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.

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?

New Spanking by Tom of Finland + new discoveries

Tom of Finland - Spanking

 I thought I'd seen all the Tom of Finland images I was ever likely to see until this amazing spanking image turned up recently on Strictop's GaySpankArt site at BSkySocial. It's in Tom's early '60's style which produced many of the great classics. The fashion detailing of the protagonist's clothing, socks, shoes and jumper suggests to me that it's quite early. If so, it's surprisingly explicit, sneakily so.

Some more rare gems from Strictop's collection.....

Steve Masters - Circus discipline

 This image by the highly original Steve Masters is the soul of discretion by comparison. You have to look closely just to see that it is spanking-related. Some scamp caught trying to sneak into the circus tent faces retribution. Is it a thrashing, or is the circus performer removing his belt with something different in mind, inspired by the juicy offering before him? 

Master's unique style featuring skin tight clothing has you guessing whether these men are clothed or not, opening up the more racy interpretation. Are those tattoos or fancy performance clothes the belt man is wearing? The detailing of the intruder's jeans is so faint that at first you don't see it. 

On closer inspection, fashion detail to match Tom's can be seen - the deep turn-ups of the jeans and black basketball shoes are so 50s yoof culture. Similar shoes turned up not long ago in a 1958 Royale Studio photo set of Ian Oliver.

 


This image by Matt is another rarity, preserved and rebranded by the notorious 'Nick Shadow'. A customer who complained gets short shrift from the Chef! Chef spanking crops up fairly regularly in the new wave of AI spanking imagery, but I confess that I don't really get it. I suppose the ubiquity of the wooden spoon, sometimes used for domestic paddling, makes the connection. The authority (and temperaments) of Chefs in professional kitchens is more widely understood these days thanks to TV, but the scenario doesn't really work for me. What I do like here is the maturity of the recipient and the hairiness of the spanker, whose hand lingers on his butt suggestively.



 This image by RASchultz is another period piece with a puzzling scenario that was probably inspired by the story he was illustrating. Executioner's masks had a bit of a vogue in the Drummer 80's and so did Chippendale bow ties on strippers, but it's hard to deduce what the connection might be in this picture. Fortunately, the sense of domination and beautiful, kneeling bondage in the imagery is so powerful that you don't really need to.

 


This image by Copper was a revelation to me. He is a prolific producer of comics which use humour to defuse their subject. I have seen his pointillist style before too, but the dark drama of this offering is on a different level. The hand under the chin makes an unusual physical connection and subtly reinforces the Master's control. Not sure about the moon, though! Artistic licence?

 


The great, British artist, Bill Ward, drew such uncompromisingly masculine figures that he even gets away with a walrus moustache here. Ripped pants, jock strap and a face down in a crotch make up an irresistible image of assertiveness and submission.
 
 

A final, eye-pleasing, modern AI offering from otklad, with a Senior Scout learning that you're never too old to learn about authority and discipline and that different rules are necessary when you're a long way from urban civilisation.
 ~

I'm indebted to Strictop for collecting these images, 
he also has a collection of spanking images on 'X' and a link to his spankart gallery.

More Moosemind

Moosemind - Escape from the council of the apes

A great image of a fugitive fleeing from would-be captors. Guess what they want him for!

Not crazy about the simians, but it's easy to imagine your favourite, dreaded predator instead. 

Rather nice texturing and a neatly incongruous, beautiful sunset. An augury of recapture, perhaps.

 

Moosemind - You Won't Be Needing This Any More

 An equally mysterious storyline here, but it's a beautifully constructed composition, designed to showcase the central figure's body in a stimulating way. It's a classic example of less nudity is more sexy, a point reinforced by his abundance of amorous admirers. They seek to delay his departure, but there's a hint of physical restraint being applied on the right. As if where he's going involves captivity as well as nudity.

 

Moosemind - Listen Boy, Come Over To My Tent Later

There's a fascinating study of power imagery here. A man, whose posture emanates authority and strength, has been accosted in the street and seems to be embarrassed by it, angered even. The other man is taller than him and clasps his neck, assertively pulling him closer, but at the same time bowing his head in a gesture that speaks of affection and supplication. This little drama is acted out before a fascinated audience

Both men are naked and (according to the title) one of them lives in a tent, although this is an obviously wealthy city. Similarly, the onlookers are all clad in drab loincloths, as if of a lowly caste. They must be slaves or arena fighters, perhaps. Men whose close relationships are all that they have. 

This is an unfaithful lover, perhaps, returning full of regret, or a defeated opponent coming forward to pay his forfeit, knowing he will be roundly used and humiliated. We can imagine the denouement in the marginally less public setting of his tent will involve lots of shouting, humble pie, tears and sex. 

 

Moosemind - Samson Destroys The Philistines

The underlying image here is a bit of a cliché, but it's nicely modelled and if, like me, you are not enamoured of long hair, it's easy to visualise a haircut that's as tidy as his physique. The soaring architecture is the wrong era, but superbly dramatic and gives a more relatable sense of scale to the modern eye. However, it makes you realise the original tale of him bringing down the temple must have been exaggerated a tiny bit. Or else, the priests got their just reward for neglecting the long-term maintenance of the building. 

