Humiliation Art by Matt


 This marvellous domination image is by Matt* who has made ear-pulling come-uppances for grown men a speciality. His art also often features men forced to wear dinky little shorts like this. It's a punishment based on that hoary, old line, much beloved of the spanking fraternity:- 'Act like a schoolboy and I'll treat you as one', but it's rarely recreated as vividly as this. (Compare with the tight shorts images of the artist 'Paul' who also featured at mitchmen recently)

Our attention is grabbed initially by the subject's face, which is remarkably handsome (and I have a thing for men with sticky-out ears, like Russell Povey for example). This man is young but there's absolutely no uncomfortable ambiguity about his age, he's no schoolboy and if being forced to wear the uniform of one isn't bad enough, it's also far too small for him. He fills out the shirt in most erotic fashion (the undersized tie being a cute detail) - but he bulges out of the shorts even more. Embarrassingly so. Nevertheless it's apparent on close inspection that this elaborate, role play 'set-up' has him very excited.

Matt - Bad Jock 3

This image develops the theme, but in this case a hapless Jock is being forced to kow-tow to a nerdy contemporary from his college, who's been drafted in to help him pass an important Maths course. The Coach has told him it's a prerequisite to staying in 'The Team', so he's desperate to pass and submits to dressing in this humiliating uniform and enduring the first of many ear tuggings. Adding insult to injury, the Nerd's shorter stature forces him to bow submissively to match his height.

 

Matt - Bad Jock 7

Matt imagines the Jock's motivation to be so strong that he even submits to being spanked by the Nerd (bare ass) for his mistakes. Not without a manly measure of inner resentment of course. Spanking seems to be a natural follow-on to the ear-tugging routine, but explicit spanking images like this are relatively unusual in Matt's output. Here it serves more to emphasise the physical disparity and social gulf between the two characters underlining the extent of the power granted to the Nerd - not to mention the Jock's surprising willingness to accept it.


Matt - Bad Jock 8

Matt has a variety of 'unusual punishments' in his armoury and this image shows three more. Ear pegging crudely prolongs the pain of manual tweaking, but it's also an immensely appropriate rebuke for the Jock's failure to listen to his mentors. Likewise, the book balancing ordeal (increasingly painful with the passage of time) employs the weighty, academic books he's been neglecting, vividly demonstrating the limitations of his obsession with physical prowess. Best of all, the raising of his shoulders causes his skimpy shorts to ride up, revealing lower cheeks polished to a rosy gloss.
 
The cartoon-y style of the 'Bad Jock' series contrasts with the more conventional technique seen in the opening image of this article. It's less sensual but suits the exaggerated storyline. 

Matt - Bad Stripper 2

This picture comes from a similar series in which the 'bad boy' is a blond stripper who allows his (female) audience to spank him. I'd want to go and see his act! The juxtaposition of dollar bills and rosy ass is very sexy and original. We tend to see men who strip as self-assured and independent so this public scolding, by one of his own family, is no less humiliating than the locker room paddling of the muscular 'Bad Jock'
 
Matt takes his exploration of the levers of power to new extremes in this image. Grandparents usually command respect and affection these days, rather than the absolute authority attributed to them in dramas like 'The Godfather'. However it's not so improbable (and quite exciting) to imagine a more kindly relative rescuing his Grandson from his own foolishness before his demon Father finds out what he's been doing. The mobility scooter makes it abundantly clear that his irresistable power over the errant stripper does not stem from physical strength. It also forces him to bend low and pulls him along at a pace, graphically exposing his back-side and his offence to all and sundry in the street.
 
In this mini-series the subject arrives having already been spanked and this illustrates nicely how such punishments are not the main focus of Matt's interest, but an incidental detail of broader humiliation.

Matt - Bad Boy Shuffle

 This more recent image uses similar ideas to (optimistically) highlight the ease with which the most improbable of disciplinarians can put a big stud in his place. And he is a big boy - tall with muscled torso, mighty thighs and..well...need I say more? Matt's thesis that Greek God-like men such as this can made to submit to more normal mortals is one of the most appealing aspects of his art.

