Mitchell - Soldiers, shorts and sexiness

Mitchell - Builder Press-Ganged

A construction site workman is arrested by a Military Policeman after a struggle that has resulted in most of his clothes being ripped off. Interestingly, the cop is tying his hands with rope rather than clapping handcuffs on him. The workman does not seem to find his predicament very worrying, on the contrary, he's positively excited by it*. Perhaps he does not realise that he has been selected for conscription into the expanding British Army and a taste of military discipline is coming his way. The MP's choice was not entirely random, of course, he could not resist the hunky man doing manual work in tight white vest and jeans. Predictably, the Policeman's own shorts are somewhat briefer and tighter than normal military issue, but who wants normal?

 *Unlike some parts of the world, British people find Military personnel a lot less threatening than civilian police. 

 This picture has many connections which date it (rather damningly from my point of view!). The central figure with the ripped vest was inspired by a 'Zipper #31' beefcake model called 'Giano', I think. He posed on a board looking very wet, but I can't find him in my back files for the moment (and thanks to Google's latest 'improvements' to its search engine, it's now disappeared off the face of the earth, until such time as a copy pops up for sale on e-bay). Any offers of help to find him?

Mike Arlen - Military Arrest

The Military Policeman (and to some extent the whole image) was inspired by Mike Arlen's photo-series about an MP arresting a suspected Arab insurgent and being seduced by him (above). 

Arlen's work in this genre and the military shorts, link back in turn to the Royale Studio military imagery of the 50s/60s.

Make Men Wear Shorts

I have a bit of a fantasy thing going on at 'X' based on the idea of men being obliged to wear shorts for work. Snug-fitting ones of course and as brief as possible. I've tagged the posts #makemenwearshorts.

His First Work Uniform
 
In this particular organisation, even the older Supervisor has to wear shorts. It's a creditable nod to equality, but, as you can see, some shorts are more equal than others. The shorter leg length is a probationary thing, reserved for newer employees (young or not). It not only symbolises the difference in rank, but also reminds the new recruits that although they are big boys now, they are just juniors in this set up and still have a lot to learn. 
  

Original, uncaptioned image (click to enlarge)

 I found this image at Kinky Callum's website, but I suspect it actually originates from Houston Visitor. The compulsory wearing of shorts links quite naturally to spanking and AI creators mostly take this route, but I am loath to blur the age boundary and avoid educational settings for my storyline. The more subtle themes of control, humilation and submission of adult men are more important.

Franco's Office discipline

 These Franco images are not so much Lab Rat (see previous post) as Rat Race.

 
Franco - He's been a naughty boy

To the best of my knowledge, this is an entirely new Franco device.
It's a brilliantly simple concept, with the leg-spreading surface creating discomfort for the rider
 and a splendidly sexy view for us. Particularly those with a spanking interest. 
 
An unusual device for an Office, you might think, but it's sophisticated design suggests it gets regular use. Perhaps it's a repurposed ashtray, no longer of any use in a smoke-free environment. At any rate, the Office setting is a refreshing change from the usual spanking worlds of overly-parenting daddies and perpetual education. Franco's all-purpose title doesn't give us much else to go on.
 
AI is gifting some great new faces for Franco's art. This man's fashionably casual, masculine look provides a great persona for the cube rider, suggestive of calculating ambition and polished presentation. In short, the sort of man who wouldn't want to be caught naked with a plug up his ass. 
The hint of sweaty embarrassment on his face says it all. 
 
I have imagined this scene as the interrogation of an Office Manipulator,
caught passing commercial secrets to the opposition.
 
The Office Manipulator (Franco/mitchmen)


Franco - By The First Few Slaps
 
There's a marvellous look on this man's face, too. Again, it's as if he's been caught by a new arrival walking in the middle of a humiliating punishment. His jeans suggest he might be a workman from the maintenance department, or perhaps it's a new, literal take on dress-down Friday. 
 
