The Third Sailor's Punishment


 The third of this series by miloivinculis shows the Pirate's inventiveness in keeping his crew in line, but it still falls well short of the practice of keel-hauling used by the Royal Navy.

Stephen's 'Golden Pasha'

 Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' dates from the nineteen sixties. It appears to be related in concept to, and a precursor to, the better known 'Sailors Beware' story, which came out in its first version shortly after 'Pasha', judging by the Kris Catalogue numbering. 

Stephen's 'Golden Pasha', Original Catalogue images
(rearranged from a vertical strip)

The Kris Catalogue entry for 'Pasha' (replicated above) showed 6 images, with all the characters in them respectably 'draped'. Three of them were also published in a larger format in a different catalogue. This article features an uncensored version which I found on the Tim In Vermont website before it was taken down. It didn't give any source information. 

 The three 'big' earlier images are included in the article below in the appropriate places. Unlike the revised version of 'Sailor Beware', the underlying images don't seem to have been significantly altered other than replacing the loin-cloths and pouches with not quite erect organs. No sex is shown.  

 

Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' 1
 
The Golden Pasha lounges in luxury while around him a harem of conspicuously naked, young men entertain him with music, grovel and pamper him. Notice the phallic uprights of his throne.
 
Stephen was quite fond of depicting musicians at this time. I suppose there's a certain innuendo in the horn blowing and string plucking of long-necked instruments.
 
 
Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' 1 (original version)

This earlier version shows all the characters in exactly the same positions. The three on the right have acquired pouches which seem to be carefully detailed with patterns (and jewels in the Pasha's case). The covering of the guard at the doorway, however, seems to have been painted on rather clumsily by comparison. The Pasha's pantaloons have also been altered, extending all the way up to his waist rather than finishing high up on the thigh, like stockings. 
 
Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' 2
 
The Pasha seems to be a hard master to serve. In the dungeon below, those who displease him are chained up, and he personally punishes each of them with his whip. His suspender belt is meticulously detailed and impressively jewelled. It's apparent that the 'Golden' tag relates to his wealth, not his sunny personality.
 
 
Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' 3

The Pasha's maltreatment of his slaves means he must watch them with an eagle eye for any signs of rebellion. But one slave at least has had enough. He has somehow procured a sleeping potion and secretly drugs the Pasha's wine. 

This picture almost seems to shift the scene to Japan, as witness the bonsai-like trees. The intricate decoration of the pillar on the left which includes a Fuji-like mountain, a stylised chrysanthemum and more typically Japanese style patterns in-between (plus an incongruous elephant, which is neither Arabian nor Japanese).

Some of Steve Masters' images around this time featured decorative detail like this. 

 

Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' 3 (original version)

This earlier version is little different. Again, the Pasha's pants have become thigh-wraps and his dick is covered by a jock-like, ribbed pouch (with a jewel encrusted top hem!). We can see more of the foreground, bottom left, which turns out to be a pool with fish and lilies. A show of his opulence.

 

Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' 4

Once the Pasha has fallen into a drugged sleep, his slaves rise up against him. Some have weapons, perhaps taken from the Palace Guards who seem to have deserted their master. Someone, at some point, has removed his pants and boots. As a result, the Pasha lies in a tempting, splayed legs position*. One of the rebels seems to be inviting everyone to have a go. 

*This is a favourite pose of Stephen's, it seems to turn up in many stories, twice in Night Patrol, in image 5 and image 8. The Pasha version is more convincing than some.

Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' 5

The Pasha awakes to find a knife menacing his chest and his treasure chest being looted. Perhaps more startlingly for him, his legs are in physical contact with the intimate regions of two of his slaves. One is resting between the buns of the looter. The other is raised between the legs of his immediate attacker, almost as if they had just had intercourse. Who knows? The threat of the knife seems to be equated with the threat of his dick. A choice to be made?

 

Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' 5 (original)

In the original version of image 5, pouches have sprouted once again, to conceal the less offensive weapons of the attackers.  The disappearance of the primary attacker's dick makes his knife seem a lot more menacing, although he's still deliberately angling it out from his groin. 

 The Pasha's modesty is protected by a casually draped cloth, looking a bit like leopard skin. Oddly enough, that device makes his nudity and vulnerability seem more apparent. His hairy legs, glimpsed in earlier pictures, come to the fore.

