The Lost Patrol

 
01

 A group of dejected, captured soldiers are being led through the jungle.
Their hands are tied behind their backs. Their shirts and boots have been taken from them.
 
 
02

As they march, their captor beats them on the shoulders with a riding crop.  
 
 
03

Deeper and deeper into the forest they trek, urged on by their masked escort's blows.
 

04

Their army comrades and the life they knew are left further and further behind.
 
 
05

Eventually, the cruel guard stops for a rest.
The exhausted men sink down onto the ground.
 
 
06

But there's no respite from punishment for the captives. 
The soldier who asked for the rest receives special attention for his insolence,
 and for lagging behind at the end of the file, as they marched.
 
 
07

His burly comrade protests and is given the same treatment.
The other two lie on the ground, hands tied, looking on helplessly.
 

  
08

The guard takes them through the gate, into a farm building which seems to be abandoned.
Inside, he strings them up and begins to brutally interrogate them. 
 
 
09

After many hours questioning and punishment, they are let down.
Hog-tied on the floor, sleep finally brings a merciful respite to the exhausted men. 
 
 
10

But all too soon it's daybreak again.
The sound of suffering wakes them from bad dreams. 
 

 
11

The captives are taken outside and forced to kneel submissively.
They are not alone, other captives can be heard grunting and protesting.
 

12

'The Complainer' is taken away, tied to a yoke, that exposes his back.
His captors lead him past an elegant, swimming pool.
This isn't an old, abandoned farm, but a rich man's villa. 


13

His comrades hear the sound of the whip, but cannot intervene to help him. 
Their feet are tied together so they cannot rise off their knees.
After an hour of kneeling in bondage, their own bodies begin to suffer.
 
 
 
14

Complaining to their captors only hastens their first acquaintance with the flogger.
They are still unaware that they have become a rich man's playthings.
 
 
15

In the days that follow, punishment becomes a familiar routine.
Their captors now seem more interested in tormenting, rather than questioning them.
That and inventing new ways to tie them up. 
 

16

The restraints change, but the pain remains the same.
 
 
17
 
The men get brief periods of rest when others are selected for maltreatment.
But there's a steady stream of fresh tormentors arriving every day.
They never seem to tire of their sport.
 
 
 
18

Seeing other members of their unit, who have also been brought to this terrible place,
makes the men increasingly despair of ever being rescued.  
 

19

Those who manage to escape are brought back in chains.
Only hastily grabbed sleep allows them any relief from the ordeal
 
 

20
 
But all too soon, there's someone else who wants them.
 
 

21

In the midst of endless, frenzied activity.
The men learn the true meaning of loneliness.

These splendid images of military bondage have been sent to me by a group of Mexican bodybuilders who are exploring the making of videos with themes of captivity and punishment, rather like the storyettes of Royale Studio in the 50s. They say "we all are straight men but willing to offer attractive scenes to a gay audience". I should add that the grim story line I have used for this montage is mine not theirs.

Under The Lash

The Wooden Horse

 
An illustration from 'Under The Lash', a book about corporal punishment in the UK armed forces in years gone by. This punishment device was called 'The Wooden Horse', but effectively was a narrow or pointed board on which the offender was compelled to sit for long periods. It was not only painful, but ultimately could be medically damaging, so don't try it at home chaps. The idea has now become part of the vocabulary of S&M and is documented extensively here at mitchmen through the series called 'Riding The Wedge'. Contributions include various artists interpretations of the ordeal and some real life attempts to recreate it (sanely). Click on the link or the label at the foot of the post to see them all.

The author of  'Under the Lash' was Basil Clavering, the creator behind the famed Royale and Hussar Studios in the 1950s and 60s. He was assisted (improbably) by another luminary of that era, John Barrington, who helped to edit the book for publication. The book describes a range of military punishments in excruciating detail, and there are a number of illustrations like that above. Clavering actually recreated some of these arcane practices in his storyettes which are still treasured for their spanking and CP content. There's an illustrated review of the book and its Royale legacy at the Royale blog.

Art by Gyaku Xryona - 2

More sexy fetish fighting in Part 1 of this series 

Gyaku Xryona - Hercules Breaking Wolverine's Abs
 
The rack is one of the most controlling of wrestling holds, rendering the recipient helpless in a back-compressing and ab stretching position (perhaps not as severely as the title suggests though). Hercules maximises the pain by pulling the victim's head back. It is supposed to be Wolverine but a muscular guy in tight T-shirt and jeans doesn't need fantasy connections to look great when he's treated like this.  This aerial view brings out the helplessness of his position, but Wolverine's thick jeans spare him the embarrassment of parading his tackle before the audience.


