AI Art by DirtyMocchaBB -1

DirtyMocchaBB - I Think We Look Real Good
 

A nice group of real, hunky cowboys.
They find new arrivals irresistible.
(Provided they look just like them). 

Such is life! 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - I Have Been Waiting For This Moment (1)

This construction site opportunist is more open.
About both his preferences and intentions! 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - I Have Been Waiting For This Moment (2)

The unlikeliness of seducing this handsome prey, in broad daylight, on a building site makes you imagine there must be some disreputable leverage at work. But we all have our kinks, preferences
  - and skeletons in our closet.
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - Please Queue Up While I Clean Your Body

Perhaps this sexy, building sight ritual has something to do with it.
The men look as if they put up with it just to please the boss. 
He wants his hunky workers to look clean and smart.
But, it's also a good excuse to get close up and personal. 
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - You Asked For It

 The boss of this office seems to have similar odd ideas about keeping his staff clean. It's bad enough when the office cleaners come in and sweep up while you're working. When they come in to vacuum you personally, it's far more distracting. 
And more than a little disturbing
 
You can see this operative is single-minded, not about to let project deadlines deflect him from his allotted task. This employee must submit to being cleaned! I suspect the underwear exposure (and vacuuming that will follow, down under) is a gratuitous punishment for resisting. 
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - This is the beginning

All controversial office procedures have the same ambiguity baked in: just whose benefit is this for, exactly
 
The artist's caption is even more doom-laden than mine. It looks as if there's not going to be much privacy allowed either. I wouldn't want to be in Peterson's shoes, but I wouldn't mind making a tactile check inside his shirt!
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - I Feel Fit And Good

This worker looks shell-shocked. Not wanting to be found lacking in the breast scan, he took a triple dose of muscle enhancement powder last night. Now he wonders if it was a trifle hasty. 
Like AG-Rens Transformers, he's busting out all over.  
 
Not only that, his shorts, worn at the boss's insistence, are now so tight that they are extremely uncomfortable to sit in. But if he stands up, they are going to become an irresistible homing beacon for his wandering hands.  
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - Worship My Feet

I can't say if this is an employee perk or the exploitation of a PA. You never can tell. The AI construction of the boss's figure is a bit off, but I couldn't resist that splendidly, face-smothering foot and the open crotch beyond. Tight, grey suits are almost obscenely erotic.
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - You Seem A Little Lost, Can I Help You?
 
It's easy to get confused when you join a new organisation, but Dale was completely flummoxed when the boss relieved him of his shirt at their first meeting and strapped a collar round his neck. It wasn't how he thought Office hierarchies worked.
 
It was so unexpected after he'd been give a welcoming drink of fresh coffee. Everyone else gave him the lousy stuff out of the machine, but the boss prepared one from scratch, just for him. Afterwards, he felt unable to resist his instructions for some reason. 
 
Despite his compliant mood, however, he just couldn't bring himself to take off his trousers. He got as far as undoing the top button, then froze. Something from his upbringing wouldn't let him do it.
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - Oh No, My Briefs Are Showing!

"Never mind" purred the boss, "I obviously miscalculated your dose. But I'm happy to do it for you, as you are such a promising prospect". He knelt and slowly undid Dale's zip.
 
 "Nice red briefs" he commented, "but I'm afraid only white underpants are permitted in this office. I'll have to confiscate them, but you can come back for them, when you finish work. I'll even put them back on for you". 
 
"Yes Sir. Thank you Sir", Dale replied obediently, not realising he'd be using that phrase a lot during the end of day review, which he hadn't been told about yet.
 
 Some of this artist's captions are priceless, others simply baffling!
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - Come On, Give In

 This was one such daily review, I'm told, though reportedly not much work was discussed. There's a marvellous controlling strength in the boss man here. I dread to think what the title means, the poor wretch in the wheelbarrow position seems to have 'given in' quite a lot already. The sacrifices one makes for career advancement! 
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - I Need A Ride

It was not unknown for the long-suffering (male) citizens to be relieved of their clothing on their way home. Everyone else on the train looked the other way, of course, calculating that the poor sap would need to borrow money or cadge a lift from someone, and it certainly wasn't going to be them driving a naked man home. That's the effect commuting has on gayest and kindest of men.
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - You Are Arousing Me
 
Seemingly good Samaritans sometimes offered a hand,
but often turned out to want payment in kind. 
Or payment in pants, you might say.
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - My Neighbour Says He Loves My Tan Lines

Even in their own homes, men were not safe. The creeping criminalisation of secret, voyeuristic, picture-taking drove those addicted to the sport out into the open. There was no law that forbade brazenly man-watching someone on his own property (paparazzi-style). Just as long as they didn't touch and didn't publish anything, the police regarded any complaint as just a 'domestic'. 

