Leather Sex Appeal - 9

When leather and fashion thinking collide the result is not necessarily pretty.

Fortunately the model is, so we can overlook the 'Gladiator' style briefs and focus on the juicy muscularity and cute man-boy face. A case of one stud is enough.

In today's picture the amount of leather gear on display is challenging my 'more is less' guideline and it's been posted a lot on various blogs this year, but the image is so sexy I could hardy leave it out.

Muir Caps are tricky garments. You need the right shape of face and the right degree of butchness to wear them this way. This chap gets away with it and the cap sits nicely above those wonderful sticky out ears!

Caps like this are normally part of a uniform and look odd on a naked body, undermining the authority associations and emphasising the loss of clothing, the exposure of the ordinary man beneath.

A 'strong vs vulnerable' ambiguity pervades this picture. The hairy, muscular body (wonderful thighs!) radiates power and masculinity - the bands strapped round the arms emphasise this characteristic nicely. I'm not so sure about the body harness, it suits him but does it signify restrained strength - or submissive captivity? The rake of the cap over the eyes is self consciously cute and the coy, teasing way he slips the jock down is completely at odds with the power imagery. Maybe that's why he looks so lovable!

Another example of less is more.

The firm looking cup and the slender straps cutting under the thighs suggest restraint and containment rather than comfort and support.

A good leather man can make even Gloves seem menacing, as though the hands become transformed, hardened by the outer shield.

When it comes to leather I'm a great believer in the dictum, 'less is more' and I've tried to select pictures that reflect that. This man wears only gloves and G-string but there isn't any lessening of the intimidating 'leather aura'.

There is more leather in my current series at mitchmen (Yahoo) see sidebar

Collars are erotic emblems of submission and belonging,
but padlocks and gags symbolise domination and control.
.

This gag is particularly effective because it gives a sense of the bulky plug within
but the captive's face is not distorted by it nor his expression hidden.

His poignant appeal for release is plain to see.

I'm dubious about the idea of slavery in S&M,
but a handsome man newly tamed by a collar is highly erotic.
 

Aficionados may complain about his highly styled hair
but it's a detail that can easily put right when he acquires a Master
and begins to be taught the ways of leather men.

Mitchell's leather themed picture story, 'The Legend of The Path of Pain'
can be viewed at the mitchmen club at Adonis Male (see Gallery Hub tab for link).

An image from the 80's also attempts to connect leather to cool fashion
 but it's still sexy despite - or perhaps because of - the naivety.
These guys are in for a shock when they enter the leather den.
But sure of a warm welcome.
