Medicinal Research by Ron-9

Ron9 - Miku (Future)

A naked muscular man is restrained on a hi-tech table while the last dregs of a sample of his semen are delicately extracted from him with a pipette. Despite the cartoony style, his face is a nice portrayal of a butch stereotype who would clearly be quite a handful for the lab staff were he not controlled in some way. Tying his hands together to keep them out of mischief like this is a beginners bondage technique, but the restraint is exceptionally chunky and attached to a crude, but strong chain. The effectiveness of this simple equipment must be very frustrating for him (and enjoyable for us!) .

Since his hands are not free to stimulate himself (even were he so inclined) and since the staff attendant is totally enclosed in heavy duty, protective equipment and can't really lend him a hand, they have helpfully fitted him with a sizeable vibrator which buzzes away in the moist cavity between his legs (which are being held wide open, presumably by a similarly, weighty strapping around his ankles). 

Whether it's because of the vibrator, the bondage, the strangely-garbed attendant and weirdly impersonal set-up or perhaps because of the forced and invasive nature of the extraction, the burly patient seems to be producing sizeable quantities for them. (The use of glass tumbler makes me wonder if this sample is destined to go into someone's gin and tonic rather than for medical research!)

 


 This is something quite different. It seems to show the assembly of a bionic man who is apparently being fitted with a 'Hyper Power' extension to his cock and doesn't approve of the adaptation. Or perhaps he's a total robot, mystified by the useless device between his legs. The augmentation situation is the reverse of the extraction above but no less manipulative and interesting on that accounr. However, the styling of the man(?)'s face is not as characterful or satisfying and I confess the rolled back skin makes me squirm! I'd be glad of any help from readers in understanding what exactly is going on here.

 Ron9's images are usually dense with detail in vibrant colours and for that reason are probably better enjoyed in small doses, so I've resisted the temptation to expand this article into a wider review of his work. 

There's a Ron9 gallery at YaoiAI

There's also a Ron9 user at pixiv but it doesn't look like the same Ron9 to me!

Aerial Bondage


A spectacular image of a humiliating and demanding restraint. 

The bamboo support frame is artfully constructed in true shibari fashion to be visually satisfying. It seems to be swaying in response to the captive's struggles, probably creating unpleasant friction against his neck and feelings of insecurity that must be amplified by the tight and fiercely demanding bondage position. 

Interestingly, the upper cross pole seems to be just a structural and artistic part of the frame, having no direct role in the restraint although it would seem natural to flex the captive's legs over it. Perhaps that option was rejected as offering too much reassurance of safety to him.

There's evidence of a more conventional spanking having preceded this punishment, so this is corner time with a vengeance! I'd prefer a more mature subject but then again would an older man have the flexibity to endure this?

 I have this image labelled as being by 'Murka' but it's not signed and I can't find any other reference to him on the net. Interestingly Google Image Search classifies this image as 'aerobatics'!

The Art of Luxuris - 2

Luxuris - O.C. (2018)
 
In Part 1 I introduced the 'OC' of Luxuris and his sprouting, rabbit-like ears (presumably indicating when he's feeling randy). He has muscles, a variety of tattoos which come and go and, as you might expect, a generous endowment seen here straining at the leash. Luxuris usually portrays him as a mischievous, 'cheeky chappie' personality.

Luxuris and Redgart
 
This image shows a more intense side in a vigorous, romantic encounter with the O.C. of the artist 'Redgart'. The base drawing is largely the work of the latter, but he picks up the Luxuris' style by way of tribute. Tongues are intimate, bulbous buttocks contend with skimpy swimwear and there's a hint of rip as well in this brush on muscle beach.
 
