Vintage Bondage - James Seely

James Seely by Kris - 1

In this 1965 picture by Kris of Chicago, James Seely looks every inch like the military man who's just come into the studio to pose for some skin pix and earn himself some extra cash. His muscularity and USMC tattoo mark him out as a man who can look after himself. The jock he's wearing is reassuringly masculine and there's a certain casual confidence in this open-legged pose. As a winner of the Mr Florida title, Seely was well used to displaying his physique. But there's a look in his eye here that's a little wary and he's clinging to the stool as if not quite secure.


James Seely by Kris - 2

In this picture he shows his military background with a confident, casual pose and rebellious gesture. We don't really know if know if the finger was a spontaneous reaction to provocative banter or if it was deliberately posed by Kris. However, given at arms length here, it seems like a half-hearted, sly response to being ordered around, whilst still obediently holding the pose. Seely's submissive and questioning expression makes it look more like an invitation than a rebuke.


James Seely by Kris - 3

In this picture we can see that the garment protecting James's modesty is only the remnants of a jockstrap, curiously adapted to a posing pouch (a puzzling phenomenon of the 1960's that I explored in mitchmen's Vintage Season, Part 11). This leaning back pose puts his whole torso on display and James looks abashed, as if this is not quite what a man should do. He puffs out his chest in a show of military manliness but holds the stool for support, protecting his rear, but perhaps not realising just how grabbable and appealing his lean physique and slender waist looks.


James Seely by Kris - 4

If the model felt discomforted by the self display of the previous pose, it's even worse here with his crotch thrust forward, offering himself up to the gaze of strangers. It seems to show in that irritated, 'what's going on?' expression. He's bound to feel vulnerable, because he cannot protect himself in this position and getting out of it requires awkward, undignified manoeuvres. That helplessness makes for a very sexy picture and (unknown to him) Kris has ensured that his jock-pouch stands out, virgin-white against the background. The bulge it reveals is necessarily modest by modern standards, because of the legal constraints of the day, but it won't necessarily have felt like that to him.

The magic Kris weaves using this elegant, art nouveau style stool is a tribute to his artistic skill.


James Seely by Kris - 5

   Next, Kris introduces dangling chains and persuades Seely to strike a classic body-building pose with them wrapped round his wrists. He looks like a captive slave being presented for sale or made ready for punishment. The subterfuge of combining classical art and modern fitness imagery was probably intended to confuse the model just as much as it was the censors and Seely's wonderfully expressive face suggests it's had exactly that effect - with an dash of apprehension thrown in. 

Kris got Seely to change into a 'proper' posing pouch for this part of shoot. It better suits the allusion to slavery, but the flimsy material is more directly revealing than coarse, jock fabric and it probably felt that way to James as he slipped his tackle into it. There's even a slight impression that it might even have been pre-wetted, Royale style, to enhance it's clinginess. That might have contributed to the model's pained expression. Kris has drawn attention to it with some clever lighting. 

James looks big, strong and powerful in this perspective, worthy of being restrained with chains. 
It's a dramatic physical contrast to his poses with the stool, but he looks no less vulnerable.


James Seely by Kris - 6

This picture may look familiar, I used it 18 months ago in The Abandoned Slave, a captioned post spoofing the pretended restraint in bondage imagery of the mid 20th century. Kris seems to be doing the same himself with the dangling chain end looking for an anchorage and humorously phallic. Seely contributes a delightful, puzzled expression. The trailing chains rising up between his open legs are not devoid of erotic significance either.

Kris has subtly accentuated the shape of Seely's pouch here by allowing a drooping shadow to fall across it, but it's far from prominent (compare it with the jock cupping in image 4). Rather it helps create a sense of near nudity in Seely's willowy physique. 


James Seely by Kris - 7

That sense of flexibility flows through this image too with James seeming to be trapped in the chains and twisting to look back at us pleadingly. The first sight of his backside is a treat, no wonder he looks so worried! That's not the only significant development here because in this image he actually is completely naked. The pouch has gone the way of the jock leaving only a tell tale line across his glute.


James Seely by Kris - 8

Seely playfully wraps the chains around himself, protecting his modesty in the frontal view.
His physique looks mellow and attractive here and is enhanced by the spiralling chains.
His face is a picture of uncertainty, this is how you would imagine a captive to look
 on the auction block as the bidding fury mounts.


