Military Punishment by Paul


Paul - Punishment Cell


 These images by the (vintage) spanking artist 'Paul' (aka P.R.) depict Military Correction scenarios. All the participants are dressed in shorts, which used to be regulation wear for Desert Fighting and sometimes in Jungles. I've always been excited by the idea of men fighting in scanty clothing* and the shorts shown here are exceedingly scanty and very tight. What they would do to the enemy we can only imagine. The rolled-up sleeves have an equally provocative effect on me.

The two Military Policeman have a manly appearance and being dressed exactly the same as those facing punishment adds an element of skin-to-skin earthiness and intimacy to their raw brand of bare-ass discipline, which is strictly non-regulation of course, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. The discarded shorts of the victim lie under the bench nearby in a crumpled heap, a sexy detail. These highly erotic elements are augmented by the spice of bondage and boot-licking submissiveness. 

The condemned men waiting their turn look on, tied to posts and sweatily anticipating their own humiliation. Watching their comrade's fate has already induced impressive bulges in their shorts, one man's underwear is seen forcing it's way out into the open. Their half open shirts reveal manly chest hair, echoed on thighs and forearms, but their burgeoning manhood has not spared them from a less than manly punishment.

This image is overflowing with erotic elements from a bygone age of military service, enthusiatically exaggerated and lovingly drawn with an attention to sexy detail that will especially delight those whose who can remember it. The famous Royale Studio military photo series and later 'Guys in Uniform' tread similar ground and are contemporary.


Paul - Military Punishment

 The cane has always seemed a ferocious implement to me and this picture expresses just how painful it can be, thinly disguised by frivolous cartoon technique. These unfortunates have at least been allowed to hang on to their shorts and a semblance of dignity, but the absence of a patch pocket on the left buttock of the man currently under examination creates the suggestion of a bare cheek. Paul depicts shorts with single back pockets like this in other drawings, a useful substitute for nudity in less tolerant times. (click on 'hidden eroticism' label below for more)
 
As in the first picture, the glum man awaiting his dose of correction shows a degree of sexual excitement. The use of these minimal, very tight shorts might be seen as a deliberate part of their humiliation were it not for the fact that the Officers are similarly attired. In fact, the portrayal of the disciplinarian here is most unmilitary compared with the first picture. He has more the appearance of a mischievous, malevolent imp than a real person. He also turns up in other pictures by Paul. The non-human spanker is a device quite often used in this genre. I suppose it's to distance the artist from the acts he has portrayed. An equivalent to the use of classical settings for depicting slavery for example.



Paul - Raw Recruit

That distancing is conspicuously lacking here with the spanker exhibiting a degree of venom that must flow from deep inside the artist's psyche. There's also an open acknowledgement of sexual gratification playing a part in his actions. Paul's characterisations sometimes veer towards unacceptable age ambiguities which I wouldn't endorse. It's allayed here by the Military setting but much of his work is unsuitable for publication at mitchmen.

Papa-Con Post-script - Office Party

Papa-Con - Office Party

Remember Baring's Bank? Well this is Boring's Bank

A high-powered, over-confident executive gets a lesson in humility from the founding fathers after making an expensive mistake in derivative market trades (don't ask me what they are!).

This dominance by elderly gents he wouldn't normally give a second glance is perfectly delicious. At the same time the Boring Brothers seem to have perceived that behind his veneer of tidy hair, designer specs and immaculate suits there lurks a muscular, hairy beast - one to be restrained and tamed.

A new opportunity may be opening up for him here.

More Art by Papa-Con

Papa-Con - Wrestling Humiliation

 Papa-Con has produced a number of images showing older men involved in erotic wrestling situations. This one shows the eldest of two fighters suffering the humiliation of having his white beard shaved off. It has the tufted look of oriental fantasy characters and I suspect it's removal might have a deeper significance in that part of the world, perhaps similar to Samson's strength being dependent on his long hair. It could also be implying something similar to the emasculating effect of shaving off pubic hair.

