Targeted


 Johnny considered himself to be an alpha male, so he felt more than a little embarrassed about his secret obsession with wearing lacy, female underwear. The men he knew were all tough guys, they would want to bitch him if they ever found out about it. So, he put the flimsy garments on in the privacy of his own flat.

The sensation of them on his skin, the sense of skimpiness and allure made him feel so excited, that he was tempted to flaunt himself at the window, rubbing himself against his own reflection in the glass. It was OK, he was on the 5th floor, so no-one would ever see him, but it felt good to imagine them all looking at him, wanting him. 

He let himself get carried away with his fantasy. But suddenly, one day, in the middle of his dreaming, he was startled by an urgent knocking at the door. Whoever could it be at this hour?

This art by Stromo is actually entitled 'Joaquin, practicing social distancing' and dates from the Covid Lockdown era. The image itself is oddly impressionistic, with some pretty weird reflections and a sense of warped, condensed timescales. I've embodied similar distortions into my story, based on the image.

More AI Beach Imagery by Pelonjefe

 Previously:- Beach Bondage by Pelonjefe


  This artist further explores the theme of 'Beach Buddy Bondage' in depth, in a number of videoettes at DeviantArt. I've compiled the sequence below from the 'Beach Boss' series of about a dozen mini videos.
 
Pelonjefe - Beach Boss 1 - Now I understand
 
 A muscle hunk shows a beach loudmouth that he'll not stand for his cat calls and mockery. The contrast in their physiques makes for an unequal domination scenario, and it's subtly underlined by the muscle guy's professional tan and his victim's rosy sunburn. 
 
Now I Understand is actually the last video in the series, as you'll realise if you watch it, but I thought this image made a great starting point too.
 
Pelonjefe - Beach Boss 2 - You Belong On Your Knees

This hunk must be used to being ridiculed, he's bought his bondage kit with him to the beach. In a trice, the offender is securely bound - and he looks bemused and quite upset about it! For me, the tied guy is the more attractive man, but I don't mind in the least, seeing him dominated like this!

View You belong on your knees  

Pelonjefe - Beach Boss 3
 
Making the weaker guy eat sand is a sadistic rerun of the famous Charles Atlas, beach bully scenario. This is the definitive 'Beach Boss' image. See 'I own you' (and others).
 
Pelonjefe - Beach Boss 4 -Let's Get You Wet (1)
 
 The sound the waves surging up the beach is an irresistible lure for the hunk who is (obviously) an expert swimmer, as well as all his other enviable qualities. It isn't obvious that his captive is equally at home in the water, but a dunking is in prospect whether he likes it or not.
 


Pelonjefe - Beach Boss 5 -C'mon Tough Guy
 
Bondage and water are a dangerous combination, and you can never be sure how far a bully is prepared to go once he gets the upper hand. So, even though he's tied up, the victim resists manfully. It needs all the muscle guy's strength to drag him towards the surf. 
 
AI has created a splendid, dynamic image here with the uneven struggle brilliantly reflected in the characters faces.
C'mon Tough Guy is one of the best of this series

Pelonjefe - Beach Boss 6 -Let's Get You Wet (2)
 
The sea beckons. 
 
The outcome of Let's Get You Wet is a little disappointing, but there are plenty of other beach bondage scenarios on this artist's website that point to possible outcomes. 'Fish Food' is as melodramatic as its title but crystallises the worst fears. 
 
Pelonjefe - Jocks v Tides

Jocks v Tides is more genuinely dramatic 
 
Pelonjefe - Consequences On The Beach
 
I'm rather fond of 'Consequences' which hints more at prized finds for beachcombers, rather than dramatic, survival struggles. 
Beautifully neat and sexy.
 
Pelonjefe - Maximum Respect

The captive's nudity here, and the highly professional application of shibari rope-work, suggests a more sinister long term objective. A beach collector looking for a 'keeper' perhaps. But slavers too are everywhere, always on the lookout for unwary hunks!
 

More Pelonjefe domination scenarios and impressive video creations in the next post (non-beach!) 
 
be sure to take advantage of the perks for 'watchers'.

Milism reprint


A reprint of the 'long-lost', 2002, Milism article about Royale Studio by Squaddie John has been added to the mitchmen, Royale Studio blog. 
 
It's a review of Royale's modus operandi slightly jumbled up with references to 'Guys in Uniform'. The narrative is somewhat biased towards spanking but also has useful comments about the UK political and social environment in the 50s and 60s, particularly in relation to members of the armed forces. There's also an interesting postscript about the origins of the so-called British Photographers' collection which was responsible for most of the best quality images we have today (like the one above).
 
I have had to restore the illustrations for the article, drawing on title information and my memory of the site, but there are one or two I'm unsure of, so I'm putting out an appeal to any Royale enthusiast who remembers the original article at Milism, to check my reprint and see if they can help with picture identities.
 
My thanks to Squaddie John for giving me permission to re-post it.

Beach Bondage by Pelonjefe

Another videoette illustrating the impressive potential of AI

 Subscribers to the 'Follow Me' feed need to visit the mitchmen blog to see the video - sorry!
 
 'Hold Your Breath'
 
This piece seems like an innocent-seeming jape between buddies, but an underlying sense of control, threat and submission is brought out in the dialogue. Like the 'Sailor Punishments' of Miloinvinculis, it exploits the visual impact and uncontrollable threat posed by the power of the sea. 
 
 
AI can be relied upon to produce hunky actors - with attractive, contrasting characterisations in this case. In the detail, there's a delightful pair of backless Speedos to feast upon (and speculate about a follow-up).
 
The brevity of the piece and humorous misalignment of the spoken words shows there's a way to go before AI can be properly controlled by its creator.

New Additions to the Royale blog

Royale Studio - The Arrest 2 

The 24 picture series, 'The Arrest' is one of the most complete surviving sets by Royale - although there are some intriguing discontinuities that hint at a much bigger epic! 

A story of bullying, it's notable for its abundant imagery of men in tight shorts, with a good deal of wrestling action and spanking too is represented.

All this and a mystery, 'lost' series. 

 

Royale Studio - Scout Recruit

If you appreciate spanking imagery, there's an abundance of it in The Scout Recruit and more tight shorts. If you think Scouting is a pastime for boys you'll be surprised at the men in this story, another long one of 24 images.


 

Brian Lamprill by Vic White 04

There's some stunning imagery of Brian Lamprill filling a white pouch in images by Vic White, that supplement his career with Royale. Links to more sets at Brian Lamprill's Profile Page.

 

A full list of available Royale and Hussar sets can be seen in the sidebar of the Royale-Hussar blog. Plus news of the latest additions.