A collaboration between Luxuris and Red_Gart
 
The idea of an O.C. originates from the world of digital games, where a player can adopt a persona and equip him with a selection of powers and attributes. His choices might well reflect the player's own personality and aspirations allowing him to identify more closely with his 'representative' in the game. Applying this idea of 'character tailoring' to the ancient, artistic tradition of self portraiture greatly extends the possibilities for self expression in that genre. It allows the artist to communicate something of his 'inner self' which is limited in a conventional painting to devices like clothing the subject appropriately and including symbolic objects - for example, a Bible, a sword, a flower, a skull. 
 

Luxuris - O.C. and Beast (2016)

I don't know if it is possible to port O.C's between computer games yet, but in his own imaginings an artist like Luxuris can transplant his O.C. into any game environment he chooses. Thus this image shows a charmingly cute O.C. removing his underpants/briefs in the presence of an ox-like beast with an overpowering presence (whose identity I've not been able to establish yet). O.C.'s expression looks angry but determined, as though he's complying with an order, scared perhaps, but still defiant. Bara characters often have this angry expression, but it infuses a tremendous tension into this particular scene. The contrasting sizes of the two characters also helps. 
 
(You might also read this scene as an explorer trying to keep his pants on despite interference from behind, but I'm not sure that would be in O.C.'s character!)
 
I really like this picture.

Luxuris - O.C. and Beast (2016)
 
In this sexy sequel the contrasting sizes are necessarily less extravagant for practical reasons. O.C. has acquired a harder, more muscular appearance as though drawing on inner reserves to steel himself. But  but the challenge facing him (or should I say probing?) is no less daunting. His bunny ears are wilting, his face flushed and that determined grimace looks very strained. Still, the beast's intentions seem very loving and at least one part of O.C.s body is responding positively and rising to the occasion! Great image.
 
 There's a touch of Absolut Bleu about the characterisation here, a slightly more plastic style.

Luxuris - O.C. as MEKA
 
MEKA is the acronym of a Korean defence force from the game 'Overwatch'. This picture shows O.C. trying on the outfit of one of the female characters thereby producing a gender blurring image, although this kit looks completely different on the lithe figure of the original wearer. The pec cups are interesting (if improbably skin-like) and O.C.'s bulge seems to have found unexpected stretching capability in the female-width gusset!
 
In Part 1, I included an image, Tracer and Zarya which also drew on gender cross referencing. I'm glad to say that the characters Luxuris ends up with are unambiguously male but have some of the artifice of female allure added to their portfolio of attractions. It's not drag but tokenistic cross-dressing, a fetish area which is as old as time, remember the vintage comedy of panty theft from washing lines? More recently it's been acknowledged as an ingredient of mainstream male erotica, notably in the work of Gentlemen's Closet and Men at Play
 
 
Luxuris - Superman
 
Costume stretching is also the essence of this image of Superman and clearly a cause of great consternation to him. It's not exactly appropriate behaviour for his family friendly image nor for his popularity with the press. Thank heavens those old red over-briefs got the heave-ho! They always looked absurdly big in the original incarnation of this character but would have still been no match for this monster. The picture captures rather well the idea of a handsome hero with very human (very male!) vulnerabilities.
 
Needless to say, perhaps, Lux has produced a series of variations on this image in which Supe's kit gets shredded and he is goaded into a MO (messy outcome) by an unseen assailant.

Luxuris - Little Mac and Captain Falcon

'Little Mac' is one of the most endearing of the game characters adopted by Luxuris. He's inspired by a boxer in the "Punch Out" video game who always dresses in a black tank and green shorts (with matching green boxing gloves). At the hands of Luxuris he has to contend with opponents with bigger, non-boxing capabilities. This image sees him pitted against Captain Falcon (from the F-Zero racing game) and still managing to look particularly cute. Having lost his shorts he can't be in much doubt about where Captain Falcon is heading and it shows in his face.
 
