Vintage Bondage - Jeff Golden

1

We find Jeff sitting in a garage, tied to a vintage, Spanish-style, dining chair.
An off-screen interrogator questions him about his involvement in a recent robbery.

 

2

 
Jeff protests his innocence, but his feet shuffle nervously, testing the ropes around his ankles
and rippling the jean creases defining his crotch.
 
 The grubby trainers suggest a street-wise character



 
3

The questioning continues, but when we next see Jeff, his shirt has been ripped open.
It begins to dawn on him that this is not to be a normal interrogation.
 
Personally I'd have thought the garage location and domestic chair were pretty good clues that this is not an official Police investigation!
 
 


4

 
Jeff's protestations of ignorance and innocence do him no good,
Soon he's been reduced to his underwear.....
 
 Underwear which looks refreshingly real, used and worn-in (warm, dare I say?)
Not like it's brand new and just been got out of a packet for the shoot.



5

 
His jeans are now dropped round his calves......
which makes him feel half-undressed
both vulnerable and foolish at the same time .
 
 


6

 
However, a graphic bulge in his underwear (beautifully accented by the creases) betrays growing excitement.
 
 


7

 
It does not go unnoticed by his interrogator, whose gloved hand grabs the lump and tweaks it.
 


 
8

Jeff yelps - in surprise as much as pain.
He looks up pleadingly at his tormentor,
as if dreading what might happen next




9

 
He soon finds out.
The gloved hand yanks down his underpants,
revealing the engorged tackle within.
 


10

 
The interrogator siezes his cock with both hands,
tweaking it and squeezing his balls in a teasing manner.
Jeff's continued insistence that he knows nothing seems rather unimportant now. 



 
11

Content with this aggressive groping, the interrogator breaks off
 leaving Jeff exposed and writhing awkwardly, defences down.
But he won't be left alone for long 


 
12

 
When we return, Jeff's underpants are no longer visible.
A pair of ropes have been tied across his lap
and his cock and balls seem deliciously plumped up

 


13

 
As the angle shifts we can see the ropes are actually looped tightly around his tackle
trapping them, separating it from his body and preventing any return to quiescence. 
As he struggles the ropes cut into his thighs 




14

 
Jeff shifts position trying to relieve the discomfort
but he only succeeds in shifting sideways.
As he does so, the loop of rope slides round his scrotum,
tugging against the tender flesh.
 
 
This sliding, running loop of rope around the scrotum is a trademark restraint of this bondage series. It's the sort of mild, sexy, rope experiment that any curious 'newbie' might try at home. When it's in the control of another person, however it becomes a 'tether' and, once tightened, the sexy, sliding effect becomes abrasive and a self-inflicted torture for those who resist.
 
 
15


The lights go out, leaving Jeff alone to ponder his confession.

 
During the night it will get colder in the garage,
his restricted, sitting position will get more uncomfortable,
and his joints and muscles will stiffen.
But the chafing rope across his thighs and around his tackle 
will punish every movement he makes.
 
 ~
 
To be continued........

This scene is taken from 'Bound To Please No 1' from Bacchus Studio/FilmCo (1980's) .
It's the first video of a series in which rope master Scott Arden torments a number of different studs (though he's rarely visible on screen himself). The bondage is quite light, indicative rather than realistic but I like the prominence and imaginative use of clothing (which is something of a mitchmen fetish) also the groping, gloved hand which is highly suggestive of control and artfully displays the model's tackle to great advantage!

Bound to Please 1 (back cover)
 

The captive, Jeff Golden is not exactly a household name in gay circles although the site I checked described him as 'legendary'. He had average guy looks but a nice smooth body and very photogenic tackle (both of which feature in part 2 of this mitchmen posting). He also appeared in Spank 'em Hard, a video with a well-known cover image though I'm not familar with it's contents. Spanking is a genre which is not a passport to instant facial recognition I would say. He also seems to have done lots of straight movies with some of the stars of that era like Ron Jeremy.

101 Uses For A Belt - No 5, Weaponised Bling


 This belt might have once been a trophy too, it's blingy character having great appeal to a certain type of man, appeal even greater than the basic, showy, belt buckle beloved of cowboys and flaunted by others in previous postings in this mitchmen series.

