Vintage Bondage - Ryder Knight aka Bo Richards

Ryder Knight aka Bo Richards

Ryder Knight strikes a classic 'casual glamour' pose which is more reminiscent of the 1950's 
than the early '80's when this picture was taken for a 'Honcho' magazine spread. 
The tattered clothing and leather accessories seem a tad incongruous too.
Aficionados will instantly recognise the hand of Zeus Studio at work.

 

Bo's restraint commences with a rope tied just underneath his pecs 
it enhances their bulk quite nicely as you see below.


Ryder ends up with hands neatly tied behind his back
 and jockstrap shredded to the point of destruction.


This crouching image is possibly the highlight of the set 
It reveals an impressive, earthy bulk in the model.
The upper body restraint is comprehensive 
The 'in yer face' viewpoint (in the style of Colt Studio)
has a brash vulgarity about it.


The contrast with this pose could not be greater. 
The token ropes and 'little boy lost' pose with head thrown back in despair
hark back to the arty, liberation imagery of the sixties 
but even this modest glimpse of cock would have been banned then.


Ryder's longish hair is of it's time. 
It gives him something of a 'wild man' look here
The incomplete restraint seems to strive for artiness too


Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.
The flamboyant hair works better here, bringing out a youthful sexiness
and you can imagine this guy as a sportsman.

That juxtaposition of pretty boy looks 
with intimations of rough handling and restraint
create a heady erotic brew for the imagination.

 

Ryder's erotic power comes across even more in this picture 
it's from 'The Cruiser' (made under the name of Bo Richards).

The models pec's seem even bulkier here, I'm quite partial to those fleshy folds underneath.
I'm not usually turned on by skiing apparel but the braces and deep zip here 
frame the torso much like dungarees and wrestling singlets do. Nice.


From the same film and it's Bo's youthfulness that suddenly becomes apparent here 
thanks to shorter, neck-revealing hair and that cheeky ski hat, 
(similar to the Commando Cockleshell hat whose sexy attributes I highlighted
 in one of my war comic articles.)

There's not much material about this model on the web.
Unfortunately much of it it is fuzzy magazine scans.
You will also find films if you search imaginatively.
