Tom of Finland re-imagined in AI

Remixing Reality - Shipwrecked Sailor (after Tom of Finland)

This image has been created by seeding an AI engine (Google's Gemini) with a Tom of Finland image from one of his Jungle Jack stories (No. 3 'Seafood'). The original is reproduced below. 

 

Shipwrecked Sailor (Tom of Finland)

The new image is reasonably close to Tom's original apart from the sailor's head which is dark haired and more mature in the AI reading. The wetness of the sailor's whites is an improvement in my view, something that is very hard to do in a line drawing.

 

Remixing Reality - Shipwrecked Sailor (after Tom of Finland)

This elaboration has its points, restoring the blond hair in the original and giving him comprehensively ripped pants, which arguably is more erotic. The short sleeves of his tunic are pure fancy but do show off his muscular biceps.

A pleasing contribution to this growing genre

Mitchell - Big Enough For A Spanking

   

It was Logan's first experience of the rugby team's annual medical. He quickly decided that he didn't like the invasive procedures and refused to submit to them. The no-nonsense medic decided Logan was big enough to benefit from a good spanking.

Targeted

 Jobs were scarce in the country, so Ryan took the decision to leave home and move to the town. It worked, he quickly found a job he liked with friendly workmates. Particularly Sam, who befriended him and taught him a lot he'd never imagined when he lived in the sticks. 

 

Ryan liked living in the town, but before long, he was missing his folks. Unfortunately he hadn't saved enough to pay for the return fare. Then Sam told him about hitchhiking. He explained that although it could be hard work, he could use a few tricks to get motorists to stop for him. He also told him the best picking up place to start with, just outside town. 

 

When Ryan got there it seemed a pretty lonely road and not very promising at all.  But Sam had warned him, the trip may take longer than you expect, but just go with the flow. So he waited - for best part of an hour, with any result. Then he saw a car coming in the distance and decided he'd better deploy Sam's 'never fails' trick. To his delight the car stopped for him, appropriately enough it was a pick-up. 

 

Ryan made his way to the passenger side thinking he'd be tucked up in bed in no time. He was right about that.

Bondage art by Louis N (AI)

LouisN - Captive in Cage

 This inventive image of a captive restrained within a bell-like cage or frame was produced by an artist called LouisN. The frame clamps his legs (firmly indeed) in a wide spread, leaving him open to all kinds of possibilities. The scrolled decoration suggests a captor with an expressive taste in decor. 

 All titles in this article are mine 

 

LouisN - Captive Boxer in Steam Punk Restraint

This image from a videoette shows a boxer being beaten while trapped in an even more exotic restraint apparatus. One with design influences ranging from medieval Gothic and heavy metal to Victorian Steam Punk. In his plight he's probably too bewildered to appreciate such nuances.

 

LouisN - Bondage in Black

This leather scene is almost mundane by comparison, but the normal conventions for this genre are imaginatively adapted. For example the artist has substituted silky shorts for the usual leather, not tight either, but worn loose enough to stimulate the wearer. 

 

The outdoor setting introduces variables which are normally rigorously excluded from leather activities (except for the community's Summer Camps!). Namely, the threat of public discovery and adverse weather, an extra layer of uncertainty and potentially psychological and physical torment too.

 The leather apron worn by the master here makes an unexpected connection to recent mitchmen posts about Guys in Uniform (1975) and 'Leather Merchants' (Dolphin/Royale, 1961). 

 

LouisN - Bound and Gagged

The artist gives full rein to his preference for silky clothing in this fanciful re-imagining of a 'Bound and Gagged' magazine cover. In the UK, tracksuit bottoms like this were once widely associated with a certain type of unrefined, ill disciplined, young man, earthy qualities that are still irresistibly attractive to many gays. 

Such men also make appropriate subjects for those with an interest in correction. The high-tech chair used here makes a quirky combination with dungeon style restraint chains, but the heavy iron collar and fetters ought to give any hooligan pause for thought.  The electro mechanism suggested in this image is potentially extreme, as evidenced by the subject's profuse sweating. But it's dangerous in reality, strictly for fantasy, don't do it. 