The unseen leverage enabling this diminutive and infirm pensioner to inflict humiliation on him, even extends to making him walk with his shorts dropped round his ankles and shirt lifted to display the most intimate areas of his physique. It suggests there may be an useen audience witnessing it all (just to add to his discomfort) and it's possibly the aftermath of having just made a closer acquaintance with that walking stick. But in any case he's loving it all deep down, literally dripping with excitement. 

The deliciousness of it all is that it seems that not only is this young man clean cut, good looking and charmingly fallible, immensely attractive in fact  - but he's still nice enough to defer to his elders (including us?)

 

Matt - Selecting a Paddle

The muscular back of the hapless stud in this image, with it's tantalising glimpse of buttock crack, would be an erotic sight in any situation. (My recent Night Visitor image employs a similar partial-censoring technique with a frontal view). This particular physique acquires a whole new interest when roped into a naked excursion to a fetish shop, to witness the selection and purchase of a suitable implement, expressly chosen for his punishment. 

It's flattering for him in a back-handed sort of way and, luckily, specialist shops like this are rarely found in busy Shopping Malls, so he's less likely to be seen by anyone who knows him. More probably it would be a seedy, back street location, unattractive in itself but also the domain of dubious characters in search of the unmentionable. The flat cap and raincoat of his tormentor would pass unnoticed, it's 'de rigeur' to dress like that in fact, but a naked man in thrall to him would attract all sorts of interest, he probably wouldn't appreciate.  

This is a very simple image but immensely imaginative and powerful if you pause to reflect on it.


Matt - Soap Boy

 
This study is not about spanking at all although as a punishment it's shares the same connections with immaturity and character training. The Ivory branding connects with a by-gone age. I'm not sure modern soaps are quite as effective in producing discomfort as the traditional types were, but for a man of this maturity, in this day and age, being forced to perform the ritual is probably worse than the physical sensation anyway. His neatly styled hair is attractive and suggests an element of self-awareness which would not enjoy this abject submission. His tear may be psychological rather than physiological. 
 
His mentor here is sketchily drawn, but the nicely-filled T-shirt suggests a relatively youthful man and a non-family relationship. From their relative positions it's easy to imagine this ritual being part of a supervised bath. That hand gripping the sufferer's neck sustains his obedience. It may also be poised to dunk his head in the water, if deemed neccessary.
 
Matt - It's Not What It Looks Like Sir!
 
The sense of genuine, subtle artistry behind Matt's images is more obvious in this enigmatically-titled piece. Even without the spanking humour, but simply as a study of a grown man's private pleasure, communing with his inner child, it's a delightful and very perceptive study of masculinity. 

The fear of discovery does not really disappear when adolescence is left behind, it's heightened in some circumstances, as here. In a 'straight' disciplinarian household, any suggestion that punishment is a source of sexual pleasure would cause outrage of course and invite even worse consequences.
Matt - Twins In Trouble
 
Matt adds another dimension of humiliation in this image, envisaging two brothers being reprimanded simultaneously for undesirable activities of some sort, which at this age might include fighting over the same girl. The intensity of sibling rivalry usually mellows with age, but this would rarely be a comfortable situation for either of them.
 
These two might equally be buddies or work colleagues, each of which would bring a different dimension of embarrassment and shame to the humiliation, which appears to include being ordered to strip naked by the mature avenger.  Alternatively it's possible that these splendidly-developed men were caught up to some mischief in this naked state, suggesting a misdemeanour even more embarrassing than quarreling or being partners in crime. Caught by the supervisor of a sauna for example where other users can witness their shaming. 

Matt - Study
 
By contrast, this image envisages a very private punishment in which the symbollic role of books is augmented to serve as a plinth for the spanking paddle (like the straw that broke the camel's back?) This errant young man is forced to contemplate his impending punishment at length while his punisher relaxes by reading the newspaper. The result of all that anticipation and physical effort is a sizeable erection in those skimpy shorts which probably won't go unpunished either. 
 
