Whatever happened to boundxxboy?

Long ago when the internet was still young

 and Bound Gods just a twinkle in Van's eye,

there was boundxxboy

As cute a guy as you could ever wish to meet. 

With a beautiful, lean muscled body.

Trouble was, the local toughs seemed to find him an irresistible target 

When he came home from jogging they were there,

eager to take his sweaty clothes.

Time and again he was stripped to his underwear and tossed on his bed
and he knew what would be coming next.

The trouble was, he did get a boner when they strapped his ankles together and hog-tied him.

 But then they would uncover his ass and begin to take photo's

and they'd show them to their pals.

And more of them would come and torment him.

They seemed to get rougher and rougher.

In vain he pleaded to be left alone - but they  punished him if he resisted.

But then he seemed to disappear.

It was as though one of his admirers had stripped him off
and spirited him away.

Whatever happened to boundxxboy?

Is he being held captive somewhere?

Forever doomed to put that peachy ass on display
 whenever his captor wants to admire it?

I'd be glad to hear if anyone knows where other boundxxboy images can be found.

The Art of Baron

Baron - Injun Revenge

 

Baron has been producing photo manipulations with strong S+M flavours for some years now. This 2004 image of three Cowboys held captive and tortured by an Indian is quite well known. The power of the picture depends on the viewer's knowledge of the reputed cruelty of these tribesmen towards white men. It's suggested quite mildly by the pec cuts and details like the fire, but it's the wary expectancy of the third man staked out for attention in the cave that really invokes the sense of deadly threat. The lush muscularity and arousal of the foreground captives gives the picture an
erotic dimension for the viewer which is totally absent from the action. 

 Baron - The Arab Market

Cruel redskin stereotypes are pretty much consigned to history in our more enlightened times. The people of the Middle East are not so lucky, but this fanciful invocation of a slave market is pure fantasy. Once again, we have three enviable, white hunks held captive, but this time they are facing an uncertain future in servitude. Presumably some cruelty will be involved, but as long as their new owners allow them ample use of gym facilities, they should be OK.

Observe how remarkably clean and uncrowded the market is, Baron's 'realism' is that of the glossy entertainment industry rather than 'warts and all' historical authenticity. This place is actually more akin to an upmarket bordello, where scarce gems like this can be constantly recycled for greater profit.

Baron  - Germanicus Divine
 
Baron's settings go back to Medieval times and Ancient Rome and he's on safer ground depicting the cruelty and punishments from those eras. In this crucifixion scene, once again, it's the knowledge of what is to come that drives the drama, although the use of ropes instead of nails and the traces of cuts and bruises give ambiguous messages. The expression of the naked victim as he watches the arrangements for his demise being dispassionately completed around him is quite arresting. The crowded perspectives in this picture are not entirely successful, but highly dramatic, lending a purposeful bustle and complexity to the soldier's activities.

Baron - The Stripping

These anonymous, 20th Century soldiers appear to have a more earthy fate in mind for their vanquished enemy, much like other military victors down the ages. Baron's models always look buff, clean and well-groomed and that serves his erotic purpose, but they do seem more at home in modern uniforms.

Baron does not simply assemble figures into a composition but manipulates and combines small details from different pictures with remarkable skill, the blending together of the different elements is so fine that it is difficult to 'see the joins' and they appear to be real photographs at first. 

Tatanka's Triumph (2013)

I particularly like Baron's 'Western' scenarios and this more recent picture shows his ability to create broad, sweeping, epic-style images. The ominously circling birds are a recurring motif, they even crop up, surrealist fashion, in indoor scenes sometimes. The separate detail image illustrates his careful construction of erotic flavouring using clothing, just enough to stimulate the imagination. The surprising glimpse of heart pattern underwear, linking to the present day, makes you wonder what sort of ritual is really being enacted here. 

Baron - Disciplines of the Sodomites (detail)

My final example is also a detail of a larger work and I've included it because it is such a beautiful image, not just for the men and the clever use of sexy clothing, but for the interesting, uncluttered setting and the marvellous balance of colours and the lighting which seems to shine out of the picture like an old master. The arrangement of domino-like tiles on the floor appears to be some sort of balancing test and the sense of expectancy created by the on-lookers, next in line is very clever.

Baron sells his work and he usually protects his copyright by releasing only low resolution images and details of larger pictures like those reproduced above. He offers his work for sale through the Subterranean Google Group, publishing tantalising teasers there for lurkers to enjoy. Some of his work used to be seen at Chained Muscle, but that's gone now.

Men Sharing Clothes 16 - Grey Leotard

This series has already featured the green leotard worn by many men at Bound Guys, this example features some better known models also unwittingly sharing intimate, wrestling kit.

 Doug Acre's chunky body belies his boyish looks, especially those well-developed thighs which show off the lines of the leotard beautifully. The garment is a turn-on to wear as you can see, hugging the lower body without constraining inner movement. Of course it could also be the rope that's triggering Doug off,  the thought of a passer-by taking advantage of him.

Then again perhaps he's imagining who might have dampened this garment previously?

