Experimental Art by Richman65

Shameful Exam 11
 
The mysterious oral procedure being carried out here uses equipment reminiscent of traditional water divining, but otherwise the clinic looks pretty normal, although the nurse looks a little anxious about what's going on. Surprisingly, the patient is stripped to his underwear, but he doesn't seem to be complaining! However, the hint of a metal band on his wrist suggests a more sinister situation.

  

Clinical Restraints and Shameful Exam 3

In another ward nearby, the atmosphere is darker, with an older man looking less sanguine about his Doctor's preparations. The attractive smattering of hair on his chest and legs seems to be bristling at the prospect of an 'examination' that looks as if it will require a selection of hidden instruments (possibly a keyboard) and mandatory silence.

  

Shameful Exam 9

At first sight, the presence of a device on a tripod in this clinic suggest a film set. You couldn't blame the Doctor for wanting to make a record of having this muscular specimen on his table, particularly one clad in such clinging underwear.  
 
The panoply of restraint has now taken on fetish dimensions. Perhaps that is in recognition of the patient's physical attributes. Or maybe it's a precaution against his (predictable) aversion to the needle, which the Doctor is preparing for him. The gloved medic seems to have her concerns too, but seems to be fully prepared to make her own point. 
 
 
Shameful Exam 10

 Here the same clinical staff tackle another, Adonis-like patient and the procedure seems even more obscure. This time though there's a hint that the subject is just a little bit excited about the whole predicament, deep down. The nurse's expression suggests he shouldn't be. 

 

I've posted a precursor to this story at my BSky.Social account

These images by Richman65 demonstrate the power of AI to generate detailed, fantastical, hyper-authentic scenes that would be beyond the powers of most artists starting from scratch. The vague sense of purpose allows for any number of interpretations, ranging from the most innocent of investigations to pure horror scenarios. The improbable attractiveness of the men on the table might even suggest a satirical take on the purely cosmetic surgery industry. The retention of client underwear is a not insignificant detail. It's both appealing and sometimes revealing.

The artist provides notes and a full story that explains his thinking behind these images. Other work there has a more significant female presence, alongside some good, male bondage imagery.

Art by Leo-Art

Leo-Art - Captured Barbarian

 The inhabitants of a remote jungle village have been taken prisoner by the military. One by one they are restrained and interrogated. 

This X-spread is a favourite Leo-Art meme.
The dangling ball is a very clever visual device, concealed but revealing. There's a better example later in this post 

 

Leo-Art - Fighters Club

Two hunky men present themselves for naked inspection in a glamorous bar. They are confronted by an angry man who clearly has considerable control over them. One looks at his companion as if what they are being told they have to do is not what he expected. 
But there's no backing out now. 
 
 
Leo-Art - Dean Milked
 
In this Sci-Fi scenario, 'Dean' finds himself in an equally irreversible situation. Captured by a humanoid alien and suspended in an uncomfortable, reverse bondage he is induced to provide milk for them (a process which greatly interests aliens for some obscure reason). In fact, they seem to expect him to produce a considerable amount of milk. The glowing collar may be providing encouragement, but this may take some time. Hang on Dean!
 
 
Leo-Art - Devil's Castle 1

 In this picture, two adventurers, have been captured by a devil whose wickedness proved to be more than a match for their young confidence. Stripped of his arms and shackled in a cangue (a sort of portable pillory), the cute one is forced to watch his comrade being humiliated. No doubt his turn will come soon enough.
 
You'll notice that this artist has a considerable predilection for rear views.
 
Leo-Art - Devil's Castle 2

 
Twas ever so, there's no gain without pain.
 
 
Leo-Art - Beach Fight

A beach bully gets his comeuppance - at least, that's the interpretation if you believe that blonds are innately innocent and good. I prefer to believe that this is a beach bully doing his worst on a hunky, innocent bather whose Speedos were grabbing all the attention on the beach. 
 
