The Upper Floor Review

Inspired by the French erotic novel, The Story of O, The Upper Floor welcomes you to one of the most exciting 24/7 experiences on the web. This is no ordinary hardcore porn and BDSM site and this is exactly part of the overall thrill and charm. Here you can experience real lifestyle BDSM with an authentic community of people in a unique venue. While all the slaves-in-training appear to be women, there are a variety of roles for all participants and multiple Masters and Mistresses rule supreme for your pleasure.

Initially, the site seems a bit overwhelming. There is simply so much to do and see around here that it seems difficult to choose where to go first. Upcoming live shows and most recent updates are what you'll come across first, though. It looks like updates are every week and live shows are every six days, but there is also a section called 'free cams'. As the site says, this is a 24/7 experience and the free cams are live feeds into the armory where the slave training takes place. Whether you come across any action will depend on where you are and what time you visit. The armory is located in San Francisco, which is Pacific Time. Being in the vicinity of GME Time, everyone was sleeping during my visit, but it's a really cool way to keep track of things on The Upper Floor.

When not peaking in with the free cams, there is plenty to keep you occupied. There aren't bonus sites, but there is a community forum and to date there are 286 Upper Floor shoots and roughly 315 raw footage videos, which are basically all of the live shows you might have missed. It is a lot to sift through. You can sort the episodes and scenes by date, comment or rating and there is a list of categories. The categories basically pinpoint the age range, ethnicity and physical features of the models. I'd like to see this expanded to include main theme categories like brunches, dinners, house parties or slave initiations and service sessions, as some examples. However, I didn't really feel lost at any time.

In order that you get a better feel for what is going on at The Upper Floor, the welcome message provides links so you can discover more about the armory and about the overall mission of The Upper Floor. In a section called 'Meet The House' you can explore the hierarchy, learn more about the various roles within the house, you'll find a map of the upper floor and there are some biographies.

The quality of TheUpperFloor content is similar to all the other Kink.com sites. However, since the site revolves around the 24/7 experience, many things are live and no one stops to pose for pictures. There are screen grabs, though. Videos can be streamed in three different qualities, all of which are smooth. Downloads include an average quality WMV, an iPod/iPad compatible option and high-quality WMV and MP4 options. The high-quality screen sizes for both formats is 1280x720, while the bitrates for the WMV are lower than the 3200kbps to 5000kbps of the MP4s. However, either the WMVs or MP4s are worth downloading. Production values are excellent and sound and image are clean and clear.

Final Verdict

The Upper Floor is more of a total experience than it is a simple BDSM porn site. There is an active community here and you can also play an active part in the live shows, although you should check out the participation rules in this case because there are a few and some are fairly strict. You'll find more than enough to watch here, but I'd suggest joining to get involved with the community because it is one of a kind and thrilling. The action revolves around a 24/7 household, so expect plenty of kinky brunches, uniform and costume parties and BDSM slave training at every turn. The price of admission into the exclusive Upperfloor may be a little expensive to some people, but the adventure and the overall thrill is worth it.
