The Rope Art of BoyzBond

This post is especially dedicated to anyone who is alone - or who feels alone - this Christmas. Partly for that reason it's not about Christmas and should be meaty enough to entertain for a while.

 

Boyzbond has been around on the internet for many years sharing his love of men in tight clothes and tight bondage. This image from 2010 epitomises the former with a nostalgic nod to the vintage years of skin-tight jeans which were custom-shrunk to fit by sitting in the bath while wearing them!

BoyzBond images feature men of all types, but their faces and bodies are generally cloaked, allowing the underlying male characteristics to be showcased.  In recent years, skinny-legged jeans have re-accustomed our eyes to tight apparel and, together with the tight bindings seen here, reveal that even slender young men have the proverbial 'hour glass' figure normally attributed to voluptuous women.

(and I know which I prefer!)

BoyzBond is strongly focussed on rope. The captives crotch-enhancing 'harness', the single rope tethering him to a ceiling hook plus the straps dangling on the wall indicate that beautification is not the sole objective here!

The post tie position was once a Hollywood staple in Wild West and Pirate fantasies but BoyzBond is one of the few bondage enthusiasts featuring it today. It amplifies the immobilising capability of the 'ladder pattern' loops seen in the previous image, obliging the captive to stand in an erect and manly position with shoulders pulled back (like your mother told you). The doubling-up of the tape gag as a topping-off head restraint is a fiendish, extra, disciplinary tweak.

 These leggings show the captive's leg contours even more and give him a sporting identity.
Carefully positioned thigh ties accentuate the buttocks nicely.

 

 In this image you can see there's also a central 'bun divider' for added effect. The simple bondage arrangement of the previous image readily converts here to a hog-tie.

The all-in-one, 'Zen' bodysuit is a natural addition to the tight clothing range. It blurs the boundary between nudity and clothing, flimsy, clinging and revealing, such that the man wearing it feels naked even though he is not. In addition, this unconventional outfit becomes part of his bondage 'package', separating him from his everyday 'clothed' identity like a prison uniform does.

From there it's a short step to rubber, which brings it's own, more restricting clinginess to the wearer's attention. It's natural tone is dark and sombre, but this stylish variant uses colour to accentuate shoulders, pecs and the downstairs package (complete with tantalising zip!). All this is purely for the benefit of on-lookers, the blindfolded captive can only guess what on-lookers make of his display. 

The chair tie is another classic, movie bondage position, normally used in the detective and spy thriller genres, but Boyzbond shows that it's no sluggard in the sexiness stakes. Tight-tied thighs push up the pouch and the flexed body position creates a natural cradle for it with a star pattern of flattering creases radiating on either side.

The open legged variant produces a heightened vulnerability, opening up a wider area for inspection and more, should one wish. The captive's unruly hair is a characterful detail suggesting that this might be an out-of-character experience for him. The same might be said of the incongruous 'antique' chair! At least this dungeon does not skimp on comfort and style. Sticking with black for the rounded neckline on his suit showcases an attractive head and neck.

 

This open legged, upright pose in full leather regalia creates similar vulnerabilities but the captive here projects a proud and manly aura and an admirable physical stature. This style of restraint pays tribute to his strength in the traditional manner accorded to the likes of Hercules and Samson - and rightly so if those intimidating thighs are anything to go by. 

And those thighs are not the only intimidating detail!

This pose, facing a mirror in an otherwise empty room is a regular feature of Boyzbond imagery. It creates a sense of expectation for us and him. Perhaps dread too in some men, if they have glimpsed the array of implements on the table before being deprived of sight.

There is something intensely erotic about the act of tying another man up, gradually reducing him to a point where he cannot resist further incursions. This gagging moment, closing off the last avenue of appeal, graphically  illustrates the captive's helplessness and his captor's power to inflict on him whatever he wants.

Sensory deprivation has a multiple purpose, including the shrouding of the captive's identity. It also despatches him into a different world where only his sense of touch will function. He will only feel what his captor wishes him to feel and if the man's a wily operator he will give ample space for the captive's imaginings to stoke his anticipation of what is to come.

 

You sense this captive might be experiencing just such imaginings as he stands erect and waits, aware  only of the pressure of his suit and of the bindings, not least the loop between his legs which is clearly riding up uncomfortably. All men are equally vulnerable in this region.

For some, discomfort starts with the gagging. This man has been assigned an inflatable gag which augments his imposed, near-silence with considerable on-going discomfort. If he looks to his left he might discern others coming his way.

The BoyzBond style of restraint and the tight, body-shaping clothing attracts erotic attention and sadistic thoughts. Simultaneously it makes the wearer aware of his vulnerability in this respect. The clothing offers a layer of protection, but he knows that his captor can easily compensate for it.

This bench pose provides a more enticing target.
The gallows-like device positioned between the legs is intimidating in itself.

 

 It converts readily into a hog frame and in this sporting example the frontal arm provides anchorage for a head restraint, potentially a painful option if more severe tension is applied.

 

There are other torments more subtle than the slapping of cheeks. This restraint combines the humiliation of precarious display and open access with pressure on unaccustomed joints. One for those who seek the extremities of the bondage experience.

mitchmen at war No 20 - Hung Out To Dry (Bizarre Brutality 6)

This image shows the dramatic rescue of a soldier who has been tied up, hung up and tormented by his captors. The noose-like suspension rope and the wildly swung machete conjure up all sorts of unpleasant outcomes, but these men are on the same side despite my different colouring of their kit. The original image shows the suspension rope having already been severed but I restored it in this 'take', otherwise the swinging machete looks oddly out of sync. 

 

It's common in these comics to obscure any body details which might be construed as suggestive using speech bubbles or objects, but this image is uncensored and provides a nice glimpse of pec cleavage and crotch creasing. The lower half of the Sergeant's body has a bulkiness which looks not quite right, but is curiously attractive!