However, this impressively-built man has not simply draped the belt casually round his neck as did Alexsander Freitas in Belt Use No 4 , he's wrapped it round his forearm. This could simply be a way of showing it off to us, but it's somewhat reminiscent of the arm bindings used by fighters. 

Used in that context the studs and stones decoratively embedded in it would become quite dangerous. So there's an element of menace here which the stony, almost belligerent expression of the muscular model and the skull and crossbones motif of his buckle do absolutely nothing to dispel. 

Is this the arm equivalent of the studded, knuckleduster beloved of street-fighters?
(Not to mention queer-bashers)

Is it a sort of 'forearm duster'?

I dare say our model here is as much a pussy as everyone else and might point to the defensive qualities of this arrangement. Let's face it, if you walk around wearing a bejewelled belt like this, you need to be prepared for the unexpected. In the picture, he actually seems to be clutching it to his chest as though someone has just demanded that he surrender it. Probably just the photographer who provided it in the first place.

Ehrlik - Booty of the Ivory Isles

Ehrlik - Booty of the Ivory Isles

 A paradise where beautiful men seem to grow on trees, ripe for the plucking.

The low-hanging fruit will always attract opportunists.

~

The elegant beauty of the blond victim here and the cinematic use of colour and an idyllic setting contrasts starkly with the crude nature of the abduction and the coarse, lumbering bulk of it's perpetrator (whose strength is nicely characterised in those mighty shoulders). 

The big man's attire suggests he is a local but the colouring and tidy appearance of the blond makes me wonder if he is a tourist, snatched from his sun-worshipping on the beach for the beast's entertainment. I can imagine his sexy pair of red, speedos lying forlornly on the sand where the abductor discarded them, a puzzling clue for his friends to find when they notice he is missing.

We don't know what the motivation is for this little drama but the ass-up carrying position of the unconscious victim and the punned title are both pretty suggestive.

101 Uses For A Belt - No 4, The Trophy


 Some men keep the underwear of their conquests as souvenirs, but in the mitchmen world of S&M, macho belts are a much more impressive trophy and the more elaborate the belt buckle, the more kudos attaches to securing it (by unsecuring it from it's former owner).

Here Alexsander Freitas emerges from the bedroom with his spoils of sexual conquest (and ready for more apparently). Beyond the door the likes of Matt Scheirmeier or Ledermeister are nursing memories of being mastered by him and ruefully reflecting on the casual, teasing use of their belts that has now led to their being forfeited to a stronger man.

The unruly, hairy torso of Alex Freitas is one of the glories of gay porn, it's carefully cultivated to look uncultivated and looks great pitted against a smoother bodied male.

The Art of Amalaric, Part 8b - Lord Chatterley's Forester

 This story is one of Amalaric's most satisfying reads with a neat compactness that qualifies it for the 'Lollipops' section of this mitchmen survey (Part 9) but it also contains a substantial section describing the nature of life as a slave, making it slightly more suitable for Part 8, 'A Slaves Life', so I've effectively designated it as a 'Part 8 and a half'


819 Amalaric - The Chatterley Estate

Builders and workmen form a major source of grist for Amalaric's stern mill, but hunky, gardening types are almost equally popular. In this story, Jim Oliver arrives in the UK, fresh out of Aussie horticultural college and lands a job on the Chatterley Estate. These are ancient, hereditary lands centred on an imposing Gothic pile with a somewhat sinister appearance, evident in the image above. Amalaric revives the equally ancient job of 'Forester' for Jim, which is about as near as you can get in the UK to being one of those homoerotic lumberjacks so revered by Tom of Finland. 

Amalaric's picture gives a sense of how impressed and pleased Jim is with his new situation. He throws himself into his duties with enthusiasm and his readiness to expose his torso to the summer sun soon catches the eye of Lady Chatterly. She is the sister of the Lord of the Manor and proves to be another Amalaric femme fatale. She duly makes advances and Jim reciprocates, adding her to his own, considerable list of conquests in a nearby barn. The earthy experience so impresses the cultured Lady C that she can't resist bragging about it and disparaging the sex life of her brother, who is gay.