 
Franco - Stripped and Strapped

 The strap is a spanking tool that allows no prevarication or half-heartedness. If it's not applied forcefully it's not going to even reach its target. There's no scope for faking it. So it seems an appropriate device for dealing with this miscreant who seems to be a bit of a bruiser, well able to stand up for himself. It would take a serious misdemeanour to persuade a man like this to shed every stitch of his clothing and accept corporal punishment. Probably Carter from Accounts, caught dipping his fingers into the Petty Cash. 
 
 
Franco - Introduced To The Strap

 Another hunky man discovers the sting of the strap for the first time. Despite his obvious maturity, he seems to have a pristine, virgin ass, if there is such a thing! If he looks the sort of man who can be easily persuaded, his tormentor looks like the sort of man who is used to having his way. The setting looks like a stately home. Perhaps this visitor carelessly damaged a priceless artefact. There are few remedies in law for such a situation, but the threat of a ruinous lawsuit would make a short dose of pain seem like a soft option to one who was relatively inexperienced. He doesn't know, of course, that the artwork he broke was a fake, substituted for just this eventuality. Let's hope he hasn't agreed to pay his debt in installments.
 
 
Franco - The Song of the Strap

 This strap sufferer looks the exact opposite in character, a toughie with hair on his ass to prove it. That's of little help in giving him protection from a strap wielded as determinedly as this. It's fierceness pays tribute to his butch persona, but, unfortunately, manly hairiness also bestows an obligation on him to bear pain with masculine dignity and not complain. In this image, we've reached the point where his stoicism is breaking down. A roar of dismay finally escapes his lips and his leg lifts in a futile attempt to block the spanker's stroke. It's a moment of triumph for some spankers, to break their man. For others, it's the moment when he ceases to be a worthwhile subject.  
 
 
Franco - Dad's Mad

 I prefer to see this titled as  'The Boss's Unexpected Bonus'. After giving numerous warnings, he's finally taking that lazy guy from maintenance to task for not fixing his radiator. He's amazed and delighted to discover that he's wearing a jockstrap under his jeans instead of the customary desire-dousing, baggy boxers that workmen usually wear. And they're framing the most delicious buns he's ever set eyes on. You can see by the look on the workman's face that it's escalating out of control, but his mesmerising butt is casting a spell that's not going to be easily broken. It's fortunate indeed that he doesn't have to go back to a desk job!
 
 
 
Franco - Fascination

 Franco's provided his own narrative here that explores the sense of control a spanker might enjoy, framing it in the context of a consensual sport. His words create a genuine sense of mounting excitement that would create a great video if synchronised with the moment of ecstasy. 
 
Also buried in here is the age-old belief that 'you like it really, don't you?' That is something that seems embedded in the psyche of many men, who can't quite believe that others are not necessarily what they want them to be. 
 
 
Franco - Daddy's Plaything

For me, there's a sense of mistaken intention here as well, with the young recipient having donned a pair of extremely skimpy briefs to provoke his companion's lust. He believed that the promise to 'batter his ass' was about penetration rather than pulverisation. The top remains inscrutable.
 
 
Franco - Bouncin 'n Spankin
 
Some men really do enjoy it sexually, but you'd be lucky to find one that also looks as good as this. Great, cute face and great physique too, a gift from the Gods. It looks like he's having to concentrate, perhaps wanting to prolong the exquisite joy of pain administered by a generous, patient man. 
This is another 'golden oldie' image given a new lease of life by AI. 
 
 
Franco - Tantrum

AI has gone mad with this image, with stray limbs littering the bottom section, but I wanted to share the key ingredients - (another) great ass billowing out of lowered jeans and a subject who appears to be angrily trying to negotiate a ceasefire when it's obviously far too late! He might desist if he could see the outraged expression it's causing on his tormentor's face. Stop digging pal! I've shortened Franco's original title which is alliterative and defines an age range that I'd rather steer clear of at this blog.
 
 
Franco - Paddled

A room furnished in minimalist fashion seems an apt setting for a naked paddling. There's no restraint being applied to hold the subject in position, which amplifies the sense of his total submissiveness to serious power. There's a touch of the Hospital ward in the bed design which might suggest a medical malingerer being exposed, but I see a manipulative pick-up who lies in bed all day rather than pulling his weight by doing chores around the house. It's such a comfy billet that he'll even take punishment rather than lose it. He might regret that choice in the weeks to come.  
 
