Bareass Bahnhof


At this time of year, gays, like other boys, dream of fantastic presents. 
Only to be let down by Daddy Santa with cheap aftershave, socks and 
Christmas Eve pick-ups anxious to get home for Mother's festive food.  

However, if they have been very good that year (by gay standards)
A different Daddy will deliver an extra, special present to them:
A trip on his train to the land where the men of dreams roam.

Unlike some other festive trains, the secret express for gays 
does not stop in the street directly outside their home.
It's a daft place for a train to stop anyway and far too public.

The last thing anybody wants is for gangs of kids (even incipient gay ones)
to rush out and clamber on board for a second bite at Santa's cherry.
Our lucky Gay boys have riper cherries on their mind on this special night.

The entrance to a secret underground station simply appears to them,
but only on this night and only to those who have been favoured.
Being underground, there's no snow of course, in fact it's quite hot.

It's not unknown for men who didn't even know they were gay 
to stumble unwittingly onto the platform, a very special gift for them
They will find plenty of boys down willy-ing to show them their ropes 

And so, come midnight, it's dig into your trousers/jeans/pants
and get out your tickets for inspection by the conductor.
Then it's All Aboard the "Boner Express"!

(with apologies to Tom Hanks)

Kalabro - The Ice Cave

I stumbled across this image by Kalabro recently, 
it features his trademark 'hero suspended in a pit' theme
I don't know if it's new but I haven't seen it before.

It's nice to see buddies sharing their warmth in adversity.
I love the sprinkling of snow on their balls, very festive!

Decorate Me With Candles


We did a secret Santa at the gym this year.
This recipient got an unconventional gift.
In recognition of his dubious contributions.
It gave the rest of us an Xmas treat as well, of course.
His skimpy briefs made his squirming all the sexier.o
We'll whip the wax off and release him on 12th night.

The Rebels of Makett

His Manhood Mocked

The captured Rebels of Makett were proud warriors
They knew better than to expect merciful treatment after capture.
The stripping and mockery of their manhood stung them, 
But they expected death to release them soon enough.


His Cock Condemned

However the Lords of Makett prized the strength and endurance of the rebels.
They preferred to spare them from death and use them in the mines, producing wealth.
Hotheads argued that their manhood at least should be forfeit and their rebel genes eliminated.
Some leaders were so punished in elaborate public ceremonies,
but without their reproductive biochemicals they soon became weak and useless.


His Scrotum Shaved and Sewn Up

And so in the end wiser counsels prevailed
The remaining Rebels were not deprived of their manhood
But only of their ability to use it for breeding - or even for pleasure.
That and years of hard work would be their punishment.


His Containment Clamped and Crushed

Once shaved and sewn up tight, 
Iron chastity clamps were permanently attached
with fixings only a trained surgeon could remove.
Once they were healed in.

With these emblems of defeat and shameful servitude, 
the rebels were paraded at public events for gawpers to laugh at.
It became a perverse custom to grope and rub the clamps for luck.
Though luck that had eluded those unfortunate, captured rebels.

Vintage Bondage - Don Ferrara

Don Ferrara in Bondage (AMG ca 1954)
 

This impressive image of Don Ferrara, tied hand and foot, has a tremendous sense of muscle and bulk having been tamed and rendered subservient. He looks up respectfully to his invisible master utterly helpless on the end of a tether. It's hard to see whether he's wearing a pouch or totally naked. 

The background image seeks to cloak this extraordinary scene in the enslavement practices of the ancient world but I think the architecture is more medieval. 


Don Ferrara in Bondage (AMG ca 1954)

This related image is equally tantalising. The 'hands in front' bondage technique restricts but is not inescapable. However it has the virtue that it looks as if Don is genuinely, tightly restrained, which isn't always the case with bondage from the 50's. Fun to create for the photographer (or his assistant!) and the model too perhaps. 

Don had an attractive face with rounded features that are homely and soft rather than dangerous and sexy. He was handsome in his time, having the look of several film stars from the 50's. College jock good looking, his greased hair was the height of cool. Although he's shaved his torso, there's a nice fuzz of hair on his arms and legs.


Don Ferrara in Bondage (AMG ca 1954)

Don looks just as good in a hog, bringing in a sense of his height as well as his musculature. His open legs are tantalising. It's not the most demanding of hog-ties admittedly, but good enough to allow examination of the goods.

