Men Swapping Clothes No 30 - Royale Studio's Chain Pouch

This article is due to be upgraded and reposted 

in the mitchmen Royale Studio Archive

~

Peter George's provocative pouch and waders in the previous Royale post 

were not the only fetish garments in that studio's wardrobe.....

It's easy to overlook the sexual power of old black and white beefcake images which were designed to look not overly sexy, but the best of them still manage to turn their muscular subjects into erotic gods. In this informal and intimate pose, the softly moulded muscularity of Brian Lamprill seems bulky, real and almost touchable. His indrawn navel creates a strangely alluring detail.

 The skimpy garment he is wearing has the look of a bikini rather than posing pouch. It seems like a properly designed, fashion garment designed to highlight and enhance his near nudity rather than being an artificial screen, crudely improvised for the sake of modesty. It's embellished by a distinctive chain net that adds a dose fetishistic sexiness by suggesting restraint and containment of what lies within.

He's thoughtfully handling an epee here, rolling the handle between his fingers as though considering what to do with it. It's an instrument of combat, a rather refined style of fighting, and it has with the ability to pierce body muscle. That makes its position here, slanting across the bulge of his pouch a very S&M-like touch.

Picture from Man Alive (Apr 61) 

Brian Lamprill was a serious body builder who posed regularly for Royale Studio,

 including storyettes like 'PT Class'

Tibor Urgay wears the same garment to add a fetish flavour to this muscular pose. This model was usually portrayed by the Royale group as boyish and elfin-like rather than beefy like this. His physique in this photo complements the chains which have assumed a wider, more rounded shape to accommodate his projecting tackle.

Update Nov 2024: I don't have a date reference for the image above, but I recently discovered another photo of Tibor Urgay wearing it (disguised as a bunch of grapes!) dated to 1958 so it's appearances in 1961 are evidence of the sensitivity of the chain motif (too near the knuckle as it were in 1958) rather than the date of those photos.

Tibor Urgay also appeared in the Hussar Studio's PT Class

The same, intimate garment worn by a third model (Tibor Noszgay). He doesn't have quite the same allure in my eyes, despite a tidy body. However, his more upright, open pose shows the forward thrust of the pouch in a way that makes the chain containment seem more of a chastity device than simply an exotic decoration. 

His serious expression might reflect the fact that he knows this is a stock Royale/Hussar Studio wardrobe item, one that has been worn by other models before him. If he finds it exciting to wear, he might be imagining just what his predecessors must have felt.

Picture from Man Alive (Apr 61)

Tibor Noszgay is more recognisable (and more attractive) in this picture which I presume is from the same set. In this image, you can see his waist chain curving across the far thigh but it seems to have disappeared on the near side. The dark line you can see is the shadow of his sword, which looks much like the one being played with by Brian Lamprill in the top picture. 

Picture from Man Alive (Apr 62)

James Julien gets himself into groin chains here. He was probably snapped for the conventional beefcake stream, which featured many of the most prominent bodybuilders of the day. At that time the bodybuilding world desperately portrayed itself as a thoroughly decent, health and fitness practice. That may account for the less-than-amazing pouch shape. Still, one can only imagine the thrill of excitement some of those men must have felt when they were invited to don this indisputably kinky garment. He looks as if he might be feeling a little faint and is clinging to the screen for support.

This picture appeared in 'Tomorrow's Man' May 1962.

The chain pouch also figured in one of Royale's most notorious photo sets, featuring real enlisted men of the Royal Horse Guards. That was bad enough for the men at the Ministry (of Defence), but for them to use their own Uniforms to create homosexual erotica and pairing them with a suggestive pouch like this, well, it must have blown their institutional fuses.  

This Horse Guard is Tom Manlick. Just a wild guess but I'd say that's not his real name. 

The helmet affords additional protection of his identity.

In this picture you can see that the chain pouch is completely separate from the cloth inner lining but nevertheless, it's wearers must have been conscious of the other men's groins it had previously graced. You're very aware of Tom's loin in this picture.

Tom also appeared in Football Ballet 

John Skilling in Chain-Male Pouch by Royale Studio

In this image it's an oily John Skilling who gets the cold comfort, ball support. 

He was a seasoned 'Royalist' who appeared in the Football Ballet storyette 

and starred with Fred Collins in the Soldier-Sailor set and others. 

There's been a sketchy Review of John Skilling's career here at mitchmen

Interestingly, all these chain pouch images were attributed to Hussar Studio when published and not the Royale brand, which was was being discarded as a name when they appeared in 1961-2.

I've not found a picture of Peter George in the chain pouch but given this image I'd not be surprised to see one. He seemed to have an affinity for fetish and bdsm themes.

