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.

Make Men Wear Shorts

I have a bit of a fantasy thing going on at 'X' based on the idea of men being obliged to wear shorts for work. Snug-fitting ones of course and as brief as possible. I've tagged the posts #makemenwearshorts.

His First Work Uniform

 

In this particular organisation, even the older Supervisor has to wear shorts. It's a creditable nod to equality, but, as you can see, some shorts are more equal than others. The shorter leg length is a probationary thing, reserved for newer employees (young or not). It not only symbolises the difference in rank, but also reminds the new recruits that although they are big boys now, they are just juniors in this set up and still have a lot to learn. 

  

Original, uncaptioned image (click to enlarge)

 I found this image at Kinky Callum's website, but I suspect it actually originates from Houston Visitor. The compulsory wearing of shorts links quite naturally to spanking and AI creators mostly take this route, but I am loath to blur the age boundary and avoid educational settings for my storyline. The more subtle themes of control, humilation and submission of adult men are more important.

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.

When students go into higher education, the freedom sometimes goes to their heads.

The Lecturer has similar authority to a teacher, subtly derived from their power to grade.

But they do expect students to challenge it.

 Times may have changed, but it's amazing what is possible with legal consent,

ambitious sportsmen will sign up to almost anything to get in the best teams.

It's Brad's first, one-to-one meeting with the new Troop Leader

 

2

Brad is keen on getting the King's Scout Award, so he wants to know more.

3

Brad is confused by this reply, but begins to feel strange sensations.

The shorts were so tight he didn't bother with any underwear. 

He crosses his legs tighter.

 

4

Brad is too mesmerised to say no.

 Luckily, the first module doesn't require any prep or special equipment
and the new Leader is fully qualified to do it.

Homoeros - Recent Work (2025) - 1

1

 

Regulars will know that I have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with shorts, so it didn't take much effort to fall for this hunky hiker, who seems to be wearing a pair made of leather, somewhat in the style of lederhosen. His wanderings have been interrupted by an unpleasant-looking character with a gun. 

He seems to think this is his territory. Freedom to roam? Bah! Humbug! 

 

This story is called 'Hill-Billy Elegy', which sort of prepares you for unprovoked nastiness. The young rambler is called Leo. It's a hot day, but it probably wasn't a good idea to make such a show of his amazing physique.

2

Hillbilly number 1 is joined by another who looks an even more ugly character with an unhealthy lifestyle that probably hasn't done his brain much good. Leo is forced to kneel at gunpoint, presenting a delicious, submissive rear view to us. It might have caused him even more trouble if those emaciated rednecks were to catch sight of it. Luckily, they only want to grope him and make him strip naked. They take him to their camp, leaving his clothes and rucksack behind.

3

 

Surprisingly, and disappointingly for us, their leader turns out to be an unkempt woman. I suppose the fact that there is a leader, and it's not just a bunch of violent thugs, might give Leo cause to hope. Especially as she is quite taken with him, a considerable improvement on her usual entourage. Unfortunately, she also sees Leo's good looks and impressive physique as a challenge.

 

4

Leo is forced to fight her and suffers some humiliating treatment.

Great buns Leo!

 

 

5

It's a painful experience for Leo. 

His dick is symbolically ground into the dirt, much to the delight of the gang, looking on.

 

 

6

But Leo refuses to be a pushover, his muscles show their worth.

His dick also shows commendable resilience in the circumstances.

 

 

7

Unsurprisingly, this doesn't go down very well. It's a contest he cannot win.

The woman responds to his lively dick by rubbing it with her fanny.

Leo defiantly rejects her.

 

 

8

His fate is sealed anyway, they tie him to a whipping post.

You can see the gory results at Deviant Art (link below).

The woman gets sexual revenge too, in the only way she can,

(there's a clue in the image below)

 

 

9

When the lash of the whip and sexual humiliation is finally ended,

Leo is taken away to a shed. He soon realises that this is not the end of his torment.

You can probably guess from this picture where it is all heading.

A traditional Homoeros fate awaits him.

 

 

10

 

A Sheriff finds him traumatised but still alive.

Someone reported Leo missing, and his abandoned possessions were found on the trail. 

Great story.

I have omitted most of the imagery relating to Leo's torment, which is very explicit.

You can see much of it at 'Homoeros - Hill-Billy Elegy' at Deviant Art,

(plus more if you subscribe).

Some more interesting Homoeros titbits........

 

 

11

A young slave, kept naked in chains by his master, looks up,

 wondering what is going to happen to him next.

 

12

 

The young men of Homoeros, like Leo the Hiker in the story above, often have a slightly unreal, fragile attractiveness. Some of that is due to the blond hair and blue eyes. This young man by comparison looks startlingly real and startlingly cute as well. It would be a cold master indeed who could not feel some sort of emotion towards him.  

As is often the case, the artist has only given him a number - 941.

The fate of prisoner 941 is reserved for subscribers.

 

 

13

This image shows yet another young man who has been crucified in the middle of a vast yard. This is a regular situation in the world of Homoeros, but his free pages don't always reveal his inner thoughts about what is happening here. 

 

A man in military attire stands before the helpless victim and seems to be remonstrating with him. His arms wide pose, mirroring the victim's plight, seems full of psychological significance. Earlier pictures suggest the victim had a role as a groom and a cosy relationship was developing with this superior officer.  So this could be a distraught lover sharing his sorrow - or prolonging the anger of their break-up. It could be a friend lamenting his foolishness. A Commanding Officer justifying his hard decision. A regimental bully mocking his misfortune. Whatever the case, the inclusion of this second character makes the image so much more interesting than the isolated victim dying alone.