It just happens to be Angel Rock.
Clad in the same outfit, he cuts a leaner, meaner style with a little body hair adding extra masculine spice to the sweaty mix as he gives his captive some hard teasing. The cock hoop-la humiliation featured later in this scene with Connor Patricks looks comical, but any knocks on the balls when those rings land will cause quite a bit of aching! Which explains Connor's anxious look and Angel's smile as he moves in for 'work-in-progress' inspection.

Looks like the leotard's getting some juicy preparation for it's next assignment.

Beautifully Bound - Doug Acre

 

Doug Acre by Bound Jocks

This bondage is very understated but obvious.

Doug's sexy leotard sums up his desirability

His bowed head signals compliance

A fighter tamed

In Bondage, less is more

Sometimes, simple imagery is the most powerful, sparking the imagination.
 

Black, rubbery gloves tell the victim that his predator is strong and dangerous 

- and harbours unconventional motivations.

B+W bondage study by Dan Skinner

A naked young man, loosened bindings and a look that says 

an escape attempt has just come to nought.

(Dan Skinner)

 Blindfolded, arms pinned back, the captive follows his guard.
He is drawn along reluctantly, a noose-like halter tugging insistently at his neck,
and imagines terrible fates which lie ahead.
(Bound Gods) 

 Draven Torres tied up at Fetish Force

Multiple windings, imitating the seams of underwear,
emphasise to the victim his captive, helpless state
 and package up his male, erotic zones for the pleasure of his guard.
(Fetish Force)

Aiden at Bound Guys.com

Handsome, admired on the street, now he tastes captivity.

The casual, everyday clothing and absence of body embellishments 

create the impression of a man unspoiled, real and desirable,
and now he has been taken.
(bound guys.com)

This clean, smooth, naked body used to sprawl in the comforting caress of soft sheets,
his luxuriant, coiffeured hair rested on downy pillows.
Now he is walled in by a cold, abrasive, rusty, metal grille.
The simplest of restraints suffice to detain him

and make for an economical feast for fetishists
(Unknown Model for Manbound Hardcore Supercuffs)

Spencer Fox invaded at Bound Jocks
 
Forced to bend by corded windings tugging upwards on his arms.
During the game his jockstrap kept his manly organs safely pocketed
against the rough and tumble of his sport.
But now it leaves a tempting openness for the oily advances of other men. 
(Bound Jocks)

Jared at Dreamboy Bondage

Three-point bondage renders the captive totally defenceless,
preventing him from turning away from the punishing lash.
 The bolted-down, neck restraint, tightly encircling his throat,
allows no hope of escape and reminds him of his vulnerability

His captor has shaved his body
and dressed him in flimsy, see-through, lingerie shorts,
so that he may enjoy the gyrations of that part of the body
- when the punishment resumes.

Speedo swimming Trunks Shredded

This recent fetish storyline from BF caught my eye.
It features a swimmer who falls foul of the Team Management - and pays the price.

 Model Scott has a nice body and wears his speedo's well.
I like the gleaming body highlights suggesting he's just out of the pool,
it would be even more interesting if his trunks were wet too!

 The Officials produce evidence of Scotty's misdeeds.
Scotty protests that it's only the syringe he uses to refill his printer cartridges.
His face has a look of naivety and innocence but he's not fooling anyone.
A likely story, they scoff, it looks like a long ban for you Scotty!

 Poor Scotty is devastated, all his hopes for the Games, all that training down the drain.
It looks like he's going to be like putty in their hands.
(He's already pretty well moulded from where I'm sitting!)

There's a simple, on-the-spot test to verify the side effects of ingesting diluted, cyan ink.
Unfortunately the hands-on check is invasive and Scotty finds that refusal is not an option.

but Speedo swimming trunks were made for such as this!

Scotty turns out to be not putty exactly, but something a bit warmer and firmer.

Scotty's bare bottom clinches it.
Those rosy, blushing cheeks are conclusive proof 

- not of cyan abuse, but of a guilty conscience.

Scotty's Team Speedo's are ceremonially removed from his body
cut apart using the revered, traditional scissors
specially kept by the committee for the purpose of detrunking fallen swimmers.

"No!" whines Scotty, visibly shrivelling. 

"Please don't kick me out of the Team. I'll do anything!"

They immediately close in like wolves and Scotty realises he may have over-promised.

"Well, says the team manager, there might just be a way....."

Scotty's broad back and a flail
turn out to be a match made in heaven.

Scotty takes his unexpected thrashing like a man,
The punishment is worth it to stay in the team.

His grimaces give the two officials all the satisfaction they could wish for.
He also faces a year of looking after the Swimming Team's kit.
But maybe that's not such a bad punishment.

Baron's Wedge

Baron - Sawhorse

 

A slightly fuzzy contribution to our 'Riding The Wedge' tortures from Baron.

For commercial reasons, this artist rarely publishes high resolution copies of his pictures, so I've blown this up from a catalogue page. It gives you the gist of what's going on though it scarcely does justice to his remarkable photo-manipulation technique. 

 His historical scenes have a sense of realism, but it's a movie-like version of realism where buff models are pitched into nightmare scenarios. With Baron, there is sometimes blood on the floor but only just enough to chill the soul and kindle our fears for the fate of the beautiful captives. 

I'm presently preparing a more substantial article on his work for future publication.
