ClubDom

Club Dom is a hardcore premium porn site that creates and hosts a huge variety of fetish and BDSM content, usually with a female domination (femdom) theme. The site was one of the forerunners of paid fetish porn online—having been founded over two decades ago, in 1997—but to this day it remains actively updated. The site currently boasts a collection of nearly three thousand videos and over three hundred photosets, making it one of the world’s premier choices for exclusive BDSM porn.

In The Club

Club Dom follows the typical industry standard when it comes to the presentation of its library, but the site’s execution in doing so is so excellent that this is a pro rather than a con. By default, you’ll see page after page of porn thumbnails, alongside titles, release dates, and ratings. Mousing over each scene will show you a few different screengrabs—a few more or even a short video preview would be nice, but it’s usually enough to get an idea of what the video is all about.

The site has far more hits than misses when it comes to the quality of its porn, so this default method might work well enough for you. That being said, if it doesn’t, Club Dom is not short on alternative browsing and navigational options. You can switch the sorting method into reverse chronological order, popularity (and, if for some reason you want to, reverse popularity), as well as an alphabetical sort.

For those looking to explore a certain aspect of the site, the Categories tab is probably a better bet. Club Dom has a wider range of kinks and fetishes than many sites, so it’s good that they didn’t drop the ball on this feature. You can easily jump to videos containing bondage, chastity, electroshock, femdom, and many other niches with just a couple of clicks, and then sort those sections just as you can the catalog as a whole.

Club Dom has a similar section containing each of its models called the Mistresses Tab. This can be sorted and scrolled through just like the video listings. Clicking on any model will bring you to a page listing each of their videos and photoshoots on the site—a perfect way to take in everything that your chosen actress has starred in, all at once.

All of these features come together perfectly with Club Dom’s powerful and well-executed advanced search function. This allows you to combine title searches, description searches, upload dates, and tags to quickly search through the site’s entire catalog to find the perfect video. You can even exclude certain words—which might not seem like a big deal, but on a site with polarizing fetish content like Club Dom, it really is. If you’re into small penis humiliation, pegging, or dirty feet, the advanced search function will help you find them with ease—but if those things turn you off, it will just easily help you avoid them.

The playback page itself has about all the information that you could hope for. Each video has a long narrative description, a link to each cast member’s list of scenes, and a link to each tag. To top things off, Club Dom serves up a series of recommended videos. Powered by the accurate tags and detailed descriptions, this works pretty much perfectly when it comes to suggesting high-quality, relevant videos. Screen captures for each video are also available via a tab at the top of the page.

Some of the older videos in the catalog are shot in a merely sufficient resolution, while everything uploaded in the past few years is in a very impressive full high definition. None of the videos are unwatchable, but the recent ones in particular shine when it comes to their detail and clarity.

Amazingly for a site as old as Club Dom, new content is uploaded no less than five times a week—and, occasionally, even this high standard is topped. The site works identically regardless of the device that you use to access it. This might seem like a given, but it’s sometimes not the case for porn sites that were started prior to the proliferation of mobile internet, so it’s good to see that Club Dom has kept up with the times.

Each and every video on the site is downloadable in your choice of format, too, as are individual photos and zip folders of entire photoshoots. This can be useful if you want to view the content on the media player of your choice, to save videos for times when you don’t have internet access, or even to keep your favorite scenes after you allow your membership with Club Dom to lapse.

Paying Your Club Fees

Many porn sites that produce large amounts of unique content but aren’t affiliated with major studios are required to charge relatively high prices in order to stay profitable, and Club Dom follows this trend. That’s not to say that the site is overpriced—the quality of Club Dom’s content and the ease of use of the site make sure that that isn’t the case—but rather a warning that you won’t find bargain-basement prices here. If you want the good stuff, you’ll have to shell out to get it.

The options here are somewhat limited. There are technically four membership choices, but each of the two major plans is matched by another so similar as to practically cut your selections in half. For one-month plans, you can spend forty dollars to access a non-recurring membership, or save just about four dollars a month if you elect to allow your membership to renew automatically. The savings here are fairly minimal, but they do add up over time, so this recurring plan is worth considering if you plan on staying with Club Dom for a while.

Likewise for the three-month plans. A three-month membership that automatically cancels upon completion costs one hundred dollars (unfortunately, hardly a discount at all compared to the shorter-term plan), while allowing this quarterly subscription to renew automatically drops the price a little bit further. This, the cheapest plan, will run you a one-time fee of just about eighty-five dollars, or equivalent to about twenty-eight dollars per month.

No matter which plan you choose, the remainder of the sign-up process will be the same. You can pay by one of several credit cards, or via bank transfer. In each case, the third-party payment processor will ensure that your membership is billed under a discreet name.

You’ll also be offered two memberships to other porn sites as a part of the checkout process. Thankfully, unlike many sites, these offers are unchecked by default, meaning you’re far less likely to get roped into them accidentally. That being said, they’re reasonably good rates for reasonably good porn sites, so it’s worth checking them out as well to see if they catch your eye.

The pricing of Club Dom calls its value into question. Yes, the site itself is almost uniquely excellent, but it also comes with an exceptionally high price point. Club Dom’s cheapest plan costs about what most site’s most expensive option does, and you could even afford memberships at three of those other sites for the same price as a subscription to Club Dom, if you’re choosing their long-term affordable plans. While it’s difficult to directly compare relative values, the pricing of Club Dom is one point that goes against its favor in receiving Pornsites.com’s recommendation.

There is an alternative, however. If you like the idea of Club Dom but the price is too high for you to swallow, non-members can opt to purchase individual videos from the site’s Video on Demand page. While this could quickly and easily grow to be more expensive than an all-you-can-watch membership, this a-la-carte pricing might prove to be the frugal option for others. Videos can cost anywhere between two and fifteen dollars, depending on both on the length of the scene and the resolution that you choose, while photoshoots tend to average between two and five dollars each—for a number of pics.

Is It Worth It?

The only important question that remains with Club Dom is its value. If the site were free, it would be undeniably excellent. The videos are hot, the content is unique and varied, and the site design, while perhaps not beautiful, perfectly allows users to find exactly what they’re looking for quickly and easily.

But the site isn’t cheap. And it’s not that it’s just not cheap with short-term memberships—unlike pretty much every other premium porn site, you can’t even significantly reduce the price by joining up for six months or a year. No matter how long you’d like to be a member of Club Dom, you won’t unlock a price option around ten dollars per month like you so often do elsewhere. On top of that, they don’t offer a trial membership, so you can’t take a few days to evaluate the site first-hand.

Ultimately, whether or not the site is worthwhile despite the cost depends on your own personal preferences. If you’re mostly into vanilla porn but occasionally dip into fetish and BDSM sites, you may be better served by a cheaper porn site in that niche, even if it isn’t quite as good. For hardcore BDSM fans, however, Club Dom is so excellent that it gets Pornsites.com’s recommendation in the face of its high and inflexible pricing structure.