Wrestling scenarios are quite hard to do most mediums, the close interactions and unusual body contortions are a challenge to reproduce and even in photographs it's hard to capture clearly what is actually going on in the tangle without losing the sense of genuine struggle. This image is quite an achievement on that level alone, but it is also a terrific drama, showing power, domination and subjugation. 
  
 
Leo-Art - Warriors

As promised, another dangling ball whose bauble-like appearance belies its fiendish purpose (which I hope I don't have to explain). This render is not as pretty or technically skilled as No 1, but the bauble is more convincingly hung. The different viewing angle is also surprisingly sexy, its effect heightened by some clever close cropping. Obviously the clarification of the frontal threat helps too! 
 

Leo-Art - Greenskin's Dungeon

This scenario, with captives turned into beasts to pull their master's wagon is a popular scenario in art and gay photography (see examples below). Leo-Art's take is slightly comic but has great energy and excitement which picks up the drama of the chariot races and stagecoach chases in movies of yore. The slaves must be asking themselves if this contraption has any brakes.
  
In other versions of this scenario, the slaves usually they use their hands to pull the cart or carriage (as in Pony boys by M.Carcel and AMG Pony Whip), Roa used a chest push in Jim's Pony Duty, Etienne used a waist belt to harness his enslaved sailors to a plough, but here another cargue/pillory device serves as a halter, so the boys have to use their shoulders. The desert setting reminds me irresistibly of Chirenon's Captured Airmen, visualising this as their ultimate fate.

I thought it prudent to censor this one, the original was already spoiled by Japanese-style zig-zags.

 

Leo-Art - Varane - Whip

If you like your men well hung, Leo-Art's your man. 

Varane is one of his characters, the olive green loin cloth suggestive of a military man. Leo always shows the feet pointing down which adds to the stretching effect.

 

Leo-Art - Glory Hole 1

This image and the next show that Leo is equally imaginative with more down-to-earth interactions between men. You'd think this has been done dozens of times, but I'm struggling to think of a memorable example. The interaction between the two 'users' adds something extra to the narrative, as if this is a club with different layers of membership. No prizes for guessing who's got Premier.

 

Leo-Art - Glory Hole 2
 
Renders provided the first ability to automatically change the viewpoint of the imagery and often resulted in an oversupply where the artist was unable or unwilling to choose the best. That's gone into overdrive with AI, but I thought this variant was worth including as it shows us the faces of the two men and with it a clearer narrative. 
 
 
Leo-Art - Foot Fetish

It's quite unusual to find an artist who embraces the fetish of the foot quite as enthusiastically as this. Even Etienne treated supplicants as respectful samplers of a rare delicacy. The pointing finger of the master seems quite unnecessary in this case, which diminishes the kick he gets out of it himself - unless he likes to ration his sub. 
 
From the artist's point of view, the demands of picturing a foot in this situation are also diminished, most of it is hidden. That may explain Etienne's approach, he simply loved drawing feet.
 
 
Leo-Art - Brian the Soldier

This unusual close-up of the abdomen of a man firing a rifle speaks for itself in both artistic and erotic terms. Renderers often surround their subjects with vast, empty spaces which drains the erotic value. Leo-Art is much more attuned to the art of selective cropping. 
Very nice.

Leo-Art works closely with BrosFate and their styles are similar, but I'm surprised to find I have only posted Leo-Art's work at mitchmen once before: Another Whipping back in 2021

AI Art by DirtyMocchaBB -2

DirtyMocchaBB - Let Me Finish Reading This Book

As a seasoned, much decorated veteran, Tim was irked when his new Commander ordered him to wear skimpy shorts at all times while on duty. Reading through the Unit's Manual on Disciplinary Procedures, he began to understand why.

 

DirtyMocchaBB - No, Please Don't Pull My Pants Down

 It was an elite unit, so discipline on the base was tight. 
Dawson knew what to expect when he got back late from leave. 
The Guards seized any opportunity to practice their rope work,
 as a preliminary to questioning prisoners.

