Footnote on Bound Gods


Luke Riley
Bound Gods - Epilogue

The Chloroform post was the last of my present series celebrating the imagery of the Bound Gods studio. It's been surprisingly hard to choose just 10 representative examples even though I pretty much excluded 'straightforward' dungeon material (probably wrongly) and orgy scenes (which for some reason leave me cold). 

In the end I did succumb to repeating the water tank and electro-torture themes but I think I've been able to show that the work of this studio has many, different, appealing facets - models with personality, imaginative scenarios spiced with realism and unusual and stimulating fetish devices. All supported by quality photography with a great understanding of what is truly erotic. All the same I have no idea how I have managed to leave out Trent Diesel's hangdog submissiveness and beautiful abs or Luke Riley's spiky personality. 

I suspect I may want a second bite! 

  
Just to reiterate, I don't derive any income from these reviews
 and I am immensely grateful to Bound Gods for allowing me to post the images.

Bound Gods Celebration - 10

Medical Electro-Torture


My last selection in this celebration of Bound Gods imagery returns to the topic of electro-torture, 
but this time in a medical context.


Phenix Saint plays a psycho-patient who is restrained in a strait-jacket in a padded cell. 
He starts starts loudly demanding attention.


His 'restlessness' has a sexual dimension (naturally) and there's a sense of unpredictability and menace from him in this scene. This is a nice shot of Phenix's well developed thighs.


The Ward Orderly (Jason Miller) takes him to an examination room for a thorough investigation. When dressed in a smock Phenix suddenly looses that aura of strength and power and submits with more docility than you would expect, especially considering the Orderly has whipped his cock out and is shamelessly groping him. 

This sequence seems a bit unlikely, but perhaps Jason introduced a sedating medication into Phenix's buttock before his strait jacket was removed. 
Anyway Jason decides he to chloroform him so he can confine him.



Phenix awakes to find himself unfrocked and strapped down to the bed. 
Once again his thighs are the centre of attention. 
The Orderly has strapped two electro-pads to each of them and is busily wiring them up.



A nice shot of Phenix looking extremely doubtful as the treatment begins, 
perhaps the sedation is wearing off, but his cock is certainly excited.



Before long he's jumping about in pain. 
The restraints leave him just enough freedom to writhe and struggle but there's no way of escaping. Jason enjoys the show in his own way. But there's more...


Next, the Orderly takes hold of Phenix's penis and carefully inserts a special electrode into the tip. 
Apart from showing us clearly what is happening, there's a nice intimacy about this image 
but the straps around Phenix's thighs in the background remind us that it is a one-sided intimacy.



With the probe fully inserted, the cage-like cap fits snugly over the top of Phenix's cock, 
held securely in place by the ring which sits snugly behind the flare of his cock head. 
With Jason's hands removed a glimpse of Phenix's right thigh shows us how his legs are held open by his restraints, a vulnerable position which makes the conglomeration of wires and metal electrodes attached to this part of his body all the more intimidating. 
It's as though we are looking through his eyes, fearing what is to come.


We can now see that Phenix has also been gagged, 
although this very un-medical, bit-gag will not stop him shouting. 
Arguably it will protect his tongue from biting during electrically induced spasms 
but it would be nice to see a less fetishistic design. 

The brown strapping fits the bill better 
and allows him just enough freedom to struggle - to Jason's obvious pleasure. 
You can admire Phenix's thighs to the full here 
as he begins to experience the second trial and braces himself.


Close up again you still can't see what Phenix is experiencing 
but you can comprehend that there is no escape from the tormenting electrodes attached to him


This picture could easily be glossed over, but for me it is pure erotica. 

You can see how the ring of the cage fits neatly behind the flare of Phenix's penis head, so it is held securely in place. The straps holding the pads against his thighs are so tight they compress his flesh. 
Phenix's rigid cock immediately grabs your attention, but look also at the lines traced by the front of his thighs as they converge towards his neat pubic mat. It's beautifully erotic and the continuation up towards his pecs would be too but it is broken up by the tattoos on his abdomen. 

The authentic looking equipment in the background, even the orderlies hand create a tremendous sense of a helpless captive being remorselessly tested.



That hurts! Phenix curls his body and draws his legs up, 
fists clenched in an involuntary response to the assault on his groin



A marvellous shot of Phenix's muscular body writhing and tensing
 as his whole genital area is subjected to painful torture by the sadistic Orderly.


Phenix sinks back exhausted.
Jason extends a cynical comforting hand 
or is he just enjoying the feel of his victim's trembling body?
.
What can I say? Marvellous erotica.

A-Z of Fetish Artists - P

My A-Z of fetish artists resumes next week with the letter 'P' which will include such stars as Palanca and Player. Just to remind you that I only cover artists with a genuine fetish element in their drawings - leather jackets alone won't qualify! Those who produce computer generated art are not included either, partly to keep a manageable-sized list but also because I don't feel well qualified to comment on that genre. Nevertheless I hope to address it in some way in the future.

My criteria for assessing artists are:- fetish content, technical merit and sensuality.




Paul Patterson - Rugby Scrumdown

As a taster here's a picture by Paul Patterson who I wouldn't have expected to be including in the list, but he will get a proper mention later. Meanwhile any rugby picture is liable to get a mention from me. I particularly like the tight shirts in this image from surprisingly long ago.

Bound Gods Celebration - 9

9 The Cylindrical Water Tank

Another water tank scenario but quite different from the Rusty Stevens 'Lab Rat' classic which I covered earlier in Part 1. Dante is the man here, a regular-looking kind of guy, 
he is kidnapped by C.J Madison.




