In Praise of Swimming Trunks - 6

Swimming trunks (unlike underwear which is essentially the same garment) can be worn in public though only in designated places.
Consequently when transferred to more intimate locations the same garments can create a most electric effect!
They also label the (suitable) wearer as athletic and fit.
No ordinary boy awaits us here.......

and who has not fantasised about subduing
and carrying off that arrogant young man from the beach?.............

.............To struggle and await our attention in a more private place

In Praise of Swimming Trunks - 5

The back view is always a favourite for 'mitchmen' and for us the modern low rise design provides much to admire.

.

But it must be said that the inherent tightness of swimming trunks can be problematic. If you want to fantasise about access - this one gives short shrift. But at least the bubbles are firmly contained - perhaps ready for punishment.

And the big boys can show their rear view to advantage as well

In Praise of ........Swimming Trunks - 3



Competition Swimming Trunks are designed to contain and smooth out undulations underneath offering minimal resistance. Fortunately the male figure can overcome this constraint - even in competition designs. This picture needs very little explanation - the garment, the wearer and the athletic pose say it all. A sporting hero, masculine - and sexy - and apparently offering up his body - 'mitchmen' style.

In Praise Of.........Swimming Trunks - 2

In part 1 of this series I expressed the view that Jock Straps should really be reserved for big men to wear. But it is equally my belief that Swimming Trunks (or Speedos) should be the preserve of more slender men.
1 and 2 below are both terrific looking men but those trunks don't enhance their appeal. It looks too much like your Dad! (Of course I acknowledge that for some this is very desirable indeed!)
The garments look large and very chaste, tightly held in place and pulled up at the sides as though insufficient for modesty. For some reason they just don't complement the muscular body shape.



Compare the slim guy look below - he's not showing much but the way the trunks sit on his body is so sexy . The waist actually sits fairly high compared with our muscular guys but the square horizontal line emphasises his narrow hips and makes the trunks look as though they are not quite properly in place - and could be very easily taken off.

To be continued.......

In Praise of..... Swimming Trunks - 1

In days gone by swimming trunks were bulky items in thick material with high waists seemingly designed to obscure all hint of sexual interest.
That could be circumvented of course for photographic purposes but not in public.

Now-a-days trunks are much more interesting with skimpy cuts and flimsy fabric intended to promote speedy performance in the pool. By a happy coincidence these same requirements provide 'man fans' with tantalising glimpses of bulges (3) ...........

...........and shaved stomachs (4).

It takes little effort to conjure up 'mitchmen' style fantasies of these young athletes helping each other with their intimate preparations for competition.
Or perhaps their older coaches do the job for them.

The Captured Swimmer by Mitchell (Tight Bondage)

Mitchell - Angry in Speedos
This picture called 'Angry in Speedos' is one of my latest pubications.
It's tight (very tight!) Speedo Bondage in a similar vein to my masthead picture:
'My Dishonest Gardener'

I spent some time on depicting the young swimmer's face
so it would seem individual and real and not just a caricature.

This topic leads into my next posting which is to be the second in my series of articles labelled
'In Praise Of......'. The first one covered Jock Straps and their natural home (in my opinion!) on 'big men' The second is to be about Swimming Trunks.

Mitchell's A to Z of Fetish Artists - Top Choice for letter 'C'

Choosing my favourite artist for the letter 'C' is another tricky one. Of my short list discussed over the last few days, Cavelo covers the broadest range of fetish topics. But as I have explained, his style just doesn't work for me and style is a major criterion for my favourites. Copper and 'C' are focussed on spanking which is fine but leaves me wanting more. Most of Chooi's output that I have seen does not depict fetish topics explicitly although there is a nice little selection of male bondage art. Which leaves me with Chris - I like his style, I like his men - the only thing that makes me hesitate is that his work mostly hints at fetish themes rather than depicting them. But on balance Chris has to be my choice and so joins Amir and Brick in my personal fetish hall of fame.