This pose might remind you to of another, contemporary AMG bondage set featuring Leonard Chambers, also hog-tied. I have recently updated it with additional images


Don Ferrara pre-Bondage? (AMG ca 1954)

This image seems to be from the same shoot with Don striking an open, inviting pose, presenting a shapely pouch to us, but with a less than welcoming expression. It's easy to imagine his feet are tied together here and although his arms are not tied, they seem to be 'assuming the position' prior to rolling into the hog. If you like hairy forearms, feast on his!


Don Ferrara (AMG ca 1952)

This is a slightly earlier image, a more youthful Don (aged 26) but already in possession of muscular arms, a well-defined torso and able to fill out his pouch . This relaxed body-builder pose has a disinterested quality that seems designed to allay accusations of flaunting one's body, but for gay men it has a submissive, 'come and get me' feel. Set against the ruins of ancient Greece it suggests an early suitability for being tied up.

Don Ferrara (AMG ca 1952)

Don demonstrates here that he was not overly concerned with protecting his modesty and had a youthful willingness to challenge the conventions and restrictions of the day. His pale imitation of the body-builder's bicep flex pose challenges us to try and remove the fig leaf precariously attached to something that certainly isn't a pouch! You sense he's not going to try very hard to stop you either.


Don Ferrara (AMG ca 1952)

Most body builders were willing to experiment with artistic poses which showed they had sensitivity and were not just musclebound blockheads. In fact, seated poses like this tend to accentuate pure bulk more than conventional upright flexing does and it could be seen as a take on Narcissus gazing at his own reflection in the pool below. Nevertheless this thoughtful introspection makes the model seem less God-like, more human, vulnerable - and accessible.

Don is heavily oiled up for this image and that was and is a normal, bodybuilding practice for display. It's nice to imagine the photographer or an eager assistant, helping out to ensure full coverage. 


Don Ferrara (AMG ca 1954)

The full measure of this stately man, ready and waiting
with welcoming arms

~

Unusually for 50's physique models, Don's life was well documented in his recent Obituary. He was a fireman and lived a straight, married life reaching the ripe old age of 94 by the time he died in 2021. He was a bona fide bodybuilder (as firemen often are) and the article even mentioned his appearance in Tomorrows Man in Oct 1954, although this was an image that had clearly been crudely sanitised (see below). Not surprisingly, his bondage experience wasn't mentioned. It makes you wonder what persuaded him to try it, perhaps his firemen buddies put him up for it! 


Don Ferrara (AMG ca 1954) in Tomorrows Man Oct 1954

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to spot that this image has been censored.
The photo is taken against the same background pattern as the fig leaf image above.
Perhaps this is the moment when the fig leaf fell!

Choosing to publish this picture out of all the images AMG took of Don seems like a deliberate attempt by TM to signal the availability of illicit nudes. Also, for this image to be known to Don's friends in later life suggests he had a dare-devil streak and no regrets about any youthful indiscretions and experiences. Which goes some way to explain the praise he attracted on his death.

Domination Art by Russ 3 Cops and Leathermen

Read this series from Part 1

Russ - Cop Search

This scene is a perennial, favourite opening for a porn story, a cop searching a motorist whom he has just pulled over for some violation or another. His fingers go looking for incriminating evidence (or something) up between the suspect's legs. Cops in this era are Tom in Finland country, but for me this image has a sniff of Etienne about it, blended into Russ's eclectic but unique style. 

There's a classic video that opens like this with the subject dressed in sexy, khaki shorts which somehow make his search all the more invasive. Having established the suspect's suitability, the two men adjourn to a barn where the cop administers a fierce belting before... well, you know! I know it as The Barn but I don't know what the correct title is or who made it. Anyone know?


Russ - Cop Probe

When a cop's got you on the rack in a remote lay-by, things can happen that aren't supposed to happen - whether you like it or not. There's a trade-off in this story, just as there is in  Night Patrol by Etienne - sex in exchange for tearing up a ticket. In Night Patrol it's an act of appreciation (or a cruel joke) after the cops have had what they wanted, here it's an up-front deal, but the cop's clenched fist is a tell-tale sign that the suspect doesn't really have much choice. 

It's tempting to see the influence of Tom of Finland here, in the content and composition if not the style. His 'Highway Patrol' (Kake 22) was also published in 1980, and has a similar scene to this in it, except that it's the cop that gets some cum-uppance in Tom's story. 

It's also interesting to compare this scene with the climax of Night Patrol by Etienne. In that story the shafting of the suspect over the bonnet (hood) of the Police Car is spectacular but doesn't look quite 'right'. Russ adopts a less ambitious approach to depicting what is essentially the same scenario and while it doesn't capture the same sense of excitement, it's more convincing anatomically and sexually it's more intense. Penetration imagery in this era didn't usually show significant shaft length between the two men like this picture does. 


