first half with the clothes on, and the way the rope dug into the lingerie, were excellent. The candle play in the second half wasn't really my thing, though.

As an S-type male who enjoys physical pain, I liked that it focused entirely on bondage, suspension, candle play, and whipping, without any unnecessary scenes like vibrators, sex, or fellatio. However, the first half felt a bit lacking, as it was just 'tie them up, hang them, and that's it.' The second half was fresh, though; transitioning from a horizontal suspension to an inverted one by loosening the chest ropes must have been terrifying for the performer, which made for a compelling watch.