The style of this piece, particulalry the depiction of the father, has a retro feel that harks back to the magazines of the mid-20th century, a period in which corporal punishment went relatively unrestrained.
 

Matt - Bad Dad
 
This beautiful if improbable role reversal is almost a mirror image of the preceding picture in concept. It sees a parent suffering retribution at the hands of his adult son. The pegged ears and book balancing torment (notice the careflly selected titles!) are familiar from Bad Jock above, with the embellishment of glasses of water here (or his best whisky, perhaps). Placed on top of the textbooks they provide an unambiguous signal if and when Dad fails the test. 
 
Below the shoulders, however, Matt branches out into broader fetish interests. The school uniform has been ripped to shreds, as though symbollically over-riding the 'treat you like a boy' motto in favour of a 'man's punishment for a man's offence'. It's symbollic in erotic terms too. The choice of pegging nipples, balls and dick is a little eccentric but presumably it's an escalated reprisal for all those tweaked ears the son's endured over the years and a rebuke to his Father for the secret sexual pleasure that he derived from punishing his son. 
 
This is a significant escalation too of Matt's, normally discreet, approach to the role of sexuality in these scenes. This image is more detailed than his usual fare and at first sight, the 'classroom' could have been taken straight out of Franco's portfolio.



Matt - The Long March
 
Matt never seems to tire of reworking this theme. The admission of sexual excitement perhaps has a more prominent place in this rendering. Better though is the capturing of the stumbling gait of the tormented victim, his anguished, child-like expression, his raised hand itching to fight back but held in check by awareness of the dire consequences if he does.

Matt - Skater

The final image of this article is competely different in both subject matter and technique. There's a highly proficient, professional artist behind this work but I'm not completely sure if it is all by Matt himself or whether he's adapted someone else's image. Whatever the case it still gives a different insight to his interests and skill set. It reiterates that he's sees spanking in a wider context than the painful punishment itself.

*This is the third artist named 'Matt' that I've featured at mitchmen blog, following in the footsteps of Matt of 'Sado Island' fame (in 2010) and 'muscle' Matt (in 2019). This Matt's artistic and erotic credentials certainly measure up to theirs and he is perhaps the most stylish of them all. His graphic humiliations of grown men are unique and immensely 'mitchmen-esque', true to the aim of 'putting men in their place'.

Mitchell's Gay Fetish Art - Night Visitor

Mitchell - What's He Gonna Do To Me?

 Another in my 'Night Visitor' series, a theme I'm slightly obsessed with. 

Roughly awakened from a deep sleep, the newly-crowned Swimming Champion could not understand what was happening. The bed coverings had been jerked off him and he'd been suddenly engulfed by the sheer physical presence of a man who had somehow invaded his bedroom in the middle of the night. Already, he had him in a tight grip, pulling him tight into his own fleshy torso. The swimmer's bed-warm skin felt the coolness of his clothing and he smelled too of the freshness of the night air outside, a scent that was mingled with the warmer odours of sweaty exertion. 

The swimmer felt his pyjama bottoms inexplicably falling away and the roughness of cold jeans brushed his thighs, the sharp chill of a belt buckle pressed against his naked abdomen. He was awake enough now to resist - or try to - but his muscular assailant was able to foil every move he made, his hands seemed to be everywhere and his unrelenting grip seemed to be draining away what meagre strength the fogginess of the swimmer's brain was able to muster. 

Then suddenly he was released, but almost immediately a hand closed round the back of his head pulling him back in, the intruder's face pressed against his in a stubble-scratching intimacy. "Now listen to this" he hissed menacingly, "Do not utter a word. Turn and kneel on the bed. Put your hands behind your back. Do it!"

The grip was released. The naked swimmer stood feeling very small and weak, trying to make out the shadowy giant whose bulk loomed over him. Part of his brain was screaming "This is your chance. Shout! Fight! Run!" but he was too shocked, too mesmerised to hear it, too intimidated to act on it. He stood still for a few seconds, slightly shaking, struggling with himself, then he bowed his head and slowly he turned and knelt on the bed. 