Two other artists have picked up this pairing: See the sequel by XhromeR and sequel by Heading South
 


Luxuris - Little Mac and Ganondorf

Luxuris presents Little Mac as fair game for exotic species that have wandered in from other game universes, in this case Ganandorf from the Legend of Zelda. I love Mac's look of bewildered dismay and the glimpse of his boxing boot and pumped calf is an unexpectedly sexy detail. Little Mac's boxing gloves may be useful in the ring but in non-conventional fighting against punch-resistant opposition they are a positive hindrance, bestowing a degree of helplessness on him that is unique and distinctly erotic. This may be why he is often characterised in gay fanart as a passive receiver.
 
In these two images Luxuris explores a similar theme to that of 'O.C. and The Beast' above. Both men are cute, sexy, out gunned and intensely desirable. Both are ultimately overwhelmed.


Luxuris - Little Mac and Ike

Little Mac is given a well-earned reward here in the form of a romantic (human!) date with Ike from Fire Emblem. Luckily his gloves seem to prove no hindrance to him enjoying himself in this situation. The 'crossed swords' imagery here seems to owe something to Tom of Finland's iconic pair of biker lovers. That connection adds romantic depth to a memorable validation of gay love.

Numerous other gay (and straight) artists have been inspired  to produce Little Mac Imagery but Lux's images are probably the best of the bunch.


Luxuris - GladiolusAmitica and Terrified Partner

Gladiolus Amicita with the eagle shoulder tattoo is a character from Final Fantasy but I haven't an ID on his partner here who apart from his obvious endowment almost seems like a regular guy at the gym or club. He's as cute as Little Mac but has a more developed, more manly look that makes him a obvious target for marauding super studs. One of the delicious ironies of the art of Luxuris is that massive members abound but few of their owners seem to relish a taste of their invasive sensations. This one looks positively terrified although it looks like he's been a willing partner up until now. 

The figure drawing here is very good but the exaggerated assets a little OTT for my taste. You wouldn't normally be able to see both cocks and it's not a very convincing deception. I'd settle for a glimpse between the receiver's legs indicative of his size in exchange for a better sight of his ass. Talking of which, are those cane bruises on his cheeks?

Luxuris - Barbarian and Warrior

It's the dominant figure who is cutest in this refreshingly human combination with the defeated(?) Warrior picking up the mantle of 'yeah, whatever', angelic do-gooder, previously seen in Part 1. Not quite blond though and he's hanging on gamely! The Barbarian's furry cloak and boots frame and emphasise his nudity rather nicely and their animal associations imply qualities in him which seem to have risen to the surface (for good or ill depending on your point of view). Luxuris has managed to create a sense of his bulk 'enveloping' his leaner-framed partner. That's a warmly erotic element, one that he also seemed to be aiming at in 'O.C. and the Beast' and 'Little Max & Captain Falcon' above. 


 
This image featuring Joe Higashi (left) a Thai Boxing fighter from 'Fatal Fury' has a more earthy focus on gay sexuality. Joe has a goofy, playful persona alongside his fighting capabilities and this scene captures that, clearly fun to be with! He features in a number of Lux images but I confess I included this one mainly because I like the rolled-down swimming trunks!
 

Luxuris - Baird in Trouble
 
The character of Damon Baird from 'Gears of War' has a distinctive and rather butch appearance
 which Luxuris has nicely captured here. He usually portrayed clad in overalls and chunky armour with trademark goggles, which makes his naked muscles (etc.) here a thrilling discovery, leaving him to follow in the footsteps of that other, much-lusted-after hunk, Chris Redfield (see Luxuris Part 1). You'll gather I have a liking for seeing mature-looking men on the receiving end in this type of situation. 
 
The game characters used by Luxuris in these images come with their own colourful backgrounds and CV's, contributing extra depth of interest for games aficonado's in the know (which I confess I am not). Thus the 'real' Baird is noted for his technical, problem solving skills rather than his combat capabilities which makes this predicament a rather apt choice. The bulky plug challenging his anal orifice is similar to that on which Guile was posted in Part 1 but Baird does not seem to be restrained like him, giving him the chance to put his problem solving to good use (if he can bring himself to concentrate).

