The Curious Art of Joxstrapp - 1

Inner Desires

 

The title of this picture speaks for itself. The Office suit is the height of conventionality and conformity. In a sense, it imprisons the wearer and suppresses his individuality. Ideal training then for the role of leather sub, in which this attractive young man visualises himself. But he has a lot to learn.

 

Leather 1

Here we see an acolyte being introduced to the mysteries of leather fetish in a highly ritualistic fashion. The attractive top who recruited him gives him a graphic demonstration of the sub's surrender of control by applying a blindfold. Being in the dark is not so very different to his job in a government office! A snugly fitting, leather waistcoat provides his first acquaintance with leather on his torso and a mild type of bodily restraint. 

 

The top seems to be inspecting his facial hair, as if assessing his cleanliness. If he's the old-school type that he appears to be, that flamboyant hairstyle will probably have to go once his application is approved. Which it probably will be if he continues to exhibit such calm obedience. His incongruous black underwear will be ripped off and replaced with a confection of leather and metal that puts his sexuality on display, available for external interference.

 

 

Leather 2

 

This image shows a leather master getting his sub ready, as if they are going out to a party. There's a nice sense of soft domination with an intergenerational, mentoring flavour that's almost domestic in nature. Like the trainees above, this sub doesn't exactly look like a leather boy. He has trendy stubble and coiffured hair like someone who works in the media. His clothing is somewhere between normal wear and true fetish, just respectable enough to go out in, but you know it's coming off when they get to their destination, so he can perform his duties for the night. He looks as if he knows it too and isn't particularly looking forward to being a sharing dish again. 

 

 

Leather 3

This is a compelling illustration of a full-on 'domestic'. Reluctance in a sub is OK, in fact it's secretly enjoyed by the top, since overriding it validates his power. But, alas, open rebellion is not an option for a leather sub. Even trainees must show total obedience, lest it causes the Master to lose face. A punishment must inevitably follow this regrettable scene.

 

 

Bondage Window

 

This is the drastic remedy for a sub's insubordination. The casual tape wrapping that secures him seems to show how much he has fallen in his Master's estimation, how much contempt he has earned. Anxious to be rid of him, he's thrown in his harness and leather briefs as part of the auction lot, gifts to his boy that now provoke painful feelings of betrayal. 

 

Slated as lot number 154, it's sobering for the sub to see a stream of men passing by and showing not the slightest interest in him. His tarnished attractions can't compete with a football match, it seems.  

 

You know you are entering the wacky world of AI when everything is back to front and dummies make captives of men. Joxstrapp's title is almost as confusing, appearing to be in conflict with the notice in the picture, but you can see where he's coming from.

 

 

Master 'n Slave

 A sub bought at auction doesn't know what to expect, but a new Master may be expected to keep a tight rein on his acquisition while he beds him in. This Slave has got a whole new bag of tricks to learn, and after his disgrace, will be expected to show eagerness as well as unquestioning compliance. That means putting up with a certain amount of unpleasantness. Well, quite a lot, actually. This one hasn't fared too badly in the looks department of his new owner, but looks aren't everything in a long term, service arrangement.

 

 

Daddy 'n Slave

 This new purchase finds himself in a very different situation. At an open auction, there is a good chance that a reject-sub will fall under the ownership of a rich, elderly gentleman. If he finds his new master sexually unappealing, he can take comfort in the fact that he probably won't have to perform for his pleasure very often. In fact, his first duty is to take a chammy and wash the car. He'd be well advised to make a good job of it, some old gentlemen can be sticklers and uncompromising in their approach to punishment, especially if they believe the new boy has an 'attitude' that needs to be corrected.

 

 

Butt Boys

 

 The acquisition may discover that his new master is rich enough to own multiple subs. He may feel it his duty and right to punish them on a regular basis, given their history. His only pleasure in life, quite possibly. He may derive a perverse pleasure in kitting them out with appropriate penance wear for such occasions and dealing with them together. This provides a useful opportunity for the new boy to get to know his colleagues and learn the tricks of the trade in his new home. Some of the men he meets this way may be nice enough to make the pain they suffer together seem worthwhile.

 

 

Latex Breast Boys

Some subs may be dismayed to discover that they now have a master with a kink for dressing his boys up. They may be called upon to don costumes that don't fit with their view of themselves, perhaps projecting femininity, which is the opposite of what they wanted when entering the world of leather. 

 

They may have to work hard in the gym to develop a body that fills their costumes to perfection. And it is only to be expected that the Master will want to show off the best results to his friends, resulting in a good deal of attention that they will have to put up with, like it or not. These two seem to quite like their new image and the lustful looks it attracts. Whether they will feel the same when told to serve as table waiters is another matter. Waiting on in a backless, latex leotard is fraught with the danger of distracting, intimate touches from behind, and woe betide any of them that spill fluid on the tablecloth.

 

 

Daddy's Boy

This former leather boy has been forced to confront an even more demanding taboo. Some men will take pink lingerie in their stride, this one obviously doesn't, which is why I like this picture of him! He's come a long way from the secret day-dreaming of the first image.  

 

His unshaved stubble here doesn't quite fit the persona assigned to him, which goes beyond girlie into assertive femaleness. Is this another rebellion coming to the boil? For his sake, let's hope his new master enjoys his male discomfort rather than deploring the amateurish female impersonation. There is a confident, faintly mischievous look in his eyes, as if he might do. Or, perhaps he intends to subject his reluctant servant to an all-over shave anyway, so his endearing attempt to preserve his masculinity merely adds meat to the subjugation to come for him in the bedroom.

 

 

Red Lingerie

This rather cute, jock-like sub is already facing the bedroom scenario, anxiously clad in female underwear which does nothing for his sporting image (and not much for his femininity either!). The lingerie has already made him feel uncomfortable, the more so coupled with the satin sheets and pretentious wall decor, which suggest he's been transported to an unsavoury house of ill-repute where all manner of disreputable men will want to take advantage of what he has to offer. It's unclear whether his Master, still clad in formal leather regalia, is to act as his pimp and bouncer or simply has a role-play in mind in which he punishes his sub for his supposed infidelity and prostitution.