Men Sharing Gold Trunks

Antonio Valentini

I've been hooked on this guy's rangy, lithe body and ultra-sexy bulge for quite a while.
Despite his boyish face it's clear he's a big man.

 

 

Alessio Caballero

It looks like the same briefs have also been used for some sweaty boxing practice here.
They are amply filled by another youthful lad with a challenging, sullen gaze.

It's one of my mitchmen, foolish fancies to fantasise about these shared garments transmitting 'essence of model' from one man to another. It has to be said, these briefs don't look ultra-washable.

Justin Lewis

Now broad-shouldered Justin takes them for an outing on the basketball court.
Packing out the much-used garment with some very solid bulk.

He doesn't look too happy, perhaps he's also wondering about alien 'essences' in those briefs

 

Antonio Valentini

 Antonio reclaims them to demonstrate his own ball-holding skills.

Brief-lifting too!

 

 

Alessio Caballero

Alessio looks p...d off but his briefs tell a different story.

Surely all that excitement must leave something behind!

 

Jamie Blyton

If it has, Jamie doesn't seem to mind, in fact he adds his quota

Are these the only sparring briefs they've got in this gym?

Jamie Blyton

There's been a lot of stuff been happening down in there!
Jamie's deliciously moulded groin seems to be spilling out the top.

 

Jamie Blyton

 I'm not sure about what's been happening to those gloves they all carry either! 

Naughty Jamie, someone else will be putting them on later!

whose hygiene practices and those of their models are beyond reproach I am sure.

Chet Chastain - A Villain of the Ring - 2

Chastain v Baldwin photo: Wrestler4Hire

Despite his fearsome reputation, Chet Chastain's sometimes extravagent hair colouring
 might tempt more experienced and difficult opponents like Tristan Baldwin to mock him, 

but he finds it's no laughing matter as Chet subjugates him with the dreaded Boston Crab,

while simultaneously manufacturing a sexy conjunction of their bottom cheeks
which seems to emphasise his ascendancy and control.

Chet's even manages to overcome the challenge of having to don

 a less-than-flattering 'Superhero' outfit - and it's against another tricky opponent too, 

the chunky, hairy and ferocious hulk known as Guido Gennatto.

Erotic wrestlers often use the head scissors to give their opponents a taste of crotch

Chet uses it as an opportunity to show off his lithe body and neat little bottom.

Even against Guido, his look of concentration seems to radiate a sense of superiority.

Against weaker opponents, Chastain's ruthless streak is unrelenting.
It gives him space to demonstrate his flair for sexy ring performance

He casually pins Ethan Andrews against a corner post with the heel of his boot

while contriving to exhibit his sexy ass to on-lookers. 

It's the same story here, where it's Zack Reno who finds himself grovelling on the floor, 

trapped in the same 'half-crab' hold as Ethan Andrews suffered in Part 1.

Chet's squatting ass looms over him most impressively and threateningly,

while Zack's own body seems to shrink and his buns clench defensively .  

The ass-enhancing qualities of Chet's revealing, red trunks get another testimonial here

as he finds an unorthodox way to make the chunky Marc Merino look foolish.
Of course it's illegal to use the ropes in this way and against novices - well, not nice.

Chet's muscularity and close-cropped hair helps to project his image as a hard man
but his sheer sexiness can be just as intimidating against 'regular guys' like Marc.

As this candid back-stage picture shows, Chet is perfectly aware of his own sexiness
Even team-mate Alvin seems uncomfortable at this display of self-admiration

This is blatant exhibitionism, but it's spontenity reveals a charming element of vulnerabilty.
The bulging white jeans, are a reminder of the 60's images of Scott and Royale.
Somewhat crude and unsophisticted but the plunging waistline area looks nice.

 

Given his personality and ring persona, Chet is inevitably guilty sometimes of showboating.
It seems almost inevitable that Marc Merino will wind up as one of the victims.

 

Nor is Chet inclined to pass up other ways to humiliate this victim
especially if it provides a chance to show off his sculptured physique.
It's an emphatic pose admittedly, but precarious and less than elegant.
(rather like those tight jeans above)
A single foot on the chest, big-game-hunter style, might serve his image better.

Believe it or not, this chunky unfortunate being lined up for a pummeling is Marc Merino again!
It has to be conceded that such a physically big man must make a tempting target.
Chet takes his time, appearing undecided, knowing his victim can't escape.
It's sadistic and rather bad form with Randy Winters keeping Marc restrained for him,
but Chet does look good here, especially in those low-cut trunks!

Talking of trunks, you may notice that Marc is wearing the same pair here as Chet had on in their first encounter, shown just above. I like to think Chet handed them over and forced him to wear them as a punishment for that poor performance, but in any case, it's a nice addition (No 28) to the mitchmen series about 'men swapping and sharing clothes'. Sweaty wrestlers make tasty donors. 
(For the other mitchmen clothes sharing posts, click on the 'sharing' label at the foot of this one).