Art by Devils Three

 

 This strikingly-lit, bondage image is by the Chinese artist 'Devils Three' It shows a young man looking anxious but excited, perhaps anticipating his first experience of sexual bondage. His tight cropped hair suggests an element of streetwise toughness in his character, making his uncertainty in this situation deliciously revealing.  The bands of light falling across his body suggest the room has been darkened for privacy, while the sheet spread beneath him to kneel on indicates a messy encounter is planned. These domestic details give the scene a strange atmosphere of furtive experimentation with the unknown but exciting world of fetish.

This group of sketches is inspired by the character Takeshi Kovacs in TV's 'Altered Carbon' but it has the same sense of domesticity, enlivened of course by the undressing panel. Men in the process of undressing are a consistent thread in this artist's work. If you look closely, there's a rather edgy juxposition of underpants and cigarette which is quite startling when you spot it. D3's recreation of the character is closer to modern Manga stereotypes than the actor's true appearance but his technique shows great technical skill and confidence.

 
Erotic inspiration in everyday situations is also a driver of this image, which shows an office worker searching for the pen of his (somewhat authoritarian) boss, after it has fallen on the floor. It connects to a fantasy where the boss gives his young employee a good seeing-to before resuming work as if nothing had happened (see link below for the full series).
 
 It sometimes seems as though rank and seniority have a significance in Asian cultures that we cannot really understand in the West. The ruthless world of Financial Services perhaps offers a comparable culture but I suspect it's not the same.
 

 
This is not part of that series but shows a similar outcome. The collar here indicates an extreme of subservience beyond the normal world of commerce but it's clearly not a leather role play either, it's more domestic in nature, like the first image. The bold simplicity of technique in these pictures is impressive.

 
This study takes the statement of submissiveness further by showing a lead attached to the collar and the explicit sexual contact (which gives a rational reason for kneeling) taken away. This man also appears to have fetters on his limbs, as though he's in a state of permanent enslavement. It's not clear whether his downcast expression reflects discontent with this status or is due to feelings of abandonment, because his master has let go of his lead and is neglecting him.
(Shades of Sonic in the haircut!)


At first sight this man might be the slave's master, but once again he looks more like a regular guy rather a stereotypical porn top (no tattoos, notice!). He's not dressed in leather garb either but ordinary white underpants. I say ordinary but snug fitters like these ought to be compulsory wear for all men! He looks at us with a calculated allure, radiating confidence in his own sexuality. His collar is a thought-provoking ambiguity, this man is too complex for simple labels.



 

Office situations are dear to D3's heart and he calls this 'The Kidnapping of a Civil Servant'. It was this image that first alerted me to this artist's talents - the simple bondage, partial undress and snug fitting underwear have much appeal for me, particularly when it's portrayed via clean lines and sensual skin tones. The nipple just visible through his shirt is an example of the joys of computer-aided artistry. This picture belongs to one of those series where the same figure is progressively altered to show a (generally predictable) sequence of erotic events......


Ideally I'd like to see the remains of this chap's shirt somewhere, but the gag and outbreak of sweating are pleasing. You might at notice at this point that there's also an enticing element of moistness in his underwear. The shadowing of the torso is interesting, transforming the ordinary 'guy next door' seen in the previous picture into a muscular hunk! Series like this often show fantasy creatures, this one has the great virtue of being about a real man.
 

Nudity, invasive explorations and more sweatiness follow with a messy finale. 
 
The disembodied hand here is an interesting touch (!), suggesting to me that this artist is visualising a personal involvement in the proceedings rather than leaving it to A N Other. The indentation of flesh by hands and fingers is a detail often overlooked but it adds greatly to the sense of real physical contact, which is after all a pretty crucial ingredient in erotica, particularly in static imagery. Asian artists often strive to capture such intimate contacts, for example it's quite common to see the unseen, inner workings of penetration depicted. 
 
