The Rope Art of BoyzBond

This post is especially dedicated to anyone who is alone - or who feels alone - this Christmas. Partly for that reason it's not about Christmas and should be meaty enough to entertain for a while.

 

Boyzbond has been around on the internet for many years sharing his love of men in tight clothes and tight bondage. This image from 2010 epitomises the former with a nostalgic nod to the vintage years of skin-tight jeans which were custom-shrunk to fit by sitting in the bath while wearing them!

BoyzBond images feature men of all types, but their faces and bodies are generally cloaked, allowing the underlying male characteristics to be showcased.  In recent years, skinny-legged jeans have re-accustomed our eyes to tight apparel and, together with the tight bindings seen here, reveal that even slender young men have the proverbial 'hour glass' figure normally attributed to voluptuous women.
(and I know which I prefer!)

BoyzBond is strongly focussed on rope. The captives crotch-enhancing 'harness', the single rope tethering him to a ceiling hook plus the straps dangling on the wall indicate that beautification is not the sole objective here!

The post tie position was once a Hollywood staple in Wild West and Pirate fantasies but BoyzBond is one of the few bondage enthusiasts featuring it today. It amplifies the immobilising capability of the 'ladder pattern' loops seen in the previous image, obliging the captive to stand in an erect and manly position with shoulders pulled back (like your mother told you). The doubling-up of the tape gag as a topping-off head restraint is a fiendish, extra, disciplinary tweak.

 These leggings show the captive's leg contours even more and give him a sporting identity.
Carefully positioned thigh ties accentuate the buttocks nicely.

 

 In this image you can see there's also a central 'bun divider' for added effect. The simple bondage arrangement of the previous image readily converts here to a hog-tie.

The all-in-one, 'Zen' bodysuit is a natural addition to the tight clothing range. It blurs the boundary between nudity and clothing, flimsy, clinging and revealing, such that the man wearing it feels naked even though he is not. In addition, this unconventional outfit becomes part of his bondage 'package', separating him from his everyday 'clothed' identity like a prison uniform does.

From there it's a short step to rubber, which brings it's own, more restricting clinginess to the wearer's attention. It's natural tone is dark and sombre, but this stylish variant uses colour to accentuate shoulders, pecs and the downstairs package (complete with tantalising zip!). All this is purely for the benefit of on-lookers, the blindfolded captive can only guess what on-lookers make of his display. 

The chair tie is another classic, movie bondage position, normally used in the detective and spy thriller genres, but Boyzbond shows that it's no sluggard in the sexiness stakes. Tight-tied thighs push up the pouch and the flexed body position creates a natural cradle for it with a star pattern of flattering creases radiating on either side.

The open legged variant produces a heightened vulnerability, opening up a wider area for inspection and more, should one wish. The captive's unruly hair is a characterful detail suggesting that this might be an out-of-character experience for him. The same might be said of the incongruous 'antique' chair! At least this dungeon does not skimp on comfort and style. Sticking with black for the rounded neckline on his suit showcases an attractive head and neck.

 

This open legged, upright pose in full leather regalia creates similar vulnerabilities but the captive here projects a proud and manly aura and an admirable physical stature. This style of restraint pays tribute to his strength in the traditional manner accorded to the likes of Hercules and Samson - and rightly so if those intimidating thighs are anything to go by. 


And those thighs are not the only intimidating detail!


This pose, facing a mirror in an otherwise empty room is a regular feature of Boyzbond imagery. It creates a sense of expectation for us and him. Perhaps dread too in some men, if they have glimpsed the array of implements on the table before being deprived of sight.

There is something intensely erotic about the act of tying another man up, gradually reducing him to a point where he cannot resist further incursions. This gagging moment, closing off the last avenue of appeal, graphically  illustrates the captive's helplessness and his captor's power to inflict on him whatever he wants.

Sensory deprivation has a multiple purpose, including the shrouding of the captive's identity. It also despatches him into a different world where only his sense of touch will function. He will only feel what his captor wishes him to feel and if the man's a wily operator he will give ample space for the captive's imaginings to stoke his anticipation of what is to come.

 
You sense this captive might be experiencing just such imaginings as he stands erect and waits, aware  only of the pressure of his suit and of the bindings, not least the loop between his legs which is clearly riding up uncomfortably. All men are equally vulnerable in this region.

For some, discomfort starts with the gagging. This man has been assigned an inflatable gag which augments his imposed, near-silence with considerable on-going discomfort. If he looks to his left he might discern others coming his way.


The BoyzBond style of restraint and the tight, body-shaping clothing attracts erotic attention and sadistic thoughts. Simultaneously it makes the wearer aware of his vulnerability in this respect. The clothing offers a layer of protection, but he knows that his captor can easily compensate for it.


This bench pose provides a more enticing target.
The gallows-like device positioned between the legs is intimidating in itself.
 

 It converts readily into a hog frame and in this sporting example the frontal arm provides anchorage for a head restraint, potentially a painful option if more severe tension is applied.

 
There are other torments more subtle than the slapping of cheeks. This restraint combines the humiliation of precarious display and open access with pressure on unaccustomed joints. One for those who seek the extremities of the bondage experience.