 

DirtyMocchaBB -You Can Keep Me Tied Up Like This

 Once they had a man restrained, the security squad was noted for its thoroughness, stripping the veneer of defiance from offenders. They didn't use kid gloves. In fact, they didn't use gloves at all, which were not deemed to be in keeping with the masculine ethos of the unit. Consequently, when drugs were suspected, not every one was keen to follow investigatory procedures to the letter.
 
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - That Is Cutting It Too Close

Trained to resist severe interrogation and pain if captured, these elite soldiers were often drafted in the Army's own, sometimes fanciful, research programmes, as guinea pigs. Knowing how the Army treated their own men, they were never quite sure whether they'd get out with everything intact.
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - Doc help Me, I'm Getting Bigger

Another quest by the Army to develop 'Super Soldiers' using modified hormones was cancelled after it resulted in uncontrollable levels of fraternisation between the men in the barracks. 
 
 
The researchers were loath to sacrifice their work and took the opportunity to sell the formula on to illicit, civilian clinics. Unfortunately, the operatives there often lacked the necessary expertise in dosage, with predictable results.
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - Being A Doctor, I Love Hunky Men

Embarrassing rectification episodes frequently followed in more mainstream, (and supposedly reputable), medical establishments. 
 
Bikers are much misunderstood creatures, most of them are shy, silent types, not hell-raisers. Fond of the company of men but wary of women. So, when Jim's 'enhancement' went wrong, his embarrassment in front of the female Doctor was off the scale. 
 
Already a great looker, that trait made him even more attractive, especially to maternal ladies. But it did not attract much sympathy from this ultra-professional and slightly disreputable practitioner, not known to pass up an opportunity to see a man naked and nervous. 
 
I'm glad to say that this artist's fem-dom imagery does not feature scanty clothing or luscious seducers. 
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - Disgusting Behaviour, Shall I Strip You Here?

It has to be admitted, that some biker recipients of the faulty hormone therapy developed behaviour of a most regrettable nature,  in the worst traditions of 'shock 'em', antisocial activities - like riding their bikes into convent churches, for example. 
 
They were not the first men to discover that the so-called weaker sex often has hidden steel. Far from being upset and intimidated, the Nuns called the Police. The bikers were arrested by a female cop leading a specially set up shaming squad, who arrived complete with lights and camera to record the bikers' humiliations. Which were to be slowly stripped of their leathers and much else in front of their victims.
  
 
DirtyMocchaBB - The Biker's Convention

When the Biker's convention rolled into town with the usual cacophony of noisy, stuttering exhausts, the Women's Guild decided to take action. Squads of women, staked out the Hotels and targeted those men with particularly offensive behaviour.
 
A group of three hairy beasts were cornered in their room by stern old ladies and quickly turned into pussies. The bikers were forced to strip off their smelly leathers and don matching, red underpants. Then they had to crawl across the room to kiss their own boots, newly requisitioned by their elderly, lavender-scented tormentors. 
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB -Men Loving Another

While this mayhem was going on, two half-naked bikers escaped from their room and cowered in the showers, where they discovered mutual support mechanisms that would have risked them being booted out of their Club if any of their comrades had seen them.  
 
I find this image highly erotic. If the boots are cropped off, the pair morph into an artistic diving pair, sexily consoling each other after an 'off' dive.
 
  
DirtyMocchaBB -Please Let Me Go, I'll Do Anything

The police did nothing to intervene with the bikers, they were too busy with apprehending young, speeding motorists who were much easier to deal with than
 rampaging women and rowdy, motorcycle gangs. The younger generation could usually could be relied upon to compliantly provide innocent entertainment into the small hours before being released, without charge. 

 

DirtyMocchaBB -I Will Enjoy Taking Off Your Clothes And...

Most of these young men kept silent, knowing that an unsympathetic 'Serves you right' or an even worse (painful) fate awaited them if they revealed their indiscretions to their parents. 

Some Fathers who did learn of their son's sordid experiences, however, took exception and then revenge. Relatively innocent young cops on night patrol found themselves mysteriously targeted as surrogate examples and removed to a place of captivity without benefits. 