Moosemind - Jealousy

This artist's interest in ancient cultures takes in the sport of naked wrestling, but he's applied it here to a more domestic scenario. It's quite hard to capture the drama of fighting in a static image, but this is a good attempt. The cartoon-style 'impact' signal is unorthodox but serves its purpose without subverting the splendid artistic pairing of figures, whose bodies are juxtaposed together and matched in a manner that seems to invoke the private intimacy and passion that has brought them to public blows.
 
 
Moosemind - Manhandled

 Here too, there's a great sense of struggle and also of physical strength, a sight that is rarely manifested in modern day, pro wrestling but can still be glimpsed in the amateur code. This mighty lift, delivered from a seated position, seems to have caught, off guard, an opponent who was prematurely celebrating victory in the modern manner, with clenched fists. An improbable throw, but a rather satisfying comeuppance for the braggart. The characterisation of the two men, one wild and hairy, the other with a more refined and subtle masculinity, reinforces the storyline.
 
 
Moosemind - Sparring

The artist's disingenuous title doesn't quite match the image a gay observer perceives. It is a perfectly feasible wrestling moment, but you can't help thinking that both men might have lost sight of the aim of winning this contest. He who has the upper hand suddenly finds himself distracted by an unexpected development. His over-excited opponent seems to have become suddenly aware of his own vulnerability, having started something he might not be happy to finish.
 

Moosemind - The Agoge Trials

A more conventional expression of the ancient art here shows two young men struggling for supremacy before an audience of soldiers. The Agoge was a rigorous, Spartan training program for young male citizens, so this is an authentic scene, but the sensual entwining of naked bodies here makes you wonder about the thoughts of those seemingly detached on-lookers and the reward given to the winner.
 
 
Moosemind - Colonised
 
This rather unusual take on the founding of America is frank and almost political in the way it contrasts the pride and strength of the captive, Native American with the uniformed, flag-bearing pomp of his captors, who seem to regard him as a curiosity. The title is bluntly accurate, but not one that modern day politicians care to acknowledge. Popular culture takes refuge in the Wild West stereotyping of 'renegades', rather than heroic freedom fighters.
 

Moosemind - Squanto Captured

There's a similar theme here but with a greater sense of enslavement and humiliation of the unfortunate captive. The on-lookers, civilised and determinedly religious, seem oblivious of his humanity. 
 
The original story of Squanto seems to conflate episodes of settlers being helped to survive by members of the Patuxet tribe with others in which indigenous tribesmen were kidnapped and trafficked to Europe as slaves, but it serves to make the artist's point. It's unlikely that any of them were such impressive physical specimens as this man, but it helps to amplify the sense of 'difference' in a way that shows him as more of a man than his captors.


Moosemind - Zane Blaze

The boots on the other foot here, or possibly on no foot at all, with a white man (of equally muscular and equally improbable stature) held captive in a way that draws on religious imagery to cast him as a martyr too. It makes a delicious counter-point to the Squanto images. 

Zane Blaze sounds like the protagonist in a pulp fiction Western, but I can't find a relevant reference. We may guess that he's an adventurer or lawman who's got himself into undeserved difficulties. He's clearly been unlucky enough to fall into the hands of cowboys who find his physique of as much interest as his supposed misdeed. Justice sometimes took arbitrary, brutal forms in those days, but with the noose dangling in the background, I shudder to think what they have in mind for the naked Zane. 


Moosemind - Lovers in Arms - Beneath The Olive Moon

 This tender scene seems like another of those "you want it really, don't you?" moments when a man is obliged to acknowledge his inner reality. It might easily have found a place in my story of the humiliation of the Spartan army in Part 1 of this Moosemind post. The seducer here, however, seems more respectable than the cunning Throbbers who undermined the advance guard of the Spartan Army on that inglorious day. 

This man is blond, wears a white loin-cloth that is loose beyond reproach, and even has the victor's laurel wreath on his head. What could possibly be wrong with him? Alas, such is the way with men! The poor guard, struggling with his own desires, and military duty too, I hope, seems to sense that something isn't right. Probably though he's just tormenting himself, when really, there is no need.

 

Moosemind - The Blacksmith's Apprentice

 
Another out-take from the Spartan shaming. Another youth separated from his lover and transported to a distant realm to work out his life as a slave. At least this one will learn a skill to give some meaning to his life, but an interview in the nude like this suggests that forging iron may not be the only hot banging he's going to experience. His resentful look may reflect that he's just learned of that unpleasant module in his training plan. Still, at least he's alive.  


Moosemind - Bare Slave

I've always been of the view that a slave ought to work for his keep, not just idly enjoy the attentions (dubious or otherwise) of his master. And if he's a muscular slave, he ought to use that muscle to good purpose. Make 'em sweat. Makes a great show.  It's good for him, too, helping to preserve that glorious physique for other purposes. I suppose there is a risk here that he might lob his load at the temple, Samson-style, but any guard worth his salt ought to be able to keep a naked man in check.
