Rugby AI Art by Remixing Reality 1

 

Remixing Reality - Rugby Buns, Magazine Cover 1

 Remixing Reality is clearly a fan of rugby men, as am I. There are dozens of rugby images at his site on Tumblr, and I've selected a few of my favourites for this review.
 
Naturally, the rugby men in his team are obliged to wear the tightest and skimpiest of shorts, and they do it with the showy pride you'd expect. The magazine cover mock-up, illustrated above, is a widely used, AI format, I've found nearly 50 of them on his site, featuring a variety of male types and ages in rugby kit. 
 
Recently, he's been turning some of the best ones into short videoettes in which the models perform for our pleasure, showing off their best assets, revealing what's underneath and flexing muscle. The result is a pleasing illusion of personal intimacy.

This guy above is very cute, coyly vampish in this video realisation. There are three other examples of him posing.

This more mature model is at the opposite end of the physique and age scales. Crouching in wet shorts, which are so tiny they look incongruous on such a big man, but it doesn't make them any less sexy. He's not been animated yet, but I am hopeful he will be.

Remixing Reality - New Awareness

Posing for these magazine, publicity images encouraged the players to think about their bodies in a new way. 

And those of their team-mates! 

 

Remixing Reality - New Kit

Some club owners went further and ordered new kit in the latest fabric to show off their player's physiques. Most of the team embraced the new look, but some secretly had their doubts, thinking that maybe the kit was a little too revealing and the new style of team photograph a little too intimate. You could feel the difference up close.

 

Remixing Reality - Training in New Kit 1

Photographs which were taken during training sessions in the new kit, 
underlined the new muscular image of these clubs.

They won a lot of enthusiastic new fans. Other people were left wondering if maybe they were just a little too candid. 

 

 

Remixing Reality - Celebration Huddle

 It's usual to celebrate scoring with a team huddle, less so in rugby than in soccer games. Perhaps that's because there's already a lot of close physical contact in rugby. 

Players focussed on the game may not quite realise how their skimpy, tight gear amplifies the intimacy here. You couldn't blame anyone if they were tempted to touch a teammate in a different way (right). But don't think he won't notice, those shorts are soooo thin!

 

Remixing Reality - The Kicker's Iconic Legs

Surprisingly, for a sport that's all about carrying the ball, it's good kicking that frequently makes the difference in rugby and wins the game. So it's understandable that the team want to celebrate the remarkable legs that have propelled them to victory. 
 
(We can admire them too, albeit for slightly different reasons! You might even dream of hanging the hunk up by them. Well I do).
 
Muddy clothes have rarely looked this good.

 

Remixing Reality - Rugby Celebration Kiss
 
A hard match has been won and two teammates share their elation and relief. Gay spectators may imagine their mutual admiration becoming something more.

Afterwards in the dressing room, a tantalising smile. 
What can it mean?

Tips For Your Holiday - No 11

 

Pony Training by AMG
 

Tip: Don't get carried away with your holiday romance 

Trey thought he'd found the man of his dreams when he met Francesco in a gay bar, while on holiday in the Mediterranean. Francesco was handsome and muscular and Trey discovered at their first encounter that he had a taste for bondage too. His name meant 'free man' he explained as he tied Trey up. In fact, Trey spent the rest of his holiday tied up in Francesco's villa in the mountains, some distance from the gay resort. 

It was a thrilling experience, alternating periods of isolation with nights of torrid sex, all in restraint. Francesco fed him and looked after him and was as free with his affection as he was with his discipline. Trey wanted for nothing - except his clothes, which Francesco had confiscated. Instead he dressed Trey in a succession of sexy garments that turned both of them on. 

Inevitably, he missed his flight home, but he was having such a good time that it didn't seem to matter. Francesco was great about it, he collected Trey's belongings from his hotel and sent messages to his friends and employer explaining that he'd been unavoidably delayed. 

Francesco even produced a camera and began taking pictures of Trey to post on his social media so hat everyone would know he was OK. Trey wasn't sure pictures of him in bondage were entirely appropriate but, hey, he was living the dream and at this point had no plans to go back home.

 After a month the euphoria subsided, Francesco seemed less attentive and he began to bring in other men that he'd picked up. t first that rekindled the dying embers of their strange relationship. Sharing his bondage with other guests excited Trey and he didn't even mind when he was relegated to watching the other two. But eventually he came to feel increasingly neglected and the incarceration began to chafe.

Francesco  was great about it when he grumbled, reassuring him and promising him a special treat. The very next day he gave Trey new briefs that felt very expensive and sexy. He also returned his trainers, announcing that they were going out for a jaunt. Trey was thrilled. He was released and taken outside and felt the sun on his skin for the first time in weeks. An even better gift awaited him - a cart which was to be their transport for the jaunt. 

