Vintage Bondage - Dean Spencer

Dean Spencer tormented by Andrew Lennox

 This is the stunning cover photo for the 2000 video, 'Fetish Sex Fights -3' made by Zeus in collaboration with CanAm (the early, erotic wrestling site). In this video, Dean Spencer (left) has volunteered to be trained by a Master and Andrew Lennox duly obliges. This crucifixion image comes from the final scene which only lasts two and a half minutes, but is superbly erotic.


1

 The scene opens with Dean Spencer  standing before a T-post mounted on a small plinth. He is naked apart from his boots and we can see he has a trim muscular body, a severely trimmed groin and long, legs with thick thighs.

At this point he's already been stripped, physically tormented and sexually used by Lennox but has remained defiant throughout. Now he waits patiently for his next ordeal. His head is bowed submissively, his eyes downcast.

Sadly, good quality stills for this scene seem to be non-existent apart from the cover image, the images reproduced here are screenshots from the film, blown up and somewhat foggy!


2

The Master returns. He too wears nothing but his boots and you can immediately see that he is a big man. No doubt he's pleased to see Dean has remained exactly where he left him and still keeps his eyes respectfully averted as he has been told he must do.


3

He places his hand on Dean's chest as though he can't quite believe this exceptionally attractive man has become his plaything and has to check he's real. Dean's raised nipples are a magnet for Lennox in this video. 

In this shot you get more sense of Lennox the Master's bulk.


4

He runs his hand over Dean's torso, dropping down to stroke his nearly hairless abdomen but stops short of touching his tightly-strapped cock, instead moving behind him. 

Slow, sensual contacts like this are a feature of this and other Zeus films, it pauses the action and shows off the physiques of the models generating a sexual tension between them. And between them and us! It's a feast for edgers and I personally enjoy it but action seekers may find it frustrating.


5

Lennox takes Dean's wrist and attaches it to the arm of the T-bar (using the clips provided!).

Dean does not resist.

We realise at this point that Dean's wrists have not actually been restrained up until now, although his ankles are, they are shackled to eyelets fixed to the platform to prevent escape (see 1). 


6

Lennox attaches Dean's other wrist to the opposite end of the T-bar, placing him in full restraint with his chest stretched wide. We get a nice view of the Master's rather succulent torso and a glimpse of his cock ring which is tantalisingly erotic.


7

With his sub safely restrained, Lennox quickly homes in on those nipples. Dean averts his eyes as though he finds it distasteful. Possibly that's because they've already received a great deal of attention in earlier scenes. His cock shows little sign of arousal stubbornly flaccid. There's another nice shot here of the master's chunky body.


8

For me, this shot is gloriously erotic. Deans undulating torso is beautifully highlighted, also the incongruous absence of hair and shaping on his deep abdomen which seems to make him seem more than simply naked. Doubly undressed you might say and the hint of grow-back serves to somehow emphasise that. Lennox's hands, placed flat on either side of it demonstrate his control. 

The tiny glimpse of Dean's cock-strap, not quite hidden by the Master's head, tells us exactly what is going on and is surely much more sexy than an explicit, graphic shot. It's as if Dean's entire body is channelling downwards towards his Master and being sucked in, devoured.


9

This is almost a comic moment. Dean's equipment still shows little sign of responding and Lennox sits back as though he can't quite believe it. Dean seems to be frowning too, but his spread arms seem to be saying, "What can I do? It's got a mind of it's own!' 

Personally I don't find this state unattractive, it seems to cry out for comfort. 

Beyond this focus of attention this is a nice shot of the restrained man with arms pulled back. It shows off his thick thighs a treat, I'd love to see them clad in tight shorts (in the manner of Scott of London).  


10

Lennox gamely has another go, his hands gliding up across Dean's torso to encourage him. His crouching figure looks good but there's a submissive element in it. As ever in these scenarios, one starts to wonder who is really the Master here? 

However, Dean's restraint in this image looks more severe than it first appeared. We realise that the post he's tied to leans backwards and since his feet are shackled astride it, he's pinned in a continuously off-balance position which he can't recover from. The relatively loose restraint doesn't help, it amplifies his vulnerability.


11

It's only fair to point out that Dean has been wrestled, screwed and produced a generous ejaculation just before this scene, so this state of affairs is not remarkable, let alone a reflection on his prowess. 

Strangely enough his physique does seem diminished and awkward in this shot, whereas Lennox grows in stature.


12

This is supposed to be an S&M movie so Lennox responds by slapping Dean's torso.
It's another great shot of them both with Dean recoiling from the assault.


