Bound Gods Favourites - 6

Little + Large

Bound Gods productions often depict super-muscular heavyweights knocking seven bells out of weedy looking (relatively!) subs. It's not a scenario that hits my buttons, by and large, I prefer a more equal contest less suggestive of men hitting boys. However the imagery from this encounter between Spencer Reed and Zack Alexander (probably better known for more conventional porn) is full of little gems despite Zach's exceptionally boyish face playing up to the stereotype.

The storyline is set in a bar where Zach strikes up a conversation with Reed, a plausible looking barman, and persuades him to give a bondage demonstration - rather less plausible.

Anyway Spencer soon has Zach stripped off and is burrowing in his pants, I love to see underwear in these films and this image is a good example but inevitably it's appearance is all too brief(!) Zach's slender body looks great here.There's a sense of the size mismatch between the two characters but it doesn't prepare you for the next picture.

This image is just wonderful as beefy Spencer towers (teeters almost!) over the kneeling Zach, like an ogre in a fairytale taunting his normal-sized captive. The fact that the camera angle flatters the size of the man in the foreground makes it all the more impressive. Zach looks suitably intimidated - as well he might. He's held in nice economical bondage here. Spencer's state of partial undress (hooray for clothes!) tells you what is about to happen next, fortunately for Zach some body parts are less amenable to bulking up than pecs and biceps!

As the bondage lesson gets going there's another super 'little and large' moment, Spencer appears to grow even bigger with his clothing removed, Zach has a decent body but is hopelessly dwarfed.

The one-legged bondage position shown here is a Bound Gods favourite. In Japanese rope bondage it's a torture in it's own right forcing the victim to balance his entire body weight on one leg for so long that it becomes excruciatingly painful, meanwhile the other leg is bent right back (tighter into the back of the thigh than here) in an position so unnatural that it also becomes unbearable as time passes (and is ultimately crippling). 

In this faster moving scenario, clearly neither fate is going to befall Zach, with his slight build it would be much less effective and doesn't produce interesting bunched up thigh muscles either so I'm not sure that it works that well here. However, this cheek squeezing moment is a beautifully simple expression of condescending dominance with the victim helplessly immobilised.

Eventually Zach ends up stretched across the bar top with legs 

held open so that Spencer can insert a ball hook. 

Zach acts his socks off (!) wincing with the unpleasantness of the forced entry, 

his bare feet waving in the air are a visual treat.

Zach squirms on the bar top as Spencer forces the steel implement deep inside him, 

rewarding us with a beautiful view of his abs,

 all tensed up as testimony to the physical struggle taking place. 

Not massive in size, maybe, but beautifully defined. 

His clenching feet convey the discomfort of the penetration he feels. 

A fitting finale.

Last Word on the 'Beanie'

Lee John by Gilles Crofta

I actually like this look but I'm not sure if it is because of the hat or despite it!

Maybe it's the chains!

Lee John would make any clothing look good - but then again......

Maybe not!

Fab Abs though.

Ministry of Silly Hats - 2 Continued!

Having said my piece on the beanie and Chaz (2 posts back), here it comes again this time sitting on the head of Trent Davies - I'm starting to feel outnumbered here!

Like Chaz, Trent's combo today also includes fetish gear and he looks pretty awkward (not to say camp!) about being asked to wear it.

It's like a student lost in the woods has stumbled across the three bears playhouse and decides to try their things on.

This picture from the same set reveals that Trent sports a neat college boy haircut. Still somewhat at odds with the fetish theme but altogether more attractive. In my book, the knowing, catwalk-style posing devalues these pictures as erotica. But I acknowledge the ironic humour, it's a free country.

Pictures from Freshmen magazine which has now ceased publication I'm afraid.

Bound Gods Favourites - 5

This post features another recent release in which two buddies are watching TV in their flat when an intruder bursts in and takes them captive. Bound Gods is great when it gets away from the dungeon.

