A Fantasy World of Bodybuilder Morphs at IFNB

Did you know? 
There are now two IFNB posts at mitchmen (link at the foot of this article)
There's a third in the pipeline, look out for an announcement (Jan 2023)



If you like my recent BuiltByTallSteve muscle morph post you might enjoy these images from the IFNB blogspot (now sadly deleted). There the author had produced a large quantity of morph photo manipulations to conjure up a fantasy world of naked bodybuilding where cock size and performance formed part of the judging criteria with cum shoots a mandatory element in their presentation routines. The entire IFNB blog was dedicated to developing and exploring this fantasy in all it's aspects.
 
 

In his fantasy world, exercising this additional 'muscle group' becomes part of the body builders' training routines and gym assistants are employed specifically to 'spot' them in this crucial part of the workout. Getting 'spotted' themselves is an occupational hazard for these men due to the enhanced libidos of the contestants, who develop a constantly 'ready' state due to increased exercising of the muscle group in question. (This is somewhat contrary to most men's experience, sadly, and also to conventional scientific opinion on the effect of muscle development substances on the male libido).




The explanation of this unexpected phenomenon seems to lie in the introduction of studcum into the bodybuilder's diets. Top alpha studs are imported by the contest resorts to serve fresh milk to those competitors who can afford to pay for it.



Such is the power of the enhanced sex drives of these men
 that just flexing their muscles can be enough to induce ejaculation.
It's a valuable capability for the stage presentation.
 


Flying spray is not the only hazard for other gym users. Top ranking contestants develop an overwhelming arrogance and swagger and will pick other men out at random to help them finish off their 'cock bulking' routines. Typically, this body builder claimed that the other guys know that someone is gonna get used and it's up to them to keep out of his way if they don't like it.



Because of perpetually enhanced erotic state, lesser competitors at pre-contest formalities run the risk of being humiliatingly covered in deliberate emissions from the top rankers they encounter. They can take comfort from the fact that if they wipe it off and eat it their own regimes will benefit and it will cost them nothing but their pride.



Contestants are required to give up a sample before going on stage to pose formally. The ability to splatter yourself is seen as a sign of quality and is no disadvantage in the judging. In any case these bodybuilders all have their adoring fans who eagerly help out with spills to demonstrate their love. Perhaps also hoping that some of their hero's magnificence will rub off on them (as it were)



When organisers introduced all-nude dormitories for contestants it was almost inevitable that fans would break in and seek out their favourites to see if they could wangle an autograph, picture or sperm sample out of them. The more obliging bodybuilders would happily flex their muscles for them sometimes causing a simultaneous auto-ejaculation - to the delight of all.



Competitors can augment their income and finance their training by giving demonstrations and workshops for their followers, this one is on 'cum skills'. One lucky fan gets a great demonstration of the star lecturer's cum shooting skills. (You may recognise some familiar faces in this deceptively simple photo manip which cleverly turns an ordinary J/O scene into something much more interesting.)



When the competitors go on stage, they all hope to be winners and show off their best qualities.
The massed display of prime beef manhood can be very distracting for those watching from the side-lines. They must try and practice self-control lest they prejudice their own performance when their turn comes. Watching and waiting doesn't get any easier in the climactic stages.....



Here, Collegiate level amateurs spray cumloads, excited by having to flex naked in front of judges and fans. Their off-stage arrogance is tempered with anxiety when they become the ones to be judged. They know most of them will troop off as losers. But there can be worse outcomes........
 


  "Middleweight IFNB pro Craig Frewer (left) has a slight cock failure during an abs pose.  Frewer's extreme cock prep included controversial (and completely unpredictable) pre-contest treatments with SPH (sperm-production hyperdrive). This caused Frewer to have some of the most memorable cock posing failures – yet also enabled him to set an IFNB record for cum shots in a single round for Middleweight professional naked bodybuilders". (IFNB quote).
(IFNB quote)

The anonymous author of the blog writes lengthy commentaries against each picture like the one just above. He uses the same deadpan style as straight body builder magazines and lays out the erotic practicalities of the sport, back stories for the imaginary competitors and details of the numerous organisations who participate in it.

