Beautifuly Bound - Benjamin Bradley 1

Benjamin Bradley - Beautifully Bound

This photo set and video helped launch the 'Bound Jocks' brand back in 2011 and for my money it's artistic and erotic qualities have rarely been surpassed by them in the years since then.

At that time I think Benjamin Bradley must have figured on many men's list of
 'Guys Who Need To Be Tied Up'.

 
His visual image of carefree, youthful exuberance and surprising muscularity
 was coupled with a degree of celebrity, conferred by colourful blurb in the gay media.

Just Been Delivered

So it will have given many men a considerable amount of pleasure when he wound up on 'Bound Jocks', tied up in his underpants and kneeling on a metal table, enclosed by white curtains. Bradley's rarely seen 'serious' look and more mature appearance here contributes it's own story of unpreparedness and confusion. His pale blue is underwear a classic blend of sexiness and conservatism.

Exploring the Bindings

The crisp, clean simplicity of the scenario is maintained throughout this piece and it's this integrity which to my mind justifies the 'artistic' label, notwithstanding Bradley's own brand of manly beauty. Wide screen shots like this create a sense of the isolation and exposure of the captive. You will find cropped versions homing in on Bradley's lusciousness but I've stuck to the originals for this selection.

Testing his Restraints 

The austere setting naturally focuses our attention on Bradley and his plight,
but it also creates a distinctive, dramatic atmosphere.
Here he is bathed in a harsh white light as he strains at his bindings,
suggesting he is exposed and vulnerable to some external 'presence' of considerable power.
The simplicity of his bondage seems to accentuate his relative puniness.

Oh! I'm Exposed!

Suddenly, there's a change, someone has removed Bradley's underwear
and now the bondage arrangements extend to lassoing his cock.
Unfortunately we don't see any of this,
you might think from Bradley's surprised look that he must have missed it as well!

Renewed Struggle

At this point, the curtained enclosure becomes more apparent.
It seems to suggest there's a sort of clinical purpose for his detention,
a procedure which needs to be conducted out of sight, in secret even.
This lends a sinister air to Bradley's entrapment, a more urgent need to escape.

Now we see more clearly the bare (and quite small) metal table on which he is displayed.
It's a precarious perch if your hands are tied, but more importantly the hygienic steel surface
conjures up sinister associations with professions involving sharp instruments.

You sense that he knows he's not going to escape.
Any volunteers for a rescue mission out there?

The Art of German Twister

German Twister - Busy

This stunning image of a man in stylised bondage is by the artist German Twister. 

It's impact stems from a simplicity of style and an eye for a good-looking man.
The captive here appears to be holding a card payment machine but I'm not sure what the joke is!

Rent?

German Twister - Paratrooper

This artist's work is not without an edge and he captures the determination of this captive beautifully. He uses over-size ropes to good effect in accentuating the severity of the restraint.

Although the subject is clothed,  there's a simmering sense of erotic tension

German Twister - Captive Paratrooper

This image shows a more rounded view of the artist's skills

 in the technical execution of a tricky perspective and the sheer pathos of the content.

(which includes a rare treat for foot fetishists with an inclination to S&M)

This artist is obviously very experienced, but the only collection I know of for this artist on the Internet is German Twister at Telemachus 12

The prisoner's attire in the last picture may remind you of the 'Russian Captured Boys' site, in fact German Twister also has an Instagram site which links through to  a site where he sells clips from RCB and describes himself as the originator of that material.

Telemachus 12 is also a great source for other modern gay artists

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.

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.)

More on Bo Richards

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.