James Seely by Kris - 9

The model's playfulness emerges more clearly here. 
Seely's back is the most impressive result of his bodybuilding but it's the buttock cleft
 that draws your eye, thanks to Kris's adroit arrangement of the chains. 
I suppose you might describe this as an early manifestation of the tentacle effect,
with the victim unable to decide what to do about it.


James Seely by Kris - 10

Freed from the chains, Seely presses his hands together to bring out the bulk of his back.
As with image 5, he seems to shrink into a surprising, more compact shaping.
Personally I prefer the slender look.

This pose also creates the frivolous impression that he's anxiously covering his modesty
 and looking round for the missing pouch.

Kris probably photographed full frontal images during this shoot, but the time had not yet arrived when he could advertise them or publish them openly in the beefcake press. However, nude studies of this model do exist and my next post will include some along with other examples of his delightful facial expressions.

Targeted


A few hours ago he was he was hard at work, digging on a construction site,
he was looking forward to a dirty weekend with his girlfriend.
But suddenly he was grabbed and manhandled into the back of a van.
Two burly thugs stripped him of his shirt, boots and jeans.
and now he faces a very different weekend.

Chastity Art by Blake Alexander

Blake Alexander - Caged Mako 1

Like Aizenhower, Blake Alexander draws on the characters of 'The Legend of  Korra' for these images. He's dressed them in modern clothes and set the encounter in a sort of classical pavilion or villa bizarrely located in what seems like a typical, suburban, back garden. 

It's a fairly complex scene and the first impression is of a technical style that is crisp, clean and colourful. Visually it's very appealing to the eye and it's populated with attractive men dressed in modern, sexy clothes (nice shorts!) that make you want to see more. 

This picture belongs to a series called 'Caged Mako', Mako being the character who is being dominated and groped in the foreground trio. The thumb just showing between Mako's thighs and his mounded shorts just above it are a very clever detail and, to my mind, much more sexy than a crudely grabbing hand. 

Beyond him is Bolin who features prominently in my recent extracts of Aizenhower's images. He is being readied for you know what by the Commander, who is being assisted by a curious blob-like manifestation which is helpfully supporting Bolin in mid-air, holding his arms and legs in a convenient, spread-eagle position. He seems as happy about it as any leather guy would be in a sling.


Blake Alexander - Caged Mako 2

In this image the clothes of the captives have been magicked away leaving them in jock-straps. Although none of the characters have moved the scene has become much more charged erotically, with the groping hand now in intimate contact with Mako's crotch features and Bolin's rose bud fully visible, open, vulnerable and tempting. Both men appear to be covered in a sheen of perspiration following this unexpected development.
 

Blake Alexander - Caged Mako 3

All the remaining clothes now disappear and the excitement of all (except Mako) is revealed.
We can now see that the object that the kneeling man has been holding in his right hand is a chastity cage and it has now been lodged around Mako's cock. The 'safety string' holding it in place is a surprising detail, it ought to be able to stay on unsupported! The fitter strokes it lovingly but Mako doesn't seem to notice, he suddenly has his hands full behind (neat!). 

Meanwhile, Bolin's immediate admirer is poised to engage gear.

In a fourth image, the fountains duly gush.

I suppose the simultaneous depiction of what happens to Mako and Bolin is intended to draw out the 'buddy effect' of friends being exploited together and unable to help each other. However, there's a slightly frustrating detachment between the two cameos, the two men don't even look at each other and the freeze technique rules out more physical communication. Not that they seem to need much help, Bolin is clearly having the time of his life and there doesn't seem anything to prevent Mako escaping if he wanted to, despite the angst on his face. He is not visibly restrained but I suppose there might be some magical, invisible bindings on his wrists. Forgive my ignorance, fans!


Blake Alexander - Caged Mako 6

The prisoners are released after serving their purpose and later pictures in the series show Mako cruising, but frustrated by the restriction of his cage which is still in place. He doesn't get his clothes back either. In this rather beautiful image we see the device more clearly. It has a curious, organic shape resembling the head of a hawk. The gold colour suggests metallic solidity but in this universe I imagine it might have magical qualities that enable it to come to life. It's no longer attached to a retraining waist string either. The mind boggles.

Milking Factory 16 by Gorounaoki

Gorounaoki - Black vs Villain (h-d)

Gorounaoki's milking factory features a hygienically sealed enclosed chamber. It is kept chilled to keep the product fresh, the temperature is low enough to cause the milk producers' breath to condense. I dare say it also stimulates their lungs and encourages them to stay active, rather than allowing themselves to be passively milked, which must be a temptation after a few hours in the saddle. 

