Miloinvinculis - The Strange Disappearance of Patrol 27


 Eight Men and their Sergeant went out on patrol,
but none returned, and no trace of them was ever found.

Except for nine uniforms, complete with underwear,
piled up in a clearing, deep in the forest

The Art of Miloinvinculis

Miloinvinculis - Alien Hive

 I've been trailing a series of video clips by this artist in recent weeks (see Pirate Punishments). These show the (still developing) power of AI to create memorable, homoerotic film scenes which mainstream moviemakers dare not make, bringing niche gay fantasies to life, but without resorting to messy smut. This image is a good example, a still from a clip invoking the power of wetness and dripping 'substance', to underline the vulnerability of a chunky soldier who has somehow got himself stranded in an 'Alien Hive'. 

All the stills presented here come from clips, which you can view at the link given at the foot of this article. Most are quite brief, but add a bit extra to the story and often have a twist, right at the end. 

The old sixties film 'Mysterious Island' has a brief sequence in which a scantily clad cast-away is trapped by a giant bee in his honeycomb. Unlike the unfortunate above, he (a) is not tied up, (b) has a girl with him and (c) escapes almost immediately by melting the wax seal with a fire. Don't ask where he got the firewood and match from! Despite these shortcomings, I found that scene exciting (and frustrating!) when I stumbled on it. (I referenced this it previously here, in an article about the Art of Siproites, which features a giant scorpion chasing the hero into a similar, but botanical trap).   

The outcome of the 'Alien Hive' isn't specified by the artist (like all the best horror movies), 
but escape doesn't seem to be on the agenda.

 

Miloinvinculis - Bed Bondage 3
 Men tied to beds and struggling to escape are not an uncommon sight in our corner of the gay universe. AI to date has shown very limited power to depict bondage convincingly or capture the struggling effect. The spread eagle position is less of a challenge, but what the artist has done here is to provide a hunky subject and a stimulating, secondary predicament for him, wide open before a door, which is going to open at some point. To admit his captor, perhaps, who has been away, getting rid of a nosy cop. Home Alone should have been more like this! 
 
 
Nice Mistake (Video clip)
 
There's definitely a 'Home Alone' feel about this man's situation. His night visitor is so excited about the opportunity thrown up by his 'nice mistake', that he seems to overlook the logistical obstacles to taking full advantage of it. But, who can blame him for his over-eagerness? Fortunately, it appears that his hunky prey is too intimidated by his villainous appearance and aggression to offer any serious resistance. 
 
(Subscribers to the 'Follow Me' feed must vist the site to see the video content of this article, I'm afraid) 
 
 
Miloinvinculis - Caleb

'Caleb' is one of this artist's longer clips. We see him tied up in a van on his way to an uncertain fate. There's a lengthy bondage struggle in which the captive's body twists and turns, showing his heaving chest and the undulations and distortions of his muscles to great erotic effect. It's more effective in that respect than most of the real life bondage clips I've seen, where the models (understandably) usually lack any desire to escape, let alone the self awareness and flamboyance to act out a genuine escape attempt. Caleb's struggle is brought to an abrupt end when his captor returns with a taser (above), but it's fascinating and sexy while it lasts.
 
Miloinvinculis - At The Stake

 This is a great bondage image, with the neck restraint a fitting humiliation for such a big man. I won't go into the exact nature of his predicament, but there's a clue in the background. The resulting video clip is amazing, but graphic, so be warned.

 

Miloinvinculis - Captured POW's

The strength of this piece is the subtle plot development that happens in your mind as you look at it. The two, hyper-real hunks grab the eye immediately, men with faces, muscles and body hair to die for. Their dog tags and hands on their heads indicate they are POW's, but the handcuffs suggest that they are rather special prisoners. We can see that for ourselves, of course. 
 
There's something exciting about two buddies, who are in captivity together. Their identical underwear (sober black but pleasingly scanty) amplifies that sensation. Are their garments Government issue - or have they been provided by their captors, having relieved them of their uniforms?
Whichever the case, they are not soldiers any more. Just a names and numbers. 

