Bondage art by Louis N (AI)

LouisN - Captive in Cage

 This inventive image of a captive restrained within a bell-like cage or frame was produced by an artist called LouisN. The frame clamps his legs (firmly indeed) in a wide spread, leaving him open to all kinds of possibilities. The scrolled decoration suggests a captor with an expressive taste in decor. 

 All titles in this article are mine 

 

LouisN - Captive Boxer in Steam Punk Restraint

This image from a videoette shows a boxer being beaten while trapped in an even more exotic restraint apparatus. One with design influences ranging from medieval Gothic and heavy metal to Victorian Steam Punk. In his plight he's probably too bewildered to appreciate such nuances.

 

LouisN - Bondage in Black

This leather scene is almost mundane by comparison, but the normal conventions for this genre are imaginatively adapted. For example the artist has substituted silky shorts for the usual leather, not tight either, but worn loose enough to stimulate the wearer. 

 

The outdoor setting introduces variables which are normally rigorously excluded from leather activities (except for the community's Summer Camps!). Namely, the threat of public discovery and adverse weather, an extra layer of uncertainty and potentially psychological and physical torment too.

 The leather apron worn by the master here makes an unexpected connection to recent mitchmen posts about Guys in Uniform (1975) and 'Leather Merchants' (Dolphin/Royale, 1961). 

 

LouisN - Bound and Gagged

The artist gives full rein to his preference for silky clothing in this fanciful re-imagining of a 'Bound and Gagged' magazine cover. In the UK, tracksuit bottoms like this were once widely associated with a certain type of unrefined, ill disciplined, young man, earthy qualities that are still irresistibly attractive to many gays. 

Such men also make appropriate subjects for those with an interest in correction. The high-tech chair used here makes a quirky combination with dungeon style restraint chains, but the heavy iron collar and fetters ought to give any hooligan pause for thought.  The electro mechanism suggested in this image is potentially extreme, as evidenced by the subject's profuse sweating. But it's dangerous in reality, strictly for fantasy, don't do it. 

Imaginary magazine covers like this are an interesting new genre of gay art entirely created by the AI revolution, I've featured examples by Remixing Reality at 'X' in the past. Paradoxically the real thing is rapidly disappearing as a result of the current technological tsunami.

The sepia, aged look of LouisN's simulation is a sad reminder that the much missed, original Bound and Gagged title ceased publication 21 years ago, in 2005.

 

LouisN - Track Suited Jogger Restrained

 

This videoette offers a less drastic but simpler and equally unconventional disciplinary mechanism for youthful bad behaviour. It majors on frustration with personally-focussed restraint that avoids the pitfall of allowing corrupting fraternisation with the other rogues in a conventional prison.

 

The silky pants show their erotic worth by giving glimpses of the groin contours within. There's also a curious alignment of this area with a diagonal bar in the background, creating a classic phallic extension. Did AI dream that up on its own?

LouisN -Soccer Player Restrained

 Unsurprisingly, this artist is also drawn to the tactile and visual qualities of flimsy, modern soccer kit. Like the tracksuit bottoms, this sporting connection offers ample excuses for restraint and punishment. The resemblance of this strip to that of the Argentine national side might prompt wry pleasure for some readers, following events in the recent World Cup. 

 

In this set-up, the usual gag ingredient is replaced by a complex, metal tube which seems to incorporate a valve. The flexible end leads to bottle which is presumably collecting the captive's drool, though not all of it. A chain attached to the bottom of the bottle suggests it can be raised and inverted to return the fluid, if the overseer deems it appropriate.

 

  The extensive, shibari style roping pulls the kit tight around the player's torso but leaves it loose, but erotically framed, at the crotch. A chain stretched across the captive's thighs provides a solid, back-up restraint.

 

 

LouisN - Soccer Player Worshipped

Ultimately, the attraction of silky fabrics lies in their flimsiness and sensuality to the touch and LouisN explores this in two memorable videos that I commend to you. This one shows a player gagged and spread-eagled on a tilted platform, dressed in all-white, Real Madrid kit. He is attended by a similarly dressed fan (or team-mate maybe) who teases and worships him. Apart from the obvious interest here, the captive's authentically chunky thighs are the highlight of this piece.