This picture shows the moment earlier, when the searching patrol first catch sight of their missing Sergeant (see in the distant middle background). This simple suspension arrangement is unexpectedly menacing. The mocking deprivation of water underlines the captive's helpless plight while the simmering threat of the other captors is conveyed by their casual, half-disinterested activity, as though waiting their turn. 

 

For gay detectives, the bantering friends at the far side of the group are interesting and I couldn't help noticing that the pouring water also seems to spring suggestively from a secondary source at the bespectacled tormentor's groin. The pair squatting by the fire are not without erotic interest either although the only backside view is screened by a branch (an element which is not just gratuitous blocking, but helps to link the the two groups together visually).

 

For a cheap comic the drawing of this image is remarkably careful and interesting and the miniature figure studies within it are realistic and characterful. The drawing style is not exactly simple but has a sketchy and strikingly angular feel (in the clothing creases, for example). The original images were published as roughly 4"x3" size (11x7.5 cm) and the line thicknesses here suggest they were actually drawn that size too, which makes the effectiveness of the face detailing all the more remarkable, notably the squatting man to the left of the fire whose features are rendered almost entirely by shadowing.

 

 

The patrol close in stealthily. Another 'nice' picture with the dangling captive still looking interesting even at this tiny scale - a ripe fruit waiting to be plucked - as are the campers round the fire in a different sense! I suspect a military man would haul this lot over those coals. No sentries posted and a roaring fire in 'bandit' country, not only advertising their presence but hindering their ability to sight attackers in the shadows. Silly boys!

From a gay point of view the highlight of this image is none of the above, but rather the two majestic bottoms in the foreground. I have slightly enhanced  the cheek shaping and clefts here, but not the poses which, like the first picture, relatively uninhibited for this genre. The machete resting on the right hand soldier's buttock, obscures his valley of lust, but in it's own way stirs thoughts of vulnerability, penetration and even spanking! 

More deviously, the Officer poised (suggestively) just behind his men and pointing his weapon in exactly the right direction seems like another example of ''the artist didn't have to draw it like that, did he?" Admittedly that alignment, like the branch in the previous picture contributes to the cohesion of the composition, which in this case has every person in the picture facing or looking at the fire. My colouring accentuates that (compare the original).

Having been freed by his colleague, the Sergeant scampers into the cover of the jungle, a bit like a school kid running off after being caught scrumping apples or some such mischief. The drawing itself has a more comic style to match. I have slightly smoothed and clarified the Sergeant's bottom contours here (compare original). No wonder they wanted him back! In that original comparison image, notice also how neatly the two frames fit together, conveying the flow of the action - freeing, turning and running. Clever stuff.

I haven't changed at all the deliciously woof-able forearm in the foreground of this picture which maintains a proper balance of serious manliness. This element of the picture also illustrates the fragmentation and incomplete contours which are a rather classy characteristic of this artist's style.  

We are not given any clues about the Sergeant's treatment whilst in captivity, he's not obviously injured, but there is circumstantial evidence further on when a comrade strips off his shirt to reveal the scars of his own period of captivity.  

The enigmatic dialogue here reflects a complex plot in which this man offers to sacrifice himself and save the patrol by impersonating an enemy officer. He feels he can't go back to base with them because he disgraced himself by revealing secrets under torture, which led to many deaths.

 This example of Bizarre Brutality is similar to BB No 5, but featuring a slightly different (more humane) form of suspension. In both examples evidence is produced of beating having occurred but it's not explicitly shown because of the nature of the audience. This form of punishment is documented elsewhere in the drawings of Okawa showing suspended captives being beaten with bamboo sticks like those used in the Martial Art of 'Kendo' 

Okawa - Captive Suspended and Beaten (in loin cloth)

Our captured Sergeant seems to have escaped a naked beating like this.

Okawa - Captive Suspended and Beaten (with CBT)

 See my A-Z article on Okawa for more images implying punishments of this sort. They suggest that treating captured soldiers in this way was an extension of an existing cultural practice.

The Art of Baron has a new home

Baron - The Mines

Those of you who enjoy the work of Baron will be pleased to hear that he has switched his Subterranean mailing list group from the ruins of Yahoo! to Google Groups (link below)

Here some recent works of his. The title of this first one made me think of mineral mining first, a natural slave scenario, but then I realised it was the type of mine scattered indiscriminately in modern combat zones. You might see this scene as political comment!

My apologies to all concerned for the crudeness of my alterations, but I hope it brings out the homoerotic flavours of the piece. The schoolgirl costumes in the original are particularly unappealing to me, but I like the storyline. I could wish CMNM would remake this as a proper all-male movie but I fear they would introduce more physical coercion and a 'dick on a stick', which would lose the subtler male manipulation that makes the original so interesting.

Field Slaves 2

 This post comprises of some more adapted images from the CFNM series 'Field Trip' which my 'Field Slaves' post was based on. I previously omitted these ones because of female presence, but the underlying images and scenarios are still homoerotic if you have the mindset to accept or blot out unwanted elements. I don't have the photo-manip skills to eliminate them satisfactorily but have done my best to minimise their presence and focus on the two male slaves. 

The first four images below form an introduction to my original story.

John and Andy report for work at the farm. They've been slaves for some time and their owner hires them out to other farmers sometimes. On these occasions, they're allowed to wear trousers to walk to their designated workplace, to avoid upsetting members of the public. They change into their work gear immediately on arrival. 

It's a ritual that never gets any easier

Especially as this particular farmer gets his secretary to meticulously inspect their kit
every morning to confirm that it conforms to the contract of hire

Preliminaries completed, the two slaves are sent out to the field to work.