Russ - Cop Probe

After reneging on the ticket deal, the cop discovers his two victims are leather guys and have got teeth. Here he suffers the humiliation of being taken captive himself and having his uniform ripped open. More painful retribution will follow, but that's not all. It seems he has a evil, murderous reputation and the leather community decide to exact their own justice by taking him out of circulation. The eagle badge in this image represents their adoption of him and is a prelude to his new life of indefinite captivity and painful servitude.

Cops differ from other gay sex-icons like the Sailor, the Cowboy and the Superhero, in that they are not just figures of lust in their uniforms but threatening, all-powerful and unpredictable men to be feared. Gay porn usually provides a psychological palliative to that fear with the fantasy that they are (only) out for sex, but there's a greater satisfaction to be had in turning the tables on the truly nasty ones.

There's another of Russ's mouth-stuffing gags in this image. The moments he has chosen to illustrate for this story do not have the same energy as the earlier images in this series of mitchmen posts, but there is greater erotic intensity. He understandably uses solid black shading for the cop's uniform in these pictures and it produces marvellous effects in the cop's leather pants and boots, but is less successful elsewhere where it replaces subtle line shading and disturbs the visual balance.


Russ - Jones Beach 1

In 'Jones Beach' a young surfer becomes besotted by a vision in cut-offs and shades. This very 80's object of desire reacts aggressively to his attention, pouring homophobic abuse on the young man. However, that doesn't stop him from lingering with his admirer and coercing him into a sequence of humiliating and subservient acts that suggest a very different agenda.

Russ uses his softer, more realistic style here, capturing the open space of the beach with it's constant, lurking danger of discovery, not least by Police patrols. That threat makes the victim's predicament seem both frightening and exciting at the same time.

Russ - Jones Beach 2

Eventually, the surfer/swimmer is taken into the trees for an even more painful test of his admiration, out of sight of passers-by. It's already clear that his hero's homophobia is a front and having punished the hapless beach boy, he demonstrates that the gay ways he professes to despise are not entirely alien territory to him.

After he's taken his pleasure he leaves the surfer in the bushes, still tied up and bent over a bough. There he's visited and taken advantage of by those who haunt such places, including a cop. Eventually though, his new-found master does return to claim him in a happy ending with a twist.

Some of the detailing in this picture is quite remarkable - for example the bully's boots and the bough over which the victim is bent are graphic art of the highest quality. Notice the return also of the dangling gag.


Russ - White Water Run 1

These illustrations were provided for a story about a leather clubs motorcycle 'run' and they are focussed on the induction processes of that world. In this image a young, blonde acolyte is being trained in submission with some boot-licking practice. This is a similar scenario to the surfer training in Etienne's Road Kings. This trainee's "Gates of Hell" cock strap was a much advertised accessory in the 80's but they don't turn up in art very often, probably because they require a raging erection, but at least this cock is pointing downwards! 

The artist's depiction of the muscular, leather man here is a striking success, creating the impression of a firm, but benevolent master. There's some similarity to Tom of Finland's creations but this is a totally original and very perceptive image. The on-looker in the doorway is an existing slave in the story but you can imagine other scenarios, e.g. a buddy awaiting his turn to be trained (willingly or otherwise).

Russ - White Water Run 2

This domination image owes a lot to Macbeth with a more forceful boot worshiping scenario being enhanced by a variety of exaggerations of scale and drama. The big boots that typified Macbeth's work are given an extra cruel twist by Russ who adds pointed studs to the soles but he doesn't use the same crazy perspectives. His more conventional viewpoint produces a result that is less wild, less energetically aggressive but more intense. The heightened sexual flavouring (including the giant cock) is all his own work.

Russ - White Water Run 3

In this spit-roasting image Russ pays homage to another great artist of the 80's, the Hun. He's extracted one of that artist's typical scenarios and replicated the facial expression of the victim too, but the resemblance ends there. Russ has translated the scenario to the world of leather clubs rather than the Hun's preferred hunting ground of prisons and sleazy truckstops. Russ makes the man in the middle here more mature than the Hun's innocents too. He has used his own, more realistic figures and drawing style to recreate the erotic essence of The Hun's imagination.

Russ - Leather Man (cover for 'The Leather Journal')

This striking cover illustration is a decade on from the imagery Russ did for Larry Townsend and it's a more mature, accomplished style. I'm not 100% sure it's the same man but if it is, it shows considerable artistic growth. 