These morphs are based on real competition bodybuilders so there's a lot of heavily cut, tanned and veiny muscle which isn't normally my cup of tea and this blog author hasn't changed my mind about that. However there are 'softer' muscle images too and I do enjoy very much his accounts of the top contestants practice of squirting over fellow contestants, trainers, officials and fans alike and sexually abusing them whenever they feel like it as a crude display of male dominance. The quality of the morphing varies but there's plenty of good examples posted, as I hope I have demonstrated with my selection here.

There's a mass of material and you can't help but be drawn into the world he creates in a satisfyingly comprehensive way. Even if bodybuilding's not your thing you can enjoy the fictional manipulations and ribbing of those who take it more seriously.

Mitchell's - Last Chance Saloon

Gay Art by Mitchell - Last Chance Saloon
.
The Mitchville Cops have generous spirits.
When they catch rogues up to no good, they don't automatically run them in.
Instead they ajourn with them to a local bar to hear their pleas of mitigation in comfort.
As you might have expected, the local villains soon get to know each Officer's preferences
and share with each other the arguments that will go down best with each one.
When you're looking at a 10 year stretch, a hairy ass is not so very daunting.

Reraizure - Bondage Artist

"Unfinished"

You may have seen this remarkable image before, it's one of the most memorable creations of the bondage artist* 'Reraizure'. The model is precariously balanced on the foot rest of the stool and secured to it by rope across the seat. The whole set up seems to be defying gravity and somehow makes him appear very, very naked and vulnerable. His strapped back arms and bowed head epitomise submission - marvellous.

Reraizure explains that another model was supposed to sit on the stool to assist stability. That would have created a highly erotic alternative image but this one works very well as it is and if there's a bit of trickery keeping the stool stable it doesn't matter in the slightest. 

*I should perhaps explain that Reraizure only does the ropes, he doesn't take the photographs.

"Vision"
 Reraizure makes a speciality of suspension bondage, but in all fairness it's the photographer's vision that makes this image so striking. The barn-like setting suggests a remote and unfrequented location  The window casts a flattering light on the naked captive's body and the highly textured wooden walls and beams contrast with the smoothness of his skin. His position only allows him a tantalising glimpse of the sky outside his lonely prison and a sense of time passing.

This 'open' type of bondage is a stark contrast to the closed submissiveness of the previous image. It shows the captive in a heroic light with his arms posed to fight and folded leg poised for flight. He would be at home on one of Michelangelo's painted ceilings, honouring some deity or other by lounging at his feet.

"Eschereque"
  There's a sense of flight in many of Reraizures suspension images (not surprisingly). In this one the body line cleverly echoes the sweep of the stairs which can be seen spiralling upwards. The running pose seems to suggest a flight of a different sort as though this man is trying to escape the baffling visual maze, which borrows from Escher's idea of endless staircases which bring you back to where you started. There's a better-known companion photograph to this, showing the model seeming to descend with foot outstretched just above the banister rail (below).


Icarus

Icarus was the mythical character who foolishly tried to fly with stuck-on wings. The mirroring of the stair rail slope 'ties in' the model to the idea of a rapid descent. It also reminds me of boyish pranks sliding down banisters. The nudity of the model seems more noticeable here.

Invite
This is one of my favourites, an archetypal suspension bondage image with a very desirable captive neatly parcelled up in inescapable ropework. We can't see his wrists but the multiple leg tie-backs and supplementary roping around his feet suggests a captor that really means business. Once he's off the ground, this guy ain't goin' nowhere and his face shows an intriguing combination of calm and concern. Quite what the title means I'm not sure!

Connect
This is another moderately familiar image and one in which it's the sporting apparel that immediately 'connects' with me, setting the imagination racing into naughty kidnap scenarios. The raised leg affords an enticing glimpse of buttock and simultaneously pulls down his waistband at the back to tantalise in that area as well. On a more aesthetic level the neatly aligned, body and arm roping is very satisfying

This image has a couple of deceptive ingredients that only become apparent with closer study. The model is less enmeshed than first appears, as the body roping matches his unusual 'band' tattoos.
Also the model in this picture is actually lifted off the ground. It's not obvious, partly because of the lighting and also because the standing pose tricks the eye.

Notice the metal links held in reserve, looped though the door mesh top left.


Lily
This is pretty much the same pose as the sporting 'Connect' above but this model does have one foot on the ground, just. It makes a big difference. That enforced tip-toe introduces an element of stress, nicely echoed in the drawn-up, other foot. The suspension here helps to induce a bowed, submissive head in the model. Suspended by the primary bondage on his arms, escape without help is going to be extremely difficult

Reraizure calls it Lily but I know this as the stork or crane pose. 
I assume it's not the model's nick name! He's called Phil.