Again, visit the link below to see the rest of this group of pictures.


Back to the domestic for a more commonplace undressing situation with a touch of humour as over-eagerness leads to entanglement and delay. His partner meanwhile is more patient, content to enjoy the sensuality of their closeness, still clad in his underpants. This is a very sweet picture, a very positive portrayal of gay love.


This untitled image continues the theme of undressing and underwear. This bikini-like underwear has very revealing qualities and is not often seen cladding male bottoms. The young wearer in this picture reveals a charming embarrassment at his own boldness in posing in it.

The technique used in this image, like an unfocussed photograph, is quite different to the cartoon line drawings above and shows this artist has a fascinating range of skills.

Here the artist experiments with a different sort of embarrassing sexy bottom display. The hands-tied captive in this picture is the character 'Killer T' from 'Cells at Work'. As the image and name suggest, he's hard and ruthless. His open shirt revealing well-developed pecs reflects an element of sexual bravado in his personality, but it seems that split pants that reveal bare ass goodies within are not part of the script, hence the consternation written all over his face. Nice. 


There's a hint of rip in the waistband of this man's underpants, the result of an over excited grab perhaps. However there's certainly no embarrassment for the wearer here, the open back window of the briefs shamelessly provides all the view and access anyone could want and what's more his pose is calculated to make the most of it. 

The body lines here are sketchy and minimal, but the man's face is lovingly detailed with sensuous tones. It really does convey what he is doing and the undivided attention he is giving it.

 


This is the only fantasy creature I have found in D3's output but mermen are one imaginary species that does catch my fancy.  I think it's due to the bondage-like entrapment of the lower body. There's actually a degree of gender ambiguity in his depiction but I'll overlook that. His look of sexual allure resembles the expression of the whip-wielding character above. The rock rubbing demonstration is also highly sensual and neatly avoids the awkward question of what these creatures look like below the waist.


This joyous final image needs no commentary,
save that it shows a capable hand and pleasing eye.

Art by DooSoo (aka rntentn)




This Korean artist seems to specialise in big men and I quite like this series of a handcuffed, chunky guy grovelling on the floor and being abused by his captor. It's nice clean artwork. The images are called 'Humiliation Floor' and obviously come from a comic strip but don't have full details, it's included not at the outlets below. The debris scattered around is suggestive of private eye or adulterous situation to me, but I'm guessing. The heart-motif underwear pops up quite a lot in modern renders which suggests it has roots in a game series.

Soccer Bondage Humiliation

 

Images of soccer players in bondage are not exactly uncommon, but they often posed either by excessively young or else overly burly men and rarely seem to embody the essence of the professional footballer that captures our interest on the field. That is, a man who is typically mid 20's with a fit, lean physique, powerful thighs and, more often than not, an eye-catching, trendy hair style. These pictures are an exception and come from an unexpected source, BreederFuckers.

 

The model is shown changing into (above) and (top) wearing the Argentina Football Kit which has the great advantage of being an authentic-looking and relatively traditional design, uncluttered by garish advertising logos. Argentina have the good fortune that their flag provides attractive colours for their National team to wear, colours that always flatter a man, especially one with dark skin.


As usual with this studio the model is lured by the promise of a professional modelling assignment which quickly leads to captivity and humiliating bondage. For once he is allowed to keep his clothes on as he is tied up and gagged. You can see already that his physique is a good fit for the role of footballer.

In the UK, Argentine Football is forever associated with Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God', an illegally handled goal that helped put England out of the 1986 World Cup Finals. Because of that, seeing a supposed member of that team lying on the floor of a changing room, tied up as though being kidnapped, is a not unpleasant sight and the bridle gag he has been subjected to is perhaps not inappropriate either.


It goes without saying that nipple pegging is good too, but this image featuring a torso-revealing shirt lift (Step 3 in the Amalaric lexicon of forced undressing) and invading hands groping underneath it is full of erotic triggers anyway. The shorts meanwhile are screaming to come off.