White Beard is old indeed by the standards of gay erotic art (and his opponent is no spring chicken either!), but he escapes my objection to 'pensioner bashing' expressed in Part One because he is well muscled and looks as if he is perfectly capable of defending himself. He has a formidable bulge in his leotard too. The ripping of his garment at neck level (revealing a nice hairy chest) suggests that lower areas might not be immune from the razor either.

Papa-Con - Wrestling Domination

This might be the next development in the contest but I'm not sure it's part of the same series (the wrestler on the canvas here still has facial hair) but it still connects nicely. The leotard is totally shredded and nature takes it's course. The artist creates a scene of total domination but the beaten man is enjoying it, clearly. These images illustrate not only that mature men are still sexually attractive but also that inter-generational images do not have to involve overly-young men to work.

Papa-Con - Wrestling Rope Burn

This is my favourite in this group, I think, because it shows a daring variation of the standard wrestling ploy of illegally using the ropes against your opponent and the artist captures it's effectiveness splendidly. The actual mechanics of the move remain obscure but it doesn't impair the impact of the image. There are some blurry effects in the lower part of the picture which I can't quite decipher, but which seem to create the sense of twanging ropes. Another nice leotard bulge.

Papa-Con - Wrestling Role Reversal

 In this contest it's the younger man who is the loser forced to submit and take the shaving humiliation. It looks like he facing more than one opponent too who takes advantage of his predicament to tweak delicate areas, with spectacular results!

Papa-Con - Wrestling, On The Ropes

This image strives to identify the ultimate humiliation for a defeated wrestler - sprayed, shaved, milked and plugged whilst helplessly trapped in the corner. I'd like to see other ages in this fix too!



These two men are examples of a much younger age group and are condemned to suffer humiliation together suggesting a there's a relationship between them that I'm not aware of but which makes this predicament extremely uncomfortable for them. On a physical level the generously-sized butt plugs perform an equivalent task. The implication seems to be that the plugs alone induce orgasms and each man in turn must bend to receive his partner's spray. The identical boots with turned down socks they are wearing adds an extra erotic frisson.


Papa-Con  - Buddies and Tentacles

 Despite the collars, flying chains and paired posts these two characters don't seem to actually be restrained, but are simply borne aloft by tentacles in an impressionistic depiction of the ecstasy of shared sexual probing. Notice the eerie beach scene behind them. 

The reddening of their cheeks and noses looks like a case of Japanese embarrassment which might relate the seeming disparity in their ages. Ages at which there is no excuse of youthful excitability for their obvious pleasure in being comprehensively used. I've labelled them as buddies, but they might equally be family.

Papa-Con  - Tentacle Ecstasy

Papa-Con's 'wood-cut' style suits this image of overwhelming tentacle assault. The close up framing and black background simplifies the artist's task of explaining where tentacles come from and allows fragments to emerge from the ether without seeming too peculiar. His depiction of this man's aged anatomy is frank but not repulsive and the evidence of deep penetration is very apparent. His ecstasy is perhaps a wry reflection on the loneliness and lack of human contact that often comes with growing old.

Papa-Con - Mature Milkers

 Growing old together need not be lacking in excitement! These two leather enthusiasts clearly still have plenty to offer and have managed to retain impressively tight physiques. There's a striking sense of intimacy here, in direct contrast to the younger, plugged captives seen earlier. I like the dribble of recycled 'milk' on their ball gags

The design of the milking kit is impressively compact compared with the grand extraction arrangements seen in the mitchmen survey of  Milking Factories. I could imagine these devices being replicated rather easily and cheaply and set in more formal arrays to create a sort of 'artisan' Milking Factory. The thought of older men still being able to contribute to the Milking Industry is rather comforting.


Papa Con - Tight Bondage
 

This hand-milking arrangement by contrast is positively pastoral, but the tight bondage on offer might be a great incentive to some. Quite where you would source disembodied hands to upscale the process I'm not sure, but I imagine plenty of oldsters would give it a go. This Tagame-like character suffers from the surfeit of anger we expect from that man's hand but I must admit that giant ball-gag gives cause and those (attached) nip-nippers look fearsomely tight. Not enough to impair his performance though. Men always make such a fuss!