 
I found these images in Corpunisfun at deviant art, but unfortunately it's deactivated now.

Franco Milking Machine Art

Franco's lab 'machines' are a favourite part of his work. 
In this post, some recent examples from this genre.

  
Franco - Dr Cumquat's Amazing Milking Machine

Franco's lab rats are usually nude and seem to be naive students supplementing their meagre grants. 
This donor's eccentric, street clothing confers the sense of a more mature, knowing target,
one more difficult to ensnare and more dangerous if cornered.
But with the milker on, it turns out he's just another pussy. 
 
Although it's metal, the milking sleeve is a perfect fit. Amazing indeed! 
It's nice to see the Doctor as a real person rather than a caricature.
 
 
Franco - He gave Cum at the Office
 
I'm not sure what to make of the title here, is this the equivalent of an Office, blood donor session? 
Except it's for maintaining a sperm bank, for the good of the country?
 
The clinical setting and purpose-built extraction table seem unusual for an Office 
and details like the donor's strapping and butt plug 
seem to imply something rather less voluntary in nature.  
 
It's a great tweak of a familiar image anyway. Love the sticky-out ears. 
  

Franco - Mike Gets Milked
 
This is a reworking of another familiar scenario, with the lab rat having to straddle a simple metal box-frame to give his sample. The AI update has given him an impressive muscular development and a truly jock-like face reminiscent of a young Zeb Atlas. This image captures a sense of his orgasmic ecstasy (one of them, anyway). 
 
The collection device here is more self-contained and compact than usual, and the technician observing the procedure seems to be dressed like a chef. In fact, the benches look eerily like kitchen units too. Perhaps the milk is wanted for a culinary process. If they have a rush, Zeb's going to be busy!
 
Forced leg opening is a recurring feature of Franco's images,
 going back to the early 'Milking the Bull' pictures.
 
 
   
Franco - Milking Jocks

This time it looks like Derek Atlas in the frame.(no relation to Zeb as far as I know!). The 'camp bed' platform with it's ass-raising midsection also goes back to Franco's earlier imagery, but the more realistic AI version gives it greater presence. The professor's shameless groping of his helplessly convulsing volunteer actually has more impact than the understated milking device.
 
 
Franco - Milking The Bulls

This image is another new departure for Franco. There a many double spankings in his output (albeit delivered one at a time), but I can't think of another 'dual' milking or lab-rat image. There's a familiar look about the double 'recliner' arrangement, but the interest in this image stems almost entirely from the agonies of the hunky pair of buddies undergoing treatment. The smattering of hair on their bodies suggests they have not been provided by a modelling agency but from a more down to earth source. The milking sleeves are not entirely successful in suggesting stressed organs, but give enough sense of what is happening. 
 
The supervising professor in these images is usually seen to be enjoying his subject's discomfort. The academic detachment of this one adds a distinctly chilling threat.
 

Franco - Pleasure Victim
 
The Professor in this lab has devised a more elaborate milking attachment than usual for this unfortunate male. It seems designed to remain attached throughout the most violent of orgasms. However, it's not the product that has aroused their interest but the production process. There's a back-up technician monitoring the subject's responses. 
 
He's a strapping lad and this upward perspective is flattering to the undulations of his torso, as is the strap around his chest which seems to be securing him to the metal frame behind. It imposes an upright posture on him, which seems to make his manipulation by the lab staff more puppet-like.
(There's a related design in Franco's Monk genree)

Beautifully Bound (in handcuffs)

Handcuffs are the simplest form of restraint, compact and easy to apply.
They do not render a captive completely helpless, but are immensely disabling.
Not easy to photograph though because of their minimalistic design.
Today, a selection of well-made pix of cuffs on well-made men. 
 
1
 
The young intruder who did not get away.
Handcuffed and forced to sit on his feet, he waits and listens,  
as the aggrieved homeowner makes arrangements for his removal. 

 
2

The hunky date that became a bed-slave  
As day breaks, he wonders if the guys at the gym will miss him.