Imaginary magazine covers like this are an interesting new genre of gay art entirely created by the AI revolution, I've featured examples by Remixing Reality at 'X' in the past. Paradoxically the real thing is rapidly disappearing as a result of the current technological tsunami.

The sepia, aged look of LouisN's simulation is a sad reminder that the much missed, original Bound and Gagged title ceased publication 21 years ago, in 2005.

 

LouisN - Track Suited Jogger Restrained

 

This videoette offers a less drastic but simpler and equally unconventional disciplinary mechanism for youthful bad behaviour. It majors on frustration with personally-focussed restraint that avoids the pitfall of allowing corrupting fraternisation with the other rogues in a conventional prison.

 

The silky pants show their erotic worth by giving glimpses of the groin contours within. There's also a curious alignment of this area with a diagonal bar in the background, creating a classic phallic extension. Did AI dream that up on its own?

LouisN -Soccer Player Restrained

 Unsurprisingly, this artist is also drawn to the tactile and visual qualities of flimsy, modern soccer kit. Like the tracksuit bottoms, this sporting connection offers ample excuses for restraint and punishment. The resemblance of this strip to that of the Argentine national side might prompt wry pleasure for some readers, following events in the recent World Cup. 

 

In this set-up, the usual gag ingredient is replaced by a complex, metal tube which seems to incorporate a valve. The flexible end leads to bottle which is presumably collecting the captive's drool, though not all of it. A chain attached to the bottom of the bottle suggests it can be raised and inverted to return the fluid, if the overseer deems it appropriate.

 

  The extensive, shibari style roping pulls the kit tight around the player's torso but leaves it loose, but erotically framed, at the crotch. A chain stretched across the captive's thighs provides a solid, back-up restraint.

 

 

LouisN - Soccer Player Worshipped

Ultimately, the attraction of silky fabrics lies in their flimsiness and sensuality to the touch and LouisN explores this in two memorable videos that I commend to you. This one shows a player gagged and spread-eagled on a tilted platform, dressed in all-white, Real Madrid kit. He is attended by a similarly dressed fan (or team-mate maybe) who teases and worships him. Apart from the obvious interest here, the captive's authentically chunky thighs are the highlight of this piece.

LouisN - Soccer Player Explored

 

There's a similar set-up here except that the restraint position is different and unsubtly directs our attention in a slightly different direction. A sensitive place that is teasingly approached, but never quite reached. Notice the stray fingertip lurking in this image taken from the video. 

 

In the end, the teasing seems to magically elevate the player under examination to heights of ecstasy. Not as technically accomplished as the previous example but no less arousing.

LouisN - Cage Bondage

 

The artist's preoccupation with shiny material takes an unexpected direction here. I can't easily connect shiny, cargo pants with a real world situation, except stage performers - or pop stars perhaps, who I suppose do misbehave from time to time. He certainly has the look (to me) of a mischief-maker, but I may be unfairly stereotyping him. The shibari ropes pleasantly frame his attractive physique and (thrusting?) groin.

 

Containment within a metal frame is graphic and suggestive, but the restraint shown here does not take significant advantage of the 'tethering' opportunities except in the vertical direction. There is an element of mouth punishment as well as restraint, suggestive of bad language being the cause of his discomfort. The uncompromising, spiked metal collar works well with the gag. It makes a sinister, dark conjunction with the rope dangling above though. 

 

LouisN - Lashed Astride A Bench 1

 

More shiny pants here, highlighting this man's shapely backside but not offering much protection, although it's not actually the target. Shiny skin and swirling vapours in the background project the impression of hot punishment. 

 

 

LouisN - Lashed Astride A Bench 2

AI has not got the hang of depicting the fall of the lash yet, but there's a short video of this event you can view at the artist's website (link at foot of post)

LouisN - Spread-Eagled Captive

 

We're going outside for the next few images. A good-looking man chained inside a wooden frame like this is exposed to the best and the worst of the elements, not to mention anything his captor might throw at him. 