Dungeon Art by Papa-Con - The Abbey

Papa-Con - WrongAnswer

Papa-Con specialises in mature men and their mistreatment and this group of images features a middle-aged character who's fallen into the hands of some monks with unorthodox attitudes. I've often imagined a series of images in which an intrepid 'Indiana Jones' sort of explorer stumbles on the hidden treasure of a Monastry only to discover it's not abandoned, lost nor unattended. These images fit that storyline nicely. Beginning with the head monk showing his displeasure at the intruder's answers to his questions. Copious quantities of sweat indicate his ordeal has been in progress for some time.

The artist shows great panache in depicting the slap being delivered to the helplessly bound and naked victim with the judicious embellishment of a cartoon-style 'sweep' and 'impact star' . I imagine the captives arousal might be considered sacreligeous in context, but you never know with monks. 

The 'wood-cut' style with extreme, contrasting shadowing recalls the 'Devils' series by Olaf and other 80's artists. It's skillfully blended here with more sensitive detailing.


Papa-Con - The Dungeon

A birching seems an entirely appropriate method of chastisement for any unfortunate intruder. Monks use this on themselves so why would anyone else found lacking be exempt? Nevertheless, it's not a light option unless the perpetrators so choose and the double-barrelled line up suggests they won't on this occasion. Hands to feet bondage adds humiliation of an awkward posture to the victim's pain.

There's a touch of the Oriental about the poses of the monks here.

 

Papa-Con - On The Horse
 

The interrogation continues with a ride on the horse, a crude torment but delivered via a sophisticated, well-built device, which suggests there's much need of correction in this facility (or frequent intrusions by unwelcome visitors). The arched, restraint position is highly erotic with roping detail that gives a great impression of a strong man made helpless. I like the tied toe

The captive is being coaxed into an erection with slaps administered to the back of his head to encourage the desired response. This probably isn't intended to provide sexual gratification to either party (well not only that) but is perhaps a further interrogation or an attempt to draw a confession from him. The intended climax, I suspect, is indicated by the incense sticks burning in the foreground, possibly about to find a new 'niche'.

 I've featured a whole series of images at mitchmen in the past showing a device like this in use (see 'Riding the Wedge' label below) but without the luxury of seating. The captive is forced to straddle the 'wedge' which can be as sharp as the interrogators deem fit. That wide block is not the most comfortable of saddles to straddle either but the provision of a flat seat also provides a platform for the captive's balls which would otherwise dangle down at one side and be hard to get at. In this fiendish design there is also a projection of some sort at the rear which might be a pivoting wedge (or a blade like an inverted version of the office, paper guillotine). In addition, the pegs constraining the captive's thighs can lowered, it seems, pulling him down more firmly.


Papa-Con - Pagan Ritual

I noted an oriental influence before, but this image might easily be mistaken for Tagame's work in both content and style. I always think this candle torment looks worse than it really is. The total immobilisation of the captive and odd orientaion dilutes the drama too, compared with images 1 and 3 above. Surprisingly, the rendering of the monk is probably the main point of interest here and I'm glad he keeps his clothes on, thus preserving the sense of  a dispassionate and remorseless, cruel torturer.

 Papa-Con (aka Akinokina aka OkiBearz) specialises in mature men and their mistreatment. They sometimes seem to verge on the senile, with white flowing locks and wispy beards. Pensioner-bashing is unattractive to me as the beating of children but his less extreme visions of aging such as those above are very welcome.

Fetish Art by Mitchell of 'mitchmen' - Naive Model

Mitchell - Confused Model in Torn Underwear (sketch)

 He was a handsome cove right enough. He'd posed in underwear many times before, but he'd never had the garments progressively ripped apart on his body - or so he claimed. Now he was wondering if those last tatters of modesty were about to be ripped away....and what else that generous fee required of him.
