Bound and Gagged Magazine - 2

Another selection of classic Bound and Gagged Images. Is your favourite here?
 
Drew Andrews rope-tied in army uniform

Military images were a regular feature of B&G and the uniforms they used always seemed to fit the models and co-ordinate properly, giving them just enough authenticity. The haircut too is right in this example.

Brent Woods Tied Up and Spanked 

Spanking fans were well looked after by B&G and they are probably responsible for a large proportion of the posts by the studio circulating on the internet. The coupling of spanking and bondage is a rare treat and this set is made all the more memorable by the model's natural attractions and (for me) the half-masted,white underpants.

'Shadow' buckled, tied and taped

Serious bondage with the arms pulled right back and the face almost mummified. The combination of all these different types of restraint seems like overdressing to me, but it gives a powerful impression of overwhelming subjugation. The street clothes, suggestive of a manual worker, are a million miles away from the world of leather dungeons - but perhaps not for much longer!

 Let's Tie Up Tommy - Ethan Starr, Sam Dixon and Mason Jarr

The title is as memorable as the image itself and it spawned many fantasy moments for me.
B&G often showed the process of tying up the captive, which I find highly erotic.Unfortunately most commercial imagery these days tends to focus on the end result only. 'Roping' up is more suited to still imagery rather than videos, since endless fumbling with knots and feeding of long ropes through loops while the 'victim' patiently waits, unresisting, is not very exciting (although all that's needed is some imaginative editing to make it so).

The 2 on 1 situation depicted here is not without it's appeal either. It elevates the tension in the situation and in an isolated still photo you can read the 'attacker's' smiles as simply playful or something more sinister.

 There was a plentiful supply of cute models for the publication and some useful ideas on what to do with your captive when you have finished preparing him. In this set the model was seated outside on a porch for the enjoyment of passers by.

JT Sloan torments Sweet Williams

'Real men' were featured too, the immobilisation of a chunky muscleguy by a smaller man is always sexy. JT Sloane makes a great captor here with a face that could make you believe he really is a hard villain.

 B&G Magazine crashed unfortunately, but Bob Wingate has continued with a Bound and Gagged site selling some of the old material.

Bound and Gagged Magazine - 1

Jamie Lawless - cropped and jocked

Fans of bondage imagery owe a great deal to Bob Wingate whose 'Bound and Gagged' magazine in the 90's was a trail blazer in producing good quality bondage imagery and making it widely available for the first time. 

Brian Banes ties up Chuck

I imagine many of my readers will have experienced the thrill of seeing  forbidden images of men being tied up for the first time courtesy of 'B&G' and even if you never saw the magazine or the videos, you will certainly know some of the imagery, since a whole string of very familiar classics came out of this stable. 

 Luke Savage - Marine

The pictures that accompany this article are a selection of some of the best ones. Some of you may not have realised just how many of these well-known pictures came from the same source

Unknown B&G Model

This one was a surprise to me, I have known it for years and always thought it a fantastic bondage image - super buns! - but I didn't know it was a B&G shot until I made the connection while researching this article. 

Ethan Starr - bound and spanked over an ammo box

If you are anything like me, you might have wondered what is the story behind this well known image and what other pictures came out of the shoot.

Logan Reed - Chairtied and Leather Gagged

On model featured by B&G was Logan Reed who was a mainstream porn star at the time and a great favourite of mine, I loved his chest hair 'grow-back'. I originally knew him from Falcon's fairly vanilla stuff. When I first saw him tied up by B&G, it was a fantasy come true, well almost, it was still only pictures!

Yet Another 'Wedge' from Nursury0

Nursury0 - Go For a Ride

Every time I think I must have exhausted the list of artists exploring the punishment potential of the Wedge another one turns up! This is by Nursury0 and explore seems the right word for this set of variations. His Wedge is a real leg spreader and the frontal viewpoint gives a sense of the discomfort involved. This victim has to endure it under the glare of hot studio lights - and presumably an audience.