In this marvellous image Liam achieves the feat of looking submissive while he's lying on the ground.

The scrunched up half-mast shorts look a hundred times better in this position and have revealed some attractive white briefs with a very touchable lump visible. Liam's abs have also shifted into some nice shaping but, oh, those thighs! These are thighs truly worthy of a professional footballer and their bulk helps to push Liam's tackle into a more prominent position. The glimpse of stocking top further down adds further to the sense of leg bulk on this man.

The lowering of those briefs and shorts to ankle level does not disappoint us either, confirming the model's delicious man-shaping whilst adding a twist of humiliation to spice an old rivalry.

 

The footballer's thighs look even more impressive in this view but they can't shield his tackle from a bit of intimate anchoring and meanwhile a sneak attack is mounting him from behind. I'm glad they lifted his shirt to show his (no doubt throbbing) nipple.


There's a marvellous sense of awkward helplessness here as his discomforts multiply

 

 I'm not the biggest fan of the 'dick on a stick' beloved by BF and Kink.com, but I'm still drooling over those marvellous thighs and dishelled shorts. There's also a nice bit of under-shirt action on those tenderised nipples.


 

There's a shirtless sequel to the 'fully dressed' episode above, a change of direction possibly made out of respect for the expensive replica kit! Here the model submits to a more restrictive arms tie (it was just wrists before). That's augmented (below) by neck roping that adds a dark, little, extra twist alluding to slave collars and the noose.

This rerun of the capture gives the opportunity for a different shorts-lowering sequence and for me this 'forced undressing' moment is actually much more erotic than it seems to have a right to be.

That's partly because of that perilous 'nearly gone' position they've created, supplemented by waistband-manipulating hands and a glimpse of the underwear inside (Stage 8 of the Amalaric Index). It's also down to the model's tight restraint position which presents an unexpectedly fleshy torso and some sexy plunging curves accentuating the shape of his belly and disappearing 'mysteriously' inside his underpants. 

The renewed attack on his nipples is a bit of a distracting, side show for me, perhaps warranting a separate closer image. The hand holding the chain here could be profitably be transferred to the abdominal area, emphasising the erotic 'reveal' and making a single point of invasion.


Underpants are always a welcome sight although, sadly, the model's previous excitement seems to have subsided. Those tugging hands play a nice supporting role (or I suppose I should say a dislodging role).

 

It's a good opportunity to examine the catch more closely. 

I love the simplicity of this image. Nice body shaping.


 Gagging the man again forces him to lower his head into a submissive position and his hands tied behind lift, emphasising the restraint. I will concede that the swinging nipple chain here adds to the sense of mounting pressure on the captive, whose football socks and boots seem deliciously incongruous.

 


I used this picture in a previous 'BF' post, (Taken Off The Streets 5), it's just so sexy and the sequencing following the shorts and underwear images creates a powerful sense of sudden nudity where it matters! 

The cropping produces a slightly odd image, but gives it a sense of a snatched, unguarded moment not intended to be seen by vicarious spectators.


The muddy boot studs cleverly suggest that this guy's just been snatched off the pitch. 
He's subjected to further new bondage and which has an increasingly ominious sense about it.

Needless to say there's an awful lot more invasive nastiness inflicted on him in the course of these proceedings which you can explore at the links below.

 

Afterwards, there's just time for a bit of physiotherapy. 

A great naked view which casts a new perspective on the traditional 'baby on a fluffy rug pose'

This man looks far more appealing to me than any new-born baby!

 The model in this set of images is called 'Liam', an Irish name that jars somewhat with the role he's playing here, but he certainly looks the part of a Latin, playboy sportsman. 

He's actually of Indian descent so I've added this post to my long-running 'Asian Festival' celebrating men of Asian Heritage (see label at foot of this post).