 
3

Proud but puzzled, he poses for his catalogue mugshot, clinging to his modesty.
This man is auction-ready, needing no extra training to secure a premium price.
 
 
4
 
His first night in captivity.
With his city suit replaced by a white jockstrap, he lies in a darkened room.
Wondering what his captors plan to do with him. 
 
 
5

Dean didn't mind his client making him dress him in kinky underwear,
but when he was taken to the playroom in the cellar, he began to have grave doubts. 
 
 
 
  
6
 
The homeless man who found a new purpose in life.
 
The gang swept through the city, securing homeless men with promising attributes.
(And quite a few that weren't homeless at all, but just looked scruffy) 
The pick-up van followed behind, taking them to a place of transformation,
where they would be fed, trained and much more appreciated.
 
 
7
 
 The delivery man, who was curious about what he'd delivered.
He got a delivery of his own, but it blew his schedule to bits.
 
 
8
 
The cheeky student who kept his flat tidy, but didn't pay his rent.
 

9

Weeks of weight training and discipline had led up to this moment.
Today he'd find out how much his new body was worth.
And who his new master would be. 
 
 
10

The sleepover that changed Paul's perception of his best friend.
 

11

Jerry's date had terrible bedding, but he gave a great haircut and shave before breakfast.
Cue sausage jokes. 
 
This is a very old image, but still a great one!
 
 
12

The Arrest scenario is already an AI cliché, but this is a rather good, more original example.
It promises a great 'reveal' down at the station, perhaps we'll see it one day. 
Love the hairy arms and chin.
 
No 13 is at 'X', it's too rude for blogger.

Dr Smith 2 - Mike The Construction Worker (continued)

 
 
16

When Mike comes to, he's lying face down on the settee, in his own home.
He can feel tape across his mouth and finds his hands are cuffed behind his back too.
Then he realises he has been stripped completely naked. 


17
 
Mike remembers Dr Smith attacking him, but can't see him anywhere now.
His groggy thoughts are suddenly interrupted by his phone ringing on the table.
He struggles to get to it before it stops, hoping to somehow summon help.
 
 
18

But before he can raise the alarm, Smith returns and takes the phone away.
Gently stroking Mike, he explains that he needs a healthy male for his experiments.
Then he roughly rips the tape from Mike's mouth and chloroforms him again. 
 

19

When Mike awakens again, it's all very different. 
He's standing in a dimly lit, cold garage, his arms are secured above his head.
He shouts abuse at Smith and demands release. Smith stifles his pleas.
 
 
20

Smith punches Mike and stuffs a white cloth in his mouth to silence him. 
It's a strip torn from Mike's own T-shirt, cut off him at their first meeting.
Mike spits the gag out contemptuously.
 
 
21

The Doctor pummels him again and leaves him hanging.
At that point, Mike notices that there are wires attached to his body.
The cables connect to a mysterious, complicated box placed on the table beside him. 
 

22
 
The Doctor explains that he intends to heal Mike's injuries using electroconvulsive therapy.
 Mike cannot understand what he means, but feels deeply aware of his naked vulnerability.
He tugs frantically at the restraints securing his wrists above his head, but they hold fast.
 

23

Abruptly, the Doctor starts the treatment and Mike suddenly feels it buzzing through him
All his thoughts and anger are swept aside by a mushrooming pain in his chest.


24
 
Again and again, Mike's body is hit by searing jolts.
Until finally he collapses, hanging from the wrist restraints. 
Only then does Smith let him down.
 
 
25

But with Mike writhing on the floor,
he cannot resist giving him one final dose of the treatment. 
 

26

Exhausted by it all, Mike finally passes out 
 
 
27
 
When he comes to, he's lying on a bed, 
but it's not his bedroom, and he's still a captive.
He's gagged and his arms and legs are bound with cling film.
He recognises the metal box from the garage, lying beside him.


28

Smith returns and Mike valiantly demands his release.
In response, Smith picks up two pads attached to the box.
Too late, Mike realises what it is.

 I won't reveal the ending. Will Mike escape? Or is he doomed?