Nursury throws in a shredded clothing humiliation for extra interest, ripping up his
Spiderman outfit that must have been extremely expensive to buy! I'm not a superhero aficionado (particularly where masks are involved) but as far as I know Spiderman's powers do not emanate from his clingy gear, so this is pure vandalism on Nursury0's part, the cruelest cut. Sadly it also deprives us of a view of the captive's cock straining to get out of his body hugging suit.

Men Sharing Clothes 17 - Green Speedo's

In these articles I reflect on the strangely sexy effect that results from wearing clothes belonging to or previously worn by another man. In this group, three men create some interesting contrasts from the same pair of swimming trunks.


This hunk is a body builder called Derren McLaury and he fills out these swimming trunks very nicely for AAG. This traditional style of swimwear particularly suits older looking men. Green can be a tricky colour but it goes great with darker skin and in this case also tones nicely with the sea around him.

Rolling the top down always enhances the erotic vibe but you can see in this reclining pose that the design works well for Derren when it's worn as intended too, with the waist pulled up. That twinkle in his eye would melt the hardest heart.


No 2 in our parade is Kyle Heinz, same trunks, similar location, but quite a different effect. The trunks seem to drain his colour away (assisted by the background glare). They also accentuate his slimmer (but no less muscular) build creating a much more boyish appearance which doesn't have anything like the same sex appeal, despite the sultry facial expression.


Now see this same model in more youthful surfing shorts and he looks great! Admittedly he's coloured his skin and buffed up for competition here, but the long shorts accentuate his slender proportions making a virtue of them. Kyle's face suggests he might be a sporty sort of guy and the contemporary, casual garment complements that impression.


Finally take Justin De Roy. The proportions of the trunks on his body tell you he's a big man, although you wouldn't guess it from the delicate, chiselled features of his face. The trunk design certainly suits his physique and the colour is right for his skin but somehow, in combination with the casual beefcake pose it doesn't quite do him justice. He looks as though he ought to be doing something more serious.


This image of Justin by Luis Rafael, using pinks and greys, works better. The pose, looking back to Michaelangelo's studies of slaves and other classical art takes advantage of Justin's statuesque appearance. Michaelangelo's sculpted slaves were trapped within the rock from which he carved their bodies, Luis has 'trapped' Justin behind heavy, bolted and chained metal doors, creating a stunning image and suggesting a stimulating scenario for would be collectors.

There are more swimmer images under the label below, including bondage pictures and my recent post on Scotty the swimmer whose Speedos get cut off his body.

The Key To Your.........

 
I stumbled across this key picture only this week, I've never seen it before. 
The style looks like the artist Colt aka Luger aka Jim French.
The rather coy innuendo is a bit 'period' too, 
but it's an interesting variation on the key theme of my recent posts.

Mitchell's Key

Mitchell - Chastity Keyholder

This is my own take on the elusive key conundrum (see previous post).
From my Olympic Swimmer story, a competitor is caught pissing in the pool
 by military security and their punishment/solution is to plug it for the duration.

For other pictures in the story go to the Yahoo! group.

Just Out of Reach

 Baron - Study of a Prisoner
During research for my recent post on Baron, I turned up this picture of a tethered slave and the 'key out of reach' motif reminded my of Tom's take on the same theme (below). I wanted an excuse to use Baron's terrific picture anyway, it's a marvellous figure with a beautiful physique and a sexy pose. I love the split underpants and the refreshingly relaxed cock.


Tom of Finland - Tethered
Tom's picture is a quite different subject and the stud's equipment is at the other end of the scale, as you might expect for a Tom picture (although it appears the leatherman retreating in the background didn't!) This is actually quite a nice sketch from the period when Tom's men looked youthful and beautiful, with real faces and dressed to reflect street fashion. 

But it's the vanquished leatherman who represents the future, 
a foretaste of the accident-prone, stereotypical hero 'Kake'. 

The slapping down of youthful 'entrants', depicted so clearly here, is funny enough,
 but the motivations seem oddly conservative (almost spiteful) for a sexual revolutionary like Tom, who is normally credited with depicting gay sex as a joyful pastime.