The spiky cartouche framing the subject is a modernistic, vaguely satanic expression of the fiery, hard passion (bordering on anger) that lurks within the Leather Man's soul. It's scarcely subtle but expressed  much less directly than the flailing belts and harsh domination that mark out the action pictures in this collection. There's an interesting construct where you might expect a motto to be that brackets, almost nudges, the sexual centre of gravity, depicted as a latent source of great erotic power, but temporarily restrained. This slightly mystical interpretation of the leather religion is contrasted with a meticulous depiction of his elaborate leather outfit and carefully trimmed hair, showing the more worldly, conforming, sometimes vulnerable dandy that is also part of this tribe's character. 

~

Russ has a unique style that draws heavily on the inspiration of the artists of his day, but the drama and passion that infuses his best images is probably better executed than any of them. There are glimpses of extremely accomplished draughtsmanship alongside more mundane imagery, but it's not easy to identify a recognisable, unifying style in an era which was rich in artists with unique signatures - The Hun, Macbeth, Sean, Cavelo, Etienne and Tom of Finland. This is perhaps why Russ has received less recognition than he deserves over the years since then.

There's no site for him as far as I know.

Milking Factories 15


Sarander - Milk Farm 2

Sarander actually calls this a Milk Farm but it meets all the requirements for inclusion in the mitchmen Milking Factory series. There are multiple milk producers being extracted by machines in a uniform manner. If you look closely, it even has orderly production lines, which isn't  always the case. Some of the men have their heads encased in helmets which may be punishment devices, but if this is a more enlightened employer*, they could be providing sensory experiences for males who don't get excited by watching other men being pumped out. (*I use the word employer in the sense of using, as in 'employing a tool', I don't suppose for a minute that these men are being paid!)

At the back a couple of new arrivals are being manoeuvred into their places on the line by robots, an admirable investment in keeping the line clinically free from contamination. It also avoids unseemly struggles with operatives within sight of the other beasts while connecting them up. Judging by the look on the face of the nearest one it's a sensible precaution. Another robot (right foreground) seems to be carrying out a quality control check, or it could be an on-the-spot pasteurisation using heat treatment.

These owners have obviously chosen to extract from both mature and younger plums. If they have perfected the ancient art of blending juices then a refined and complex palate pleaser may await us in the tasting room after our tour of the shop floor. Of course you may prefer to avoid sampling their produce on the premises, there's a rumour going round that likely lads are sometimes 'recruited' that way by adding a little extra to their glasses - and it looks like age is not a bar to serving either.

Sarander often shows aliens in images like this, beam me up, Scotty! None are visible here but it's certainly an unconventional, psychedelic sort of environment. Of course that may just be highly sophisticated form of conditioning, perhaps to convince the subjects that they are in a nightclub with the man of their dreams lurking somewhere in the crowd.


Sarander - Milk Farm 1

This earlier variant of the image seems only to differ in the lack of an extraction device for the young man at the front and also in the overall colour treatment.

 I have featured a Sarander milking picture here briefly before in an end of year Hit Survey. He 's done a lot of images in this vein and this is one of the best I have seen. 

I can't locate a site for him, info from you via comments is welcome

Domination Art by Russ 2 - Rustlers & Hustlers

 Read Part 1 of this article

Russ - Round Up 1, Over the Horse

This marvellous domination and bondage image was used as an illustration for a story about a novice cop who is abducted by the local leather group. It's his bewildered, outraged and attractive face that makes this image so striking and draws us in. Surrounded by leather boots and giant cocks the enormity of his predicament is more apparent to us than it is to him. Russ contrasts the muscularity of the leather men with the captive's leaner physique, showing he's out of his depth, but he also gives him generous stubble to show he doesn't lack masculinity - even in this fix. Like the jogger in Part 1, we can't see the faces of the men who are dominating him but you can almost smell their leather. 


Russ - Round Up 2, Cowboy Captured

The prelude to the cop's abduction involves the annual pageant of a small town, the highlight of which recreates the hanging of a celebrated rustler, who miraculously survived his sentence, only to be hanged another day instead. The cop volunteers to play the part of the condemned outlaw and is kidnapped afterwards, still in his cowboy kit (see above). Russ captures a cute clumsiness in the unfortunate captive. That's a gag in his mouth by the way, not a 'manifestation'.