The two actors Brian Bond and DJ (nearest) look just like two ordinary, straight guys doing ordinary things - no muscle gods here. The bond between close friends is very special and very powerful of course (whatever the sexual orientation) and that's what makes this story special. It can be a source of envy, but this rarely leads to it being tested in a physical way.

The intruder takes the boys captive after cutting the electricity and proceeds to remove both men's clothes. Brian is tied to a chair while DJ is forced nuzzle his underwear, then to suck him off. Equally humiliating for both of them of course. This image with Brian sitting, legs spread wide and grimacing helplessly as his nipple is being tweaked is very striking, the highlight of the set. The buddies are both the instrument and witness of each others humiliation. Brian's impressive erection is mandatory of course but suggests another layer of embarrassment for him.

Brian is temporarily consigned to the bathroom while the intruder works on his buddy. For the friends, separation and isolation is just as bad as joint humiliation. It's a nice twist. This picture, where he is dragged back to the living room (having been primed for action you will note) is another great picture. Once again the simplicity of the bondage enhances the captive's body - and emphasises his complete nudity.

In the final excerpt the straight boy's humiliation is rammed home by a collar and chain, which he can see in the mirror. It's symbolic rather than a real restraint (and mundane in a way), but doubly telling in this straight domestic environment. Great story.

Ministry of Silly Hats - 2 The Beany

Chaz by Randy Blue
Don't get me wrong, I think the 'beanie' hat can look very sexy, perched on the back of the head.
But I'm not sure it really 'goes' with leather apparel.

I'm afraid the 'pulled down' look is probably best left to pensioners
out doing their shopping on a cold day.

Without the hat Chaz looks much more masculine.
There's no need to distract attention from his basic assets.
He's good looking in an understated, guy next door sort of way which is very desirable.
He also has a marvellous fleshy, chunky body and an endowment to match.
I'm planning a more flattering post for Chaz soon.

4 Bandaged Legs
 .

This post showcases Dominic Pacifico whose supple body has featured in some fantastic Bound Gods images. I could have chosen a number of moments from his films, but this fairly recent one is most memorable for the leg bondage employed.

I love to see the models wearing clothes because they enhance the body. 
Dominic's jeans really show off his thighs - which are soon to become a focus of attention.

The 'doubled-back leg' form of bondage in which each ankle is secured to the back of the thigh is very photogenic. The position naturally causes the thigh (and calf muscles) to bulk up and the ties draw attention to this, so it looks nice. It also disables the prisoner in a very obvious way. 

This original variation, in which dark bandages are wound round the entire doubled-back limb, including the foot, magnifies both these effects. Dominic's legs are rigidly fixed in an un-natural position, a recipe for intense pain if the restraint is prolonged. The dark bindings somehow conjure up all sorts of associations - the middle east, female dress, medicine even, a heady brew!

I like the idea of the captor spending time over preparing his victim, so that he looks attractive and erotic for his punishment. It shows a sort of appreciation of him as well as demonstrating absolute control.

 Job done, Tyler Saint can savour his prisoner's manly qualities.

From the front the 'disabling' effect is even more striking and slightly shocking, flirting as does it with amputation imagery. The dark bandages perform the same visual function as waders (and stockings!) do, drawing attention to Dominic's thighs and unprotected, dangling cock. Forcing him to balance on his knees like this reminds him of the limits of respect for prisoners, it's another Bound Gods trademark.

Dominic's wrists are loosely restrained and this makes his balancing position doubly precarious. It produces the exciting sight of the victim trying to keep from toppling under the onslaught of lashes. I love the tension in Dominic's arching body and the spreadeagled legs. Of course his efforts only serve to keep him in the firing line and present a more exposed and inviting target, which Tyler attacks with gusto. As always the models contrive to make it look painfully real.

3 Cop Caught Out

In this choice from my favourite Bound Gods moments, it's not the props that make the impact but the simplest of bondage and punishment combined with good casting and a nice twisted story line. The 'Creepy Janitor' who stalks and abducts college jocks has been a recurring theme at Bound Gods right from the start. Brenn Wyson currently plays the creepy part and he can certainly look scary.

