Make 'em Work by zso72

 If you're going to own men, I'm a great believer in making them work for their keep. Sure, they are great for bed warming and dungeon entertainments, but that's not a full time job exactly is it? They need to be kept in good condition and fully occupied. This artist has plenty of ideas how to do it.

Working the fields is an occupation as old as time for possessed men. It gives them plenty of fresh air and a creative occupation.

 What better way is there to make new friends and learn about teamwork than sharing a ploughshare harness? It's a great way to keep those sexy glutes in good shape for the owner's night work, too.

 Domestic duties are a useful filler when the men are officially off-duty. Wood collecting gets them out of the house for an hour or so and a chance to be on their own. Well almost on their own. It's also an opportunity for the men who have the thankless of overseeing them to relax a bit and develop closer relationships.

 A wise owner should keep an eye on his men from time to time and learn about them, discover their personalities. Don't rely on subordinates to do everything. Praise the men, make them feel appreciated and wanted. In fact watching them work often stimulates appreciating them later on.

There's no better way to learn about one of your men than to go out for a ride together. Make sure he's dressed nicely so it will impress your neighbours and provide a point of interest for yourself when the scenery gets a bit repetitive. Go easy on the whip if you're planning to attend to him afterwards, the house keeper won't thank you for bloody sheets.

Every man should have a hobby and most of them like to participate in sporting activities. 
Team games are particularly good for their mental and physical health. You'd be surprised how happy they will be when they beat your neighbour's best 'two in hand' in a Roman Mile. After that, inviting them into the bedchamber for a two in hand, extra mile, won't seem anywhere near as challenging.

What more glorious sight is there to compare with a team of sweaty hunks manhandling a cart through the streets of Rome on a hot, sunny day? All those muscles your men have developed will come in handy for a bit of DIY. A new ballroom for the Villa perhaps, to replace the dull, East Wing you inherited from the previous owner. Every man of position should have a big ballroom, even if they only have small balls.

 Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day, someone has to quarry the stones and it's hard work. These men probably don't need to be reminded that pumping thighs is part of their job description, 24/7. They may take solace in the fact that, so many labourers are owned by the Quarry Master that he doesn't have time to attend to them all personally, and he only has his friends in for a 'boy's night' once a fortnight.
 
 
zso72 - Roman Slaves Working In A Quarry

Not every man is built to carry great hunks of rock but it's a good idea to give those men in your keep, who normally perform more 'decorative' roles, a taste of hard labour now and again. What you might call levelling down. It's good, not only for their humility but for their sense of self-worth as a man. Hard work never did anyone any harm, we're told, but it's advisable to tailor their load to reflect the capabilities their genes gave them.

Tolerance is all well and good, but at the end of the day, a man who fails to do his job properly and spills his load in a public place must be dealt with appropriately.These guys know they are in for it. Or more probably, a punishment instrument will be in for them.

These slaves are fortunate in that their Master prefers to maintain discipline himself, rather than leaving it to underlings. That way ensures there is no unwanted collateral damage and the offenders can return to work afterwards, albeit with a slight limp. Nevertheless, these two know that a dressing down is the least that is going to happen to them. In fact on past form, they'll probably be asked to dress up. Their master has a thing about gladiator helmets.
 
 
zso72 - Roman Slaves Turning The Wheel

Some masters have perfected ways of punishing miscreants with pointless exercises that frustrate them as they try to work out how the contraption operates. It attracts continuous punishment as they inevitably fail. It all helps build up their muscles, however, which is just as well because they will be expected to make up for lost time when they are back on the job.

Away from the big city life is much simpler, they call a spade a spade and a man who behaves like a dog ends up pulling a dog cart. It's rumoured that the labourers in this establishment adore their hunky master so much that they consider it an honour to pull him. A trip into town, though, is a lot harder on the knees than giving personal service.

This master is a man with a penchant for putting his men into harness. He's a hard master, harsh when he needs to be, but fair. His men love being under him, feeling his magical touch.

Muscle Slave Nightmare


 above:Video of Suspended Muscle Slave

 There's no worse punishment for a muscle slave than to be kept from following his natural instinct, which is to sweat and toil over heavy labour. They can't bear inactivity, so when they are assigned to dungeon duty, they struggle and moan.

 Torment of the day (apart from the Master's usual, annoying interference) is a jock-strap made of thick leather which can be filled with all sorts of discomforting things if the slaves don't feel up to filling it themselves.

A shipboard flogging by zso72

This story in pictures uses the power of AI to recreate a punishment on a Royal Navy ship in the 18th century. It is a modern day storyette in the best traditions of the 60s, Royale Studio whose creator, Basil Clavering was much interested in the history of flogging in the British armed services.

 A hungry (hunky) sailor is caught red-handed by the ship's Captain, stealing precious, bread rations while the ship is mid-ocean. 

It's a serious offence.

The Captain condemns the offender to immediate punishment.
He is seized by the Mate and a senior seaman and marched away from the scene of the crime. 

The seamen are dressed identically so even though it's not a recognisable uniform, I assume this is military not a merchant ship.

 They don't go far, an iron collar is secured around the unfortunate seaman's neck and he is shackled to the main-mast, with hands above his head, ready for punishment. The Captain gazes at his pert backside, as if contemplating a very different course of action.

There's no time for dilly-dallying, the Mate has fetched his whip.
He lays it fiercely across the seaman's back. 
The crew have gathered to watch the punishment. 
They are largely unsympathetic, it's their bread he was stealing.

As the punishment continues, his grunts get louder and more strained, but stony faces surround him.

 Finally it ends. The Mate releases his wrists and he sinks to his knees before the Captain, showing his contrition. He's got off lightly, punishments running into hundreds of lashes were not uncommon in the British Navy.
 
