In Praise of Y-Fronts - 22 More Y-Front Bondage

In these pictures our men are tied to objects. The combination of Y-style underwear and ropes creates a strange sense of unreality as though they had been plucked from everyday life, stripped and tied for some evil intent.

Shawn of Captured Guys struggles while tied to a chair - a simple restraint technique which inhibits access and serves mainly to keep the captive in one place. Perhaps while his belongings are searched or his clothes borrowed in for some criminal activity. It would not be suggestive were it not for the cradle around his nicely shaped package. There's a lot of straining going on down there.


Hunter of Academy Men is in more serious trouble, strapped to a medical looking platform so as to leave his body unprotected. The surroundings are very non-medical and so is the heavyweight harness on his head which is designed to accept a clip-on plug-gag - all rather ominous signs. The everyday underwear and apprehensive eyes suggest this is a very unplanned event.

In picture 3 Shawn Roberts of Captured Guys is truly majestic in this tip toe pose. He looks most unhappy being forced to pose in this uncomfortable position. Just two bindings, but this is the most vulnerable position of all

In Praise of Y-Fronts - 21 Garments of Restraint

I have described Y-Fronts as a garment for modest men. Being seen in them a cause for embarassment. How nice then to prolong that embarassment, that vulnerability, by tying up the wearer so he is unable to cover up and regain his composure.

Sleeping in underwear must be the ultimate statement of a modest man. But this picture shows that even loose fit underwear can hint at what's within. If robbery was the motive when this muscular man was caught asleep and tied to the bed his exposed buttock and writhing struggle to escape might well suggest another entertainment to his attacker when he comes to take his leave.

This man looks at though he was surprised while enjoying an early morning tea and smoke. The rumpled sheets suggest a struggle to restrain him, perhaps not suprising as the erotic bondage makes it clear that the the motive is not just robbery. The underwear detail is not clear in this picture but does produce a nice ball bag. The kneeling, head bowed pose is very sexy

In the last picture Randy of Captured Guys is taken on the living room floor. In this case the well-worn-in underwear, combined with the domestic surroundings and Randy's 'average guy' looks create a degree of realism in his plight. The attacker is still clothed but you can see which way his thoughts are going.

In Praise of Y-Fronts - 20. Hitting The Button

I freely admit that I love the sight of a man's bottom clad in white underwear so today I'm revisiting spanking (see also post no 8). This group of pictures come from the Man's Hand video 'Beating The System' in which a builder takes revenge on a man who done him wrong. As he forcibly undresses him a fantastic backside in white underwear is revealed.
.
The studded belt suggests that the victim is no wimp and shadowing between the buttocks is great!

The hand up the back in picture 2 is almost an intimate embrace. It lifts his T-shirt to reveal a substantial shapely rear. Who wouldn't want to spank this man?
.
In picture 3 there's an attempt to keep his modesty as the builders fingers dive inside the waistband of his underwear.
.
But he ends up over his tormentors knee blushing with embarassment.

Personally I think the last picture is the least erotic of the four but I love this sequence.
There are more underwear spanking pictures at the Man's Hand Films site

In Praise of Y-Fronts - 19 That's Torn it!

In real life torn clothing is usually a sign of age and neglect.....

For mitchmen, however, torn underwear conjures up images of forceful encounters between men in which the victim's modesty is a casualty of another man's desire for access.

Adriano's '2Xist' briefs have clearly been severly abused by someone and here he is forced to pose in them for all the world to see. No wonder he has to hang his head in embarrassment. Image from BangBangBoys.

Our third victim appears to have escaped from the ripper and is trying to hide - is it the sun making him feel a little faint? His attacker appears to have a splendid grasp of the art of erotic brief ripping, random tears just won't do! He must be livid that such a cute prize has slipped through his fingers.


No such escape for our final guy, Jon of DreamBoyCD. Bound and gagged he awaits his fate, cringing fearfully. The ability of some models to convincingly convey fear in bondage is disturbingly erotic but sadly not very common.The subtlety of the rips at the side is nice, conveying the danger of his captivity while allowing our imaginations to speculate what will happen next.