In this image the 'outlaw' is being led away by a noose round his neck while his arms are being pulled backwards and upwards by a second escort behind him.   Unfortunately the image cropping here (presumably to accommodate the magazine layout) dilutes that fetish element considerably - almost to the point of invisibility. The mock hanging isn't illustrated at all and the leather men take him to their club and strip him so, sadly, the cowboy theme, so promisingly broached above doesn't have any sequels.

The attractive shading of these images seems to owe something to the technical style of Bill Ward who was a contemporary of Russ and then at the height of his fame in the US and the UK.

Russ - Round Up 2

Naturally the leather initiation begins with a spanking and this occupies a considerable amount of time in the story. Luckily the cop realises he likes being dominated and used by the leather men (Phew!). 

His new master proves to be butch-looking with muscles and a pugnacious face, a look that's more athletic and mainstream than the likes of Val Martin and Brian Dawson (below) who were the leather pin-ups of this era and cultivated a more mature, sometimes sinister aura. Russ captures the dom's sadistic determination here and the impression of a short arm whiplash. The slap of the leather is understated but you can sense the contraction of  buttock muscles in response.

The story eventually resolves with the happily-inducted captive discovering that his selection was not entirely a random consequence of his volunteering role.

Brian Dawson
Russ - Hustler Slave 1

In this amazing image Russ adopts a more conventional drawing style complete with background detail and shadowing that looks back towards the academic. But he still incorporates cartoon-like exaggeration and clever distortion, this time to produce sweeping, stretching body shapes which convey the drama and dynamic tension as the captive hustler desperately struggles to resist his captor even though his fate is already comprehensively sealed. There's a sort of Ying and Yang balance between them at this moment that foreshadows the sexual conjunction that will ultimately follow with the captive unwittingly angling himself towards his captor's improbably bulging jeans.

Russ - Hustler Slave 2

But before sex, the hustler must first prove his mettle and comprehensively submit. His face here has lapsed into a youthful version of Round Up 2 above but that's not reflective of the story it illustrates where the street experience and toughness of the hitchhiker-hustler is crucial to surviving his unsought taming and training regime. It also leads to an ultimate willingness to serve, having been bested but not crushed. 

The leather man is not depicted as  a run-of-the-mill representative of his class either but exhibits impressive solidity and power. This 'Macbeth-ian' stance set against the willowy, suppleness of his captive produces another memorable depiction of domination and demonstrates the essence of training with the sub's arching body being inexorably drawn against his will into that special place between his master's legs, unsubtly delegated here to a dildo.

Domination Art by Russ - The Jogger

Russ - The Jogger (1)

It looks like someone butch followed this jogger home
But he doesn't look too worried about it! 
Embarrassed perhaps, about what he was watching on the telly.

The jogger's split-sided shorts were an 80's athletic fashion which allowed freedom (supposedly) for athletes in their sporting endeavours. For spectators it revealed chunky, upper thighs and sometimes more. It was a style that imprinted itself permanently into the erotic psyche of many impressionable young men at that time. These shorts can occasionally be spotted on tracks today and are still turning heads. 

Russ - The Jogger (2)

The cuffs go on, but we can relax, this rough domination is clearly as much a turn-on for him as it is for the faceless intruder. His face transforms, showing an altogether more pugnacious side.

The 80's was the era of Drummer when leather culture burst into the open, championed by the likes of Larry Townsend and Tom of Finland. S&M fetish art suddenly acquired a vividness and exuberance that pushed hard at the boundaries of  acceptability. Bud's 'Smithy', featuring a branding is a good example and the best work of Sean has the same wild characteristics. These all share a cartoon style that cloaks the fetish happenings in boyish fun, but exaggerates the drama to a level that sweeps aside any reservations about the depictions. The characteristion of the intruder here, with massive boots and slightly bowed legs, references the dark style of Macbeth who was also a contemporary. 


Russ - The Jogger (3)

When he asks for a drink of water, the defenceless jogger is subjected to a double humiliation. 
Thanks to the cuffs he has no choice but to drink it out of a bowl like a dog and as he does so, his upended ass is spanked, his flimsy, silky shorts offering minimal protection. 

The contrast between the clothing of the two characters here is a key erotic ingredient.

The plot rationale for this development is obscure, but the imagery is unforgettable.
The face-splashing in the bowl is brilliantly realised.


Russ - The Jogger (4)

The intruder does not allow his captive to rise to his feet.
The chastised jogger submits to paying his respects in the usual way.
Take your pick of the 3 options in this position*.