~

The modest cut-off of the naked victim's tackle is not intended as censorship, I think the glimpse of root is a very erotic device, suggestive of treats that lie in store for the intruder when he's got the chance to take advantage of them. You can see he's already savouring his catch.

Military Punishment by Paul


Paul - Punishment Cell


 These images by the (vintage) spanking artist 'Paul' (aka P.R.) depict Military Correction scenarios. All the participants are dressed in shorts, which used to be regulation wear for Desert Fighting and sometimes in Jungles. I've always been excited by the idea of men fighting in scanty clothing* and the shorts shown here are exceedingly scanty and very tight. What they would do to the enemy we can only imagine. The rolled-up sleeves have an equally provocative effect on me.

The two Military Policeman have a manly appearance and being dressed exactly the same as those facing punishment adds an element of skin-to-skin earthiness and intimacy to their raw brand of bare-ass discipline, which is strictly non-regulation of course, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. The discarded shorts of the victim lie under the bench nearby in a crumpled heap, a sexy detail. These highly erotic elements are augmented by the spice of bondage and boot-licking submissiveness. 

The condemned men waiting their turn look on, tied to posts and sweatily anticipating their own humiliation. Watching their comrade's fate has already induced impressive bulges in their shorts, one man's underwear is seen forcing it's way out into the open. Their half open shirts reveal manly chest hair, echoed on thighs and forearms, but their burgeoning manhood has not spared them from a less than manly punishment.

This image is overflowing with erotic elements from a bygone age of military service, enthusiatically exaggerated and lovingly drawn with an attention to sexy detail that will especially delight those whose who can remember it. The famous Royale Studio military photo series and later 'Guys in Uniform' tread similar ground and are contemporary.


Paul - Military Punishment

 The cane has always seemed a ferocious implement to me and this picture expresses just how painful it can be, thinly disguised by frivolous cartoon technique. These unfortunates have at least been allowed to hang on to their shorts and a semblance of dignity, but the absence of a patch pocket on the left buttock of the man currently under examination creates the suggestion of a bare cheek. Paul depicts shorts with single back pockets like this in other drawings, a useful substitute for nudity in less tolerant times. (click on 'hidden eroticism' label below for more)
 
As in the first picture, the glum man awaiting his dose of correction shows a degree of sexual excitement. The use of these minimal, very tight shorts might be seen as a deliberate part of their humiliation were it not for the fact that the Officers are similarly attired. In fact, the portrayal of the disciplinarian here is most unmilitary compared with the first picture. He has more the appearance of a mischievous, malevolent imp than a real person. He also turns up in other pictures by Paul. The non-human spanker is a device quite often used in this genre. I suppose it's to distance the artist from the acts he has portrayed. An equivalent to the use of classical settings for depicting slavery for example.



Paul - Raw Recruit

That distancing is conspicuously lacking here with the spanker exhibiting a degree of venom that must flow from deep inside the artist's psyche. There's also an open acknowledgement of sexual gratification playing a part in his actions. Paul's characterisations sometimes veer towards unacceptable age ambiguities which I wouldn't endorse. It's allayed here by the Military setting but much of his work is unsuitable for publication at mitchmen.

Papa-Con Post-script - Office Party

Papa-Con - Office Party

Remember Baring's Bank? Well this is Boring's Bank

A high-powered, over-confident executive gets a lesson in humility from the founding fathers after making an expensive mistake in derivative market trades (don't ask me what they are!).

This dominance by elderly gents he wouldn't normally give a second glance is perfectly delicious. At the same time the Boring Brothers seem to have perceived that behind his veneer of tidy hair, designer specs and immaculate suits there lurks a muscular, hairy beast - one to be restrained and tamed.

A new opportunity may be opening up for him here.