 

 

14

Here, Homoeros imitates the famous homoerotic images of "Fred with Tires", substituting a typical character of his own as the model. The mechanic in his overalls is a much-loved male sex object. It's traditionally been a strictly masculine job, and the mystery of what might lie hidden beneath the shapeless, workman's overalls is tantalising. As a second layer, the glimpses revealed if partly open are emphasised, somewhat like the cowboy's chaps. 

 

Homoeros has chosen a zip fastening for his Fred's overalls. It's much more convenient than buttons for revealing glimpses, but it can have a mind of its own once released. If your hands are occupied with carrying heavy tyres, it's a dilemma whether to put them down to stop it or hope for the best. We can see almost down to his mechanic's cock, and more revelations below the hip seem imminent. His face is a picture of indecision, but have to content ourselves with the amorphous bulge in his crumpled overalls.

 

 

15

 

These images acknowledge the muscularity needed to heft these heavy tyres.

Shiny perspiration and the dropped top tell us just how hot he is (as if!). 

 

Homoeros skates round the inconvenient reality

 of where all the material in the top half ends up, when it's dropped.

 

16

The same zip still seems to be causing problems in this, outside of work, situation.

We don't know if the lowered garment was already in this position when authority intervened. 

Men do all sorts of things in quiet back alleys, and 'Fred' looks as if he's been caught out. 

 

His hands are placed submissively behind his back, but they don't seem to have been cuffed yet. Modesty might have been a more appropriate response to the challenge.

Unless, he's been ordered to stand this way, that is.....

 

The cop's muscularity and relaxed pose is nicely captured,

but his jeans suggest he's not a cop at all.

17

Whatever 'Fred' was up to in the alleyway, he probably didn't anticipate this outcome.

It doesn't look like a regular Police Station, however, and Fred still doesn't look restrained. 

That suggests he's been intimidated or blackmailed into trying the horse out.

His current state might be described as 'dismayed'.

 

This horse doesn't have a particularly sharp 'wedge', but I'm not sure that it makes much difference after the first five minutes astride it. Having the legs raised at the back makes for a more precarious balance and shifts the discomfort forward, but probably doesn't add much to it. 

(in legs down mode, weights are sometimes attached to amplify the effect).

More Homoeros highlights in Part 2

More Art by Oliver Frey

This article adds to my original A-Z review of Oliver Frey's work

Frey - Tennis Victory

 This image was my first glimpse of Oliver Frey's incredible talent for portraying the energetic wrestling of men gripped by lust. The image of bare buttocks pressed against the net still sends a shiver up my spine! In 1970's Britain, visualising gay sex taking place in front of a audience and in a setting of a place like Wimbledon Tennis Club, the epitome of the Establishment, was defiant indeed. 

He also applied his imagery to the equally unlikely sports of Golf and Cricket.

Frey - Bikers in a Dark Alley 1

This image of bikers getting hot in a dark alley was closer to reality but it's frankness also struck a blow for gay freedom of expression. It was gay art of a sort never seen before - high quality and spelling out what gay means without pussy-footing innuendo.  

Frey - Bikers in a Dark Alley 2

Frey revisited the biker subject in many other images of varying degrees of raunchiness which were, astonishingly, published in glossy, top shelf gay magazines without attracting reprisals from the Police, despite the efforts of conservative pressure groups.

Frey - Leather Lube, Biker Oil

The biker persona was perfect for expressing a boisterous, roughly expressed, bursting out of the closet and entering into forbidden places that reflected the spirit of those heady days when gay men felt that even if they weren't completely free exactly, not really able to realise these fantasies in real life, they nevertheless finally had a legitimacy that would enable them to push open doors that had been closed for all those years.

Frey - Biker Elopement

Frey's pictures did not just express excitement, there was an exuberant joy in them.

Imagining the trappings of conventionality and self -restraint being ripped apart.

It was an exciting time to be gay.

Frey - Lover

But he did not just portray excitement and lust

He also showed a vision of gay love as a beautiful thing, 

performed by beautiful people, beautiful men. 

Frey (as Zack) - Splash

His artistic skills here transform the old, tentative, AMG, shower hook-ups into something much more memorable. A loving shared experience of cleansing vitality with fierce, needle-like sprays of water battering and enveloping the two lovers.

Frey - Chains Broken

Frey's character rogue set the scene for a series of gay, comic book heroes whose masculinity was unquestionable and who were assertive and comfortable in their gay sexuality. Rogue's apparent taste for young virgins seems dubious in retrospect, but at the time reflected the common experience of a youth lost to unrequiteable desire. At that time most gay men of all ages probably were virgins or not long out of it and many no doubt saw themselves as his willing victims, given the chance. 

Bill Ward's later creations - Drum and King - were able to be more balanced characters in that respect 

Frey - Hard Wrestle

Frey's depictions of hard, rough sex were about showing the inherent masculinity of gay men, 

a reaction against years of being universally labelled as effeminate and soft.

Frey - Devilry

If homosexuality was the Devil's work, Frey's men boldly embraced that identity 

Frey - Mortal Combat

That vision of gay toughness also pervades his non-gay, fantasy work.

Frey - Tribal 2
