Vintage Bondage - Jeff Golden (Part 3)

1
 

Having spent two days using the threat of sexual torture to intimidate Jeff, the interrogator finally strips him completely naked and chains him to a post. If Jeff continues his non-co-operation, he will be open to serious chastisement from now on.


2

But Jeff continues to struggle against his restraints and this produces some extremely provocative positions. His arousal remains undiminished by his increasing extremity, indeed he now seems to be embracing the sexuality of it all, rubbing himself against the restraint post for stimulation.

 

3

It has become a mute struggle of wills between these men.
But it's no longer completely clear what the struggle is about.
Jeff's unflagging erotic response baffles and enrages his tormentor.

 

4

But given that he chose to reduce his captive to this restrained and naked state,
it's hard to imagine that he is totally unmoved by the simmering display of masculinity..

 

5
 

Jeff's body seems to be inviting him to respond and intervene in some way.


6

An aggressive response might put an end to this strange, compelling dream.




7

But this is not a dream, it is an important interrogation of a suspected criminal.


8

 The power of Justice must be reasserted.


9

The prisoner reminded of his parlous position in no uncertain terms.

mitchmen-style, Put him in his place!


10

But even in his anguish Jeff still remains defiant.


11

Angrily the interrogator responds with more extreme restraint.
He puts Jeff into the full X-spread, where no self-stimulation is possible.
Nor any way to evade the instruments of persuasion.


12

Conventional tongue-loosening techniques can be applied.


13

And yet the erotic aura of this prisoner refuses to subside


14

His raging defiance is unimpaired despite his complete vulnerability.


15

Chastisement curbs him but doesn't break him


16
 
In desperation, the interrogator resorts to roping his tool.
Capturing it in a sliding loop that tightens as Jeff struggles.
 

17

Once again Jeff is left overnight, naked, tethered and stretched out.
Another night in cold, uncomfortable, nagging restraint
Further attempts to wring a confession from him will be made on the morrow.

~

Some of the close-up photography in this segment, though erotic in intent, succeeds in reaching a level of artistry too and I've tried to draw that out in my sampled images. The simplicity of the set and the bondage itself ensures there's little to distract from the essence of the male body being examined. In the video itself, the focus on erotic, body display aquires an extra dimension of movement which is engrossing but it does slows the pace of the storyline and unfortunately exposes an underlying lack of realism and genuine restraint.
 
 
This mitchmen mini-series concludes in Part 4

Vintage Bondage - Jeff Golden (Part 2)

1

When Jeff's interrogation is resumed on day 2, his clothes have been restored to their normal positions.
But he's now stretched out, inside a square frame, his limbs forming an inverted 'Y' shape 

The scene has shifted away from the draughty garage door of the opening images to a backdrop of bare bricks which suggests a more serious incarceration. 


2

It's not a normal position for verbal questioning and you sense his rising panic,
suspecting that far worse is in prospect than yesterday's invasive tweaking.

 

3

Sure enough his jeans are loosened and lowered once again.
In this stretched upright position his groin feels even more exposed than before


4

But once again his own inner excitement is also revealed.
The dropping of his jeans has dragged his underpants down too
They sit across his hips revealing a fuzzy crown.



5

The interrogator's hand caresses his thigh,
easing the waistband of his underpants even further downwards....


6

Gradually revealing the root of his most private and vulnerable parts.....


7

.....and then finally grabbing the prize and squeezing the bunch.

Producing superb, delicious shaping!

 

8
 

Jeff recoils from the groping glove, backing away
but he's trapped, there's no escape for him.
His balls are twisted and tweaked mercilessly.


9

Leaving Jeff sagging, shocked, groaning and aching.....
....and yet still inexplicably(?) aroused.

The trainers and 'half mast' jeans and underwear here underline the invasive nature of the assault he has suffered far more succinctly than total nudity ever could.

 

10

He turns away to protect himself and hide his shame and embarrassment.
But the jeans around his ankles hinder this manoeuveur,
making him look clumsy and foolish, he's humiliated.