Trey was a bit deflated when Francesco explained that it would be his job to pull the cart, but he couldn't argue with Francisco's assertion that he needed the exercise. Besides Francesco's use of whip made it seem like another fun, role play scene. Trey felt wanted again and happy.

The jaunt turned out to be a shopping expedition to the nearest village. Trey felt very uncomfortable minding the cart while Francesco did the shopping. The locals gave him some very odd looks and made jokes which he didn't understand. He felt doubly disappointed when Francesco returned with the shopping but promptly disappeared into a bar for another hour.

He bit his tongue when Francesco returned and glumly turned the cart to take them home. It was uphill all the way and very steep in places. Trey began to grumble and the wearier he got the more he complained. Francesco responded by using the whip on him mercilessly. Trey couldn't escape because he was hitched to the cart. Back at the house he was locked up in isolation as punishment.

Suddenly Trey wanted to go home, it had all gone wrong, but how could he? Francesco wouldn't let him leave. He had no clothes, no money, no phone and didn't speak the language. He was trapped. Tears rolled down his face. It had turned out the worst holiday ever.

Trey's friends and family did wonder about him when the social media account dried up, but he had seemed to be having a good time so there was no need to worry really, was there?

Update to 'Fishing is a Dangerous Sport'

Brochure Image for 'Fishing is a Dangerous Sport'

A recent post at the 'Exclusively Etienne' Group* has enabled me to update my article showcasing 'Fishing Is A Dangerous Sport', a little-known storyette by Stephen (aka Etienne). The re-discovery of 'Image 1' means that we now have good copies of four and a half of the six in the series. You'll see what I mean by 'a half' if you read the article to the end.

Art by Darksitesm82

 

Bango 136 by Darksitesm82
 

This artist shows that you don't need AI if you have photoshop skills and a great imagination. That plus a supremely sexy base image, tantalisingly cropped. 

 

Worker01-44 by Darksitesm82

Another straining physique teleported from a sporting event to eternal purgatory. The title is a reference to a base image which lacks the embellishment with multiple torments. 

 

Slave Line-Up* (ae022) by Darksitesm82

Many of this artist's images have this blurry, art finish, but the inventiveness of the scenario is crystal clear. 

 

Consolation* (arr0032) by Darksitesm82

An innocent gesture from a sporting competition becomes an encounter with deeper meaning and true pathos when placed in the context of muscle slavery.

 

Bango 01-025 by Darksitesm82

These images are reminiscent of the old Chained Muscle site which I think is gone now, although I have come across attempts to revive it.

 

Desert Trek* (bs00-001) by Darksitesm82

Another variation on the popular 'Slave Train' theme (see labels at foot of post for more). The splendid horseman has been borrowed from a movie, he looks like a Star Wars character. I might have gone to see one if they had scenes like this. More desert walker than Skywalker. 

 

Are We There Yet?* (t004-0007) by Darksitesm82

This one clearly isn't a trek across a desert, but a jaunt through a jungle, which puts different pressures on the sweaty unfortunates in tow. 

 

Roman Punishment* by Darksitesm82

When Romans get you, you know a cross is likely to feature at some point if you misbehave. It certainly makes a great display device for your knick-knacks. 

 

Slave Uniform* (es00-0001) by Darksitesm82

The jock must always be cut low enough to give a glimpse of the contents without spilling. Most recruits need posture training so they don't get above themselves.

 

Shopping Trip* by Darksitesm82

Whenever I sent my husband to buy groceries at the market he always came back with something that wasn't on the list. 'Just thought it would come in useful' was his usual excuse. 

Sometimes it did!

 

Slave Training* by Darksitesm82

When s slave looks you in the eye, you know he's going to cause problems, but you have to admire their spunk. I insist.

 

Heave Lads!* (ms112) by Darksitesm82

Still not in paid employment, but at least they're not on benefits.

 

Imagine The Scene by Darksitesm82

Tony decided he'd never understand women.

Royale Studio's 'The Wallet' in colour

Royale's shocking storyette about a bar room thief
(now in colour for the first time).

A muscular sailor turns his back on a leather-clad stalker, who wants to rob him
Royale Studio - The Wallet 03 (colourised by mitchmen)
 

I have posted a complete, colourised version of 'The Wallet' at the Gallery. It's accompanied by a bare outline of the plot with no commentary. This is the earliest Royale story with a genuine, dramatic plot line. It's come down to us complete and though the images are not of the finest quality, the story has come up well in colour. 

'The Wallet' stars Ron Fenn (aka the Tough Schoolmaster) and Ian McAllister (co-star in TEDS). As you might guess from the picture above, it's about a pickpocket, but there's a surprising, shocking climax. The hidden subtext makes it one of Clavering's more political statements about the plight of gay men in 50s Britain (discussed in the black and white article, link below).
