Postscript to the swimming trunks series

 

Boundex has kindly sent me this take on Speedo Bondage for men. I think the backside in the foreground is a very sexy touch. It must be in line for the implements leaning against the wall since access to his sweating buddy is restricted for the immediate future. Buddies 'getting it' together is a favourite theme of mine and will feature in this blog eventually. 

You can see more of Boundex's work at Deviant Art but his web site http://www.boundex.net/ has gone.

 He also featured in my A-Z of fetish art earlier this year.

In Praise of Swimming Trunks - 8 - Swimmers at Immigration Control

Swimmers in Mitchell's Art

Swimmers in my pictures are quite rare despite my love of the form.
Only two of my pictures published to date have this theme
 although the Bondage Furniture picture No 1  could be a swimmer.
 (published at Mitchells Yahoo! Group - see side bar)
There will be more in the future though.

Travelling in swimming trunks was a mistake !

There's always food for thought in swimming trunks.

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?.............

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.......
