A New Life for Sam

 

This image mines a similar vein to the popular picture by Chirenon,
 'A New Life For Our Airforce Boys' posted here in 2017.

Snatched from a busy, gay night club on a Saturday night,
 Sam finds himself under-dressed for a trek across the Prarie.

 I've no idea who photoshopped the original picture but I'd be glad to credit him if anyone tells me.
(view unaltered original)

I did some more, much cruder manipulation to experiment with alternative positioning (below).
Apologies to the original creator!

Vintage Bondage - Ryder Knight aka Bo Richards

Ryder Knight aka Bo Richards

Ryder Knight strikes a classic 'casual glamour' pose which is more reminiscent of the 1950's 
than the early '80's when this picture was taken for a 'Honcho' magazine spread. 
The tattered clothing and leather accessories seem a tad incongruous too.
Aficionados will instantly recognise the hand of Zeus Studio at work.

 

Bo's restraint commences with a rope tied just underneath his pecs 
it enhances their bulk quite nicely as you see below.


Ryder ends up with hands neatly tied behind his back
 and jockstrap shredded to the point of destruction.


This crouching image is possibly the highlight of the set 
It reveals an impressive, earthy bulk in the model.
The upper body restraint is comprehensive 
The 'in yer face' viewpoint (in the style of Colt Studio)
has a brash vulgarity about it.


The contrast with this pose could not be greater. 
The token ropes and 'little boy lost' pose with head thrown back in despair
hark back to the arty, liberation imagery of the sixties 
but even this modest glimpse of cock would have been banned then.


Ryder's longish hair is of it's time. 
It gives him something of a 'wild man' look here
The incomplete restraint seems to strive for artiness too


Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.
The flamboyant hair works better here, bringing out a youthful sexiness
and you can imagine this guy as a sportsman.

That juxtaposition of pretty boy looks 
with intimations of rough handling and restraint
create a heady erotic brew for the imagination.

 

Ryder's erotic power comes across even more in this picture 
it's from 'The Cruiser' (made under the name of Bo Richards).

The models pec's seem even bulkier here, I'm quite partial to those fleshy folds underneath.
I'm not usually turned on by skiing apparel but the braces and deep zip here 
frame the torso much like dungarees and wrestling singlets do. Nice.


From the same film and it's Bo's youthfulness that suddenly becomes apparent here 
thanks to shorter, neck-revealing hair and that cheeky ski hat, 
(similar to the Commando Cockleshell hat whose sexy attributes I highlighted
 in one of my war comic articles.)

There's not much material about this model on the web.
Unfortunately much of it it is fuzzy magazine scans.
You will also find films if you search imaginatively.

Mitchell's Fetish Art for July - Army Lovers

Mitchell - Defiant Lovers in Breach of Regulations
An experienced, professional soldier (left) has been successfully training squaddies in specialist skills for many years. Then, one day a new group arrives and suddenly, out of the blue, he finds himself becoming obsessed with one of the men in the class. Unable to understand his feelings, he singles the man out for extra training and punishments. This only serves to bring them together all the more and strengthens his interest in him. He slowly realises he's fallen in love. 

He is torn between his feelings and his duty. It's improper to for an NCO to fraternise with his men and although this recruit is legally an adult, Army regulations outlaw any sort of romantic relationships between the men.

Inevitably the day comes when the two are alone together in his quarters and he discovers that his feelings are reciprocated. Years of suppressed passion are unleashed, but they are interrupted by the Sergeant Major who has been tipped off by another member of the squad. 

Facing disgrace and dismissal from the Service the two Soldiers defiantly declare their love.

This picture harks back to a time (not so very long ago) when gays were not allowed to be in the Armed Forces and being caught like this would result in a lengthy detention in the Guardhouse, followed by a discharge in disgrace. That meant you could say goodbye to any Service Pension you had earned. That very specific situation also graphically summed up the bleakness of the gay experience outside of the forces at that time.

It's a little different now, if you don't count Russia, Brunei, Uganda and a host of other countries.
If you don't count religions who are never content to keep their judgemental beliefs to themselves.
If you don't count all those social groups and individuals who still refuse to recognise the validity of gay love and use any opportunity that comes their way to say so.
 I rarely make posts here under the 'Pride' label but it is perhaps timely now.
I suspect Freedom is a fight that will never end for us.

Rugby Revelations



So Israel hurried to his Hotel,
 where there was a Gideon copy of the Bible
-  still in it's cellophane wrapper.
The unblemished word of the Lord.

With trembling hands he turned to
Luke 6:22-23
It read: 

"Blessed are you when people hate you,
    when they exclude you and insult you
    and reject your name as evil,
    because of the Son of Man.

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, 
because great is your reward in heaven. 
For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets."