DirtyMocchaBB - I Love All That Fur On You

Some captive cops found their treatment at the hands of irate Fathers (and sometimes their sons too) less unpleasant than might have been expected. It was only afterwards when they realised there might have been cameras recording all their responses that they started to feel uncomfortable about it and anxious for their careers. 
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - A Kiss Is Just A Kiss

Maybe a kiss is just a kiss, but some kisses are more intense than others. This seemingly chance encounter between a muscle hunk, minding his own business and an opportunist passer-by, oozes with erotic appeal. An unlikely pair on the face of it, each feeling out the other, perhaps taking the first step into a passionate affair, as time goes by. The stereotyping is daring and very powerful. 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - Guess What's Coming Off Next

Room Service never used to be like this, but maybe I've been going to the wrong hotels! I wonder what else is on the menu? It looks like touching is 'off' tonight, but imagine having a cutie, bell boy stripping off for you in your bed. This is a marvellously understated image leaving the viewer to imagine how things will progress. 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - The Coach Enjoyed His Inspection
 
How To Get Into Tight Pants if you've got a big backside.
Get the coach to give you a hand, of course.
But unless you want to curry favour with him, 
be alert to his famous, underhand tactics.
 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - I Must Find The Secret Codes

This artist's work is sprinkled with really attractive, non-erotic images, like this one of a (hunky) adventurer seeking out a clue to an ancient, lost treasure in a dusty, old library. The atmosphere and colouring is terrific. The symbolism of the shaft of sunlight is a trifle corny, but great visually. 
 
DirtyMocchaBB - No-One Can free You From My Spell

The previous picture and its colouring co-ordinates nicely with this image that references the legendary genie in the lamp of '1001 Arabian Nights'. 
 
The neat twist here is that the servant of the lamp does not live inside it as some airy-fairy magical vapour, but is, in effect, the lamp's companion, guardian, lover even. In other images of this set, the servant has the lamp's sinuous spout in his mouth as if he is sucking it. 
 
It looks like a very valuable lamp, too. Is this the secret treasure the adventurer seeks, and if he finds it will he, too, become enslaved?

Art by Steve Masters 4

Read this series of posts from Part 1 
 
Steve Masters - Greasing The Saddle

This image can't be found in the beefcake publications of the sixties, it's far too suggestive. Master's title seems to imply this is a regular rendezvous for the cowboys, a male brothel perhaps, which would account for the dodgy wallpaper and the rather deprecating title!   
 
'The saddle' doles out lubricant to a cowboy whose intense gaze and thin smile has a pretty scary look about it. Particularly when he's holding his belt like he wants to use it on someone's ass. In fact, you can interpret the image as showing that he just has done so, the rent boy rubbing his bruises rather than lubing himself. Luckily, the other cowboys seem up for fun rather than tormenting their steed. 
 
I've seen this image with the eyes of the two central cowboys blanked out (like the nipple shapes here). I'm inclined to think that could be the original version, because I can't think why anyone would make such an alteration, retrospectively. To modern eyes, it adds a menace that is coldly inhuman rather than lustful. The image above is a more complete version anyway, showing the bed in the foreground. That would have been a controversial ingredient in its day, sex in a bed is intimate and personal, not just a discharge (for which heterosexuals could be excused).
 
The styling of this image has a look of the 50s about it, the chair design being a part of that. The 'hollowed out' drawing style was later the trademark of the British artist, Bill Ward, in his cartoons.
 
 
Steve Masters - Men In a Bed
 
This picture illustrates perfectly the heightened intimacy of getting into a bed with a man. They are not actually having sex, but it's strongly implied. This looks like a hotel room so we can bung in the word 'seedy' as well. 
 
The sailor with his cap still on and sweetheart tattoo epitomises casual, 'rough trade' but this looks pretty affectionate and genuine. The highly stylised, drawing style has produced a picture that is more sensual than might be expected for such sparseness. It cocks a snook at the Peeping Tom in the background, conservatively dressed and looking very disapproving. 
 