Notice that by twisting round, Jeff has pulled his wrists together, increasing the severity of what we see now is the only point of restraint. He can look down and see his sagging garments, but there's no way of retrieving them.


11

His desperate pulling at the chains now unwittingly, presents a new target to his tormentor
as his swirling, billowing shirt uncovers luscious buns.
You might not think Jeff's face is especially handsome, but his butt certainly is.

From this point onwards, Jeff's twisting and turning begin to look like a simulation of a corporal punishment situation with him seeking to escape a rain of blows directed at his tender cheeks. However, we see no hand or slapper and no sound effect other than his grunts and groans.

 

12

Nevertheless, the clenching of his buttocks and their rosy sheen in this image
certainly give the impression of a response to a sharp slap.

Even if you don't buy that interpretation it's still a great image.
Rarely can shirt-lifting have seemed such an enjoyable pastime!


13
 

His dipped head and tensed body here suggests he's bracing himself.

Jeff's loose fitting shirt and sagging underwear are only inches away from providing him with some modesty and a degree of self respect (if not actual physical protection) but in this stretched position he can't do anything about it and instead they just draw attention to the tantalising sight of his bare ass. 


14

This upward viewpoint creates a glimpse of more erotic possibilities between his legs
But this potential is not realised, regrettably. Not even with a groping glove.

This scene ends with Jeff in deep trouble

~

In a way, these old, fuzzy images continue the recent 'strip tease' theme at mitchmen, although the forced captivity context is quite different to the self-inflicted consequences of an ill-judged bet. For me the slow, involuntary stripping of a man's body is a supremely erotic ritual, but one that is almost completely ignored in modern work. On the other hand, this video only hints at physical torments that are routine and explicit fare these days. However, it draws you into looking at the temptations of succulent flesh and it's a great vehicle for Jeff's great looking, natural body. Nudity addicts need have no fear, however, there is more to come in Part 3.

'Bound To Please No 1' is still available to stream at GayHot Movies (but I can't vouch for this site)

Vintage Bondage - Jeff Golden

1

We find Jeff sitting in a garage, tied to a vintage, Spanish-style, dining chair.
An off-screen interrogator questions him about his involvement in a recent robbery.

 

2

 
Jeff protests his innocence, but his feet shuffle nervously, testing the ropes around his ankles
and rippling the jean creases defining his crotch.
 
 The grubby trainers suggest a street-wise character



 
3

The questioning continues, but when we next see Jeff, his shirt has been ripped open.
It begins to dawn on him that this is not to be a normal interrogation.
 
Personally I'd have thought the garage location and domestic chair were pretty good clues that this is not an official Police investigation!
 
 


4

 
Jeff's protestations of ignorance and innocence do him no good,
Soon he's been reduced to his underwear.....
 
 Underwear which looks refreshingly real, used and worn-in (warm, dare I say?)
Not like it's brand new and just been got out of a packet for the shoot.



5

 
His jeans are now dropped round his calves......
which makes him feel half-undressed
both vulnerable and foolish at the same time .
 
 


6

 
However, a graphic bulge in his underwear (beautifully accented by the creases) betrays growing excitement.
 
 


7

 
It does not go unnoticed by his interrogator, whose gloved hand grabs the lump and tweaks it.
 


 
8

Jeff yelps - in surprise as much as pain.
He looks up pleadingly at his tormentor,
as if dreading what might happen next




9

 
He soon finds out.
The gloved hand yanks down his underpants,
revealing the engorged tackle within.
 


10

 
The interrogator siezes his cock with both hands,
tweaking it and squeezing his balls in a teasing manner.
Jeff's continued insistence that he knows nothing seems rather unimportant now. 



 
11

Content with this aggressive groping, the interrogator breaks off
 leaving Jeff exposed and writhing awkwardly, defences down.
But he won't be left alone for long 


 
12

 
When we return, Jeff's underpants are no longer visible.
A pair of ropes have been tied across his lap
and his cock and balls seem deliciously plumped up

 


13

 
As the angle shifts we can see the ropes are actually looped tightly around his tackle
trapping them, separating it from his body and preventing any return to quiescence. 
As he struggles the ropes cut into his thighs 




14

 
Jeff shifts position trying to relieve the discomfort
but he only succeeds in shifting sideways.
As he does so, the loop of rope slides round his scrotum,
tugging against the tender flesh.
 