LouisN - Soccer Player Explored

 

There's a similar set-up here except that the restraint position is different and unsubtly directs our attention in a slightly different direction. A sensitive place that is teasingly approached, but never quite reached. Notice the stray fingertip lurking in this image taken from the video. 

 

In the end, the teasing seems to magically elevate the player under examination to heights of ecstasy. Not as technically accomplished as the previous example but no less arousing.

LouisN - Cage Bondage

 

The artist's preoccupation with shiny material takes an unexpected direction here. I can't easily connect shiny, cargo pants with a real world situation, except stage performers - or pop stars perhaps, who I suppose do misbehave from time to time. He certainly has the look (to me) of a mischief-maker, but I may be unfairly stereotyping him. The shibari ropes pleasantly frame his attractive physique and (thrusting?) groin.

 

Containment within a metal frame is graphic and suggestive, but the restraint shown here does not take significant advantage of the 'tethering' opportunities except in the vertical direction. There is an element of mouth punishment as well as restraint, suggestive of bad language being the cause of his discomfort. The uncompromising, spiked metal collar works well with the gag. It makes a sinister, dark conjunction with the rope dangling above though. 

 

LouisN - Lashed Astride A Bench 1

 

More shiny pants here, highlighting this man's shapely backside but not offering much protection, although it's not actually the target. Shiny skin and swirling vapours in the background project the impression of hot punishment. 

 

 

LouisN - Lashed Astride A Bench 2

AI has not got the hang of depicting the fall of the lash yet, but there's a short video of this event you can view at the artist's website (link at foot of post)

LouisN - Spread-Eagled Captive

 

We're going outside for the next few images. A good-looking man chained inside a wooden frame like this is exposed to the best and the worst of the elements, not to mention anything his captor might throw at him. 

 

His shiny blue briefs seem a trifle incongruous, the black shorts in image 3 seem more 'in keeping' with this situation. He's looking down at them as though they don't belong to him, which could indicate an element of ritual and performance in the proceedings. The colour co-ordinated gag supports that interpretation, although I can't think of a witty or erotic reason for using the colour, royal blue. Maybe he's just amazed how nice they make him feel, reminding him of his manliness, ready to face his punishment.

 

 The captive restrained inside a square frame has echos of an image by Etienne/Stephen, and it's a device much used by Amalaric too. (More Amalaric at mitchmen blog).

 

 

LouisN - Jungle Captive

The artist temporarily abandons shiny fabrics here and lets his shibari (and the innate qualities of the captive) do the talking. He can't speak for himself at the moment! He's not alone in his predicament (see right-hand side) which suggests we are in sacrifice territory. Borne out by the carved column behind him.

 

Young lads are easy meat for this sort of thing, I'd like to see a more mature, white explorer put on the spot. One is in a forthcoming post. This is still a nice image though.  

 

 

LouisN - Captive In The Snow

This scenario is at the opposite end of the climatic scale, but the captive can't complain, one of his captors has even less on than he does, but I suppose he can scoot off to a cabin or waiting car at any time to warm up. 

 

In the video from which this comes, there's sensuality inflicted on the captive rather than violence, with the tugging of his pants more massage than menace. I like the scenario and arched torso, but a fabric fan will enjoy more the subtle attractions of the clothing choice.  

 

LouisN - Captive Jogger.

In from the cold but readied for suspension in bondage and sweating it already. This is the best of the lot for my money. A great looking man with a super bod. Immobilised in economical shibari his pride and joy has been packaged up impressively. So touchable.

 

I've christened him as a jogger, diverted from his morning run by an admirer, who bears him no ill-will, but just wants to breakfast on his sumptuous physique. He does so in the video, reproduced below, and there's more where that came from at LouisN at 'X'

The Agent's call came at an opportune time for Rod, he was low on funds and a one-off job, modelling for an artist, would fill the gap nicely. He was more than happy to take it on at short notice after the previous model had gone missing. That behaviour was typical of his agency colleague, Simon, who was much in demand as a model, but very unreliable. He regularly tested the Agent's patience with his disappearing acts. He'd probably won a bet on a horse and gone to Paris to spend it.