These boys seem to be sitting on a mattress, not quite big enough to be a bed. Then you realise that the mattress is inside a metal box, and they are sitting on the front edge. The box is just big enough to accommodate them both, if not in comfort exactly. Their facial expressions suggest they have just discovered they are about to be sealed inside it. Prime specimens about to be transported to ......
Well, you can decide that!  

There is a video clip for this piece, but it doesn't add an awful lot to the snapshot.

 

Miloinvinculis - Bull Barn Milking 2

Industrial Milking is a popular topic at this blog, and 'Milo' makes an interesting contribution to the imagery of the technology with this piece. The exact mechanics of extraction look a bit sketchy, though. One senses this is more a prank on the side than part of a serious industrial enterprise. 
One man doesn't make a milking factory, no matter how productive he appears to be!
 
 
Miloinvinculis - Bull Barn Milking1

In this gentleman's case, the picture cropping draws a veil over the extraction mechanism, but you get the impression that it's more push than pull - unless there's some very clever gadgetry inside his trunks! That would account for his strained expression, of course. 

Nevertheless, these two donors would be more than acceptable recruits to the factory line. I could see this man's torso getting a good deal of personal attention from the staff. 
Such is the fate of 'Mark' in the next video mini clip....
 
Mark 1 Extra (video clip)
 
In the clip above, the very muscular Mark is seen struggling with his restraints until one of his minders descends on him and distracts him by proceeding to worship his pulsating body. The characterisation of the captor for me is worth the watch, with mighty shoulders and giant arm muscles, he's bursting out of his tight, white vest/tank top (see below).
 
 
bod
Mark's Body is Worshipped

Mark also has a starring role in a longer, mini-epic (9 mins) with similar imagery, but darker content. It's a tougher watch, but the outcome has a surprise twist that's worth waiting for. 

 

Miloinvinculis - Electro 5

This handsome pair of hunks get starring roles in one of Milo's most ambitious projects to date. Their predicament is a great 'getting to know you' situation - even for military buddies. There's a lengthy clip which shows them torn between attempts to pull apart and lapses into mutual consolation. Their grim dance is conducted with visibly indrawn breaths, heaving chests, aborted kisses and (occasionally) pulsating briefs before a sort of consummation is finally realised. 

However, the dark side to this artist's work surfaces when it turns out that the buddies romancing is just one aspect to their predicament, as implied by the title and, less obviously, by the metallic briefs they are dressed in. Separate clips show them being interrupted every time they show desire, with graphic electrical effects, body convulsions and even their bulges making responses.

 


 The 'US Water Sports Team' video (above) is one of my favourites, a little gem with lurking menace. It makes a decent stab (by AI standards) at showing a swimmer being tied up. That's a process that conventional films usually pass over entirely or else show in excruciating detail, fumbles and all. 
 
Creating an AI image or video doesn't involve actors, but the AI engine can be just as much of a diva, with ideas and boundaries of its own that can only be circumvented by patient repetition or trickery.

Recent art by Hongd542

Captive

This muscular man is being held prisoner. He's been stripped to his underpants and ritualistically tied up in shibari-style rope work. A bare topped captor silences his protests. The sun streaming in through the window cruelly mocks his captivity. An array of instruments in the background suggest other torments lie ahead.
 
Cop

A cop in his office pauses from his paperwork for a coffee (product placement!) and a snack. He, too, is mightily muscular, filling out his uniform with every part of his body. Tight enough to show us that he isn't wearing any underwear. Some Offices have that as a rule. The doughnut he's nibbling provokes ribald comments about licking tasty rings from his colleagues. 
 
He might easily be the captive of image 1.
 
Convict

It's easy to visualise him as a prisoner. Restrained with handcuffs, forced to wear the humiliating stripes of a convicted felon and made to submit to intrusive searches at the whim of his jailers. His resentment is apparent, but futile. They will have their way. 
 
Victim

It's even harder, out there on the streets. Danger lurks in every alleyway, and even a street-wise man can fall foul of what lurks there, waiting for an opportunity to sate its lust. 
 
