Beautifully Bound - Seamus O'Reilly

Seamus O'Reilly seems to have become resident 'ginge' at Bound Gods, taking over from the wicked Luke Riley (whose kidnap scene with Phenix Saint in Hicksville still stirs the juices).


O'Reilly's lean frame seems too fragile for S&M torment but is beautifully showcased by this bondage package. I've been a fan of doubled back leg restraint ever since my first sight of it (in My Initiation). The multiple windings employed here add artistic emphasis to the immobilisation and are nicely complemented by the compact chest and wrist combo on the upper body. This boy ain't goin' anywhere and he is forced to kneel submissively, acknowledging that situation.


The blurred movement of the lash and O'Reilly's anguished expression conveys a tale of unwanted punishment. This model's lightness of build suggests innocence but his impressive 'cock in a sling' seems to tell a different story, even if it does seem to be flinching away from the blows.



At one time the prisoner incarcerated for years on end, hanging by chains against a wall was a favourite subject for tabloid cartoonists. The prisoner's predicament here doesn't seem that funny but the simplicity of this spreadeagled restraint - naked of course against the cold, bare, brick wall - seems to accentuate his utter vulnerability.

 This is the only picture in this article where Seamus is gagged and given the grip of iron on his balls perhaps he needs it. The atmospheric photography makes his pubes look as if they are on fire.


This wouldn't normally be my idea of 'beautifully bound', there's too much clutter. However this shot does bring out O'Reilly's natural beauty, showing us a sweet face and impressive thighs, etc.  His ginger pubes are drawn down into a useful arrow shape telling you where to look. The ankle binding is another nice detail.

The restraint chair itself is neat, it forces the body into an open pose that is totally defenceless. The rope collar pushing the chin up amplifies that effect.

Suspension poses can make for the most spectacular of bondage images and Bound Gods does some of the best, but I'm not sure about this one. Visually the captive's legs seem neither together nor apart and they are only half folded back, looking a little loose and untidy. What this picture does capture very well, however, is the impression of being suspended above a terrifying, dark, deep abyss.


It's been a long day in the dungeon and a shaky Seamus has to steady himself against the wall.

And so to bed. A bare cell, a rude bed, a length of chain.
The prisoner sleeps, seeming to be resigned to his fate. 
This image is very understated but the message of captivity, so simply conveyed,
is arguably the most powerful of them all.

I'm planning a few more posts featuring Seamus in the coming weeks
a sort of mini-hunk hunt - Part 2