 Rod didn't mind posing naked, that was normal for assignments with painters. He didn't mind being temporarily tied up either, he'd done that gig before and Simon must have agreed to it as well. That thought excited him a little as the artist taped him up and the tingling lingered after he'd disappeared to 'organise his equipment'. Rod could hear him moving stuff around in the next room. 

While he waited, Rod looked around the studio, it wasn't very well-lit, but a picture standing on an easel in the corner stood out. It was almost completely covered with a cloth, but part of a face could be seen where the covering had sagged at the top. It looked like a familiar face, so he moved closer. Yes, it was Simon alright, a good likeness, still smelling of fresh paint, but presumably unfinished. 

 He was curious to find out how far the painter had got and wanted to see how Simon had looked wrapped in the wacky, tape bondage, so he leaned forward and moved the cloth with his chin. Immediately it began to slide off, down onto the floor and there was nothing he could do to stop it, not with his hands tied behind his back. The full picture emerged, and it wasn't unfinished at all - it certainly wasn't what he had expected. 

Looking at the startling image a worrying suspicion began to grow in his mind about this assignment. This wasn't at all what his Agent had told him. Anxiety began to spread downwards through his body into his stomach and the depths of his bowels as he realised Simon's disappearance might have a much darker explanation. He twisted his wrists in the tape. The bondage might be wacky, but it was 100% effective. Then he heard the door open behind him.... 

"Come through, Rod, I'm ready to do you now".

Another Etienne, AI makeover

Etienne - Services Auction

 There's been quite a fashion, recently, for AI-artists doing makeovers of familiar, Etienne pictures. This is the latest that I have run across, and it's a little different. 

 

Stonecrooze - Services Auction makeover #1 (after Etienne)

 As expected, it breathes fresh life into the imagery, building on the military connection which is of more general interest these days than the (implied) leather club of Etienne's original. Stonecrooze has made the characters more mature and hunkier (I love the hairy legs). This is all great.

 

The jockstrap detail, which is the focus of the image, also benefits greatly from the increased realism. However, the fickle finger of the instructor(?) is no longer pointing at 'it' directly, instead, he seems to simply be delivering a more general reprimand. 

 

Of course there's a reason why Etienne drew him standing and pointing the way he did. It's ambiguous, a sort of not very well 'hidden eroticism'. That ambiguity puts the soldier's look of consternation into an entirely different light. He's not just facing a lot of pain at the hands of a succession of men. Now the auctioneer seems to be pointing out a very different threat, calling for a different brand of bravery. However, in the makeover, instead of looking bewildered, the soldier now looks stoic and resigned.

 

This adjustment of the pointing pose does correct some of the awkwardness in Etienne's original - have you noticed how his biker is hunching his soldiers to squeeze himself into the frame? Running out of space is a common problem for artists who draw with the heart (or crotch) more than the head, from left to right before thinking it out, overall. It irritated Falkon (Etienne's contemporary), but fans might find it charming.

 

The makeover is still a great image, if not entirely faithful to Etienne's original. However, Stonecrooze takes his makeover further, playing with the balance of the original composition by moving the auctioneer/instructor character around. 

 

 

Stonecrooze - Services Auction makeover #2 (after Etienne)

This variant creates addresses the imbalance caused by the isolated paddle post and creates a more natural relationship between the characters. The faces of the two characters are better as well, grittier.

 

 It ends up catering more for bottom fans than spankers, but I have to say that the revised jock is splendid, so no wonder Stonecrooze has brought it to the front.  The rearrangement has also circumvented the AI mistake in drawing the signage posts. 

There's also a variant of this image which shows the aftermath of the affair, but it's a bit too raw for me. You can see all 5 variants at Stonecrooze's Deviant Art site

 Ryan could remember going to bed at his usual time. He'd felt exhausted after a long training session with his football team-mates. 

Then nothing until awoke and found himself strapped to some sort of frame in a dark, damp, dungeon-like place.

There was a strange feeling at his groin, a dull ache, it felt as if his tackle was being squeezed by something very tight. 