But it may not be all over quite yet. He's still in that collar and the Captain's looking at his ass again.

MaxMini - A muddy slave being scrubbed clean after work

Watch the Video (below)

 

MaxMini - A muddy slave being scrubbed clean after work
 
This video is a refreshing glimpse of a slave being treated well, he is scrubbed clean by an attendant, after a hard day's work in the fields or the stables. 
 
MaxMini - Slave Pulling a Cart

 Men pulling carriages, like ponies turn up fairly regularly in S&M collections and there's a well-known photo by AMG that I used recently. However, this for me is a more interesting, more serious take. The military uniform of the cart driver seems to imply that this slave is a POW. Although this artist is interested in slaves as objects of desire, he portrays them as physical workers.
 
MaxMini - Slave Carrying Rocks Uphill

This is an example of the kind of hard labour envisaged. 
After a day in a dusty quarry, he'll need that wash-down. 
 
All the images shown here are represented by short videos at the artist's website (link at foot of post) 
 
 
MaxMini - Slave Pulling A Chariot

 Cart pulling adapted to a Roman context in front of an audience. It's not clear if this is a form of punishment, part of a race or pure entertainment for the crowd.
 
MaxMini - Slave Ploughing a Paddy Field

There's a predominantly oriental flavour to this artists work so it's not surprising for him to depict a typical oriental scenario like this. I'm not clued up on the science of cultivating paddy fields, but I think they use oxen normally. Big beasts! The water obviously elevates the intensity of the labour. 
 
If this were the work of a western artist, he might attract flak for the stereotypical straw hat, but it's obviously authentic. 
 
MaxMini - Video of Pec Manipulation
 
The artist's interest in pecs, depicted as sensual, near-worship in the video at the top of this post, morphs into something more serious in a long series of videos featuring a post bound slave being tormented in a variety of ways with fingers and in more exotic ways.

Rugby AI Art by Remixing Reality 2

 Continued from Part 1
Remixing Reality - Rugby Rain Huddle 

I've published this picture before, at 'X', but I make no apologies for doing so again. I love the tight kit, the unselfconscious, intimate huddling and the glorious mixture of facial expressions of these handsome, hunky men, wilting in the face of a totally absurd threat. It truly lives up to the motto of this site of 'putting men in their place' but it's not usually as easy as making them wear tight shorts in the rain!

If you don't like my caption spoiling the view,
here's the untainted original
. 
Remixing Reality - Penalty Rugby
 
In this variant, the guys huddle together, watching to see if a vital penalty kick will go over and score the winner. Rarely can so many pert puckers have gone to waste! 
 
There are lots of sexy images in this vein at the artist's website 
(link below).    
 
 
Remixing Reality -The Scorer's Reward

The scorer of the winning goal gets to keep the match ball and earn the adulation of his team-mates who queue up for the opportunity to worship their idol. Being voted 
'Man of the Match' by them may well entail the offer of more balls, judging by the general air of enthusiasm on the part of some. The furtive look of the mega-hunk bringing up the rear of the committee suggests something more earthy.  

   

Remixing Reality - Rugby Buns Exposed

Occasionally mishaps happen with shorts in rugby. When they happen on the training field there's an opportunity for mischievous teammates to have some fun. Especially when it's the handsome, popular team captain who's been accidentally (?) de-bagged. He has to take it all in good spirit.

 

Remixing Reality - Rugby Buns Touched

When shorts loss happens during a match, it's different, there's normally a swift correction. However, if you convince rugby players of the marketability of their backsides and encourage them to display them with confidence, there's always a risk that they will become naughty, even in front of the home crowd. A crowd that may well swell when word about this gets out!
 

Remixing Reality -Mooning Rugby Player

Inevitably, someone will go too far, but there may be consequences for them. This image suggests it's own consequence. One that might be applied by the angry Trainer off the field....
 
 
Remixing Reality - Join The Queue (my title)

Mass spanking of grown men, it couldn't happen in real life. 
Could it? 
 

Rugby Player in tiny shorts Arrested by Cops (Remixing Reality)
Remixing Reality - Rugby Player Arrested

There's risk of worse if someone complains to the cops. Rugby players are noted for their occasional bad behaviour, but this one's obvious remorse is less typical. Perhaps the cops are reminding him of the perils of incarceration, especially for cute young men in skimpy shorts. Their sheer muscular 'presence' is intimidating in itself. 

  The pleasing filling of the player's tight shirt in this image reflects a welcome modern development of the rugby player's image. There's evidence of an equally weighty presence in his shorts too, but in general this artist is less willing to create tightly-wrapped contours at the front, than he is at the back. 

 

Remixing Reality - Imaginary Magazine Cover

The club don't need cops to express extreme their displeasure, as this fantasy image suggests. The ultimate sanction is the world of sport's curious interpretation of dismissal. Can't let all that money we spent on him go to waste!  It's hard to tell if the player himself is pleased at the prospect of a life in service or merely bemused.
 
The sale idea is suggested within the artist's original but I have elaborated it somewhat.

Gym Machines


 Some gym jocks can be a pain, believing their obsession entitles them to priority on the gym machines, outranking ordinary users, especially nerdy, college types. This one pushed aside a particularly inventive student of mechanical engineering who brought his own gym machine along to the place a few days later. There were plenty of other frustrated users around that day who were more than happy to show the jock how to use this new device - whether he wanted to or not. It targeted muscle groups that he'd long neglected and I understand the results were impressive and immediate, not to mention entertaining, to all concerned. Bar one.

I don't know who the artist is, I found this picture at Kinky Callum but I don't think it's by him. Spankomatic is almost a Franco trademark, but this isn't by him either. (See index of Franco at mitchmen).