In this film, his secret is discovered by a young cop, played by an actor known only as 'Ned', whose blond hair and clean cut looks create an impression of youthful professional integrity and enthusiasm which, naturally enough, the evil janitor mocks. However, this cop turns out be more steely than he looks and in his search for the truth, strings Wyson up for interrogation.

This image with Wyson stripped naked and balancing on a block is unspectacular but I love it. In the context of the story, vulnerability is the wrong word to use, although there's a hint of the noose about this construct. Wyson's nudity and exposure is brought out strongly by the precarious position, the tight upper body restraint and the fact that Officer Ned is still in full uniform. This lashing is a prelude to an improbable sequence of complicated tortures and sex, but there's a great twist as Wyson eventually escapes and turns the tables.

Now it's the young Cop's turn to be stripped and he is stretched out in a hanging position that produces a beautiful arching of his body, a classic back-stress position which will become increasingly painful with the passage of time and showcases his pert buttocks.
Wyson ruffles his hair mockingly.

Ned's dangling equipment is soon taken in hand, to be tweaked and abused. 
The directness and intimacy of this torture is very powerful and the result written all over Ned's face. Wyson's vindictive pleasure at his captive's helpless agony is hammy but right in character
 - and don't his muscular arms look great!

Officer Ned goes on to get the lashing he deserves. 
Bound Gods have a knack for making it look real and Wyson certainly puts his back into the job. Great sequence.

Luke In The Can

Mitchell - Luke in the Can

A picture destined for a series called 'The Lost Patrol'.
This is intended to be a major story and has been taking shape in my mind for many years, but so far I've only finished a few drawings with rather more sketches. Here we see Luke, one of the members of the patrol, being punished. He's locked inside a small metal cell, exposed to the searing heat of the sun.

2. Medical Assessment 

Jeof Pierson plays a fresh faced recruit, straight out of basic training, undergoing an Army Physical for Special Service. Hes is subjected to a series of painful tests by Dr Nick Moretti. Joel is perfect for this, a picture of youthful innocence, he is by turns puzzled, bewildered, then horrified as the tests escalate in an increasingly intrusive and painful way.

In this segment, he is strapped to a birthing chair which is quite often used in gay medical scenarios, but it works really well here. With Jeof's wrists strapped back at shoulder level and legs held wide open, it's totally humiliating already and he shows his dismay beautifully as Nick grinds a three-ball, hook dildo inside him, coaxing him into a terrific glistening erection.

The dildo is replaced by a butt plug, wired up to transmit electrical impulses. Dr Nick fiddles ostentatiously with the controls, selecting the programme and intensity levels while Jeof watches him closely, his face a picture of questioning, dread and pleading. Then the realisation that something is beginning to happen down there and it's not very nice. There's a nice shot of Nick's chest in this picture, I'd have liked him to keep his trousers on for this scene as a sop to authenticity, but I guess it is a porn film!

Dr Nick is still not satisfied and now produces a wand to administer shocks to the poor private's inner thighs making him writhe and dance with pain. A terrific performance by Joel, it really looks like it is hurting and the butt plug looks great nestling between his wide-open cheeks. 

This scene is bookended by a mummification (which looks better in the video than the stills) and a 'suspend and thrash' scene which is a relatively ordinary. A disappointing ending unless you've got into Jeof's plight.

1 The Water Tank

Rusty Stevens appears as Derek Diamond's 'lab rat' 

struggling under water, he's naked and tightly bound, hand and foot.

The water tank is one of Bound Gods simpler but scarier props 

With the help of clever lighting it produces fantastic immersion images.

These amazing pictures are not just about danger and helplessness, there's also something highly erotic about viewing a nude body immersed in water. Rusty's a great looking subject and, for added effect, his heroic build is restrained in a mesh of complex ropework, I love the look of natural fibre ropes but of course they will tighten up in water making them - and the lethal predicament - almost impossible to escape. For me this type of bondage is more erotic than the captive being tied to an object like a chair or spread between posts.