 All the slaves' faces have been upgraded in the nude version, in line with Stephen's later technique. In the original, we can see more of the architectural detail of the room, which adds greatly to the depth of the image. We can also see some subtle shading in the trees, which is probably washed out in the later version by the reproduction process.

Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' 6

In the final image, the Pasha himself is chained like a slave and forced to kneel, cringing in submission to his former slaves. He is stripped of his turban, the symbol of his rank, as well as the last vestiges of his clothing (except for one sock). He looks very naked now, and the raised position of his hands, behind his back, suggests he's desperately trying to free himself. Aware perhaps that he will soon make his first acquaintance with the business end of his own, vengeful whip in the dungeon. 
 
This is an interesting study of feet, which are less evident in the earlier pictures, but soon became Stephen's unique trademark. Perhaps the Pasha is being invited to address them with respectful lips. Their exaggerated size here creates a sense of powerful men and menace surrounding the cowed ruler. 
 
The intertwining of the feet with Stephen's signature seems to be deliberate, but it's unclear why, perhaps indicative of his personal fascination with them. I'm afraid it reminds me of sticky carpets in sleazy bars!
 
Stephen's 'Golden Pasha' 6 (original)

This cropped version comes from Drummer in 1976. It's interesting that that particular publication should decide to crop out the whip. It makes the Pasha seem cornered, rather than surrounded. Interesting too, that Drummer don't seem to have had the nude version at their disposal (unless, of course, they preferred the contrast and subtle power of nude vs clothed, i.e. CMNM). Either way, it's a tribute to the essence of domination in Stephen's drawing of this scene.
 
 
The Golden Pasha doesn't quite have the power of other Etienne stories. The draughtmanship is good quality, the sexuality subdued, but bubbling teasingly beneath the surface and between the frames. The Pasha's relationship with his harem/slaves seems to be strictly sadistic. It's they who seem to threaten him with sex as a punishment and humiliation. The simple morality of the story is a far cry from the aggressive sexual subjugations of Night Patrol, Marine Training and Here Comes the Groom to name just a few of Stephen's later creations. 
 
Perhaps that reflects the political changes of the 60s and the greater freedom of expression subsequently afforded to gay men.

Footballer in Trouble by Kinky Callum

 
Coach:- "The Club pays you to score goals, Pirelli,
not to get yourself sent off after 10 minutes! 
Now bend over!" 

 

Pirelli:- "80 swats! That paddle really hurts, Coach.
I think I've learned my lesson". 
 
Coach:- "It ain't finished yet, Pirelli!
You'll get the same before every game
that you have to miss through suspension.
One swat for every single minute!". 
 
Pirelli:- "Gulp!" 
 
 
A week later... 
 
 
 
Coach:- "Stop whining, Pirelli! I warned you!  
You got yourself a four match suspension.
So you'll take my punishment before every one.
Now, where was I?"
 
Pirelli (in an emotional voice):- "Fifty three, Coach" 
 
Coach:- "Right. When I'm finished, you can go and sit on the bench, and watch your team-mates playing without you.
Now brace yourself, Pirelli". 
 
~
 
A week later... 
 
 
Pirelli:- "That was the worst yet, Coach".
 
Coach:- "Yes, Because we lost that last match, you had to sit out.
Consider yourself lucky that I'm not punishing you in front of the whole team. Now, go sit on the bench. Leave your shorts here".
 
Striker:- "But Coach!"
 
Coach:- "You heard me, go sit on the bench!"
 
~
 
Two weeks later... 
 


Coach:- "OK, Pirelli, you've served out your punishment.
Now convince me why I should let you back in the team".
 
Pirelli:- (gulp) "I'm really, really sorry, Coach. 
....blah, blah, blah 
You're a great trainer and I love playing for this team, 
....... blah, blah, blah...... 
I've really been training hard with the reserves, 
blah, blah, blah...... "
 
~

20 minutes later....... 
 
"Please Coach! Let me play again. Please! 
(tearfully) I'm begging!".
 


Coach:- OK Pirelli, I'll think about it.
Get up, go put your shorts back on, 
and get back to training with the reserves.

Lonely Departure


 It was his own fault. Jerry knew that failure to pay alimony to support the kids would incur a legal penalty. It was just that he always had something better to spend his money on. Once he lost his job, the authorities lost patience with him. 