This artist subscribes to the theory that men's nipples can be milked too, perhaps by introducing some mutated hormones into their feed. True or not, it is a sexy embellishment that shows up well here at the 'green' station at the end of the line. Attachment of the nipple tubes is helped by the tight fitting suits the men are wearing, their nipples are squeezed out through holes to form tingling, sensitive peaks, highly receptive to suction caps. The body fitting rubber also promotes a heightened sense of sexuality in them, an encouragement to produce plentiful, good quality volumes.

The milkers are all wearing dark goggles which conceal from them the mechanistic nature of the extraction, allowing them to fantasise about human stimulation. I suspect this futuristic set up may even include some sort of virtual reality delivered through the goggles and tuned to their individual tastes in J/O material.

The other original feature of this set up is the suspension arrangement. Five straps are attached, one to each of their elbows and ankles with one to the body harness at the back of the neck. This keeps their limbs from interfering with the process while still allowing considerable freedom of movement, not least during orgasm. As a result they remain aware of the proximity of their fellow milkers, promoting an unspoken camaraderie and sense of shared purpose. Their 'uniforms' also contribute to this and lend dignity to the conscripts.  

   
Gorounaoki - Black vs Villain (h-c)

The glass wall enables the chamber to double up as an entertainment exhibit for visitors when the men are 'off-line'. Some guests strip off as they enjoy the vicarious illusion of being drenched by the studs, perhaps imagining that they are responsible for it, but the reality is that, even when disconnected from the collection tubes, the men find it hard to stop producing, much like their bovine equivalents who are become programmed to be milked at a certain time every day. This display chamber produces a significant income stream for the factory and (surprisingly) a steady stream of applicants keen to experience being part of the production line. In fact it's no longer necessary to 'conscript' new beasts when replacements are needed.

See unobstructed variant of this picture

Gorounaoki (or Gorou Naoki) usually provides a comprehensive range of variants of his images featuring the characters in various states of undress but disappointingly he hasn't given us a naked equivalent of the top, 'connected' image as far as I have been able to discover. In his original scenario, the captives are actually four heroes who have been captured by 'Villain', hence their colour coded 'super-hero suits'. They are relentlessly milked to expose their susceptibility to sexual pleasure while their Commander, 'Black', is forced to watch from outside.

More Art by Aizenhower

Read Part 1

Aizenhower - Kristoff Revealed

 I suppose I shouldn't confess to liking 'Frozen' but I was intrigued by the 'male romantic lead' in it, Kristoff. He suffered the laughable fate reserved by movie-makers for male characters - being amiable, strong and dumb but loyal to his mate. It's a negative stereotype that goes strangely unremarked by feminists in the sexism debate. 

Kristoff a la Disney

Disney's official packaging of Kristoff in heavy winter gear is unlikely to stir the senses but Aizenhower extracts and magnifies his sexual presence that simmers, neglected throughout the film. Juxtaposed against his co-stars in the film (top image, above), this first glimpse of him naked is almost as shocking to the viewer as it obviously is to the imaginary heroines. 
The reaction of the coachman at the back is harder to read!


Aizenhower - Kristoff Unveils His Feet

This image stays closer to his film persona - a man inclined to cute boyishness and out of his depth in the sumptuous extravagance of the Palace. This babyish baring of his feet is not in the film. Is it a ploy to alleviate his boredom by attracting the attention of a passing 'footman'? 
Note the hairy legs, this character is a real man.

Aizenhower - Kristoff Bares All

This doesn't actually happen in the film either, 
certainly not with Anna, his romantic counterpart.
It's no surprise to find bulk under his clothing,
though perhaps not as muscular and alluring as this.


Aizenhower - Kristoff's Best Friend

Kristoff's other dumb-male quirk is that his best friend is his reindeer, Sven.
I'm not sure whether this image is an attempt to suggest something more racy
or just a play on the ability of Nordic people to kinkily embrace their climate.
Either way it's a very sexy image.


Aizenhower - Kristoff and a Stabbington Brother

'Frozen' gives Kristoff little in the way of male interest to reciprocate his imagined gay leanings, 
so Aizenhower has transplanted him into the world of 'Tangled' for this fan image.
Here he's paired off with one of The Stabbington Brothers

According to Disney fandom, the Stabbingtons are "are twins with muscular bodies, fair skin, red hair, light blue eyes, big eyebrows, big noses, and big jaws". So far so good but they are also described as brutish thieves, the clue is in the name, I guess. That makes this encounter in a weirdly romantic setting very interesting indeed. 