The tank as a container suggests a second layer of captivity, like a cage or display case. Unfortunately, there's not a lot more you can do with it and I imagine there are not many models able to cope with this situation as well as Rusty does so we probably won't be seeing it used too often.

A Tribute To Bound Gods

Alex Lemonde as a Cop tied in shirt and jockstrap

It was in 2004 that 'Bondo Gods' first appeared with high quality images 
showing muscular, good looking men all tightly tied up with ropes in the Japanese style.

Bruce Marasco Tied Naked To A Chair

These images and films certainly made a great impact on me then and their work continues to inspire me now. It amazes me how Van Darkholme continues to come up with original, sexy imagery.

I don't plan to become one of those blogs that constantly post from Bound Gods but I would like to pay tribute to the prolific creativity of Mr Van Darkholme by posting a small selection of my favourite inspiring scenarios from the site.

Ministry of Silly Hats - 1 The Commodore

Ales Hanak in Maritime Gear

Oh dear! I'm all for humiliation scenarios, but only if the victim ends up looking sexy.
This isn't even a proper naval cap.

The picture below, from the same series (courtesy of Freshmen magazine)
 is at the other end of the scale.
Ales looks bemused at being asked to plant himself in a bunch of daisies.
As well he might, it's not exactly a setting redolent of masculinity is it?

Humiliation? Tick!
Sexy? Tick!

Ales Hanak in the Daisies

But, the resulting picture captures a marvellous combination of boyish bashful charm and the physique of a young adult. It's visually interesting too - that swirl of daisies is like a bow wave, seemingly cradling, supporting Ales body.

Pictures like this fire my imagination. You'd have thought this was a million miles from fetish but just imagine the daisies as an alien anemone engulfing the careless hiker - or the unsuspecting model!

Mitchell - The Whipping of Squaddie Steve

Mitchell - The Sting Of The Whip

This is a picture from my story, 'Squaddie Steve', it's a scene where Steve is severely tested by the evil Sergeant Tarrant in the Regimental Chapel. The full story with illustrations can be downloaded (free of charge!) as a PDF from my Yahoo! Group - see sidebar to join. My military punishment images of course owe a lot to Royale Studio's and 'Guys in Uniform' pictures from the 60's and 70's but more recently inspiration has flowed freely from the Bound Gods studio.

Tom Of Finland - Tailors and Hidden Eroticism

In my review of Royale Studio's Soldier-Sailor set, picture 11, I remarked how Tom of Finland used the 'man and his kneeling dresser' theme in pictures produced about the same time. The picture I was thinking of is shown below, it was produced in 1959.

Tom of Finland - At The Tailor's

.

Inside leg measurement is a classic subject for corny innuendo, Tom's young tailor has a good fistful at the top end of the tape but the young man seems completely oblivious of it. Like Royale, Tom plays down the erotic intent. But this picture is relevant to Royale in another way, as it also contains disguised sexual content like Royale's pictures did. If you don't know the piece already, look at the image on the back cover of the fat man's magazine and you will discover exactly what he thinks of the young man being fitted out. I can't recall any other picture by Tom that has a hidden explicit message like this - but perhaps I've just not spotted them yet. 

 .

Tom of Finland - Fine Adjustments

  .

The second 'dresser' picture is from 1963 and, together with the previous picture from 1959, brackets the Royale era quite neatly. This time it's a modelling theme and exploits the idea of a hunk being 'adjusted' by a lesser mortal. Tom uses the clothing in a much more adventurous way. The G-string is extremely revealing and its unconventional strap, made from chain, plunges down between the model's buttocks, creating a sexy rearview which even today gives a bit of a jolt. Note how Tom uses the mirror in exactly the same way as Royale did to provide this second viewpoint. The dresser's adjustments are less intimate this time, but as he bends in his ever-so-tight jeans, his backside seems to have caught the hunky model's eye.

.