Chet's gleefully dishes out the full 'Crab' treatment on Zack Reno,
while Austin Cooper reels groggily in the background unable to intervene
Chets expression here is almost scary (it makes you wonder about that hair).
.
I love Zach's balletic, outstretched foot in this picture.
It's very sexy but perhaps an indication that Chet has even more leverage in reserve.

Austin gets a taste of crotch-sniffing humiliation himself in this scene
but shows he's up with the best of them whem comes to cute butt cheeks.

Chet is has an unexpected apprentice here doing most of the work for him,
it's Alex Oliver, fresh from his own humiliation masterclass.
He leaves Chet free to loll back, proud of how good he is.

Back with Tristan, he has to be a little more focussed and careful,
 but he still finds time to gloat at his own success in taming a real pro.
Tristan's sweaty torso reveals his own frustration
 at being tamed by such an boastful exhibitionist.

 

For a moment it looks as if Zach Reno has given Chet a dose of his own medicine here
and is making him kneel in obeisance and submit to being chained up.
In reality it's an elaborate ritual, blessing the collar that will end up round Zach's neck.
It's just another way that Chet grabs our attention and honours us with his dishy dish.

Taken Off The Streets - 3

I hope readers will forgive me for dwelling on BF underwear scenes a little longer.

In erotic imagery we're usually limited to fleeting glimpses of these garments. 

It's not unknown for them to magically vanish, just when it starts to get interesting.

With BF though 

we have the luxury of a producer who gives them a fair share of the limelight

Underwear and contents are right to the fore in this picture. 

Ed was just getting to grips with his unplanned captivity 

when a nice young man arrived and began to run his hands over him.

He's not sure he likes it, but I think I detect a stirring in those underpants.

  

For Terry here, the preliminaries have become a little more intimate.
But with hands and legs tied down, he's obliged to watch with glum resignation

as his captor tentatively probes beneath his underpants.

Vincent has already realised that his undignified, over the desk position puts his ass in jeopardy.
His face flushes redder as exploring give him an extra nervous tingle down there.

Will is well past the tingling stage.
Rough hair pulling signals strong arm treatment.

There's more at stake than his modesty.

These men have all been dressed in the same, white underpants 

they have a characteristic blue line at the top of the waistband. 

They are too preoccupied to worry about whether another man had 'pre-worn' them.

Softened the up as it were, but I suspect another mitchmen, clothes sharing situation.

(Click the 'sharing' label below for more examples, this is no 27)

It turns out Will's pants are not for sharing. Not anymore.
 Will loses his modesty in most spectacular fashion
as his underpants are brutally ripped open.

Leaving him perfectly prepared for a noisy, naked paddling.

Danny on his pedestal is neatly packaged and cute
Waiting to be seen to, he has an understandably apprehensive look on his face.

I singled out this great image for my mitchmen 'Beautifully Bound' series a few days ago.

This image tells you that this is a photographer, a captor, who truly appreciates underpants.

Danny's lifted feet result from them attaching his ankles to his neck with a noose-like restraint.

 

 

Sadly, Danny's sexy underpants are not destined to accompany him all the way.

Once they've served their purpose, getting us salivating, they become dispensable.

Unlike Will's experience, they don't just vanish, nor are they casually discarded.

Instead, they are crudely ripped open by brute force.

Opening the way for the fickle finger(s) of fate.

It takes a certain type of man to understand what a gynaecological chair is used for,

 and would be daunting indeed for such a man to find himself strapped into one. 

Flanked by scary-looking toughs, Dan (No 2) feels intimidated enough 

without having to worry about possible, medical procedures. 

If he could see how tempting his ass looks 

in those slightly see-through white underpants 

he might be even more worried.

For me, the delicacy of this touch is so much more erotic than rough grabbing and pulling.

It's a declaration of interest that Dan, the target, can feel and fear, 

even if he does not fully understand why just yet.

The ravaging of Dan's underwear is restrained too. 

A hole is torn which simply exposes his rosebud.

It's hairy enough to suggest he's conservative or naive in sexual matters. 

But something seems to be going on in that mound between his legs. 

It remains neatly contained, but any growth will increase the exposure down below. 

Dan's puzzlement takes on a resentful air as he digests the indignity.

A man like Dan would find this use of the torn hole surprising.

If he knows what an enema is, he'll think it's women's stuff. Like the chair he's tied to.

Now he finds that being subjected to one by a stranger is uncomfortable and demeaning.

It becomes a strange and deeply invasive experience, coolness permeating within him.

