Beautifully Spanked - Will Savage 2 (fem-dom alert!)

In my last post we left Will Savage tied to a table and preparing for a pasting.



This is it Will, the gulp moment!

 Whilst I have zero sexual interest in women I do like to see men being dominated by them.
that's provided that it's focused on the man's sexuality and doesn't overtly involve theirs.
The image below meets that criterion precisely (notwithstanding their bizarre attire!)


The distancing of the audience here creates a sense of power over the captive and an air of anticipation, not so much about 'what' is to happen next - Will's posture and bruising tells us that - but more about 'when' and 'how' it will happen.
 
This is a fairly unusual spanking arrangement, one that implies minimal physical contact between participants (thank goodness). It forces Will into a nice, cringing position. But for me there's a stronger reason for including this picture and that is the arrangement of Will's feet which look beautiful to me, although it's not usually a special fetish of mine. 

The crossing of his feet creates a fidgety look as though he's uncomfortable with the waiting. They may have been placed like this by his tormentors, in this position it would be quite hard to untangle them.

 

 In the story Will's employer spanks him just to see if she can. 
Will's resentful submission and the harness he has been tied into seems to epitomise humiliation.

There's an implication in femdom images that the man (as a character) is straight (real life of course is not always that simple). I imagine most gays growing up become fixated on a straight man at some point and learn a painful life-lesson as a result. In harsher times 'straight' defined maleness and part of me still imagines they have magical, desirable masculine qualities despite all the evidence to the contrary. Evidence which also inspires this 'Houseboy' storyline i suppose! Whatever the reason there's a special pleasure in seeing them humiliated by a woman.

Will plays the submissive role so beautifully that I couldn't leave out this picture

Images from 'Houseboy'

 

In this story Caroline and Amelia hire a spanking strippergram to visit them at home.
They are stunned when it turns out to be Amelia's boyfriend Will, who arrives dressed as a Soldier.  


Will looks great grovelling on the white sheets to receive his punishment for not telling.

 

Will the footman has been enlisted by the daughters of the house to deliver unofficial, dinner party invitations to interesting young men, but he is intercepted by the Governess and punished along with the daughters. It looks as if these were possibly all shot on the same day. Ouch!

In 'Spy' a captured spy, Will, is bound and interrogated by female 'agents'. 
Black underpants are authentically male and make for a nice preliminary.



One of the agents is suspected of fraternising with him, so when he resists the persuasive spanking, both are bound, interrogated and beaten. 
If he won't talk to save his own skin, he might do so, to save that of his lover. 
........or perhaps a bare bottom paddling might do the trick

Beautifully Bound - Will Savage 1


 Will Savage has the sort of body I love, voluptuously muscled but not overly 'ripped'.
This creates the delicious, softer look you see here.


 He has the face of a mischievous elfin and his facial hair is light and youthful looking.
But something about those sleepy eyes makes it easy to imagine him as a bad boy.
Caught and totally immobilised he anxiously awaits his captor's pleasure,
knowing that a doubled-back leg tie as tight as this will soon become painful.


There's something about a man contemplating the ropes that bind him that is extremely erotic.
The chest harness helps to anchor his arms and wrists but visually suggests severe restraint.
It cuts into his pecs, plumping them up for us, emphasising their tightness for him.
The neck loop/collar element conjures up even more intimidating possibilities. 


Will has plenty of time to contemplate his fate in a room that looks cold and bare.
It's bleak cleanliness suggests his captor is focused and efficient.


That's nice, but oh to be able to stretch those legs.

You may have spotted by now that these images come from a spanking website
 but it's one with a feminine flavour, so if you haven't the stomach for such things look away now! 
The rest of you should proceed, excitedly, to the next post


This is it Will, the gulp moment!

The Art of Vern Dufford


 Sombre tones and images expressive of loneliness and despair define this marvellous group of  pictures from Vern Dufford. In this example the bright horizon brings an element of hope.

The depiction of a man's relationship with an expansive landscape recalls the pictures of Caspar David Friedrich but as far as I know he never used nudes. His theme was the mystery of God and creation, Dufford's mystery lies closer to home I suspect, but may amount to much the same thing if we're being philosophical about it!


We can probably guess the contents of this letter. The use of nudity here expresses the emotional vulnerability of the recipient. The subtlety of his sagging figure (which is well observed) redeems the slightly heavy-handed symbolism of the darkened, empty room behind him, representing what his world has suddenly become.
Thankfully there's an optimistic bright spot on the horizon, but he hasn't seen it yet.
The colours of this example seem to have been brightened 


It's darkest before the dawn, so the saying goes, but that's never offered much consolation to anyone stuck at that low point. I don't know if those Dali-like cracks on the man's head are part of the picture or a fault in the photo but they seem quite appropriate. The use of light and shade in these seemingly simple pictures is terrific.