 
DirtyMocchaBB -Two Cowboys, Hot and Hunky
 
I'm closing this selection with another cowboy picture that is sensuous, romantic and very erotic. The styling may be pure AI, but it's created colours and texturing that make the picture memorable in its own right. One for the living room wall.

Guys in Uniform revisited - 1. Double Discipline (updated)


 Article in preparation

More about Guys In Uniform Studio  

This series of articles aims to update and extend my original survey of the work of 'Guys in Uniform' at mitchmen

 

Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline 01

Above: An atmospheric staging of a disciplinary session at a military establishment. The two offenders hang their heads, deferring to the punisher's authority and anxious not to aggravate him.

There is a colour variant of this image which reveals that the man in authority here has removed his shorts, they lie on the floor at the back. Apart from that incongruous detail, it seems a logical first image in continuity terms. Like most of 'Guys in Uniform' output, this set doesn't have a discernible storyline.



.
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline 02

The two men 'assume the position' under the watchful eye of their nemesis, who is properly dressed now, but seems in no hurry to start.
 
The images in this article come from a 'Guys in Uniform' set which I have called 'Double Discipline'. It is probably the best known example of their work - with good reason! The situation of two men in PT kit, up for punishment with a cane, is memorable. You are immediately struck by the tight and very brief, white shorts, which visually are an advance on the efforts of Royale Studio. Of course, Guys in Uniform had the option of using flimsier garments than Royale did in the 50s. 
 
Royale's black and white images of men in shorts were bedevilled by 'white-out' of shorts under the glare of bright lights, erasing the details. The wider availability of colour 20 years later solved that problem, although the bending figure on the left above is a near miss. The pants are lit to show off the target areas very well, and the glimpse of bulges between the legs is amazing. The hems of their shorts show off chunky thighs, while the ankle socks with blue hoops (also classic sports wear in their day) reveal solid calves - these men are fit!
 
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline 03

The Offender who is first up lowers his shorts and the ritual begins.
The blond-haired man wielding the cane here is not entirely convincing as a military disciplinarian, but I suppose we might regard him as an 'Instructor'.  His skimpy shorts have a thick black waistband rather like those worn by professional boxers. In fact, there's a striking resemblance to a pair of shorts worn by a hunk, who graced the front cover of Zipper 45 a few years later, in 1984 (below). 
 
Boxer on Front cover of Zipper 45
 
Sadly, this man didn't appear anywhere else as far as I know, and the shorts fashion didn't catch on for official contests.  
 
There's a break in continuity in the images we have at this point. You'd expect another picture very similar to No 3, but showing the 2nd offender taking his turn to be caned, a classic 'double'. He does indeed get his lot in the next image, but much else has happened in the meantime...
 
 
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline 04

In image 4, the first offender has been dispatched to stand facing the wall and his hands have been tied behind his back, suggesting a rebellion might have quelled. His shorts are in a higher position, a concession, perhaps, to allow him to shuffle with dignity. Or perhaps his unsuccessful attempt to 'cover up' was responsible for his wrists being restrained. The Instructor is not yet finished with him, but his raised head suggests he remains defiant.
 
One of the two stools has now disappeared. The remaining man lowers his shorts and takes his turn alone.  
 
 
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline 05

The indentation visible here shows the instructor means business.  No 2's filthy shoes won't have gone down well with him, and might have earned him something extra. (However, they afford us a convenient way of distinguishing the two men, in the absence of visible faces). 
 
His colleague at the wall dips his head, as if acknowledging his comrade's treatment, but whether in sympathy or sudden dismay on his own account is impossible to say.  
 