He was ordered to work in the Penitential Labour Corps until the kids had grown up. That meant 13 years working for nothing except his keep, with all his 'pay' going straight to his ex-wife. It was a prison sentence really, he'd be held captive on a farm, in a factory or some other work complex, with conditions dependent on the whims of his employer. No time off or holidays either, unless his Master allowed it, but even then he'd not be allowed to leave the place.

It didn't matter if he liked the job he was given, he had to do it, and his Master would have a free hand to punish him if he slacked or misbehaved in any way. Punishments could be severe, limited only by the need to keep him productive - and some Masters were not even concerned about that. They had to pay the labour fees anyway, and regarded an hour giving a worker punishment as being 'training', an investment that would make him more productive. 

His 'sentence' would begin with an induction course on Hades Island, an old isolation prison just off the coast that had been recommissioned for the work programme. There he would learn correct behaviour before being allocated to his Master. It was public knowledge that the induction was tough. It had to be because many of the men sent on the programme were thoroughly bad lots. They often believed that if they were awkward or violent enough, they'd be sent to a conventional prison. It didn't work that way, The programme kept punishing them until they conformed, and only when they were deemed 'fit' for work would their actual sentence begin.

That was why Jerry obeyed his joining instructions to the letter. A friend had driven him to the remote jetty early in the morning and left him there in his underpants. He'd imagined there might be other men to waiting to be picked up too, but there was no one else. That gave him a few minutes to himself, standing on the wooden platform, enjoying the cool autumn air on his naked body. Then the distant sound of an engine reminded him that he must take off his underpants too, before the collection boat came into sight, lest they catch him disobeying the instructions. 

He dropped them into the wire mesh basket provided to keep the jetty tidy. There were a few other garments and belongings already in there. Anything of value would be taken by scavengers. For some reason, he'd put on a brand new, going-away pair of underpants that morning, someone might want to take them. 

Finally, he turned and walked slowly to the end of the jetty and nervously waited for the approaching boat, that would transport him to a new phase of his life.

Targeted - Home Alone

 
Home Alone
 

When he got a night to himself,
Travis liked nothing better than to shower off 
and lie on his bed to read a good book.

That was just how the two intruders found him.
They'd seen him at the gym and liked what they saw...

Travis never did get to the end of his book. 
But they both got to his end that night.

'Working Late' revived

Mitchell - Working Late

Delighted to see StoneCrooze has transformed one of my drawings with AI at Deviant Art. My storyline was about a skinhead scallywag getting into an office late at night and being caught by an employee, who was working late. After the usual plea not to call the Police, human nature takes its course.

I've always been quite proud of the characterisations of the two men and the sinister lighting effects that imply an element of malicious enjoyment on the part of the spanker. The AI adaptation didn't quite capture that subtlety, but substituted two splendid hunks. 

 

StoneCrooze - Spotlight #4

In the AI version, the intruder is transformed from a skinhead scallywag into a rugby type with ginger hair and hairy ass, which is some way from my concept, but these are characteristics which I love just as much. The resigned, dozy look on his face is priceless. 
 
The AI version of the sadistic employee on the other hand is probably more believable than mine, albeit with the rather dull demeanour of a responsible adult than a wicked devil taking advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime.   
 
The new picture seems more like a Coach and player scenario, but that's perfectly OK. Thanks StoneCrooze!

DJ Beckham - Sexy Wrestler in Trouble


 
It didn't take long for the other wrestlers to show their displeasure at some of DJ's antics. Mark O took him on one side and calmly explained to him that throttling with a wristband was not how things were done in this locker room.
 
I believe Beckham's response was: 'Are you kidding me?' 
 
 
Mark decided that actions might speak louder than words 
and drew DJ's attention to his own vulnerabilities.
 

This exchange was overheard by another pro, Guido Genatto. One of the most feared grapplers on the circuit. It's not recorded what Beckham said to him, but he got a short and sharp response. 
(Embarrassing hold, but his shoulders and trunks looked great)
 
 
If Beckham had a flair for embarrassing opponents with simple holds (see Part 1), Guido was the master of economical domination.
 
 
He was pretty good at hurting his opponents, too. 
 

The lesson was not short and sharp,
it lasted long into the evening.
 

You can imagine how Beckham felt when he discovered his next contest in the ring was against Genatto AND Max Quivers, whose sheer size and spooky appearance would intimidate anyone. Before long, they were stretching DJ's resources.
(His hair was ruined, but at least his trunks looked good)
 

 Guido's holds in the ring were more severe than in the Locker Room.
 