13

 Dean looks suitably chastised and bewildered here, but he certainly hasn't lost any of his sexiness. The V-shape of his faintly haired groin arrowing down and framing his root here is extraordinarily erotic. Lennox seems to be brushing the bush with his thumb.


14

Being able to respond to pain in a sexual manner is the ultimate test of a sub.
Lennox continues to encourage him with clawing .......


15

.... and also by pinching, he just can't resist those tits!

Dean's agonised responses perhaps compensate his Master for his lack of response lower down, especially as there's not just pain in his facial expression, but resentment too. It's a demonstration of Dean's natural aptitude for this type of scenario.


16

Lennox stands, assuming even more intimidating bulk and raising his hand threateningly.
Pinned and helpless, Dean shrinks (no irony intended!)

It's a great confrontation image. 

At about this point, the photo at the top of this post would fit nicely, but the ball tweaking shown there doesn't actually happen in the final movie, possibly it was thought too risky.


17

As Dean recoils from another slap his body seems to grow again , the equal of his attacker. His head turns away but he is not cowed. In fact it's almost disdainful. Lennox ends up touching him gently as though regretting his violence. 

You get an impression in this movie that Lennox is greatly attracted to Dean. Dean has a gift for looking petulant and resentful all the time, but there are moments in the wrestling sequence where he's clearly having fun too.

No actors were harmed in the making of this movie. In fact, the violence is very mild, slaps and punches are held back and indicative rather than authentic. The stills exaggerate the effect.

It's a marvel to me how the Zeus photographer regularly manages to crop these live shots so that a tiny bit of cock ring shows, reminding us that this man is nude and something interesting is just out of the picture. Showing his cock is not a legal issue when you have frontals elsewhere, but it's a sexy 'signature'.


18

Lennox, frustrated, raps Dean on the chest with his fist.

Both models look great here. We get the best view yet of Lennox's chunky physique, nicely sheened from their exertions (and another glimpse of cock-ring!). Dean's stretched out body is no less impressive with the restraint obvious even though it's all out of shot. His body is defenceless and we are treated to his stand-out nipples, thick thighs and even a touch of buttock shaping in the shadow.


19

Lennox seems to be saluting him here as he prepares to go,

 "I'll be back" is his ominous parting shot.

The pose gives us an even better shot of his competition-standard physique. His mannish face is a great pairing with Dean's 'pretty boy' appeal.


20

Dean watches him go looking tired and dejected.


21

Dean is battered, bruised and now rejected, but his inner fire has clearly not been extinguished. He looks serious, as he digests in Lennox's last remark with the implication that he will not be released just. He has to stay and suffer more tests. For how long has not been revealed to him.


22

 A shift in the lighting reveals a trickle of body fluid down his torso. It seems an apt echo of the sorrow and weariness that shows in his face. You don't need to be an expert to spot that it's not sweat, it's too thick. 

Lennox isn't shown spitting on him in the film, although it's a logical reaction. It might have been edited out. The only other explanation is that it's the cum that Lennox deposited on him during their sexual interlude. If so it wasn't very obvious prior to this shot but you can decide for yourselves what it is. At one time either of these would have spelled out his humiliation and contempt for Dean, but such rituals are now so commonplace that they barely register.


23

The light fades and Dean is left in his increasingly uncomfortable, leaning position to contemplate his situation, trapped as the sub to the mighty Lennox, who seems increasingly besotted with him. He's got time to think about his real life, the things he's supposed to be doing and when if ever he will be able to get back to them.

There's an essential simplicity about this brief scene - just two men and a cunningly-designed post - that I find extremely satisfying. It barely qualifies as S&M and yet it is the essence of that genre, the absence of intense punishment means that we see better the two men and the relationship between them.



'Fetish Sex Fights 3' has a bland rather uninformative title and the Lennox-Dean segment  (1 of 3) has an equally mystifying label 'London vs Sydney, Rubber Rumble' (reflecting the wrestling content). However, this tiny glimpse of the action should tell you that the full movie is a lot more interesting than the title suggests. The  You can view it at Can-Am.


The mitchmen, 'Vintage Bondage' Series:

There's also some retro stuff in my Muscles and Rope series, notably No 11 (Steve Landless by Zeus), No 15 (Robert Black at CanAm & Beau Hopkins at Zeus), No 19 (Can-Am) and No 20 (Rocco De Vega, Zeus). 

This group highlights the issue at what point does a picture become vintage?