 

In contrast to the gloomy 'Letter' series, this image of a man trying to control his vessel as it runs before the storm in menacing seas is full of positivity. It's nicely expressed by his leaning-forward pose, going with the vessel rather than trying restrain it. That's probably not good seamanship but it works artistically. Notice that much of the brightness is behind him, but he is still going forward determinedly into storm where the clouds ahead are tinged with encouraging light.

Notice how the artist presents him turned towards us, showing frontal nudity. This seems to assert his masculinity and taking control of the situation. Reversing the positioning of the two legs to show his backside would be more modest, but would create a different sense of turning away from the challenge or lack of control.
Voyager Series
This image with it's suggestion of bondage in the rope-wound body is a natural for this blog
It adds the element of entanglement to this marine saga of tormented emotions.

All these images have a flavour of Art Deco in the simplicity of the figures and the smooth facial features but in this case, the shape of the clouds top left is very typical of that style.


The waters are calmer here but the excitement of the storm is succeeded by weariness and maybe a feeling of despair. The entanglement seems to remain as a restriction even though the slackened rope suggests the moment of crisis has passed. Interesting psychology!


Adrift 2

This image from the same series also has interesting features,
there's a commentary at the mitchmen gateway blog (in post dated March 1st 2019)

Vern Dufford paints in a variety of styles but this group is particularly eye catching.
The subject matter is somewhat gloomy but thoughtful and reflects an aspect of (gay) life that we all experience at some point in our lives. The deco styling is a unifying influence that will appeal to many of our brethren!

I haven't a website for Vern Dufford but you'll find traces of his art sales if you search on his name.

Mitchell's Fetish Art for March - Pyjama Party

Mitchell - Night Visitor - Pyjama Party
Steve grunted as the mysterious intruder squeezed his nipple again.
The stranger was teasing him, skillfully transitioning the pressure
 from the realms of warm pleasure to sharp pain, and then back again.

The burly workman had been seized from slumber as his pyjamas were stripped off.
Before he could resist, his limbs had been folded and secured with wound bandages,
putting him into a baby-like helplessness he had never even imagined for himself.

More bandage wrapped tightly round his scrotum had erotically primed him. 
Now he nestled against his captor's warm body, held firmly by neck and nipple
 bewildered and squirming, turned on and off, becoming rock hard.

~

The Night Visitor has near-magical powers of calming his 'victims'
who always succumb without coercion and never make a noise.
If there are any other occupants of the house they never disturb them
Though they may get the task of freeing the victim in the morning.

Modern Gay Art - Studies in masculinity

Male Art by Joe Hendry
This image by Joe Hendry would go straight into my 'bareass blogs' if it were a photo.
The cheeky exposure below everyday clothing is exactly what I wanted to showcase in that series.
As an artwork it's not exactly living room wall material, given the hint of rude functions in progress.
Actually it's more than a hint if you consider the shadow shapes and choice of colours.
Having said that, it is an appealing palette and the composition is both striking and nicely balanced.


Deyneka - soldiers showering
 This image by Deyneka is equally daring but in a different way.
The nude study in the foreground is quite academic, but more sensual than most of that ilk.
It's what the dreamer is looking at, that gives it edge - a row of young, army conscripts showering.

So what? you might say, but this artist is from Russia.
With this picture he is proclaiming an unwelcome message to that country's rulers,
 that gay attaction exists and that gay men are manly.

At the same time he tellingly portrays the sense of exclusion and isolation.
You sense he has been been brooding head down until the laughing boys caught his attention.
It's something we all experience to some extent, but less than those under oppressive regimes.

Another Russian Artist is featured in The Art of Ivan Bubentkov 
Support them by viewing their work, see what they have to say. 

 Joseph Radoccia - Nude
We don't know this man's sexual orientation but we can see he's full of attitude and a maybe little unsure of himself. I think anyone asked to pose naked with a bowl of fruit is entitled to feel a bit nervous, but the colours the artist has surrounded him by make him look terrific. Although this is an explicit nude it's pretty inoffensive, that aspect of the picture is overwhelmed by the sheer character of the burly sitter which booms out of the picture and I have no doubt will win many fans amongst my audience.
  
 
Julie Bell - Serpent
The sense of manly power is strongest of all in this image and the chains and entwined serpent add a powerful fetish flavour. It's surprising to see a woman artist subscribing to the heavy muscle school of masculinity so enthusiastically, even if she is a fantasy specialist. The glimpse of face is a more feminine perception but it sits uneasily atop that maxed-up body.
 The colours and photo-realism are equally exaggerated. 

I like the look of big men but this the least appealing image of this group for me

Little Known Incidents of WWII (No 10) - Useful Weapons

Adapted by Mitchell from War Picture Library No 667 - 'The Price Of Victory'
This image plays on the special relationship between a soldier and his Sergeant 
(something was there in the gunner's wicked eyes before I captioned it!)

It seems tank turrets are a veritably cauldron for homoerotic feelings!
