Beautifuly Bound - Benjamin Bradley 1

Benjamin Bradley - Beautifully Bound

This photo set and video helped launch the 'Bound Jocks' brand back in 2011 and for my money it's artistic and erotic qualities have rarely been surpassed by them in the years since then.


At that time I think Benjamin Bradley must have figured on many men's list of
 'Guys Who Need To Be Tied Up'.

 
His visual image of carefree, youthful exuberance and surprising muscularity
 was coupled with a degree of celebrity, conferred by colourful blurb in the gay media.

Just Been Delivered

So it will have given many men a considerable amount of pleasure when he wound up on 'Bound Jocks', tied up in his underpants and kneeling on a metal table, enclosed by white curtains. Bradley's rarely seen 'serious' look and more mature appearance here contributes it's own story of unpreparedness and confusion. His pale blue is underwear a classic blend of sexiness and conservatism.

Exploring the Bindings


The crisp, clean simplicity of the scenario is maintained throughout this piece and it's this integrity which to my mind justifies the 'artistic' label, notwithstanding Bradley's own brand of manly beauty. Wide screen shots like this create a sense of the isolation and exposure of the captive. You will find cropped versions homing in on Bradley's lusciousness but I've stuck to the originals for this selection.

Testing his Restraints 

The austere setting naturally focuses our attention on Bradley and his plight,
but it also creates a distinctive, dramatic atmosphere.
Here he is bathed in a harsh white light as he strains at his bindings,
suggesting he is exposed and vulnerable to some external 'presence' of considerable power.
The simplicity of his bondage seems to accentuate his relative puniness.


Oh! I'm Exposed!
Suddenly, there's a change, someone has removed Bradley's underwear
and now the bondage arrangements extend to lassoing his cock.
Unfortunately we don't see any of this,
you might think from Bradley's surprised look that he must have missed it as well!

Renewed Struggle

At this point, the curtained enclosure becomes more apparent.
It seems to suggest there's a sort of clinical purpose for his detention,
a procedure which needs to be conducted out of sight, in secret even.
This lends a sinister air to Bradley's entrapment, a more urgent need to escape.


Now we see more clearly the bare (and quite small) metal table on which he is displayed.
It's a precarious perch if your hands are tied, but more importantly the hygienic steel surface
conjures up sinister associations with professions involving sharp instruments.


You sense that he knows he's not going to escape.
Any volunteers for a rescue mission out there?
