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!

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.

Guys in Uniform - 1 - Double Discipline (Part 'B')

Continued from Part 'A' 

 

Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline B01

The two men under punishment have now put on snug-fitting singlets (or vests) with impersonal numbers on the back. The Instructor has ordered them to lie down, leaving their shorts still lowered, so that their backsides are visible. It's the horizontal equivalent of facing the wall, a psychological rebuke, expressing rejection and isolation. The punisher has put away his cane, but I imagine his tongue can sting these men almost as well.

This photo has a curious composition, with the protagonists confined to the boundaries and a vast empty space filling most of the picture (which I have filled with logos out of desperation!) It is taken from a magazine, part of a montage in which another, overlapping image filled much of that space, see below. The combination of upright and prone figures in a picture is a challenge for any photographer, as Royale Studios also found. However, it seems surprising that the photos seem to have been taken with that marketing scheme in mind. The original photo may amount to more than this, of course, and not be so awkwardly cropped.

 

Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline B02

In the second picture the men have changed out of their shorts altogether, leaving them crumpled at the feet of No 4.  No 3's singlet is very close-fitting, he continues to be the more striking of the pair.

The second stool, last seen in image A03 has been reintroduced. 

 

Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline B03

The two men are ordered to sit on the stools. The corded seats quickly bring new discomfort to their just-caned bottoms. The instructor stands watching them with hands on hip, as if waiting for something. They just hang their heads. Their overhanging bottoms make a strikingly original, teasing image. As if in response, there's a rare sighting of the front of the instructor's shorts, which do not suggest he's totally disappointed with them.
 
Once again, the editor's cropping seems overdone on the right, resulting in another, oddly unbalanced composition. 

 
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline B04

This unconventional scenario, now takes a new turn. 
It appears No 3 has been detained, kept in after school, as it were.
He slumps on the floor, minus his training shoes, a sign that he's not going anywhere soon. The instructor has also taken off his shorts, as if they are now equals. It hints at a steamy closing ceremony, involving more sacrifice by No 3.
 
In Britain there used to be light-hearted debate about whether, milk should be added to the cup before or after pouring tea. There seems to a similar divide about sex and spanking. And yes, I know that many prefer their spanking without any sex at all.
 
There's another (unavoidable) blank corner here. They all fit together very well in 'Uniform Magazine' spread (shown below). But it's hard to imagine this was all intentional. The uncluttered backgrounds don't help.
 
Uniform Magazine, Vol 3 p41

 
 
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline B05

 In this picture, it seems that the tables have been turned on the sadistic instructor. Bereft of his shorts (just visible on the floor with the distinctive, black waist band), he rests his forearms on a stand rather like a butchers block, with a padded top set at an ideal height for bending over. A cane stands propped against the side, ready for the arrival of another dispenser of rough justice.
 
Maybe picture B04 is actually showing the waiting room, with both men in line for a painful reprimand, perhaps having been caught having sex after spanking. Maybe this set be named 'Triple Discipline'!
 
 
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline B06

In this picture we see the instructor slumped on the floor, looking distinctly down in the mouth, if not in other departments. I have sequenced these images to suit my own narrative, since no thumbnail sheets are known for Guys in Uniform sets. I imagined this as the aftermath of the Instructor's supposed comeuppance. Equally, it could be him, still awaiting his turn, after No 3 was summoned in to the Punishment Room.

There is a further image that doesn't seem to be part of this set, but also features the distinctive vest with coloured hoops.
 
Guys In Uniform -Athlete with Cane
 
This is not obviously the man wearing the hooped vest in the preceding pictures, but his predicament complements my narrative there perfectly. He's strapped to the four corners of a board or box in a way that prevents escape but not all movement. A cane leans against his bottom, an unsubtle clue to the reason for his restraint.
 
He's wearing shorts, which have been hitched-up to provide an open target area. His gym socks have been removed and dropped at his feet to one side. 
 
He's also wearing an incongruous, broad leather belt-cum-corset, with multiple straps at the back. Probably put on him by the men who restrained him. This fetish garment features in many Guys In Uniform sets with leather/rubber themes, but this cross-over picture is usual. It suggests the meeting of two worlds - wholesome athletic activity and dark, secret fetish. 
 
This is an initiation, perhaps or a peeping Tom about to be taught the error of his ways. His expression suggests that he's realised from the restraints and the tightness of his strange garment that this warning is going to be very different to anything he has experienced before.