In his turn, Quivers turned Beckham's own locker room fouls against him, wrapping a belt round his neck.
 

 It got pretty rough on the ropes after that.
(probably jealousy at Beckham's fantastic abs!) 
  

Inevitably, they teamed up against him on the mat too.
Here, in a muscle wrenching, double-ender strike.
  
 
With his back softened up, DJ was helplessly suspended
 in a teardrop hold - painful as well as humiliating.
But Genatto lecturing him at the same time was just too much.
 
 
Predictably, other wrestlers on the circuit took advantage.
Caleb Klein had his own bad memory to erase.
He put DJ into the same embarrassing hold.
 
 
The icing on top of his revenge 
was to engulf Becks face with a sweaty armpit.
(possibly unwashed) 
  
 
 
Against the formidable Joey Nux, Beckham courageously piled in,
clad in uncharacteristic, white trunks, as if wanting to remind the fans that he'd got one of the best asses in the business.
 
Perhaps forgetting that the last time he'd worn light trunks,
he'd had a double drubbing from Genatto and Quivers.
 
 
Nux gave him a taste of his own favourite corner pin

 
A comprehensive course in the art of heel.
 

Joey's grandstanding was wasted on poor Becks,
preoccupied with a gag of murky, warm, pit sweat.  
It was probably unnecessary anyway.
He'd already made his point.
 
 
We saw how DJ's spirited attacks were blunted by Wes Ratchet's immovable wall in Part 1. When he took control, DJ was in trouble!
Soon the sweat flowed as freely as the pain in his shoulders. 

 
Thus weakened, another assault on Beckham's back soon developed.
A fine display of domination, with DJ left gasping.
 
 
Another taste of wrestler's heel keeps a good man down. 

 
Against lightweight, Max Ryder, Becks dons his tastiest briefs yet.
But he won't have wanted to show them off 
while trapped in a head-scissors hold.
Beck's days of weighty domination seemed to have ended. 
 
 

Zack Reno is no mean wrestler, but he's not a heavyweight,
so he's not supposed to be able to do this!
Beck's in despair, but still able to show us his sexy side.

Naked Bondage Art by tru3ai - 3

Read this series from Part 1
 
tru3ai - Getting a Nice Tan

 At least he was until the Bondage Squad hit on him.
Unfortunately, their arrival seems to have cleared the beach.
No-one's rushing to rescue him, lest they suffer the same fate. 
Fortunately, he's well clear of the tideline,
 but I doubt he'll still be here come high tide, anyway. 
 
 
tru3ai - Left Alone in the Rain

 This image makes a dramatic contrast with the one above, showing how outdoors bondage is being affected by climate change. No, not really! Our Japanese friends have been exposing prisoners and slaves to the elements as a punishment for many years. Ideally, he should be nude, like the beach boy above.
 
This looks for all the world like a Jungle POW situation, but the prisoner is actually dressed in leather pants. Perhaps it's one of those bondage camp festivals, ruined by the rain. This chap won't be thanking anyone if his leathers get ruined by sitting in a puddle too long. That's a punishment that really hurts a Leatherman. You can understand why they wanted to tie him up, though.
 
 
tru3ai - Left Alone

 This picture has a similar title to the last one, but the captive here is left in the dark. The anxiety and fear on his face tells us he's a recent capture, still trying to come to terms with his unexplained abduction. The ball gag with its jaw-tightening chin strap must be painful. It's a stark message about the ruthlessness of his abductors. 
 
The removal of his clothing conveys a similar message. It makes it clear that it's him they want, not the ransom they can get for him. They've left a flannel in his lap as sop to his modesty and to mop up his sweat, which he's overproducing in panic mode. 
 
I visualise this man as a rich, city type, watching his suit and every other stitch of clothing disappear. It will soon dawn on him that they are gone for good. That might be him on the left, in the picture below, before fickle fate cruelly turned on him.
 
 
tru3ai - Gentle Touch

 I suppose there are great advantages to being purchased by a City Trader. They are rich and value expensive possessions. However, this captive jock looks pretty suspicious about the promises being made to him. Gentle touch indeed! Perhaps he realises that, deep down, a trader is a trader and that he himself is now tradeable. The flattering price this man paid for him confirms that.
 