Sportsman

 The sports field should be a place of refuge from the world's evils, a place of relaxing, healthy exercise. But even there, a muscular man is at risk. Teams bend the rules, ostensibly to be the winners, but no sporting triumph can beat the thrill of scoring in the goal that lies hidden in every opponent's shorts.
 
Locker Room Lollipop

As the Cop with his doughnut discovered, things that melt in the mouth can stoke an appetite for savoury treats. There's no shortage of men eager to give them instruction in the locker rooms. It's not only narcotics that get you hooked.
 
Fetish Date

The discipline of team sport is good preparation for the rigours and training for formal servitude. Every journey begins with the first step, but this hunk can scarcely have imagined where that lollipop and curiosity would lead him. 

Juicy Fruits

Temptation abounds in every profession. Stoked by unscrupulous employers who impose quick-release uniforms on their workers. They are designed to assert their power over them - and, by a happy coincidence, satisfy their tastes for eye candy of the masculine kind.  
 
Underwear Inspection in the Army

It's no different in the army. The uniform is prescribed and regularly inspected. Even a soldier's underwear is inspected periodically to make sure it is clean and without creases. The Sergeant thinks it helps with unit bonding.
 
See also 'Peacekeeper' at 'X' 
 
 
Office Boss

Some Offices make their employees wear shorts. In this one, the roles are reversed on 'Dressing Down Friday', with the workers finding skimpy shorts for the Boss to wear and showing him what it's like to be the underling. It's all taken in good spirit usually but, as with any Office 'do', it's wiser to not drain his patience completely. 
 
 
Office Suspension

For those that go too far, there's Suspension Saturday. This happens quite often to employees who happen to be good-looking. They can't show their contrition by writing out lines, of course. Instead, the Boss comes in to see them when he thinks they've had enough and extracts whatever he wants from them on the spot.
 
Office Dicktation

Men with exceptional credentials and malleability may even get promoted to be the head honcho's PA. Their duties mainly involve looking hot when doing the filing and sitting on the bosses knee to take his dicktation. Little extras in their pay packets are their reward for allowing access to their play packets. There's also a bondage bonus if they have to stay late for 'over the knee' overtime. He doesn't take no for an answer. 
 
 
Office Primer

 Some new employees find this culture difficult to adjust to, but primer courses are helpfully provided for promising entrants. In the privacy of the medical centre, they are shown what will be expected of them and how to make the most profitable use of their natural abilities. They are also taught some unnatural ones that might come in useful, too. It's a hard and sweaty induction.
 
 
Milking Medic

The highly experienced medical staff are well-equipped to allay their patients' anxieties about the sometimes-invasive procedures. Their expertise always gets the best out of their charges, who leave exhausted and drained, but with happy memories. 
 
 
Office Restroom

 The pressures and tensions of such jobs are enough to drive any red-blooded male to seek respite in the restrooms. There they can find relief - if one of their equally-aroused colleagues doesn't find it for them first.

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.

Meet The Spartans by Moosemind (AI)

A collection of images by Moosemind with a Roman/Greek/Spartan theme.
I have strung them together with a narrative of my own that is pure mitchmen.
It tells the untrue story of the renowned Spartan Army. 

The Shaming of the Spartans

1

In Sparta, lovers are parting,
 
"Farewell, my love, the Army is assembled.
Today I must march on Throbos*".
 
*A city about 10 leagues from Troy, it was reputed to be the home 
of some of the greatest treasures of the Trojan Empire. 
With an equally renowned, lively nightlife. 
 
 
2

The Army departed from Sparta to the accompaniment of fireworks and celebrations.
Proudly, they bared their weaponry in the traditional way, for which the city was famed. 

 
2
 
The Spartan army stopped off in Homos on the way, to replenish their provisions.
There, the second in command was interrupted, while pillaging one of the locals.
 
"Sire, you must come quickly! 
The Throbbers have sent emissaries!"
 
The General was informed and hastily made himself decent to receive the delegation,
but he was mindful that all Trojans would be still be seething 
from the humiliation they had recently suffered at the hands of other Greeks.
'It will take more than a Trojan Horse to catch me out', he resolved.