Seen alone in an unfurnished room he's either on display or stored out of the way and it's an effective scene setting device. His trendy jeans and bare top conjure the idea of a workman whose work failed to impress as much as his physique. Or one who volunteered for an extracurricular, fee-paying job and now perhaps has reason to regret it!

"Classical"
This study of a cute captive is Classical in the sense that it is a nude in a relatively simple form of restraint, but the body ropework and asymmetrical limb restraint is more akin to Japanese Shibari than the European Classical tradition.

The atmospheric lighting also steers us away from conventional, brightly-lit, academic studies into a more erotic direction. This open leg sitting/kneeling pose is both submissive and sexy even if you can't see anything. You know his undercarriage is touching the ground and  buttocks fully spread. 
He might be displayed on a pedestal but we aren't in a conventional slave market here!
In Balance
 This is a quirky picture with a neatly dressed captive seemingly 'hung out to dry' at the doors of an old garage or workshop. The thigh roping frames his crotch and his hands are safely out of the way. Whether he's gazing at his captor departing or an interested newcomer arriving you can decide for yourself but the image is full of potent uncertainty and opportunity reminiscent of those deserted town, horror movies.

 

Reraizure doesn't really do erotic art and though his bondage images are undoubtedly homo-erotic, he doesn't really do overtly gay imagery either. This gets close though, even though the two men are tied to each other back to back. Both are attractive and you immediately wonder what connects them in their nudity. As I have observed above, the flat kneeling position is full of implied eroticism and the interlocking heads are not devoid of sensuality either.

There's also a Reraizure tumblr page, it doesn't have different material or as much as the Deviant Art page has but it's easier to navigate and view, with different commentary

First Catch Your Rogue - 10 The Bondage Apprentice

Reading The Instructions

Jeff had always fantasised about a buff burglar breaking into his home
About how he'd over-power him and have his wicked way with him.
He always kept his bondage gear handy for just such an eventuality.

Then one night it actually happened, 
he woke to find a stranger in his room.

But it turned out that the burglar was stronger than he was
He was rough too, not at all friendly or playful.
He tied Jeff up tight with his own rope
and settled down to go through all his stuff.

When dawn broke he was still there, totally engrossed in a book he'd found.
Being a delinquent ruffian he had read out loud and quite slowly
But he seemed to find it quite inspiring - the bits he understood. 

Jeff hadn't minded what he did after reading the first few chapters.
But Chapter 11 had been quite embarrassing for him
 and his bottom was still tingling red from Chapter 12

He was hoping he'd lose interest before he got to Chapter 21.

This fabulous image is from the legendary 'Bound and Gagged' Magazine

Malex in space


I tend to think of Malex as a purveyor of teeth-gritting, snuff imagery but there's plenty of less scary fetish material from him. His Sci-Fi and Space images are particularly interesting. 

This image showing a helpless, naked captive gazing out of a space ship window where a battle seems to be in progress. It's not obvious why he is in this position, a hostage hoping for rescue perhaps. The picture makes him seem highly vulnerable, as indeed he is should a stray blast damage the air tightness of his vessel. The sense of danger is subtly erotic in quite a powerful way. 

Seeing Malex's familiar and rather austere 'black and white' technique applied in a Sci-Fi context brings out it's relationship to the style commonly used in commercial adventure and war comic books. Perhaps Malex also worked in this field.

Notice how the spaceship overhead (if that's the right expression in space) bears a striking resemblance to the Starship Enterprise. Malex often borrows from contemporary movie imagery for these pictures*

(*look out for the laser cutting scene from 'Thunderball', the half-buried Statue of Liberty from 'Planet of the Apes' and the frame whipping scene from 'Starship Troopers')

  

 This picture reworks the same visual idea but the scenario is even more obscure. (Some of these images come from the old Katharsis site so I dare say the there's a reader out there who knows the story line please let me know via 'comments'). Two space crew seem to have been turfed out of their bunks and tied up naked. Once again a (vaguely phallic) spacecraft hovers overhead seeming to pose an ominous threat which the blackness of the sky seems to accentuate. 