 
Steve Masters -Matelot
 
I've censored this image to meet the blog rules, 
but you can see it unspoiled on 'X'
 
This early image in the same style is self-explanatory, a bit of R&R between men of disparate sizes and exceptional physiques. The title of this piece is probably derived from the cockleshell hat, the rear man is wearing. Masters associates it with fishermen in other images. He's also wearing a (just visible) rolled-up singlet with horizontal hoops, a nautical style (a la Gaultier, below). 
 
The background imagery looks like conventional room furnishing, apart from a rope-like construct that disappears through an elaborate hole in the wall like an anchor cable. The subs raised arms give a 'come and get me' tang of the bordello again.
 
Matelot Hoops
  
 
There's a further, early image in this style at my 'X' account that ceases to have any meaning if it's censored, but it's actually more interesting for its fetish ingredients than its dix. It features a biker with a captive in a baseball cap (subtly roped round his ankles). Masters uses his 'double vision' technique to disguise a sharp object as a book.
 
 Masters' proclivity for S&M is well-documented and his early images as 'Kurt' feature leather dungeon scenes, which unfortunately are too extreme to show here. The examples I have are poor quality reproductions anyway. 
 

 
Steve Masters - Cop and Biker

This image bridges the gap to Masters' better known style. The biker cum matelot reels back in wonder at the cop's enormous package, which has a pouch hidden in it, like a kid's picture puzzle. The cop's assets are supplemented by a truly 'bent' handlebar, which curls over his hip like a spare part at an orgy. 
 
The biker is wearing a matelot striped top that is sexily cropped. His jeans are already undone, but both men seem half undressed anyway, as their clothes seem to dissolve away below shoulder level, revealing nipples and abs. A bulbous fuel tank beneath the biker, between his thighs, signals the erotic momentum. 
 
 
Steve Masters - 'Lands End'

 This seems like a typical 60s surfer image at first sight, more wall hanging than erotica, with tasteful nudity. In fact, the two protagonists in the foreground are bikers, one a serious enough enthusiast to wear goggles. His discarded clothing, meticulously detailed in the foreground, 
is erotic in itself. No underpants! 
 
Masters employs a hybrid outline/shaded technique for the clothing that is fascinating technically. There's a slightly unreal quality that contrasts with the wearer's realistic nudity. The towel trailing between his legs looks wet and seems to show an appropriate outline beneath, but it's well disguised. 
 
The middle figure seems to be gazing out to sea as he undresses. His cap is not the conventional biker style, but more that of a seafaring captain, the nautical theme Masters often returned to. However, the jock suggests he's not pondering the mysteries of the Ocean. He's holding his belt stretched tight, suggesting tension (and perhaps a desire to unleash it). The end emerges from his clenched fist upright and looking like a banana, but I don't think it's his lunch. Not literally. His clothes also dissolve into outlines.
 
 The reclining figure in the background probably is a surfer or sunbather. There's a collage-like disconnect between him and the other figures that suggests to me that he, or his (sanitised) tackle, is the true object of the middle biker's attention. As though these are sketches for a larger, wide landscape picture.
 
I must admit I didn't know where Land's End was in the States*, although it turned out I'd actually been there a few years back. It's on the Pacific Coast side of San Francisco, not far from the Golden Gate Bridge. A popular cruising area, I believe.
 
*My efforts to find the answer to this seemingly simple question showed just how much Google has lost the plot as a search engine in recent years. It's much vaunted AI feature insisted there was no such place in the US, but, surprise, surprise, there was a clothing company of that name that I ought to know everything about. 
 
Thankfully, Wikipedia came to the rescue further down the page with that priceless commodity Google is no longer interested in - information. I can't wait for someone to launch a proper search engine again that supports research rather than advertising, I'd be willing to pay for it.
 
Steve Masters -Showers

I love the secret bottom-touching in this playful and fairly well-known locker room image. It's the best example I have seen of a coloured Masters picture. Authentic or not, I don't know, but it hasn't come from a magazine, it's an original picture. It looks as if it has been exposed to water damage, but that has fortuitously created a compensating effect of steaminess.
