Guys In Uniform - 11 Military Intimidation

Two vintage military pictures from the now defunct 'Guys in Uniform' studio.

GIU managed to seek out models with exceptional thighs and cram them into skimpy shorts, with a result that is arguably more erotic than nudity. Their combination of ordinary clothing with more sexual dress created a sense of bizarre, unpredictable events going on. This 'through the legs' shot expresses both threat and domination, which was central to their work. The dangling strap here is a tingling bonus in the threat department. This pose also appeared regularly in Royale Studio's work, hence my confusion and error in GIU10, but this is definitely by Guys in Uniform, run by connected people supposedly.

 

The athlete's cross-legged pose is quite boyish and submissive but shows off his nicely adult pecs. He averts his eyes, a mixture of resignation and secret defiance. Touches like the real uniform and the hair on the soldier's legs give a sexy sense of naturalism absent from most modern studio work.

 

The second picture is slightly posed, but provides another great view of those powerful thighs. The strap is revealed to be an awesome instrument of pain, so no wonder the athlete looks sulky and resentful. The pugnacious face of the soldier is unmistakeably adult - no boy on boy action here. The athlete's hairstyle isn't military standard, which suggests a recruitment scenario, or an enlisted man who has let his standards slip during a period of absence. On leave, or perhaps AWOL. In reality, it's probably just the way he turned up on the day of the shoot!

Connor at Bound Guys - 4 (last)

This last image shows Connor, bound and on display at International Man of Leather convention as part of the Bound Guys stall. Connor for sale? What a thought!

The prospective buyers are checking out every detail while the captive seems to be evaluating his potential futures. Again no nudity to speak of, but so sexy.

Connor at Bound Guys - 3

Not everyone can carry off military uniform
but Connor makes a decent stab at it in 'Active Service'.
 Love the vest.

The hint of sweat on his cheek adds an element of drama
and the plunging bondage is quite interesting too.
 But Connor is just so cute!

Connor at Bound Guys -2

Two pictures of Connor from a series called 'Property of...'
I get a bit twitchy about real life voluntary slavery but forced ownership as a fantasy is very erotic. Connor has a suitably concerned expression but the head resting on the bed cover spells out 'I submit'. The vest and line of the pinned-back arms is very sexy.

Readers will know I find clothing erotic and this struggling, 'vest-only' pose is excellent.

From a series called 'Puppy Training'.
Puppy or not, Connor's resigned, hang-dog(!) body language is terrific.
Again the Tee-shirt emphasises the nudity of the lower body even though not much is visible.
It also frames his head nicely at this angle. Clever photography.

Connor at Bound Guys - 1

One of the highlights of the year for me was the arrival of a new model, Connor, at Bound Guys.
One of the nice features of this site is that it's not obsessed with nudity
(although that genre is well represented)
Connor's first appearance, clad in black singlet and jeans certainly did not disappoint.

Connor has an attractive boyish face and a chunky body
The storyline about a hotel thief surprised and tied up by his intended victim is sexy.

Connor's backside gets another showcase in a story of an American visitor
who is kidnapped and held hostage in a hotel room.

The victim's imploring look is terrific.

Nudity is superfluous when pants fit this well.

A-Z of Fetish Artists,The letter N - Mitchell's Choice

It is my custom to choose a favourite for each letter and the letter N has provided the usual mix of artistry and eroticism.

My criteria are artistic merit, fetish content and sensuality, all overlaid of course with my own personal prejudices. In this group we had two notable 'artistic' contributions from Naomichi and Nobeast - beautiful but possibly not fetishistic enough to top the heap. Nicolas's more elastic draughtsmanship is also worthy of mention for it's successful portrayal of struggle and movement. As for fetish, Neil Bruce covers a wide spectrum of tastes, disguised with humour, but Nath66's sci-fi/medic fantasies also strike a chord for me. In the extreme art department Nikos' struggling torture victims, though simply drawn, quicken the blood in contrast with the art of NSM, Nimium and Nikolaas, which is perhaps a bit too careful and passive.

None of the artists represented here majors in sensuality (in the erotic sense) but I guess Nath66 and Neil Bruce come closest and these two artists are my main contenders and despite my reservations about mixing humour with fetishism there is only one choice here for me .... Neil Bruce whose subtly disguised nastiness and power play is very erotic.

Mitchell's A-Z of Fetish Artists - Nunn

Nunn - Forced

I'm not a fan of the work of Paul Nunn and I don't collect it because of the youth of the subjects he draws. However, I'm happy to acknowledge his existence and show a sample which is less Yaoi-like than much of his work.

The captive buddies/comrades theme is another 'pinch' from standard adventure fiction and I find it very erotic although I've never figured out quite why it should exert this power. The sexual coupling pose shown here, even with bondage involved, is pretty standard fare these days over at sites like 'Bound Gods' but the substitution of normal clothing for leather gear immediately creates a more sinister real-life atmosphere. Nunn manages to infuse the scene with a sense of frenzied activity and aggression which makes the plight of the captives seem more real. The faces of the two aggressors and their victims spell out exactly what is happening. Cold shiver time!

Nunn takes a few liberties with perspective (like the table) but they don't jar and almost lend an air of Picasso-esque respectability. This image has more convincing 'depth' than most cartoons. It's interesting to compare his treatment of folds in clothes with NSM our last artist.