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline 06
 
Having completed his allocation of strokes, 'mister dirty shoes' takes his turn at the wall. His shorts are now down round his ankles. We can only speculate how that came about, but he seems to have decided it prudent to leave them there, so we get to appreciate his chunky backside. 
 
He seems to be standing protectively over a glass of water that appeared in some of the earlier pictures. Finding the session too hot? Well, you might detect a rosy hue to his cheeks, but this studio didn't go beyond mild simulation. No doubt, though, there must have been some playful taking advantage of the situation. Purely in the interests of authenticity, of course.  
 
No 1 is recalled for a second dose, and his kneeling position here suggests he's still not being co-operative. You can see the front of the Instructor's shorts quite clearly here with the badge in the waistband, not to mention a telling bulge underneath. He has a number of tattoos on his arm, which spelt 'rough and butch' in those days. That bodes ill for the rebel.
 
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline 07
 
You sense a certain extra energy and determination here, as the Instructor resumes his thankless task of correction. His swing is hampered, though, which won't improve his temper.
 
My eye is drawn back to the man facing the wall, he has a beautiful figure and an upright posture (a cross between at attention and at ease) that is very manly. There's a treat for neck freaks, like me (despite a near 'white-out').

The Transformation Art of AG-Ren

 Some years ago I showed some images by Siproites and Yomero (JesusOnTheRocks) that showed men unexpectedly undergoing total transformations into very different beings, stereotypes loaded with challenging qualities for the average Joe. Since then, photo-manipulation techniques have spawned a host of muscle morphs and body enhancement images, but the artists tend to ignore the possibility that the subject might find his changed body and status less than desirable, which makes for a much more interesting situation. I suppose BedVC's 'combatants', conscripted into mysterious, hyper-male roles, might be an exception, but their reactions to the predicament are largely masked.   These images by AG Ren make an interesting contribution.

AG-Ren Boyfriend's Shorts
 
 Massive thighs are a natural consequence of some sports.
Giving the process a hand seems innocent enough..... 
 
AG-Ren - Big Bag Basketball Player
 
But beware of The Law of Unintended Consequences.
A big bag might seem a good idea in erotic dreams,
but it's not a great advantage in energetic sports.  
 
  
AG-Ren Overtime For Office Workers
  
Bigger muscles might be a great way to attract fans
and might even distract a batter into an error.
However, a sportsman looking for media adulation, 
might find TV has a problem with this pants display. 
 

AG-Ren -Big Breasted Sportsman
 
There are other embarrassments for sporting types who overdo enhancement treatments. Their new bodies not being accommodated in normal sports apparel, for example. This guy had to improvise special jocks for his weighty  junk, much to the amusement of the others in the locker room.
 

 
AG-Ren - Tease
 
Developing mega pecs seemed like a great way to attract admirers.
But Willy's nips became over-sensitised in the process,
an erotic trigger that soon became an embarrassment to him.
As word got around, everyone came to try their luck.

 
 
AG-Ren - Opponent or Partner?
 
Inevitably, like attracts like.  
Casper's felt his efforts to develop a powerful, manly physique had been in vain, as men with bigger pecs and even bigger personalities drew him in. He found himself mesmerised and dominated when he had wanted to be the dominant one.

 
AG-Ren -Big Breasts in Latex

Of course, many men who took the plunge were delighted with their new bodies. Old latex suits, which had never seemed to fit quite right before, suddenly clung like a second skin, deliciously peelable. Now they showed off the impressive growth of flesh above the waist and also below.



AG-Ren - Enlargement

Not every man found enlargement to be a liberating process. Unapproved treatments were emerging and causing strange reactions. Pete, an advertising executive, found himself to be the horrified owner of enormous melons which burst out of his shirt when he wasn't expecting it, triggered by a weird light effect the boss had installed in the Office foyer. 
 
It wasn't just the visual effect that dismayed him, he had to carry the damn things and they were very heavy. He didn't like to think about what was going on in his pants.  


See also Roger's Bra Crisis at 'X'




AG-Ren -Big Muscle Bros

Nor were such embarrassments confined to public spaces...
 
Gee! What happened bro'? 
You're not usually this big!
Have you been messing with my supplements? 