Gyaku Xryona - Superman Given a Sitting Piledriver

Superman is less lucky, his tights here are in the modern, cinematic style and lack the traditional, red over-pants worn in the old days and although he's slipped a featureless box inside to protect them and hide them, it still looks like a very suggestive toolbox. In many of this artist's pictures a face embedded in a crotch is a regular humiliation but he inverts that situation here (as well as Superman himself) to create the impression of his groin being a great prize and at risk of being misused for his opponent's pleasure. It looks like he's already high on the odours. Meanwhile Supes is distracted by the pain and humiliation of hitting the canvas, head first, as his nemesis drops him down.


Gyaku Xryona - Superman Given a Nut Cracker

Johnny Cage is one of Gyaku's wrestling 'heels' and he takes delight in demonstrating to the goody-goody Superman just how nasty he can be. Supes protective arrangements can't withstand Johnny's grip and his body and face both crumple in sympathy with his mangled tackle. 
He needs to find a way of dislodging that claw grip quickly!

The characterisation of Supes here is a nice blend of the original facial appearance
 with modern sexy muscles and kit.


Gyaku Xryona - Chris Smells Those Giants

Chris Redfield, the eternal loser in this Universe, steps up to restore the normal order by sampling Johnny's crotch. That pack of equipment on his back and resting on the canvas has the effect of forcing his face upwards as Johnny sinks down on him. I can't tell you whether 'Giants' are any more noxious than run of the mill appendages.


Gyaku Xryona - Chris gets James' Armpit Sweat in his Face

Even without his backpack and sporting the latest blue-grey colourway in BSAA uniforms, Chris fares no better against James Vega, who cradles his head under his arm while applying an inverted choke hold in the standing position. This is a real back killer for as long as the victim remains on his feet and you get a good sense of that in this cleverly angled viewpoint. Collapsing the knees is difficult, it relieves the back but transfers the stress to the neck  James looks disinclined to help out by moving on to another move. A real predicament and painful enough to prevent Chris gaining  a full appreciation of the body juices on offer right under his nose. 


Gyaku Xryona - Weekend Preview

A painful predicament like this is in no way redeemed by having to share it with a partner. Indeed, sharing it removes an escape option for both of them. This monstrous masked man has applied the hold the other way round, as a dragon sleeper, which means he can enjoy the bobbing bodies of his victims as they endeavour to escape from him. He's dropped to his knees to increase their discomfort. Men subjected to embarrassment situations are usually villains in the wrestling world but you can't be so sure of that here.

 As spectators we get a less clear view of the underarm situation than before, but in any case the artist has depicted a looser, less intimate grip here. In compensation we get a double-barrelled view of the loser's crotches, with the unusual bonus for this artist of a mini-bulge on the left, full of shapeliness and highlighted in an exceptionally erotic way by the decoration of his tights - whorls which are nudging it on either side and arrow-like shapes diving down on it from above.    

I like this artist for his inventive depictions and exaggerations of  familiar predicaments,
but I do wish he'd put shadows under his character's feet to ground them! 


Gyaku Xryona - Underwear Muscle Battle 03

James Vega dominates a different opponent with this back-breaking variant of the head scissors move. The victim is forced to kneel and nuzzle his opponents crotch.


Gyaku Xryona - Underwear Muscle Battle 04

The same hold, viewed from behind James
Sadly the dark underwear deprives us of detail.

I have cropped these images to make them more viewable.


Gyaku Xryona - Piers Likes It

Erotically explicit details are rare beasts in this artist's work, mainly I imagine because he posts at Deviant Art which does not permit them. That makes this image of Chris Redfield's buddy, Piers, succumbing to a dragon sleeper and sporting a prominent erection rather note-worthy. The allegation in the title seems improbable to ordinary mortals but some sportsmen do seem to have an extraordinary affection for pain. His cumbersome military equipment gets in the way of seeing much of his body line, but there's a nice abs stretch going on.


Gyaku Xryona - Smell That 02

One of the strangest aspects of the Chris Redfield phenomenon is the sailor outfit which was included as an option in Resident Evil: Revelations. It's an unquestionably camp contrast to the military gear and butch T-shirts he was given originally. The cropped top and turned up shorts (with authentic sailor flap) are a sexy adaptation worthy of Royale Studio, but the white gloves, shades and pipe which never seems to be out of his mouth are plain weird. 