Feet figure again in this picture here. 
I'm puzzled as to why they are dipped in the sparkling stream, but I can see that it is kinda sexy
Perhaps it's something that happens in 'Tangled', but I haven't seen it. (Honest!)


Aizenhower - The Legend of Korra

In Part 1 of this post I featured a number of Aizenhower's images from his 'The Legend of Korra' series and this is another, with the hapless hero, Bolin, playing top for a change. It's quite a complex image which gives the initial impression of him applying a wrestling 'Nelson' hold to persuade a reluctant partner. Closer inspection reveals a very different sort of restraint, a slightly puzzling one. 
Nevertheless, it's a powerful image of two men coming together in high excitement. 


Aizenhower - The Legend of Korra

The tables are turned on Bolin here, it seems, but I don't think he minds. 
A remarkably energetic and affecting image, considering it doesn't really show very much!


Aizenhower - The Legend of Korra

In Aizehower's world all heroes have to succumb to the villains at some point.
Here the Commander takes his medicine in a very steamy scene.


Aizenhower - Open wide!

Invasive medical inspections are another favoured topic for this artist (see Part 1). 
This one, unusually, is taking place on the floor with the medic astride his subject. It creates a marvellous impression of a reluctant patient being firmly treated by a very determined medic. 
The patient's erotic response seems to be the root of the problem and it's clearly an embarrassment.  
The medic can hardly fail to be aware of it, he appears to be enjoying every minute.

These two also featured in a spanking image in Part 1
they are protagonists who become friends in an animated film 'Yu Yu Hakusho'.

Aizenhower - Cowboy Bebop


This images features two characters, Jet Black and Spike Spiegel, who are the captain and crew of the spaceship Bebop (from Cowboy Bebop which was a controversial Japanese, TV, animated series about space bounty hunters). 

Aizenhower shows them in what seems to be a seduction, sensitively handled by Jet, the older man. Although there's a striking inter-generational gap, Spike is actually 27 years old in the context of the story - and straight! As a bounty hunter he ought to be well able to stand up for himself,  but the boredom of being cooped up on those long space flights can do things to the toughest of men.


Aizenhower - Rugby Coach

I featured another rugby cartoon by Aizenhower in Part 1. This character is less stylised and captures the sexy credentials of the Rugby sporting stereotype very well. We are presented with physical bulk (great pecs!), square-jawed manliness and a devil-may-care persona for which mooning holds no fears. How these men love to tease us! But who knows what desires lurk inside the brain of this brawny beast?


Aizenhower - Space Dandy

Aizenhower's 'Space Dandy' is a trifle too eccentric for my personal taste, but he does possess one characteristic that I would never ignore - a great ass! What's that saying about the fire and the mantlepiece? In this image it seems like a space alien has also spotted the same attraction via some sort of spying device.




Aizenhower - Space Dandy


      This picture shows the Dandy to have a pretty good physique too, but it's still put in the shade by his backside. It's amazing how the addition of two faint highlights can enhance it's shape and the allure and suggest tight, stretchy fabric at the same time. An interesting demonstration of the power of the humble cartoon (and the gay mind!)

First Catch Your Rogue - 25



 He wasn't a very good burglar.
I'm a light sleeper, but he made enough noise to wake the dead.
He didn't put up much of a fight either, I'm a big guy.
I got him securely tied up without too many problems.

To give him credit, he didn't beg me not to call the cops. 
But we both knew that was the deal on the table.
I emptied his pockets and poked around in them
giving him a clue to how he might escape my trap.

He wasn't too happy though when I started to cut his clothes off.
The only way, since his arms and legs were tied together.
He started mouthing off about how much they had cost him.
More likely he had stolen them, so I just gagged him.

He was a street-wise punk, in his mid-twenties, 
But the harsh strangeness of the fetish gag shocked him. 
The hard ball filling his mouth, the strap pulling it tight.
He knew then that negotiations were over.

I watched him squirming naked on my bed for a while,
then fetched a razor from the bathroom, a new one
I set to work clearing the fuzz on his lower regions.
I don't use foam, I like to see what I'm doing.

He squawked briefly, but knew better than to struggle,
not while I was working with the blade between his legs.
He watched me, probably wondering how to explain it
to his girlfriend and team mates in the locker room.

I cleaned away the fallen fluff with the vacuum cleaner.
Lifting his legs and teasing him with the suction tool
Then I fetched some ointments to sooth his razor burn.
And then he was finally ready for me.

I fetched my camera.