After being first stripped and then thrashed hard, Dante is dropped into the water tank with just his hands tied together and his cock and balls roped up, forcing them out away from his abdomen. He has to suck Madison through a hole in the lid while kneeling waist deep in water. 
Kinky but not really scary.



However when Madison takes his cock away he pushes a water hose through the lid instead. 
Water gushes into the tank and it rapidly begins to fill. Dante realises that although he can move around, he cannot get out. He bangs against the lid but it won't shift.



As tank continues to fill, Madison walks away leaving Dante to face the horror of drowning. 
Soon he is entirely submerged and terrified.



Next we see Dante down on his knees in the tank but now his body is immobilised, tightly wrapped in a lattice of ropes. His captor has removed him from the tank, tied him more securely then dropped him back in again. The change is chilling for now Dante is unable to rise to his feet, because his ankles are tied to the back of his thighs, leaving him completely dependant on a length of tube to breathe through. A tube that can escape from his mouth if he struggles too much or which his captor can remove any time he chooses.



The curved walls of the tank magnify and distort Dante's body shape making him appear like a preserved biological sample in a bottle. In order to keep the tube in his mouth he has to arch his body backward pushing his exposed and roped up genitals forwards. Seen through the glass this looks very sexy we can see he is sporting an erection as though the danger is exciting him.



Madison patrols outside gloating at his victim as he struggles to control his panic.
It's a stunning 'danger' sequence in an otherwise straight forward movie and full credit to Dante for the stunt work. Not everyone could put themselves in danger like that, even knowing that there were plenty of safety precautions - assuming there were......

Men Sharing Clothes 9 - Rubber Vests

Rubber vests are like the most memorable of lovers - it's a challenge to get into them, but once you have, they cling to you and squeeze your body tight. They make you look and feel absolutely great when you go out together. They draw bodily fluid out of you in unimaginable, messy quantities. But then you start to realise they need quite a lot of looking after and somehow after a while everything goes a bit slack.


Cody unbuckles

My first model, Cody demonstrates the 'cling' rather well with creases swirling erotically round his body. Fellow wearers will recognise where that look of satisfaction comes from.

But the tell tale signs of previous wear are there, just below the armhole, salty deposits left by a man's sweat. Is Fabricio (below) the guilty party?



Fabricio Smoulders

Mmmm! Trickling sweat! Looks like he might be!

I have to say I wouldn't complain about sharing this man's vest, just look at the way his broad pecs stretch open the neckline. This design is rather good, the restrained shade of blue and carefully placed star work with the low neckline to make the most of a man's chest. But if you are fortunate enough to have massive pecs and a sharply tapered waist, even rubber can't overcome the limitations of an untailored, one-size-fits-all design. Beware of your prized body sleeve screwing up into a tangle further down!


Fabricio Straightened Out

Ah, that's better …...and I am rather partial to sticky-out ears, very sexy!

But I'll let Cody have the last word


Cody straightens up discreetly

Bound Gods Celebration - 8

The Pain Competition
In today's selection, Chad Rock and Jason Miller are subjected to trials to decide who is the best 'sub'. In some ways it's standard 'dungeon' fodder which I would not normally linger over, voluntary submission doesn't head up my fantasies though, of course, it is different in the real world. 
But there are ingredients in this movie which make the imagery a bit special for me.



Firstly there is Chad Rock himself (right, above), his slightly 'weathered' appearance, chunky frame and shaved head make him an unlikely looking sub. That being so, shaving his pubes off and kitting him out with a chastity device makes a very nice subjugation statement. 
 
I like the way the two men have been fitted with similar gags and restraints in these pictures and stand up to take their punishment in a very manly way. There is a 'buddy' theme of sorts going on, in as much as the two men are to undergo similar degradation and punishment. However, they are so far apart in terms of outward appearance that the idea of them being matched against each other in a pain endurance competition doesn't really work for me. In serious films it's stimulating for contestants to be unequal and produce unlikely outcomes but in porn I think I prefer stereotypes to prevail. I find it easier to imagine a 'real' relationship between these men (romantic or workplace for example) being put to the test.



Things get more serious now as Van Darkholme and Christian Wilde (in the mask) lay into the two boys. I love the anguished looks here, the waders draw attention to their ungainly stances as they flinch away from the lashes. Waders accentuate a man's thighs in a delicious way and Jason Miller's physique looks a good deal more substantial here


In this scene, the improvised tape bondage has been replaced by neat rope-work pinning back the captives arms and framing their pecs, a trick that works particularly well with Chad. The chastity cages make way for electro devices inserted into the men's cock-tips and the harness gags have also been removed allowing us to see their facial expressions properly. We are rewarded with serious, manly anxiety moment from Chad as Van Darkholme turns up the juice. Beautiful.


Pegs and hosed water next and another marvellous, very masculine expression from Chad (can this man really be a 'sub'?). Shaved bodies always look good when they are wet or oily and here the shiny highlights also showcase the nipping of Chad's fleshy skin rather well. His natural physique adds a nice touch of realism. Jason too looks good, offering us a classic submissive/endurance image


Finally the two men are laid out next to each other with necks resting in the shaped recesses of a rack, chillingly reminiscent of the arrangement used for guillotines. The symmetry and uncluttered nudity of their bodies is very erotic, just a gag symbolising their shared plight. The absence of visible restraint suggests total submission. Christian looms menacingly over them. It's a great 'buddy capture' image.