Lord C's explicit characterisation as a gay man is unusual for Amalaric (Bobby and his accomplice in 24 hours are the only other characters I can recall who are described in that way, see Part 3, image 312 et seq). Amalaric's other predators usually seem to have gay leanings, but it's implied and not entirely confirmed by their actions. It's often quite hard to say whether their interest in manipulating other men is really about sex at all or simply a way of wielding power over them.

Having sown the seeds of discord, Lady C leaves on a 3 months holiday to escape the English winter. No sooner has she departed than Lord C accuses Jim of raping her. There are many echoes of the story of Steve Delgado here – a man isolated in an unfamiliar jurisdiction and falsely accused of rape with the key witness conveniently absent (see Part 6, Cruel Justice). However, the motives are different here, putting Jim in prison and out of reach of his sister is the last thing on Lord C's mind.

English aristocrats no longer enjoy the possibilities of cruel, unbridled power available to the ruthless Arizona Sheriff in 'Steve Delgado', (in fact since 'Pride and Prejudice', they've become soft stereotypes for aspirational romance in the manner of Mills & Boon and Disney). Nevertheless Lord C's money and position enables him to threaten the spunky, defiant Aussie with considerable unpleasantness and brutality. 

It's a ploy of course, to cajole him into submitting to a private, off-the-record, punishment arrangement (in the manner of Todd Sanders and Ryan in 'Bobby' - see Part 3- Hunks and their Manipulators). In these circumstances, a three month contract of unpaid work, to compensate the Chatterley family for his insult, seems to offer Jim an easy way out. 

This is similar to the arrangement Dave McGuinness makes with the banker in '24 hours' in order to pay off his parents' debts. Amalaric's refinement and intertwining of themes familiar from other stories is a pleasing and satisfying feature of this yarn (fans of Wagner's complex music will understand the effect).


820 Amalaric - Jim Waiting For The Master

Having thus signed away his freedom, Jim reports to the big house next day to begin his reparations with a summary punishment. He is taken down into the basement, forced to strip down to his underwear and humiliatingly groped. Then he's left to stew for seven hours with a flail ominously hanging in plain sight on the wall. Jim's isolation and realisation that he faces an unimaginable, barbaric punishment is nicely captured in the image above. His fears are realised when the lackeys return and chain him to a post. Lord C arrives to cut off his underpants and personally administers a lengthy punishment with the flail.


821 Amalaric - Jim Leads Them To The Scene Of The Crime

The flogging is just the beginning of Jim's ordeal. Next, he is forced to lead them, still stark naked and raw with pain, to the barn where his lust led him into this trap. The strange procession is joined by curious servants and estate workers as they pass by. Jim shows them all where he had sex with Lady C. Having thus apparently confessed to the 'crime', he is tied down over bales of hay in the same spot and subjected to a rather different sexual invasion by first the Lord himself and then a succession of burly estate workers. Although Lord C is gay, Amalaric gives us no reason to suppose his men are, their participation in Jim's deflowering seems to have more to do with laddishness opportunism and loyalty to the Lord than sexual desire

This scene and Jim's preceding sexual encounter with Lady C are explicitly described which is unusual for Amalaric. All his stories are infused with erotically loaded events but sex does not usually go beyond forced milking, though more is sometimes hinted at.


822 Amalaric - Jim Is Fitted With A Chastity Device

As a final insult and fitting punishment for his supposed misdeeds, Jim is forcibly fitted with a chastity device (which I think is the only example of such a gadget being employed in Amalaric's stories). He is told that it will only be taken off when he is under supervision - at work, for example. This curious blend of sexual sadism and pragmatism is typical of Amalaric's enslavement arrangements.

In this picture we see that Jim's new appendage seems to be something of a wonder for the estate workers who linger and ogle the embarrassed young Aussie. The nephew character who tormented Tanner in his enslavement story (seen in image 815 from Part 8) also drops in to enjoy Jim's humiliation, hovering with characteristic furtiveness in the background (second left in the grubby vest). This connection gives a hint of Jim's vulnerability to opportunists in his new subservient position.

The long-standing Anglo-Aussie tradition of fierce sporting rivalry and ruthless one-upmanship will give a pleasing twist to Jim's plight for many Brits.