 

His shiny blue briefs seem a trifle incongruous, the black shorts in image 3 seem more 'in keeping' with this situation. He's looking down at them as though they don't belong to him, which could indicate an element of ritual and performance in the proceedings. The colour co-ordinated gag supports that interpretation, although I can't think of a witty or erotic reason for using the colour, royal blue. Maybe he's just amazed how nice they make him feel, reminding him of his manliness, ready to face his punishment.

 

 The captive restrained inside a square frame has echos of an image by Etienne/Stephen, and it's a device much used by Amalaric too. (More Amalaric at mitchmen blog).

 

 

LouisN - Jungle Captive

The artist temporarily abandons shiny fabrics here and lets his shibari (and the innate qualities of the captive) do the talking. He can't speak for himself at the moment! He's not alone in his predicament (see right-hand side) which suggests we are in sacrifice territory. Borne out by the carved column behind him.

 

Young lads are easy meat for this sort of thing, I'd like to see a more mature, white explorer put on the spot. One is in a forthcoming post. This is still a nice image though.  

 

 

LouisN - Captive In The Snow

This scenario is at the opposite end of the climatic scale, but the captive can't complain, one of his captors has even less on than he does, but I suppose he can scoot off to a cabin or waiting car at any time to warm up. 

 

In the video from which this comes, there's sensuality inflicted on the captive rather than violence, with the tugging of his pants more massage than menace. I like the scenario and arched torso, but a fabric fan will enjoy more the subtle attractions of the clothing choice.  

 

LouisN - Captive Jogger.

In from the cold but readied for suspension in bondage and sweating it already. This is the best of the lot for my money. A great looking man with a super bod. Immobilised in economical shibari his pride and joy has been packaged up impressively. So touchable.

 

I've christened him as a jogger, diverted from his morning run by an admirer, who bears him no ill-will, but just wants to breakfast on his sumptuous physique. He does so in the video, reproduced below, and there's more where that came from at LouisN at 'X'

Targeted

The Agent's call came at an opportune time for Rod, he was low on funds and a one-off job, modelling for an artist, would fill the gap nicely. He was more than happy to take it on at short notice after the previous model had gone missing. That behaviour was typical of his agency colleague, Simon, who was much in demand as a model, but very unreliable. He regularly tested the Agent's patience with his disappearing acts. He'd probably won a bet on a horse and gone to Paris to spend it.

 Rod didn't mind posing naked, that was normal for assignments with painters. He didn't mind being temporarily tied up either, he'd done that gig before and Simon must have agreed to it as well. That thought excited him a little as the artist taped him up and the tingling lingered after he'd disappeared to 'organise his equipment'. Rod could hear him moving stuff around in the next room. 

While he waited, Rod looked around the studio, it wasn't very well-lit, but a picture standing on an easel in the corner stood out. It was almost completely covered with a cloth, but part of a face could be seen where the covering had sagged at the top. It looked like a familiar face, so he moved closer. Yes, it was Simon alright, a good likeness, still smelling of fresh paint, but presumably unfinished. 

 He was curious to find out how far the painter had got and wanted to see how Simon had looked wrapped in the wacky, tape bondage, so he leaned forward and moved the cloth with his chin. Immediately it began to slide off, down onto the floor and there was nothing he could do to stop it, not with his hands tied behind his back. The full picture emerged, and it wasn't unfinished at all - it certainly wasn't what he had expected. 

Looking at the startling image a worrying suspicion began to grow in his mind about this assignment. This wasn't at all what his Agent had told him. Anxiety began to spread downwards through his body into his stomach and the depths of his bowels as he realised Simon's disappearance might have a much darker explanation. He twisted his wrists in the tape. The bondage might be wacky, but it was 100% effective. Then he heard the door open behind him.... 

"Come through, Rod, I'm ready to do you now".