In Praise of Y-Fronts - 18b More Wetness!


Todays posting has swimming pool connections

Tony of BukBuddies rising from the pool. Anyone who has experimented with underwear in water will know the special sensations it produces as water swirls inside, it's quite different to wearing swimming trunks. This picture is a decent stab (!) at evoking that situation.

A swimmer coyly emerges from the pool – a classic 'embarassed male in underwear' pose. Those of us less well endowed might find the boyish modesty irritating rather than charming. I'm not sure of the brand here but it's clinging well (obviously!). There is always a severe risk of baggy droop in this situation!

Van Darkholme closely inspects the wet Calvins of a rather embarrassed looking hunky man. T-shirts are not as good a match for briefs as the sleeveless vest (see post no 16) and in this case the material is a bit too thick to give the best 'wet' results. Good fantasy material though.

In Praise of Y-Fronts - 18 Wet


If you need any more explanation for Mitchell's preference for white underwear, just wet them and all will be revealed. The shower is a favourite place to start.


The water makes the seams and double thickness fabric stand out. I like the shiny highlights on the material as the water cascades down between the model's legs. Nice face too


An older man showing more than he ought to. At least you can see there is room to breathe. The sheepish look gives the twist of embarassment or reluctance. Perhaps he's wondering what he can wear to go home in. These pics are all Calvins and you can see the modern low waistline clearly here.

My favourite in this group, there's a nice vertical composition here with the tilted head and hitched up briefs forming an arrow-like shape which is echoed by the bent arms on either side and even the thumb and finger at his throat. The shiny highlight snaking down his abs and the shower stream coming in from the left contribute to the same downward focus.

Of course a man having a shower with his underwear on is by no means unusual in communal dressing rooms, it's the mark of an extremely modest man - don't we love 'em!

In Praise of Y-Fronts 17 - Colours


In the old days, underwear for men was white, end of story.
.
Attempts by the Y-Front company to introduce light and dark blue versions with white seams met with grave suspicions of feminisation and brought ridicule from the straight-oriented male world of that time. Some of my earliest pictures picked up on this mood to create humiliation scenarios for the man caught wearing them. I'm think the critics were probably right – but for the wrong reasons.The highly functional design looks distinctly odd when jazzed up in this way.



The white vs colours divide still exists today but coloured underwear is commonplace. Designers have made clever use of colour to enhance the sexiness of the garment, but in making it self-consciously 'posey' have moved away from traditional Y-front 'values' and as a result, largely eliminated the sense of being undressed, exposed and vulnerable.


On the Aussiebum reds, the low cut waist is largely responsible for the considerable erotic appeal which on the slender model recreates the effect of swimming trunks. The dark colour exaggerates the size of his hips and emphasises the line of the white seams. The waistband sweeps around his body in a very attractive way whilst the leg and pocket seams curve together and dive out of sight between his legs.


The Diesels worn by Pedro Andreas of Stag Homme Studios look more like real underwear and the colour is very masculine. This image dismisses any notion that colours do not suit mature men but then this guy would make any garment look great, I suppose. It's a shame he ends up looking like an advertising hoarding, this underwear positively shouts at you, which is not terribly sexy.


The brown garment shows more restraint. It's another interesting male colour and the white seams are designed to give the model full credit for his bulges! These are more like shorts than briefs but I like the broad white leg hems which make his thighs look great.


Finally we have to have a Ginch Gonch boy.

This underlying design of this underwear is actually very traditional. Different patterns are patched together in a way that emphasises the seams and structure. The patterns themselves cleverly enhance the erotic areas, in this case with a net-like trellis design which increases the '3-D' effect just where the impression of size is wanted.

These garments are outrageously frivolous but in a peverse way they reinstate underwear as a garment which is best kept hidden and which clearly states 'I am undressed' when seen.

The rebellious Ginch Gonch style prompted me to create a mitchmen picture in which the two Ginch Gonch boys are punished for showing their outrageous underwear in public.