AG-Ren -Superman Ripped Butt
 
You would not think that Supes would need to mess with body enhancement, but his human side had its full share of vanity.
Unfortunately, his Super side caused the 'supplement' to go into overdrive. His suit was designed to withstand any stress, but in the middle of a mission it gave way, 
first at the rear ....  
 
 
AG-Ren -Superman Curvy, Ripped Suit
 
....and then at the front
 


AG-Ren - Office Workers
 
Next day at the Office, Clark Kent was wary of attracting attention. He'd found an XXXXL size shirt and pants but sensed his body was continuing to expand in every area. Already his pecs and biceps were straining to escape. He dreaded running into Lois - or Jimmy!
 
AG-Ren -  Muscular Man in a Suit
 
Kent tried to restrain the growth with a harness under his shirt, but it didn't work, and soon seams were giving way again and the cascading sweat just made everything worse....

Guys In Uniform Studio (Updated 29 Jan)

Article Incomplete
 
Guys In Uniform - Sailor in the Rigging
 
Guys in Uniform Studio* set up in the mid 1970s, producing sexy pictures with a strong flavour of military discipline. It was much inspired by the example set by Royale Studio in the late 1950s, and the personnel involved reputedly had connections of some sort with Basil Clavering's set-up (see below). 
 
As an example, the photo above directly references the 'Sailor in the Rigging' images of Royale Studio and Hussar
 
 
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline

 Guys In Uniform created many Gym Discipline scenarios which also mirrored Royale storyettes which usually featured a gym horse, providing both context and a handy frame for punishment 
 
 ~
Ever since the release of the British Photographers' collection of Royale and Guys in Uniform images, this Studio has suffered from being called 'Men in Uniform' in some quarters. However, it always used the 'Guys in Uniform' label in its short existence, as shown in the image above. There was never a Studio called 'Men In Uniform'  
 ~
 
The pictures of both studios pushed at the boundaries of acceptability for their respective times. Royale's beefcake images flirted with homosexual innuendo and sadism, which was strictly taboo in the 1950s Britain. By the late 70s, when Guys in Uniform was formed, gay lifestyle magazines were commonplace and even frontal nudes were permissible (if flaccid). However, the combination of nudity and discipline scenarios' was still highly controversial and problematic.
 
Guys In Uniform - Double Discipline

 This image is similar to Royale discipline scenarios, but they did not show their subjects undressed like this.
 
 
Guys In Uniform - The Investigation

Both Studios openly used genuine servicemen as models, particularly Royal Guardsmen (sometimes in authentic uniforms). This shocked the establishment and provoked police raids to seize their material. In Royale's day, anything to do with homosexuality was hushed up by the press, but in the case of Guys in Uniform there was a full-blown scandal when a tabloid 'exposed' that real Guardsmen were posing for nude photographs in homosexual magazines. 
 
There used to be an interesting article at milism about the history and the connections between the two studios, but the link no longer works. I am presently seeking the permission of the author to reproduce it here. PENDING
 
Guys In Uniform - Cover of Uniform Magazine, Issue 2
 
Like Royale and Hussar, Guys in Uniform supplied their images to the Gay Magazines of their time - Him, Playguy and Zipper. Many of them were printed in colour. They also published 3 issues of their own 'Uniform Magazine' (above). Surprisingly, though, it only had black and white photos.
 
Guys In Uniform - The Harness


Guys in Uniform ventured into one area where Royale and Hussar had not dared. This leather harness/apron was part of a provocative (for its time) exploration of leather and rubber fetish, a subject which formed a major part of their output. 
 
Royale Studio - Man wearing a Leather Harness
 
Recently, a solitary image has come to light suggesting Royale had a similar harness, but images of it were never published at the time. This photo formed part of the Bonham's sale of photographs by Basil Clavering in 2021
 
The saleroom stated in their prospectus that the collection of hundreds of Royale Studio images had been "acquired by the present owner in Notting Hill in the 1980s, from a fan of Studio Royale (sic) who had tried unsuccessfully to mimic its success". This latter reference sounds like the 'Guys in Uniform' experiment.
 
Royale did publish a series of fetishistic images with models wearing pouches made from chains, but the Dolphin set 'Leather Merchants' seems to be the limit of their venture into the leather scene.