Art by FranklynIE

FranklynIE - Coach Lost it at Practice

The accidental turned into something more intentional. This amazing picture shows just how much AI can do in the hands of an accomplished technician. The athlete's rosy cheeks and some tweaking of the tackler's age complete the transformation of a normal on-field tackle. The athlete's physique is amazing.

 

FranklynIE - Game On

This is another, cleverly ambiguous image in much the same vein. AI tends to have a mind of its own and doesn't yet understand how important eyes are in establishing what's going on. The artist here has got it just right, but we have to decide for ourselves whether the naughty Coach is walking into receptive arms - or a trap. 

FranklynIE - Unexpected House Call

A man in the hands of a Doctor is regular homoerotic scenario, when they are usually keen to get to the bottom of the problem. This is part of a series of 'bed' images, mainly about a man who is a malingerer, hence the title. Various efforts to persuade him to reform seem to centre on that same, particular area of the body. It's another startlingly bold image. The other variations are at the artist's website (link at foot of post).

FranklynIE - More Than One Way To Unmask A Superhero

I'm not a fan of masks, but I do enjoy a superhero takedown. Have you noticed how video captors nearly always have to resort to scissors to finish the job when they're supposed to be ripping the clothes off their prey? It spoils the macho imagery somewhat. There's a sequel to this image at the artist's website (see below) which is too close to the knuckle to post here.

 

 

FranklynIE - Punished At Work

I like the idea of this scenario, but the nature of the employee's offence seems to be a key, missing ingredient for this image. Has he been stealing the stock of lingerie and been caught red cheeked? Is exposure the sum total of his penance, or something more stinging? We need to know!

 

FranklynIE - Mr Caruso's Very Good Day

The tailor's inside-leg measurement is a hoary, old joke for gays, it turns up in my posts regularly, in art dating back to the 1960s. But I wonder, do young people, who've probably never had the pleasure, really understand it? (Answers in comments, please!). The retro briefs here recapture beautifully that sense of exposure when the pants were down. As I recall, the professional technique was to use strong hands. Oh, how our legs quivered!

 

FranklynIE - A Proper Apology

It's a nice image, but Franklyn flirts with some tricky, age-related scenarios in order to find a reason to expose this young miscreant. I think I prefer something like the straightforward, underwear shoplifter scenario. They're not yours, so take 'em off lad! 

 

FranklynIE - Another Helpless Victim of Aggressive Policing

He's on safer ground with this one. Gays have an interesting love-hate relationship with cops, something like Stockholm Syndrome. The artist leaves it up to us to imagine what this guy's offence was, but the open flies suggest he was involved in a bit of a scrap or else was caught exposing himself. 

 

FranklynIE - Good Ol' Country Boy In The City

I confess I haven't a clue what the title of this means, but the image is irresistible, not least because of the subject's maturity. Teasing callow youths is best left to their peers, imo, but grown-up men are fair game and much more interesting! 

 

FranklynIE majors on embarrassment, but I think anyone who gets in a wrestling ring must be beyond that emotion, otherwise they wouldn't be able to ham it up so badly. I take my hat off to their athleticism though.

 

FranklynIE - New Roomie Ritual

Well, OK. In an all-male household it's a rare creature that would be embarrassed as easily as this, so it doesn't quite work for me, but nevertheless I like the imagery. Psycho was never like this!

 

 

FranklynIE - 'Rough Night, Old Chap?'

This hunk has experienced gay sex the night before his wedding. The artist doesn't explain whether it was by seduction of his natural impulses or a rather cruel, stag night prank. Either way he's obviously got some thinking to do. He's going to feel a bit awkward walking down the aisle with the tingling aftereffects. All those people looking at him from behind. Possibly including the perpetrator.

 

Original

FranklynIE - The Need

This is rather powerful and meaningful articulation of inner gay feelings, even if we might not choose to express ourselves in quite this way in real life.

 

FranklynIE - Speechless

I just like this one. The zip is genius.
