Last Word on the 'Beanie'

Lee John by Gilles Crofta

I actually like this look but I'm not sure if it is because of the hat or despite it!

Maybe it's the chains!

Lee John would make any clothing look good - but then again......


Maybe not!

Fab Abs though.

Ministry of Silly Hats - 2 Continued!

Having said my piece on the beanie and Chaz (2 posts back), here it comes again this time sitting on the head of Trent Davies - I'm starting to feel outnumbered here!


Like Chaz, Trent's combo today also includes fetish gear and he looks pretty awkward (not to say camp!) about being asked to wear it.

It's like a student lost in the woods has stumbled across the three bears playhouse and decides to try their things on.



This picture from the same set reveals that Trent sports a neat college boy haircut. Still somewhat at odds with the fetish theme but altogether more attractive. In my book, the knowing, catwalk-style posing devalues these pictures as erotica. But I acknowledge the ironic humour, it's a free country.

Pictures from Freshmen magazine which has now ceased publication I'm afraid.

Bound Gods Favourites - 5

This post features another recent release in which two buddies are watching TV in their flat when an intruder bursts in and takes them captive. Bound Gods is great when it gets away from the dungeon.



The two actors Brian Bond and DJ (nearest) look just like two ordinary, straight guys doing ordinary things - no muscle gods here. The bond between close friends is very special and very powerful of course (whatever the sexual orientation) and that's what makes this story special. It can be a source of envy, but this rarely leads to it being tested in a physical way.


The intruder takes the boys captive after cutting the electricity and proceeds to remove both men's clothes. Brian is tied to a chair while DJ is forced nuzzle his underwear, then to suck him off. Equally humiliating for both of them of course. This image with Brian sitting, legs spread wide and grimacing helplessly as his nipple is being tweaked is very striking, the highlight of the set. The buddies are both the instrument and witness of each others humiliation. Brian's impressive erection is mandatory of course but suggests another layer of embarrassment for him.


Brian is temporarily consigned to the bathroom while the intruder works on his buddy. For the friends, separation and isolation is just as bad as joint humiliation. It's a nice twist. This picture, where he is dragged back to the living room (having been primed for action you will note) is another great picture. Once again the simplicity of the bondage enhances the captive's body - and emphasises his complete nudity.


In the final excerpt the straight boy's humiliation is rammed home by a collar and chain, which he can see in the mirror. It's symbolic rather than a real restraint (and mundane in a way), but doubly telling in this straight domestic environment. Great story.

Ministry of Silly Hats - 2 The Beany

Chaz by Randy Blue
Don't get me wrong, I think the 'beanie' hat can look very sexy, perched on the back of the head.
But I'm not sure it really 'goes' with leather apparel.

I'm afraid the 'pulled down' look is probably best left to pensioners
out doing their shopping on a cold day.


Without the hat Chaz looks much more masculine.
There's no need to distract attention from his basic assets.
He's good looking in an understated, guy next door sort of way which is very desirable.
He also has a marvellous fleshy, chunky body and an endowment to match.
I'm planning a more flattering post for Chaz soon.

Bound Gods Favourites - 4

4 Bandaged Legs
 .
This post showcases Dominic Pacifico whose supple body has featured in some fantastic Bound Gods images. I could have chosen a number of moments from his films, but this fairly recent one is most memorable for the leg bondage employed.


I love to see the models wearing clothes because they enhance the body. 
Dominic's jeans really show off his thighs - which are soon to become a focus of attention.



The 'doubled-back leg' form of bondage in which each ankle is secured to the back of the thigh is very photogenic. The position naturally causes the thigh (and calf muscles) to bulk up and the ties draw attention to this, so it looks nice. It also disables the prisoner in a very obvious way. 

This original variation, in which dark bandages are wound round the entire doubled-back limb, including the foot, magnifies both these effects. Dominic's legs are rigidly fixed in an un-natural position, a recipe for intense pain if the restraint is prolonged. The dark bindings somehow conjure up all sorts of associations - the middle east, female dress, medicine even, a heady brew!

I like the idea of the captor spending time over preparing his victim, so that he looks attractive and erotic for his punishment. It shows a sort of appreciation of him as well as demonstrating absolute control.

 Job done, Tyler Saint can savour his prisoner's manly qualities.



From the front the 'disabling' effect is even more striking and slightly shocking, flirting as does it with amputation imagery. The dark bandages perform the same visual function as waders (and stockings!) do, drawing attention to Dominic's thighs and unprotected, dangling cock. Forcing him to balance on his knees like this reminds him of the limits of respect for prisoners, it's another Bound Gods trademark.


Dominic's wrists are loosely restrained and this makes his balancing position doubly precarious. It produces the exciting sight of the victim trying to keep from toppling under the onslaught of lashes. I love the tension in Dominic's arching body and the spreadeagled legs. Of course his efforts only serve to keep him in the firing line and present a more exposed and inviting target, which Tyler attacks with gusto. As always the models contrive to make it look painfully real.

Bound Gods Favourites - 3

3 Cop Caught Out
In this choice from my favourite Bound Gods moments, it's not the props that make the impact but the simplest of bondage and punishment combined with good casting and a nice twisted story line. The 'Creepy Janitor' who stalks and abducts college jocks has been a recurring theme at Bound Gods right from the start. Brenn Wyson currently plays the creepy part and he can certainly look scary.




In this film, his secret is discovered by a young cop, played by an actor known only as 'Ned', whose blond hair and clean cut looks create an impression of youthful professional integrity and enthusiasm which, naturally enough, the evil janitor mocks. However, this cop turns out be more steely than he looks and in his search for the truth, strings Wyson up for interrogation.



This image with Wyson stripped naked and balancing on a block is unspectacular but I love it. In the context of the story, vulnerability is the wrong word to use, although there's a hint of the noose about this construct. Wyson's nudity and exposure is brought out strongly by the precarious position, the tight upper body restraint and the fact that Officer Ned is still in full uniform. This lashing is a prelude to an improbable sequence of complicated tortures and sex, but there's a great twist as Wyson eventually escapes and turns the tables.


Now it's the young Cop's turn to be stripped and he is stretched out in a hanging position that produces a beautiful arching of his body, a classic back-stress position which will become increasingly painful with the passage of time and showcases his pert buttocks.
Wyson ruffles his hair mockingly.


Ned's dangling equipment is soon taken in hand, to be tweaked and abused. 
The directness and intimacy of this torture is very powerful and the result written all over Ned's face. Wyson's vindictive pleasure at his captive's helpless agony is hammy but right in character
 - and don't his muscular arms look great!


Officer Ned goes on to get the lashing he deserves. 
Bound Gods have a knack for making it look real and Wyson certainly puts his back into the job. Great sequence.

Luke In The Can

Mitchell - Luke in the Can

A picture destined for a series called 'The Lost Patrol'.
This is intended to be a major story and has been taking shape in my mind for many years, but so far I've only finished a few drawings with rather more sketches. Here we see Luke, one of the members of the patrol, being punished. He's locked inside a small metal cell, exposed to the searing heat of the sun.