 When his bodily beauty fades, his value will drop, and he'll become available to men with less money and fewer scruples. A body slave has to live for the hour, but if he's lucky and clever, his inner qualities can become valued, so that when age makes itself known, it might not matter to his master.  
 
 
tru3ai - Nice Stretch

Even the most benevolent of owners will still want to do things with their slave, to demonstrate their control over him. This restraint is satisfying to set up and practical in purpose. It will amuse the captive and keep him out of mischief while the Master is out at the Office, earning their keeps. 
 
Slaves get their board and lodging free, technically speaking. But, it's not cheap, they must be given a good diet and exercise to preserve their looks and their value. If they are cute and clever, they'll worm their way into the Master's confidence and comfy bed. Nevertheless, it is to be expected that they will still try to escape if they get the chance. 
 
This parking arrangement prevents that, and by the end of the day will be a painful reminder of how vulnerable he is if he displeases 'He, who must be obeyed'.  
 
 
tru3ai - Let's Go To Your New Home

 Even the humblest or most resentful of slaves must feel a spark of excitement when the uncertainty of The Auction is over, and they get to meet their new owner for the first time. For the new owner, it's the culmination of an exciting process that began when he spotted the man in the pre-sale showing. Excitement peaked again when his winning bid saw off the competition, and now he gets it all again as he finally takes the slave's chain and leads him away. 
 
 This slave's preparation regime has produced a spectacular physique, but it must have been a spartan existence, judging by the sackcloth skirt he wore for the Sale. To be honest, some agencies dress the men like this to give the impression that they are rough and tough, when really they are soft, ex-accountants or shop workers. There's no telling, you have to treat what the sale catalogue says with a pinch of a salt.
 
If the slave looks dazed, that's probably because he's been sedated to inhibit bad behaviour during the sale process. Then again, he might be genuinely delighted to have been acquired by a handsome and (obviously rich) young man. Maybe he's confused, having been trained for farm work only to discover that his new life will be as a gentleman's servant. 
 
 
tru3ai - Enjoying Himself

Being a slave isn't like a normal job. The first steps are familiarisation with new quarters and an attitude assessment with his new owner. He has to get used to being tied up in the style favoured by his Master, because he's going to spend a lot of time like that in the years ahead. In fact, it may just be beginning to dawn on him that this is his life from now on. All of it.
 
This one's lucky, his new owner obviously thinks he's sweet. That won't last, of course, but his pre-sale course should have prepared him for that. His challenge is to covert that initial appeal into a lasting love. Not romantic love of course, but the love for a favourite possession or pet, which is much more durable.
 
 
tru3ai - Hogtied on a Table

A house slave's life is not easy. He will have chores to do, and there's a good chance that a private owner's hobbies will make demands on him. If his physique is attractive, the Master may enjoy making him into a plaything or a piece of living art to be shown off at parties or exhibited at conventions. 
 
Paradoxically, a good bondage exhibit is expected to struggle and show resentment, attitudes that his Master would not tolerate in any other scenario. Acting angry is made easier if visitors take advantage of his nakedness to probe and grope, or stroke and slap. Even so, it's a psychological minefield for an ordinary guy. At times, he will wish he had been chosen for the simple life of a field slave or a quarry hand, shifting rocks. But if he misbehaves, he may find out that that option isn't any easier. 
 
 
tru3ai - Rope Struggling

 They also serve who only stand and wait. So Milton said, and it's true. A nice physique wrapped in tight bondage is as decorative as the finest of artworks and gives both parties a rewarding feeling of ownership. It's easy to overlook the fact that he's neglecting his normal duties. I love the simplicity and strength of this bondage.
 
 
tru3ai - Tied to a Wall
 
In domestic situations, a slave can attain the status of a much loved pet. Bondage isn't a punishment for him, it's a sensible precaution to keep him safe while his Master is away. A gag ensures he's not a nuisance for the neighbours. The bonds that form between such men make for reunions that are joyful on both sides, but some slaves left alone may experience nagging fears of being abandoned. A good Master takes care to give them reassurance and affection when he comes home.   
 
 
tru3ai - Hogtied on a Table

There's a dinner party on tonight, and so the Master's getting in extra waiting staff. Here they are, waiting in the kitchen, ready to be served up with the coffee. The agency supplies them ready trussed and dressed in cute, leather shorts, a dress code, so everyone understands what they are allowed to do to them. Breakages have to be paid for (or suitable replacements provided).