More Art by Papa-Con

Read the First Article In This Series at mitchmen blog 


Papa-Con - Wrestling Humiliation

 Papa-Con has produced a number of images showing older men involved in erotic wrestling situations. This one shows the eldest of two fighters suffering the humiliation of having his white beard shaved off. It has the tufted look of oriental fantasy characters and I suspect it's removal might have a deeper significance in that part of the world, perhaps similar to Samson's strength being dependent on his long hair. It could also be implying something similar to the emasculating effect of shaving off pubic hair.

White Beard is old indeed by the standards of gay erotic art (and his opponent is no spring chicken either!), but he escapes my objection to 'pensioner bashing' expressed in Part One because he is well muscled and looks as if he is perfectly capable of defending himself. He has a formidable bulge in his leotard too. The ripping of his garment at neck level (revealing a nice hairy chest) suggests that lower areas might not be immune from the razor either.

Papa-Con - Wrestling Domination

This might be the next development in the contest but I'm not sure it's part of the same series (the wrestler on the canvas here still has facial hair) but it still connects nicely. The leotard is totally shredded and nature takes it's course. The artist creates a scene of total domination but the beaten man is enjoying it, clearly. These images illustrate not only that mature men are still sexually attractive but also that inter-generational images do not have to involve overly-young men to work.

Papa-Con - Wrestling Rope Burn

This is my favourite in this group, I think, because it shows a daring variation of the standard wrestling ploy of illegally using the ropes against your opponent and the artist captures it's effectiveness splendidly. The actual mechanics of the move remain obscure but it doesn't impair the impact of the image. There are some blurry effects in the lower part of the picture which I can't quite decipher, but which seem to create the sense of twanging ropes. Another nice leotard bulge.

Papa-Con - Wrestling Role Reversal

 In this contest it's the younger man who is the loser forced to submit and take the shaving humiliation. It looks like he facing more than one opponent too who takes advantage of his predicament to tweak delicate areas, with spectacular results!

Papa-Con - Wrestling, On The Ropes

This image strives to identify the ultimate humiliation for a defeated wrestler - sprayed, shaved, milked and plugged whilst helplessly trapped in the corner. I'd like to see other ages in this fix too!



These two men are examples of a much younger age group and are condemned to suffer humiliation together suggesting a there's a relationship between them that I'm not aware of but which makes this predicament extremely uncomfortable for them. On a physical level the generously-sized butt plugs perform an equivalent task. The implication seems to be that the plugs alone induce orgasms and each man in turn must bend to receive his partner's spray. The identical boots with turned down socks they are wearing adds an extra erotic frisson.


Papa-Con  - Buddies and Tentacles

 Despite the collars, flying chains and paired posts these two characters don't seem to actually be restrained, but are simply borne aloft by tentacles in an impressionistic depiction of the ecstasy of shared sexual probing. Notice the eerie beach scene behind them. 

The reddening of their cheeks and noses looks like a case of Japanese embarrassment which might relate the seeming disparity in their ages. Ages at which there is no excuse of youthful excitability for their obvious pleasure in being comprehensively used. I've labelled them as buddies, but they might equally be family.

Papa-Con  - Tentacle Ecstasy

Papa-Con's 'wood-cut' style suits this image of overwhelming tentacle assault. The close up framing and black background simplifies the artist's task of explaining where tentacles come from and allows fragments to emerge from the ether without seeming too peculiar. His depiction of this man's aged anatomy is frank but not repulsive and the evidence of deep penetration is very apparent. His ecstasy is perhaps a wry reflection on the loneliness and lack of human contact that often comes with growing old.

Papa-Con - Mature Milkers

 Growing old together need not be lacking in excitement! These two leather enthusiasts clearly still have plenty to offer and have managed to retain impressively tight physiques. There's a striking sense of intimacy here, in direct contrast to the younger, plugged captives seen earlier. I like the dribble of recycled 'milk' on their ball gags

The design of the milking kit is impressively compact compared with the grand extraction arrangements seen in the mitchmen survey of  Milking Factories. I could imagine these devices being replicated rather easily and cheaply and set in more formal arrays to create a sort of 'artisan' Milking Factory. The thought of older men still being able to contribute to the Milking Industry is rather comforting.