"Welcome, Mr Hawke!", a voice boomed out, "we are ready to begin your induction".

Ryan could just about make out a masked figure in the murk.

He felt a stab of fear.

Seductive Art by AI-GaySole

 Convict Kane by AI-GaySole (Video)

This guy looks like a tough cookie, but the prison guards are tackling his behaviour. They are keeping him tightly restrained with rope even when he's in his cell. He also has to wear a body harness under his prison uniform and keep it on, even during recreation breaks, as a reminder of what they will do if he misbehaves. 

I love the exaggerated pecs and nipples busting out of his overalls, and the straining zip, which looks as if it might give way at any moment.

Convict Kane 2 by AI-GaySole

Kane was very troublesome when he arrived but a few days in insolation and special suspension had a sobering effect. The periodic inspections made by Officers made him realise that no-one was untouchable in this institution. 

 

Convict Kane 3 by AI-GaySole

Kane never quite lost his cockiness, but the warders found that quite endearing. It tended to dissolve dramatically when they put him back in harness for regular 'maintenance' procedures.

Jake Harlan by AI-GaySole (video)
 

Jake has a pretty intimidating look too, who says real men don't wear pouches? But his dinky, denim, fashionista, cropped top gives the game away. He's really just a shameless exhibitionist, condemned to roam the subway network forever, in search of redemption (or something like that). 

 

Jake Harlan 29 by AI-GaySole

Judging by press reports you'd think subway trains are infested with touchy-feely men eager to interfere with their fellow travellers, but not a confident, hunky man, apparently. Jake's discovered that passengers have an amazing capacity to ignore his bizarre behaviour. I suppose they think that even a furtive glance might lead to an embarrassing, stripper-gram style scene. 

 

They may all look the other way, but Jake still gets a kick out of performing just for himself. He keeps going with a supply of coffee and sandwiches in his backpack, which he always keeps on his back, even when it's crowded, just to annoy the other passengers.

 

I think he's hoping that he might get himself arrested by a dodgy cop and locked up for causing a nuisance, like Kane.

 

 

Professor Kane 10 by AI-GaySole

I can't say I'm turned on by female attire as such, despite a comprehensive attempt by one optimistic individual to convert me in my younger years. I do find this get-up weirdly sexy though. I don't know if Professor Kane is related to Convict Kane (above) but they obviously take different courses in life! Of course, the Professor's name alone is enough to set wild thoughts running. The Head Teacher must be sorely tempted to impose some discipline. Can't have pecs being flashed in front of the students, can we?

 

 

Professor Kane 2 by AI-GaySole

The Professor doesn't wear much under his skirt, sometimes nothing at all, but you'll have to visit the artist's website to see them, there are a couple of seductive videoette performances there as well. 

 

I've listed some of his other characters below. You can see more images and sexy videos of them all at the artist's website (link at the foot of the post)

 

Brock 4 by AI-GaySole

Brock is another interesting character who works in a mini-mart, filling the shelves. He doesn't wear lingerie but good old, manly jeans. He fills 'em pretty well too, so much so that they have a tendency to split open in embarrassing places. Some customers complain it distracts them from their shopping, others think it turns the milk. I think I know what they're getting at.

 

more Brock at 'X' 

 

 

Adam 18 by AI-GaySole

Adam's another well-endowed character, a bit of an AI cliché really. He sweats an awful lot, so you'll often see him stripping off on his way home from work.

 

Mr Rivera 20 by AI-GaySole

Some people say Adam is unduly influenced by his boss, Mr Rivera, and that's why he sweats so much. I'd say it's the other way round. Mr Rivera likes it the other way round.

 

Moretti 3 by AI-GaySole

Moretti is happy to do it either way. He's a hooker who puts his goods in the shop window. Well, in alleyways usually. Moretti is lucky enough to have beguilingly masculine looks and a large backside which he showcases with bold, but stylish clothing. Following Moretti back to his 'workplace' after hiring him has been known to cause his clients to come prematurely. It's easy money if you know how to do it!