He's pitched against the same underwear opponent in this image and for once he doesn't come out second best, instead he's poised to engulf his opponent with his own crotch odours for once and lest you think I'm overly obsessed with such (un)pleasantness I can point to the direction in the artist's own title. He's depicted Chris's white shorts as being particularly grubby and probably skanky too, so I imagine the effect to be quite overwhelming.


Gyaku Xryona - Bronco Buster plus Abs

 Chris is obviously aware of the offensive power of his shorts and here is poised to inflict them on Dante. The artist's cropping leaves little doubt that face frotting is Chris's aim.


Gyaku Xryona - Hulk Smasm and Breaker

This isn't the best image by this artist but it does capture the essence of  that genre of wrestling where genuine grapplers are pitted against a giant hulk who is much bigger than them and impervious to their puny efforts to fight him. I like the way he has picked Chris up by the head here, like a rag doll. The other fighter is a character called Miguel and he is rather nicely modelled. 
In the series below he's pitted against Dante and Chris. 


Gyaku Xryona - Miguel v Two Losers

Miguel, sexily dressed in open shirt and leather pants has no trouble subduing Dante and Chris but it doesn't look as if Chris needed much urging to investigate his crotch anyway. He seems unconcerned about Dante suffering the torture rack across Miguel's shoulders.


Gyaku Xryona - Miguel Destroys Chris's Back

Miguel looks both formidable and mean in this image with a great torso.
Chis suffers helplessly, while looking cute, as is his lot in life.


Gyaku Xryona - Spine Break

Dante's respite doesn't last long as Miguel drops him onto his raised knee.
His arched body convincingly conveys the impression of extreme stress.
Great jeans imagery as well for him in this sequence.


Gyaku Xryona -  Humiliation

Chris is forced to his knees bowing his head in acknowledgement of his stronger opponent.
Confusion, misery and despair seem written across his face


Gyaku Xryona - WWE, Mason Destroys Evans


This last image is a more conventional one but has the virtue of great clarity, which creates a good impression of the height of the victim above the ground, isolated and poised to descend forcefully.
His opponent has great bulk, but it's more attractively packaged than the average, real pro.

The Destruction of Channing Travolta - 3

 Continued from Part 2, or you can start reading from Part 1


Somewhat chastened by his run of defeats, Channing tones down his hair for his next fight, a return match with Max Quivers. He approaches his opponent more carefully but his character hasn't changed, as his flashy white boots suggest.  Max expects a little more respect than Channing's thinly-disguised smirk.



He makes his displeasure clear to the arrogant young man, 
using the proffered hand to pull him into a vicious knee raise.
It lifts Channing into the air and leaves him gasping for breath. 


Channing collapses onto the floor but Quivers follows him down.
He's seemingly intent on twisting Channing's head off his shoulders,
as if trying to finish what he started in their first bout, see Part 1.



The grisly reminders for the young upstart continue 
as Max switches to one of the choke holds
that he tamed him with in that first meeting.
Channing's spirit seems to ebb away.
(but I do like that groin shot!)



When Max relents, Channing is left dizzily stumbling. 
The fight has barely started, but already he is forced to crawl.
It's a humiliating acknowledgement of his inferiority.


Unfortunately, his grovelling makes his foot an easy target for Quiver's quick grab.
He twists it into a half-Boston, levering Channing's knee joint and stressing his back.
Channing whines in dismay.



One leg lever quickly becomes two, 
Channing spots the full Boston Crab torture coming his way. 
Predictably, he makes a panicky, desperate grab for the ropes.



Quivers simply yanks him back to the middle of the ring
and punishes Channing's arm joint for it's part in the cowardliness
Channing can't believe how much it hurts.

However the sight of his exposed, arched torso 
has inspired Max to give a more appropriate punishment.



Channing learns from the seasoned sadist that the sanctuary of the ropes
can also become a place of inescapable restraint,
leaving him wide open and totally defenceless against a cruel barrage of blows.


Channing bleats about the rules and Quivers sets him free.
He retreats into a corner, desperately clinging to the ropes.
The chunky hunk has been reduced to a very sorry state, 
and mealy mouthed, he acknowledges Quiver as the victor.

But it his ordeal is not yet over,  
Quivers' jacket drops on to the floor in front of him.




Channing scarcely has time to register his dismay before Max steams back in, feet first, 
Contemptuously he pins him, squealing in protest, against to the post.




Channing is dragged back to the centre of the ring for a celebratory reprise of punishment.
He's anchored there by a painful figure 4 while Quivers relentlessly assaults his back .
Endearingly, Channing endures it all grimacing in pain.



But Quivers is denied the pain fest he wanted
Channing can't (or won't) fight back any more.
It's like he's been completely squashed.
But he ain't seen nothin' yet!