 
This sliding, running loop of rope around the scrotum is a trademark restraint of this bondage series. It's the sort of mild, sexy, rope experiment that any curious 'newbie' might try at home. When it's in the control of another person, however it becomes a 'tether' and, once tightened, the sexy, sliding effect becomes abrasive and a self-inflicted torture for those who resist.
 
 
15


The lights go out, leaving Jeff alone to ponder his confession.

 
During the night it will get colder in the garage,
his restricted, sitting position will get more uncomfortable,
and his joints and muscles will stiffen.
But the chafing rope across his thighs and around his tackle 
will punish every movement he makes.
 
 ~
 
To be continued........

This scene is taken from 'Bound To Please No 1' from Bacchus Studio/FilmCo (1980's) .
It's the first video of a series in which rope master Scott Arden torments a number of different studs (though he's rarely visible on screen himself). The bondage is quite light, indicative rather than realistic but I like the prominence and imaginative use of clothing (which is something of a mitchmen fetish) also the groping, gloved hand which is highly suggestive of control and artfully displays the model's tackle to great advantage!

The captive, Jeff Golden is not exactly a household name in gay circles although the site I checked described him as 'legendary'. He had average guy looks but a nice smooth body and very photogenic tackle (both of which feature in part 2 of this mitchmen posting). He also appeared in Spank 'em Hard, a video with a well-known cover image though I'm not familar with it's contents. Spanking is a genre which is not a passport to instant facial recognition I would say. He also seems to have done lots of straight movies with some of the stars of that era like Ron Jeremy.

101 Uses For A Belt - No 5, Weaponised Bling


 This belt might have once been a trophy too, it's blingy character having great appeal to a certain type of man, appeal even greater than the basic, showy, belt buckle beloved of cowboys and flaunted by others in previous postings in this mitchmen series.

However, this impressively-built man has not simply draped the belt casually round his neck as did Alexsander Freitas in Belt Use No 4 , he's wrapped it round his forearm. This could simply be a way of showing it off to us, but it's somewhat reminiscent of the arm bindings used by fighters. 

Used in that context the studs and stones decoratively embedded in it would become quite dangerous. So there's an element of menace here which the stony, almost belligerent expression of the muscular model and the skull and crossbones motif of his buckle do absolutely nothing to dispel. 

Is this the arm equivalent of the studded, knuckleduster beloved of street-fighters?
(Not to mention queer-bashers)

Is it a sort of 'forearm duster'?

Knuckledusters and zombie knives now illegal at home | North Devon Gazette 

I dare say our model here is as much a pussy as everyone else and might point to the defensive qualities of this arrangement. Let's face it, if you walk around wearing a bejewelled belt like this, you need to be prepared for the unexpected. In the picture, he actually seems to be clutching it to his chest as though someone has just demanded that he surrender it. Probably just the photographer who provided it in the first place.

Ehrlik - Booty of the Ivory Isles

Ehrlik - Booty of the Ivory Isles

 A paradise where beautiful men seem to grow on trees, ripe for the plucking.

The low-hanging fruit will always attract opportunists.

~

The elegant beauty of the blond victim here and the cinematic use of colour and an idyllic setting contrasts starkly with the crude nature of the abduction and the coarse, lumbering bulk of it's perpetrator (whose strength is nicely characterised in those mighty shoulders). 

The big man's attire suggests he is a local but the colouring and tidy appearance of the blond makes me wonder if he is a tourist, snatched from his sun-worshipping on the beach for the beast's entertainment. I can imagine his sexy pair of red, speedos lying forlornly on the sand where the abductor discarded them, a puzzling clue for his friends to find when they notice he is missing.

We don't know what the motivation is for this little drama but the ass-up carrying position of the unconscious victim and the punned title are both pretty suggestive.