After being set up by image 3 this outcome seems a bit humdrum. However, Russ makes a good job of expressing the submissiveness of the jogger who is planted between the intruders legs and slightly leaning back creating an arching, vulnerable body shape. Retaining the cuffs in this more explicit image is daring. The similar (and very sexy) submission scene in Etienne's Night Patrol is completely hands-free.  You'd expect that there would be another more probing, pants dropping to follow, but if there is I haven't found it. 

*the options are: suck, shoot, drench

Beautifully Bound


 Clean, economical bondage is key to this series, that and beautiful male subjects.
This man has a beautiful, lean body, which is highlighted by the overhead restraint
and enhanced (IMHP) by the shaving of his crotch.

'Russian Captured Boys' videos are sometimes quite comical with the fumbles of the bondage 'master' (and the puzzling failure to edit them out). Fortunately, all he has left to do here is give the captive a rosy glow and stalk around looking menacing. The shades are a bit OTT but still count as sinister when you can't get away. Would you like this man to shave your groin for you? 

The captive helps out by looking suitably worried - as well he might with his torso already showing evidence of serious beating. I suspect the tops in these videos occasionally throw in a real stinger, just to keep the slave on his toes and promote convincing apprehension.

Art by Otoko Bara

OtokoBara -  Raka Bondage Trouble 01

Captive cops remain a popular, homoerotic subject in Asian art although they seem to have slipped out of favour elsewhere. This sexy overlay of shibari bondage and partly undone clothing is also a very oriental concept. This image is the start of an incremental, undressing series of 8 images. The 'shirt only' and 'trousers only' ones are both sexy but unusually for me I have chosen the 'naked climax' as a companion example for this image, below.


OtokoBara -  Raka Bondage Trouble 06

The intruding telescopic pointer(?) here makes the cops ordeal seem like part of a presentation to a watching audience. The pointer has been doubling up as a punishment implement, judging by the weals on his body (which is why I have selected this image). It seems to have coaxed him into an impressive display for the benefit of the onlookers.

Links at the foot of the page should enable you to find the rest of the series.

 

I haven't always championed tentacle art here at mitchmen but the grown-up qualities of the muscular man in this example and the sheer sensuality of the image gets it in. As a pencil-bound artist I am envious of the ability of computer aided contemporaries to create semi-transparent, silky and wet textures which are used to the full here to convey the sense of the victims' vulnerability and involuntary excitement, he feels his sexy shorts being invaded and his sensitive areas explored by the marauding arms. 

There's a nice sense of him being lifted into the air, heading towards a sexily arched body rather like a wrestler going into a flying surfboard, however the tight cropping of the image gets away from the sense of detached, dreamlike floating which is so common in this genre. That allows a more down-to-earth  situation to be imagined, like a bed invasion. His wink suggests a typically male wincing in response to the slobbering assault.


OtokoBara -  Obey-Confront

I'm not sure I quite understand the mind control ingredient in this picture but it's a great portrayal of a shibari bondage position. It's a great way to display a captive with the tightly folded legs and bulging pecs indicative of severe restraint. This position is a good deal more unpleasant to experience than it looks. Balanced with his whole weight resting on his knees, the captive soon experiences great joint discomfort and ultimately, if not released, serious injury, so be careful about trying this at home!


OtokoBara -  Waiter 1

Much of this artists work explores the fantasy of mentally undressing fit men who we come across in connection with their work. This waiter is a fun example.  I like his cropped top.


OtokoBara -  Waiter 1

I like this teaser. His facial expression suggests he knows we're looking!
Or at any rate feels uncomfortable.

There's probably a nude variant of this picture with all the trimmings at Patreon.


OtokoBara -  Cyclist 1

The lycra-clad cyclist is a modern homoerotic icon. 
His pec-reveal here is very sexy and I like the trickling sweat on his arms and legs. 
It seems to be soaking into the lycra around the groin area, a nicely captured detail.

The 'almond eyes' this artist uses work well here, 
again there's that sense that he feels he's being watched!

The artist goes on to give that 'undressing with the eyes' idea a modern twist.


OtokoBara -  Cyclist 2

Who wouldn't want a phone that could do this?
I've seen sun-glasses used for this fantasy in TV ads before,
but this is more a believable variation.


OtokoBara -  Cyclist 3

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds cycle helmets a turn off.
Apologies to those who get a kick out of them.


OtokoBara -  Knives

This artist is quite good at inventing sexy clothing, but this gingham top is a bit left-field.
I'm not arguing with those knives though, the scars are warning enough!


OtokoBara -  Wet T-shirt

Yes please!
