Royale Scout Recruitment set


'IRESC, Scout Recruitment' is one of the least well-known, but most complete of the Royale & Hussar, famed, spanking photo-sets.
 
Attributed to Hussar, this 'playlet' is the story of an unconventional Scout induction, and it's spanking hot!
 
I have now posted all 36 images of the set at the Gallery.

DJ Beckham - Sexy Wrestler in Trouble


 
It didn't take long for the other wrestlers to show their displeasure at some of DJ's antics. Mark O took him on one side and calmly explained to him that throttling with a wristband was not how things were done in this locker room.
 
I believe Beckham's response was: 'Are you kidding me?' 
 
 
Mark decided that actions might speak louder than words 
and drew DJ's attention to his own vulnerabilities.
 

This exchange was overheard by another pro, Guido Genatto. One of the most feared grapplers on the circuit. It's not recorded what Beckham said to him, but he got a short and sharp response. 
(Embarrassing hold, but his shoulders and trunks looked great)
 
 
If Beckham had a flair for embarrassing opponents with simple holds (see Part 1), Guido was the master of economical domination.
 
 
He was pretty good at hurting his opponents, too. 
 

The lesson was not short and sharp,
it lasted long into the evening.
 

You can imagine how Beckham felt when he discovered his next contest in the ring was against Genatto AND Max Quivers, whose sheer size and spooky appearance would intimidate anyone. Before long, they were stretching DJ's resources.
(His hair was ruined, but at least his trunks looked good)
 

 Guido's holds in the ring were more severe than in the Locker Room.
 

In his turn, Quivers turned Beckham's own locker room fouls against him, wrapping a belt round his neck.
 

 It got pretty rough on the ropes after that.
(probably jealousy at Beckham's fantastic abs!) 
  

Inevitably, they teamed up against him on the mat too.
Here, in a muscle wrenching, double-ender strike.
  
 
With his back softened up, DJ was helplessly suspended
 in a teardrop hold - painful as well as humiliating.
But Genatto lecturing him at the same time was just too much.
 
 
Predictably, other wrestlers on the circuit took advantage.
Caleb Klein had his own bad memory to erase.
He put DJ into the same embarrassing hold.
 
 
The icing on top of his revenge 
was to engulf Becks face with a sweaty armpit.
(possibly unwashed) 
  
 
 
Against the formidable Joey Nux, Beckham courageously piled in,
clad in uncharacteristic, white trunks, as if wanting to remind the fans that he'd got one of the best asses in the business.
 
Perhaps forgetting that the last time he'd worn light trunks,
he'd had a double drubbing from Genatto and Quivers.
 
 
Nux gave him a taste of his own favourite corner pin

 
A comprehensive course in the art of heel.
 

Joey's grandstanding was wasted on poor Becks,
preoccupied with a gag of murky, warm, pit sweat.  
It was probably unnecessary anyway.
He'd already made his point.
 
 
We saw how DJ's spirited attacks were blunted by Wes Ratchet's immovable wall in Part 1. When he took control, DJ was in trouble!
Soon the sweat flowed as freely as the pain in his shoulders. 

 
Thus weakened, another assault on Beckham's back soon developed.
A fine display of domination, with DJ left gasping.
 
 
Another taste of wrestler's heel keeps a good man down. 

 
Against lightweight, Max Ryder, Becks dons his tastiest briefs yet.
But he won't have wanted to show them off 
while trapped in a head-scissors hold.
Beck's days of weighty domination seemed to have ended. 
 
 

Zack Reno is no mean wrestler, but he's not a heavyweight,
so he's not supposed to be able to do this!
Beck's in despair, but still able to show us his sexy side.

DJ Beckham - Sexy Wrestler 1


 I don't know if this is a particularly good wrestling move, but the whole image is oozing with man appeal, bursting with physical exertion. The hunk putting on the pressure is DJ Beckham, during his spell of wrestling under the Wrestler4Hire banner. In this contest he gives pretty boy, Travis Maverick, a bit of a run around. 

 


Here he gives Gabe Steele a taste of heel, simultaneously showing us that there is more to his man appeal than just sweaty flesh. 
Gabe is usually a more serious and accomplished performer than his outfit here implies. 

 


DJ presses his attack home, driving Gabe into the corner. If this was a Royale Studio image, I'd be commenting on the juxtaposition of Beckham's ass and Gabe's tented crotch.



 Travis ended up in the corner too, with DJ's foot embedded in his solar plexus. The straining in his flimsy, white briefs suggests it may be just as well that DJ is keeping his ass at a distance this time. Sadly, his black trunks are less expressive than his opponents.

 


Beckham's tactics are called out just when it's getting interesting. Like a true heel, he protests his innocence. He wants to go on.

Travis' face tells a very different story! 



Beckhams illegal use of the ropes in these examples might alert you to a sadistic streak in him. Mark O ran foul of it too in this locker room encounter. It's clear that DJ is never slow to use his physical strength, here he shamelessly improvises with a wrist sweatband, to devastating effect.



Beckhams weight keeps the muscular physique of Igor pinned beneath his knee in this outdoor contest. He increases the pressure on Igor's back with a semi-Boston style, leg lever. Igor's shoulders look great, but are of no help to him. 

 


 From the side, we see some nice shaping of Igor's briefs,
and a suggestive interlocking of crotches.
Beckham looks as if he really means business.

 


Igor struggles in a body scissors and arm lock combo.
But his wrestling trunks suggest he's enjoying it
I'm not sure about DJ though, he looks disappointed. 
  



Caleb Klein is made of sterner stuff, but with Beckham's weight pinning him down, simple arm blocking and a neck hold become an effective restraint.

 


Beckham uses a similar entanglement technique
to tie Cash up in embarrassing knots
 

This hold produces some good visuals for us.
But leaves strong man Cash, frustrated and angry.
 
Even the nimbleness of Max Ryder is frustrated.
He ends up face down on the mat, displaying his buns.
 
 

Zack Reno ends up staring down the mouth of a cannon.
DJ doesn't know quite how to deal with this situation.
Perhaps insist on less flimsy trunks next time, DJ. 
 


 It would be a terrible shame to lose this sight, though.
DJ goes for the heel's preferred form of hero worship.
But it's all too much for Zack. 
 
But it wasn't always like this for DJ Beckham.... 
 


Against the formidable Wes Ratchet, 
he strains and he sweats deliciously,
but it doesn't seem to produce much of a result.

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.