 
 
2

Wary of such trickery, the Spartans took no chances with the Ambassador,
They stripped him naked and tied him hands and feet.
 
"Sire, we have come in peace, our only desire is to serve you", he protested.
It was true, he had not come bearing gifts. Instead, his gifts were bared.
 
The General was impressed by the hunky Ambassador.
And turned on by his submissiveness in bondage
He sent him to his personal tent for a private meeting of minds.
 
 

A more relaxed atmosphere spread through the camp.
The emissaries were soon mingling with the ordinary soldiers
and quickly made many friends with their openness.
 "See, I bring a peace offering, for anyone that wants it"
 
 


That evening, to the dismay of sceptics amongst the Spartan officers,
the emissaries produced multiple emissions throughout the camp.
Including groans from the luxurious Commander's quarters.
 
 

The commanders were rudely wakened the next morning by an Aide de Camp.
 
"Infamy General! It's infamy!" he declared, (camply, as custom dictated).
"The Trojan emissaries have infiltrated the entire army during the night,
and they have stolen all our clothes and weapons!
All I have left is my dagger, which I always keep well hidden".
 
"I fear, I too was infiltrated last night", the Officer replied, 
"It was my first time, and it was bloody brilliant!".
 
"I’ll tell the General, But without our weapons, we cannot go on. 
Sound the withdrawal! Everyone withdraw!"
 
 

And so the long march home of the demoralised Army began. 
It was embarrassing returning naked through the same villages that had feted them.
But, unhindered by possessions or clothes, they made good progress. 
 
Their officers rallied their men and kept them going.
"Courage lads! Once we're through the next pass, we'll be safe!
I'll buy you all a beer, when we're back in Sparta"! 

But the Throbbers had taken a shortcut and reached the pass before them.
 It was no good, they were trapped.
 
 

And so the proud Spartan army, in its entirety,
passed into captivity without a blow being struck.
300 blow jobs had brought 'The 300' to their knees.
 
 
 
They entered Throbos, not as conquerors, 
but as humbled, angry prisoners.
 
 
 
The Spartan General voluntarily offered himself to the King of Throbos,
hoping to spare his men the worst of the Throbbers' revenge.
He was taken to the city square and punished severely, like a common criminal.
 
 

Other Officers had also bravely identified themselves
A few with impressive-looking credentials were picked out by the King personally.
To be held in his personal household as hostages and for ransom.
He made them pay a humiliating price for their mistake. Nightly.
 
The rest shared the fate of the ordinary soldiers..... 

 

"Citizens of Throbos! Behold the proud sons of Sparta!"
 
"Three hundred of them dared to challenge us, but confronted by real men,  
they meekly surrendered without a fight, without a stitch on.
We, in Throbos, do not make prisoners of cowardly hooligans like these.
To pay for their pillaging, they must be sold to the highest bidders.
Citizens! Get out your purses! "
 
 


The captive, young Spartan soldiers were horrified.
"They can't do this to us, Sir, can they?" they pleaded with their Sergeant,
"We didn't do any pillaging, well, not much anyway".
 
"I'm afraid they can" the wise old hand told them.
"There's a convention on the treatment of Prisoners of War,
but we don't count as POWs, because we didn't even have weapons.
Legally, we're just tourists, an anti-social gang of foreign louts".

 


The once proud fighters, realised they had no choice.
Engulfed with shame, they hung their heads, 
It was an agreeable gesture to on-lookers, who increased their bids.
 
One by one, they went under the hammer
 and were led away by new masters. 

 



Sold into slavery, the Spartan boys were dispersed far and wide.
 
In Egypt :- "I am bored with this Spartan vassal, bring me my whip!"
 
 

 
In Rome:- "Get up, dog!"
 
"Tonight you will serve me in my bedchamber
and, by Jupiter, you will regret your insolence!"
 
 

In Britannia, a young conscript, toiled in the fields, 
still naked as he had been the day he was captured.
Far from home, parted from his lover,
his only rest and solace was a nightly dose of the farmer's lust.
 
~
 
Such was the disgrace of the Spartan Army, defeated by deception.
Not by a Trojan horse, but by a crack squad of Trojan whores.