It seems to be the 'situation' that interests Malex most here, the two captives in this image seem fairly tokenistic representations of men, lightly built and relatively ordinary looking, you don't get a strong idea of their personalities or emotions in this situation, even their erotic state seems ambiguous. It seems that it's their nudity, vulnerability and captivity that is important.


It this image the unspoken threat is realised but not fully resolved as the captive is carted off by heavily-armed, robotic dinosaurs to face some further unknown fate. The method of transport invokes the representations of primitive natives in 20th century exploration/jungle stories, Tarzan being a regular 'customer' of the technique in that genre. The captive's suspension is reversed by Malex to make a more erotic display of him and incidentally give him a much more exacting ride to his destination. Whilst the captors here seem to be impersonal, clumsy automatons, the phallic log from which he is suspended hints at more organic tests ahead.


In this picture, the naked captive is not tethered to anything but is completely immobilised and unable to move. Tightly bound and hooded he's placed in a kneeling position that immediately suggests a sacrifice or execution. Surrounded by a bleak wilderness, his body is covered in perspiration indicative of his fearful anticipation. 

One threat to him appears to be from below, underground where a strange alien creature can be glimpsed possibly able to burst out of the ground and and consume the hapless spaceman. Materialising imaginary creatures is a risky business in terms of credibility (as the images below and tentacle art generally illustrates). The partial cropping here helps perpetuate the sense of an ill-defined menace

The starbursts in the background may be meteors, raising the possibilty that this man's fate is to endure a meteor shower out in the open and exposed while his captors hide safely underground. A sort of extra-terrestrial stoning.

 

 In this picture the castaway astronaut is being spread out and tied down in a similarly bare landscape by a fearsome-looking, horned, spider-like creature. We finally get a decent glimpse of the victim's face. He looks up in awe at a plant-like entity which looms over him with fluid dripping ominously from it's tendrils. Notice how the shadow of the plant seems to suggest a threat to the young man's neck. 

The background geology here is quite intriguing. What we initially take to be weird rock formations bear a striking resemblance to crashing waves and the more you look at it the more it looks like sea. Perhaps it's a petrified sea.


This unfortunate traveller faces a threat of a different sort, that of medical experimentation by curious humanoid aliens. In all of these images it seems these inhospitable distant planets have a perfectly breathable air for humans but not apparently for these creatures who are suited up as full blown astronauts rather than medical technicians. 

The human's face is covered by what looks like a tentacled creature inspired by the movie, 'Alien'. It's tail is wrapped round the guinea pig's neck making a none-too-subtle suggestion of suffocation or some other deeply invasive coupling. I use the word coupling deliberately, because at this point the captive seems to be quite excited by the experience. Of course that doesn't mean he is going to survive it. The unpleasant threat posed by this creature may explain the protective suiting worn by the observers and it may be that these are humans too, with a warped sense of scientific curiosity. 

It's interesting to compare the tentacled creature here to the ones that took Harry Chess and Mickey prisoner in my Ajay article (Part 3). Humour aside, these images are exploring similar ideas of being totally taken over, engulfed by a more powerful being, one not constrained by normal human rules.
.

This scenario too would be worthy of a Harry Chess tale for it's sheer outlandish complexity. The image of a terrified, tied up man dangerously balanced above a pit containing a tentacled creature is fair enough. Quite why the caterpillar-like captor is using this contrived method of 'delivery' requiring considerable dexterity to set up and quite how it managed to capture and tie up the human in the first place is baffling. That said, the danger ingredients here are quite compelling. It seems unlikely that the creature in the pit is planning to tickle it's captive and the caterpillar 'feeder' is suitably powerful and repellent. It's another example of inter-species collaboration like the spider and plant above. Malex's drawing of the captive is one of his more realistic and physically attractive human creations.

At one time, these bleak landscapes were standard sci-fi territory but I think Malex's folio is unique in terms of fetish art. Modern artists, helped by the power of computers, seem to have moved on to more fantastical worlds and creatures in lusher settings more akin to earth.

Malex's spacemen all appear totally naked, ramping up the hostile threat of alien worlds and airless space. He doesn't appear to have explored the erotic power of tight-fitting spacesuits which have always interested me. I have published two astronaut pictures here 'Astronaut by Mitchell
and 'Space Cadet Chastised' by Mitchell

I don't think there's any decent repository for the work of Malex,
