Muscle and Rope 12

Today's pictures have a military flavour. Prisoners of war not being treated well.

The first muscular specimen isn't tightly tied but he is big and that's enough to get the imagination going! The exposure of flesh to rope as his shirt is pulled aside gives a nice frisson as does the waistband of his undershorts peeking out between peeled back trouser flies.

I don't have an attribution for this picture or the one below.

This young POW is tightly tied around his generous pecs and his captors have been ripping away his clothes. Standing against the wall blindfolded and with head tilted back he seems to be in serious danger here.



I stumbled across the second picture recently* although it looks as though it's been around for a while. It has the look of 'Bound and Gagged'. The first picture is not of UK or US origin, it could be BDman Brazil.

*at Naughty Charlies Blog which is full of interesting fetish pictures 
including lots of old favourites and many I hadn't seen before.

Muscle and Rope - 11

Two black and white pictures today continue the focus on rope art.

Picture 1 is from the excellent but now defunct publication 'Bound and Gagged'.

This man is muscular but with a lean frame. The cap and unruly hair suggest the subject is a real working man not a professional model. The ropework is a bit casual but the loop around the neck loop is more sinister. The subjects kneeling pose and bowed head tell us that he has surrendered to his fate.

 

I don't have an attribution for the second picture but see comment below. The black and white treatment accentuates the drama of the tautly posed subject. The ropes accentuate his back muscles instead of his pecs as in my previous pictures. This really looks like restraint!

Muscle and Rope - 10

Today a selection of images from the Bondo Gods films.

There's a sporting theme here again with tracksuits and jockstraps in evidence although those of you who have seen the films will know that they are somewhat abstract in nature, dwelling on the artistry of bondage rather than telling stories. This slant comes through in the first image.

.Part of the artistry is in the shaping and complexity of the actual ropework, accentuating as it does interesting body features which is what this little series of mine celebrates. The picture below will excite all devotees of the male rear and the interplay of the black rope and white jockstrap is nice

.

But the art of bondage is about much more. The sight of a man wrestling with his bonds of course, the sense of restraint and struggle in the picture below is quite strong.

But the noose-like formation which holds this man's arms in a flexed position hints at the more sinister purpose of art-bondage. To hold the limbs of the body in un-natural positions for long periods creates stress and pain without the captor having to do anything. This is why Japanese bondage sometimes shows a man forced to stand on one leg the other being bound in a flexed position. Eventually both legs suffer. Release can be even worse as anyone who has sampled tit clamps will testify. Bondage has the potential for serious torture.

Finally this picture shows another almost decorative aspect to the art. The thongs circling the legs do not serve to restrain the man - but demonstrate that he is in his captors total control. Likewise the ropes used as blindfold. The overall effect is stunning and highly erotic.

The films are worth seeing if you haven't sampled them. They do dwell on struggling bodies but there are some fine looking men and some highly erotic passages. Google 'Bondo Gods' or visit Bound Muscle

Muscle and Rope - 9

Today's pictures show an athlete tightly bound lying on a bed. Regulars will know I like to see a 'story' in pictures and this imagery immediately suggests an abduction has taken place. Perhaps a jogger on his regular morning run finally became irresistable to the voyeur.

.
This is a moderately muscled guy but the ropes still look good. I particularly like this set because of the tight immobilisation of the victim. The tape blindfold and gag add to the sense that he is utterly helpless. We can study him but he is unaware of us.
. The rope around his waist passes inside the jockstrap hoisting his tackle into a more prominent position - a clue to his captors intentions?

Muscle and Rope - 8

Today we pick up on the theme of muscular swimmers in bondage. This guy's muscle is less well defined than others we have looked at but he's a nice, big man. The brightly coloured skimpy trunks somehow make him a more interesting target, almost as though he has drawn attention to himself and this is the result. Having tied him up the captor frog-marches him towards the bedroom. The victim struggles with the chunky ball gag.

.

In the bedroom our captive looks doubtful at the prospect of his ball gag being replaced by cloth. Too bad! Nice pec shot.

Muscle and Rope - 7

This poolside scene is highly evocative, suggestive of a possible dangerous dunking. It's nice to see muscle bondage outside the usual dungeon. The captor looming over his immobilised victim makes a dramatic composition. The blindfold also contributes to the menacing atmosphere. Much as I like to see a muscular man in jocks it's a pity the guys aren't wearing swimming trunks in this situation.

.
Tying a mans ankles to the back of his thighs is a sexy way of restricting the legs while leaving access to everything between. The arms are similarly folded back. A nice tight bondage package.

Muscle and Rope - 6

A bound man should look as though he's tied up and the Japanese style bondage art makes this state very clear. Forcing the guy to kneel appeals to the desire for submission. In true bondage art the restrained position would be more severe than this, designed to cause pain in it's own right, not just a restraint.

.And for me, seeing the moment of submission to bondage is in many ways even more erotic than the finished package. I like the way the arms are being pulled up in this example and it seems to be hurting too! The handsome man submitting to someone not so fortunate is a nice touch too.

. It doesn't matter a jot that both men in these pictures are wearing jeans, it's still sexy.