 He has no inkling yet that gradually this will turn into increasing pressure

When the tube is removed the urge to eject it all will become unbearable.

Bring on the cane.

As Martin's pants are destroyed with scissors, 

the snipping blades give him cause to fear worse damage.

He's trembling with nipple pain and fear, 

but knows he had better concentrate and stay still. 

The sense of shared intimacy in this picture, mentorship almost, is sexy. 

Being nipple clipped and deprived of your underpants 

while still dressed in the formal work attire of shirt and tie 

must feel bizarre and doubly invasive. 

BF seems to have a grasp of psychological eroticism which isn't apparent with other studios.

Vincent hasn't been carried off to a cold warehouse to receive his treatment.

He gets a house call and is overpowered and restrained in his own hall. 

Being tied up and molested in your own home is a common gay fantasy. 

It carries the additional anxiety of being disturbed by other members of the household. 

How could he possibly explain this? 

His captor gags him to save him the trouble......

 

Vincents underpants are dispatched with clinical precision.

A photograph that's remarkable for its clarity. This photographer understands that the shredding of underwear is a highly erotic moment for on-lookers. Vincent seems to be similarly excited.

  

The domestic setting makes this unannounced lashing seem doubly electric. 

Utilising the stairs as a vantage point accentuates the incongruity, as though a fellow resident, descending, has stumbled on the shocking scene. This angle also makes the most of Vincent's muscular, tattooed back and cute butt. Suddenly we get the impression of a powerful, streetwise man being tamed rather than a sweet, innocent victim. 

This is a rather special sequence and there's more of Vincent to come in Part 4

Men sharing clothes 26 - Blue Speedo's

In this mitchmen series I speculate about the plight of models obliged to don garments that may have been worn by other men in photo shoots before them. For many men, just the thought of being a model and obliged to dress in clothes of the photographer's choice would be terrifying enough, let alone worrying about where the clothes have been before. This post is drawn from video shoots about men being cajoled into posing as models for the first time, for them sharing garments is a double whammy.

The pictures are from CFNM
I've done my best to eliminate female figures, but you have been warned!

Model No 1

 This is Roger. He has a nice, homely look about him, but in the story, he is a Policeman with a weakness for abusing his authority to intimidate and grope suspects. Planning revenge, his victims lure him to a photographic studio and offer him the chance to become a model.
In his conceit, he doesn't take much persuading, up to a point....

His confidence wavers somewhat when he's presented with swimming trunks to wear.
He's seen swimmers in Speedo's on TV and their costumes always look very brief.

They feel even briefer when he puts them on, 

he's used to wearing underpants with a higher waistline. 

With the photographer watching him dress, he feels very exposed indeed.
Members of the public usually only see him in his heavy Police Uniform.

Then he remembers that he's still on duty.

He'll be for it if the Force find out about this.
The photographer reassures him by telling him she won't tell, 

and he looks really good.
The shoot proceeds

It's around this point that he starts wondering about those Speedo's he's got on.

They weren't fresh out of a packet.

What had happened to them before he put them on?

Model 2

Ray is a work-shy, gym bunny who has been fiddling benefits. 

He has been told at the Job Centre to make more effort to get a job. 

He's told to attend a specially arranged interview. 

It turns out to be a modelling job.

Like Roger, the prospect of posing in nothing but a pair of brief Speedo's is daunting for Ray.
Although he's a sportsman, he's a regular bloke and not accustomed to flaunting his body.

And as you can see, he's just as embarrassed as Roger about taking his clothes in public.

As Roger found, just putting these trunks on demonstrates they are very brief indeed.

Ray's a big boy, so the trunks feel and look much skimpier on him. (Just right in fact!)
They're tighter too, pulling up the waist pulls them right up between his legs.

 Ray complains to the interviewer about the tight fit, but secretly he's pleased,
together with the lack of dressing rooms, he's already got two excuses for failing this interview.

But he's shocked when the photographer checks the fit for herself
 by feeling the tightness of his pouch!

She expresses doubt. Surely Ray isn't big enough downstairs to have such a problem?
To his embarrassment, she even looks inside to see, making more disparaging comments.
He senses this isn't a normal interview.

While she's in there she notices certain white 'marks' on the fabric.
It's obviously stuff which can only have been put there by a man.
The accusation goes unsaid, but the implication makes Ray go bright red.

He's fairly sure it wasn't him that put it there, but if not him, who?
If someone else has had the trunks on long enough to do that in them,
then he's not very happy about having them next to his skin.

Normally he'd storm out of the interview at this point.
but he's on a warning from the Job Centre, so he can't.
Poor Ray!

Was it Roger wot dun it? I don't know.

In fact I don't even know which of these shoots happened first.

Roger might have got them after Ray had hoisted them tight.

It's one of the trials of being a model.