Tom of Finland - Measuring Up

 

Picture 3 is less well known, a locker room scene whose date I can't discover, but the frontal nudity fixes it later. The fashion looks circa 1970. This picture captures the 'kneeling dresser' pose in classic form and the drawing of this particular young man is rather nice. Tom used submissive kneeling quite a lot around this time in a variety of situations. In the best ones, like 'the careless motorcyclist', the victim is being forced down.

 

This image is a curious mixture of the explicit and the coy. The spectator's cock is rather substantial but points downwards - at one point in the crazy world of censorship this was a genuine yardstick of acceptability. It doesn't really add a lot to the picture but did represent a statement of liberation to it's audience at the time.

 

The proximity of the dresser's face to the jocks equipment is another fairly obvious erotic feature, but what exactly is the dresser measuring? Inches count in this area! What is he doing with his hidden left hand? Probably up to no good judging by the various facial expressions.

The tape measure is quite a useful accessory here, visually highlighting the jocks backside and providing a sense of his being temporarily captured while his 'vital statistics' are assessed.

I have a recollection that there is another picture by Tom on this theme but I haven't been able to find it. It shows a kneeling shop assistant assisting a young man into a very revealing new outfit but in this picture the assistant is very obviously embarrassed. If anyone can help with this, please get in touch with me via the comments feature or the e-mail link on my profile.

Men Sharing Clothes 8 - Brothers Spanked in Underwear

In previous items in this series I played with the idea of models unwittingly or knowingly sharing clothes worn by another man. This group from Captured Guys gets 2 brothers, Hunter and Zack, to pose in the same underwear for bondage and then spanking.

 

 

Hunter gets to go first. The Hanes briefs don't seem to be a very good fit, maybe they belong to his brother, which would explain why he looks so unhappy wearing them. Sisters are noted for swapping clothes, but not brothers. Not like this. Fortunately, once he's bent over the looseness in the pants disappears and he is about to be given other things to think about. In fact, I think he is already thinking about it!

Hunter spanked at 'Captured Guys'

 ~

 

Now brother Zack gets put his privates into the pouch warmed by his brother's gear - and by the spanker's hand behind of course.

He seems quite resigned to his fate, but let's face it, that tape gag means business. Underneath his mouth is wide open and stuffed with something you'd rather not have in there. Still, at least it's not his brother's pants.

Zack spanked at 'Captured Guys'

The boy's are sharing the same spanker's hand as well!

Finally here are the two boys presenting their results so we can compare them. They seem to have got off quite lightly this time.

Two for the family album.

Royale Studios 17 - The Soldier-Sailor Set (FJSS) - 9

The FJSS series of 21 pictures reviewed in previous articles covers a lot of ground and it feels as though there must have been many more images produced during the shoot. Maybe they were discarded for reasons of quality or content. Perhaps they were simply kept back for lack of publication space. It's tantalising to think there might be some around today.

Fred Collins (L) and John Skilling (R) Wrestling by Royale Studio

In modern times we expect a series of pictures to end with the men naked and grappling with each other, but the best I can do is to add this one of John and Fred wrestling, not quite nude but nearly. Geeks like me will notice the Royale code FJWR = Fred-John-WRestling.

Fred Collins and Tibor Urgay by Royale Studio

This picture (right) of Fred from a set with Tibor Urgay shows Royale could do upper body shots - and what a body Fred has! We barely glimpsed it in the FJSS set. I suspect the demands of creating special 'hidden' erotic effects with shadows got in the way of highlighting muscularity. Or perhaps the uniforms were thought sufficient by themselves. By the way, I suspect the G-strings here have been 'sanitised' .

John Skilling by Royale Studio 

Here is John Skilling, truly naked and lying on the same wrestling mat as picture 1 above. It's a classic 50's/60's glamour pose, but rather risque without clothes on. 
He looks very cute and urchin-like with those dirty feet. 
.

John Skilling, nude by Royale Studio 

Finally another picture of John nude, more classically posed for safety,
but showing off his 'wasp' waist and succulent bottom extremely well.

These pictures give us a glimpse of what is missing from the uniform sets.

I would love to see them recreated by a skilled modern photographer
unfettered by constraints on nudity and eroticism.