Papa Con - Tight Bondage
 

This hand-milking arrangement by contrast is positively pastoral, but the tight bondage on offer might be a great incentive to some. Quite where you would source disembodied hands to upscale the process I'm not sure, but I imagine plenty of oldsters would give it a go. This Tagame-like character suffers from the surfeit of anger we expect from that man's hand but I must admit that giant ball-gag gives cause and those (attached) nip-nippers look fearsomely tight. Not enough to impair his performance though. Men always make such a fuss!

Dungeon Art by Papa-Con - The Abbey

Papa-Con - WrongAnswer

Papa-Con specialises in mature men and their mistreatment and this group of images features a middle-aged character who's fallen into the hands of some monks with unorthodox attitudes. I've often imagined a series of images in which an intrepid 'Indiana Jones' sort of explorer stumbles on the hidden treasure of a Monastry only to discover it's not abandoned, lost nor unattended. These images fit that storyline nicely. Beginning with the head monk showing his displeasure at the intruder's answers to his questions. Copious quantities of sweat indicate his ordeal has been in progress for some time.

The artist shows great panache in depicting the slap being delivered to the helplessly bound and naked victim with the judicious embellishment of a cartoon-style 'sweep' and 'impact star' . I imagine the captives arousal might be considered sacreligeous in context, but you never know with monks. 

The 'wood-cut' style with extreme, contrasting shadowing recalls the 'Devils' series by Olaf and other 80's artists. It's skillfully blended here with more sensitive detailing.


Papa-Con - The Dungeon

A birching seems an entirely appropriate method of chastisement for any unfortunate intruder. Monks use this on themselves so why would anyone else found lacking be exempt? Nevertheless, it's not a light option unless the perpetrators so choose and the double-barrelled line up suggests they won't on this occasion. Hands to feet bondage adds humiliation of an awkward posture to the victim's pain.

There's a touch of the Oriental about the poses of the monks here.

 

Papa-Con - On The Horse
 

The interrogation continues with a ride on the horse, a crude torment but delivered via a sophisticated, well-built device, which suggests there's much need of correction in this facility (or frequent intrusions by unwelcome visitors). The arched, restraint position is highly erotic with roping detail that gives a great impression of a strong man made helpless. I like the tied toe

The captive is being coaxed into an erection with slaps administered to the back of his head to encourage the desired response. This probably isn't intended to provide sexual gratification to either party (well not only that) but is perhaps a further interrogation or an attempt to draw a confession from him. The intended climax, I suspect, is indicated by the incense sticks burning in the foreground, possibly about to find a new 'niche'.

 I've featured a whole series of images at mitchmen in the past showing a device like this in use (see 'Riding the Wedge' label below) but without the luxury of seating. The captive is forced to straddle the 'wedge' which can be as sharp as the interrogators deem fit. That wide block is not the most comfortable of saddles to straddle either but the provision of a flat seat also provides a platform for the captive's balls which would otherwise dangle down at one side and be hard to get at. In this fiendish design there is also a projection of some sort at the rear which might be a pivoting wedge (or a blade like an inverted version of the office, paper guillotine). In addition, the pegs constraining the captive's thighs can lowered, it seems, pulling him down more firmly.


Papa-Con - Pagan Ritual

I noted an oriental influence before, but this image might easily be mistaken for Tagame's work in both content and style. I always think this candle torment looks worse than it really is. The total immobilisation of the captive and odd orientaion dilutes the drama too, compared with images 1 and 3 above. Surprisingly, the rendering of the monk is probably the main point of interest here and I'm glad he keeps his clothes on, thus preserving the sense of  a dispassionate and remorseless, cruel torturer.

~

 Papa-Con (aka Akinokina aka OkiBearz) specialises in mature men and their mistreatment. They sometimes seem to verge on the senile, with white flowing locks and wispy beards. Pensioner-bashing is unattractive to me as the beating of children but his less extreme visions of aging such as those above are very welcome.