823 Jim Is Put To Work In The Fields

If Jim imagined he would simply return to his old job after this traumatic punishment he soon finds he is mistaken. He is transferred to new quarters - a secure, bare prison cell where his most intimate routines are closely monitored and the food is frugal. He is put to work on unskilled, labour-intensive tasks like tending the windswept fields (above). This one looks like it's going to need a lot of weeding and he's not been given any tools to do it with. As a concession, he is allowed to wear underpants for work but is shacked with leg irons to prevent escape. In the weeks that follow, the estate men prove to be enthusiastic enforcers of Jim's servitude, an authentic if anachronistic adaptation of the British Estate tradition of loyalty to the Lord.

 

824 Jim Is Put To Work In The Quarry

We also see Jim working in a quarry, manually shifting stones. It's back-breaking work and he hates it as much as the muddy, quarry slave illustrated in picture 817 (from Part 8). The other estate workers delight in 'supervising' him, reminding him of his slave status and administering corporal punishment from time to time. They make sure he's denied any pleasure and given no opportunity for private, sexual relief when he's out of the chastity device. He stumbles across a copy of the original 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' while clearing a barn, but it is taken away from him, an interesting irony.

 

825 Jim Oliver Milked

Any worries Jim might have had about the estate workers wanting to molest him or repeat his treatment in the barn prove to be groundless and after a month he discovers why. Like Tanner (in Part 8, image 808 onwards), he discovers that there is to be a formal process for relieving the sexual frustration arising from his enforced chastity and it is conducted at monthly intervals.

Lord C performs the task personally in the salubrious surroundings of the Ballroom of the Big House. It's something of an honour for Jim, since a humble barn or cellar serves for most slaves. Chained to a pillar (above) Jim faces this latest humiliation with manly dignity. Lord C brings in his pals and cronies to watch as he forcibly milks his frustrated slave. Inevitably there's a spillage onto the carpet which necessitates an immediate punishment for Jim. There's no shortage of volunteers amongst these public school types to carry it out.

As they discuss the forthcoming Garden Party, Jim realises that his duties as Lord C's slave will not be limited to hard, physical field work. Other tasks, intimate in nature and no less humiliating are coming his way. Still, at least there are only two more months to go........well, that's what he agreed to anyway.......

The Garden Party is described in an appendix to Lord Chatterley's Forester at Gay Bondage Fiction. It's by a different author, Red1skin, but has more pictures by Amalaric  (first chapter of both parts free but it's a subscription site).

This mitchmen series on the 'Art of Amalaric' continues in Part 9a 'Lollipops' and you can also read the entire series starting from Part 1 - 'A Slave To Passion'

101 Uses For A Belt - No 3, Manly Modesty

Ledermeister - Cowboy series (Colt Studio)

This cowboy (like Matt in No 2 of this mitchmen series) also uses his belt buckle as cover for his tackle, but it doesn't seem like a deliberate attempt to tease. Rather, his face seems full of anxiety and resentment. It's as if he's just been forcibly stripped by the bunkhouse bullies and now has only his belt available as he tries to recover his dignity.

In a mitchmen-esque scenario his tormentors might well have left his pants hanging from a tall, prickly cactus or tossed them onto a rock in cold river. They might easily have been ripped to rags during the struggle to remove them, perhaps it was the sight of his flesh showing through holes worn in his buttock that provoked them to attack in the first place. Who knows what other indignities he may have suffered before they left him alone? He's seems almost tearful here.

This cowboy's massive muscularity and mature, square-jawed, 'Desperate Dan' face makes his humiliation seem all the more surprising and sexy. You can't help but notice that the buckle, though emphatically man-sized, still seems less than adequate for this important task. The shadows spare his blushes. Unfortunately the rest of the belt, dangling from his groin like a snake, only draws attention to the size issue and that slight bewilderment in his expression might reflect that he's just detected a revival of interest from his tormentors who have just spotted this unwitting suggestiveness.

~

This photo illustrates how Matt Scheiermeier's seductive use of the belt buckle as a veil over his tackle, in No 2 of this mitchmen series, has an honoured antecedant in this Colt Studio classic series of 'Ledermeister' posing in cowboy gear. Although this model, aka Paul Gerrior, styled himself as 'Leather Master' he's probably better known for these Cowboy images which feature other interesting uses for a belt. This is the only one of the group in which he is naked and it's been touched up to make it decent enough for publication. It's still pretty racy though! Presumably an undoctored version exists but I have yet to find it.