 

 

Ken 17 by AI-GaySole

Ken's one of a number of sportsmen at AI-GaySole who delight in stripping off to entertain the crowds at match days. His teammates usually keep their distance during the hold-ups which don't last too long usually because the ground staff don't like the grass being disturbed too much - or fed with unapproved fertiliser.

 

 

Superman 6 by AI-GaySole

Superman finds it hard and difficult to keep a lid on his inner turmoil. When he sees a huge tower, he just can't help himself.

AI seems to have an infinite ability to produce variations on any image and this has led to a glut of creators who don't know when to stop and can't make choices. This artist isn't one of them. He has created a very selective offering of interesting and oddball AI characters. They have muscles and assorted good looks (naturally) and he puts them though their paces for our stimulation and entertainment. His memes are pleasingly and imaginatively handled.

Targeted - The Firefighter

 

Cybertied - Firefighter Captured

We've all admired the hunky Firefighters who have cheerfully stripped off for calendars in recent years. Rob became one of the best known after his Unit voted him as their 'Cover Guy'. 

They weren't his only admirers, of course and one, very rich one approached the Station with a donation offer they could not refuse. All he wanted was a private hour with Rob and after some intense negotiation it was agreed, but the meeting would have to take place in the Fire Station, rather than his private dungeon.

 

 Rob thought it was a joke when his buddies took him by surprise and tied him up in the comprehensive manner stipulated by the donor. They left him alone on his knees in the Station House. Rob struggling with his bonds as he waited was a most wondrous sight, captured in full by the security camera. But the crew had done a good job, the ties were inescapable.

They all returned an hour later fully intending to rag him before they set him free, but to their horror found that their buddy wasn't there. It was all captured on the camera, of course, and the police soon found the abandoned Fire Engine, but eventually had to reluctantly admit that they were baffled. 

 By then Rob was undergoing re-training, far, far way. But pretty soon, he was back in action, slipping down poles and directing his hose, containing and quenching a succession of demanding flare-ups.

The Unit regretted the loss of Rob's services, but consoled themselves that it had been a very generous donation. The security video inexplicably disappeared, but in the years that followed, it was 'found' by the Night Watch, who liked to watch it and reminisce about hunky Rob when things were quiet.

Shameful Exam 11

 

The mysterious oral procedure being carried out here uses equipment reminiscent of traditional water divining, but otherwise the clinic looks pretty normal, although the nurse looks a little anxious about what's going on. Surprisingly, the patient is stripped to his underwear, but he doesn't seem to be complaining! However, the hint of a metal band on his wrist suggests a more sinister situation.

  

Clinical Restraints and Shameful Exam 3

In another ward nearby, the atmosphere is darker, with an older man looking less sanguine about his Doctor's preparations. The attractive smattering of hair on his chest and legs seems to be bristling at the prospect of an 'examination' that looks as if it will require a selection of hidden instruments (possibly a keyboard) and mandatory silence.

  

Shameful Exam 9

At first sight, the presence of a device on a tripod in this clinic suggest a film set. You couldn't blame the Doctor for wanting to make a record of having this muscular specimen on his table, particularly one clad in such clinging underwear.  

 

The panoply of restraint has now taken on fetish dimensions. Perhaps that is in recognition of the patient's physical attributes. Or maybe it's a precaution against his (predictable) aversion to the needle, which the Doctor is preparing for him. The gloved medic seems to have her concerns too, but seems to be fully prepared to make her own point. 

 

 

Shameful Exam 10

 Here the same clinical staff tackle another, Adonis-like patient and the procedure seems even more obscure. This time though there's a hint that the subject is just a little bit excited about the whole predicament, deep down. The nurse's expression suggests he shouldn't be. 

 

I've posted a precursor to this story at my BSky.Social account

These images by Richman65 demonstrate the power of AI to generate detailed, fantastical, hyper-authentic scenes that would be beyond the powers of most artists starting from scratch. The vague sense of purpose allows for any number of interpretations, ranging from the most innocent of investigations to pure horror scenarios. The improbable attractiveness of the men on the table might even suggest a satirical take on the purely cosmetic surgery industry. The retention of client underwear is a not insignificant detail. It's both appealing and sometimes revealing.
