Five Reasons to Watch ‘He’s In Charge 5’ (Featured Video)
Almost a decade later, he’s still in charge. Digital Sin‘s snazzy bondage series returns for a fifth volume, debuting today as a GameLink featured video. Check out five reasons to watch He’s In Charge 5. Yes, you will obey.
Flipping the script
Flipping the script on an established bestselling series was Digital Sin’s stated intention when they launched He’s in Charge in 2016. “He’s In ChargeĀ is high-end bondage with the Digital Sin aesthetic fans love,” said a company rep at the time. “Visually, it’s beautiful and the performances are intensely erotic. It makes a perfect companion line for our She’s In Charge series.” She’s in Charge, introduced the previous year, rode the wave of BDSM popularity that was unleashed by 50 Shades of Grey and other mainstream properties at the time. It put the leading ladies in charge, but the follow-up series had men assume the dominant role, returning to the basic dynamic made famous by 50 Shades. The success speaks for itself, in a series that is still thriving eight years after its first installment. (We’d love to see a new edition of She’s In Charge, too, which curiously ended after just two movies.)
The incomparable Brittany Andrews
What’s not to love about Brittany Andrews? She’s been around so long, she can claim numerous all-time classics (hello, Flashpoint) on her lengthy porn resume. Many stars would be receding into an elder statesman role, appearing in non-sex acting gigs, or just signing autographs at the show circuit. Not Brittany! She’s still pushing herself to mighty hardcore heights in challenging roles like the BDSM madness that is He’s In Charge. Though occupying the nominally submissive end of the pairing, she rises up with her usual incomparable screen presence.
Clothespins
Who would have thought a basket of clothespins could be the center of burgeoning eroticism? Big-chest babe Lauren Phillips finds out that they can help walk the line between pleasure and pain when her co-star affixes a few of them to her nipples and labia. When they snap back off, the sound seems to carry a power and force well beyond its modest origins. It’s this mastery of evocative little details that puts He’s In Charge in its own class.
The perfect mood
In classic Digital Sin form, He’s in Charge 5 is a beautifully shot film, from the crisp 4k videography to the artfully decorated sets to the appropriately stark lighting. You really do feel as if you’ve been swept down into the custom-built dungeon or windowless bedroom of a true BDSM fanatic. A less-discussed aspect of the 50 Shades phenom was the fact that its male protagonist was a man of enormous means. A pervading sense of luxury, in ways big and small, has been an essential aspect of some of porn’s most popular modern brands. He’s in Charge masters this element as surely it does the overarching bondage themes.
Sedona Reign’s bondage cage
You know your bondage lair is fully tricked out when it includes a bondage cage large enough to ensnare a lion. Sedona Reign finds herself imprisoned in just such a spot at the outset of her scene, awaiting the orders of her domme. At one point, Reign spits on a mirror within the cage, an effective, artistic foreshadowing of the cumshot to follow later in the sequence. Thankfully, the bars are wide enough to permit plenty of intimacy even before Reign is liberated from her mini-prison. Her co-star maintains a firm hold on her throughout, though, thanks to a choker and chain — yet another instance of the abundant He’s In Charge’s abundant BDSM toy chest.
