Vintage Milk Outlet by Casey

Casey - Milkbar

 This vintage drawing sits nicely alongside 'Milk On The Go' by Catrache as an example of a retail outlet for ManMilk to set alongside the mitchmen Milking Factory series. 

The unwilling 'donors' in this case are three Policemen who have been taken hostage and strung up from the ceiling with their dicks out, dangling like the milk udders of a cow. Patrons can help themselves to a creamy top on their beer (or an undiluted 'shot' of  copcum if they can reach that high with their mouths). The sign on the end of the bar seems to imply that this sort of arrangement is a regular practice there (all genuine straight men, note). A unique selling point.

The picture abounds with interesting detail, my favourite is the man in the foreground dressed in skimpy, belted shorts and pec-clinging vest/singlet. The man at the entrance, seemingly on his way home from work is also inexplicably fascinating, I suppose it's the touch of normality in a crazy scene. The raincoat draped over his arm is a delightful retro touch (remember when men used to do that?).

I've not seen any other picture by Casey and there's no chance of a link. I recently saw this picture attributed to DonJon, but I'm inclined to doubt that. It's far more detailed than his usual images (see below) and the cops here are American not British. It must date from around his time in the 60's and it has all the venomous hate for the Police and their homophobia that produced the Stonewall protest in that era, although I must say that the concept credits them with more spunk than you might expect. The cigar poised to burn would certainly fit with his work and stylistically there are similarities in the forming of the faces, but the lines are softer than his.

DonJon - Military Kilt Strapping

This image is classic DonJon and highly erotic. The muscular NCO administering the punishment topless looks great with the peak of his cap raked steeply over his eyes (exactly in the style of the Scots Guards) adding an extra touch of ruthless purpose. His exaggerated shoulders and pecs amplify the impression of strength. The use of a riding crop to lift the kilt clear of the unfortunate victim's ass is an classic touch of military delicacy and contempt for the Squaddie he has to punish. Of course he isn't wearing anything underneath.

More Pictures By Irwin Olaf

Irwin Olaf - Male Nude No 3 (from Skin Deep)

I recently published one of Irwin Olaf's best known photographs, 'Joy' (feat. an exploding champagne bottle) but he's also produced other strikingly erotic images, not entirely without fetish interest. This spectacular example is one of the best.

Seen as an academic, art pose, it displays the male body by showing a man consciously displaying his body. It's an unnatural pose that stretches muscles and bunches flesh which is ideal for an academic study. Although he is nude there is no tawdry explicitness, even his bottom is largely hidden in shadow.

He faces a panelled and elaborately painted wall, which is suggestive of stately homes and antique artefacts. It's as if he is imagining himself as part of that world, as a piece of art. Even the colour tones of his skin are morphing to the shades of the Old Masters.

Seen as an erotic and fetish pose, we are struck by how attractive his lean, muscled body and ginger hair are. Also how passive and totally submissive his display is. It's as if he's offering himself up, but if there's a recipient for that offer we can't see them. 

The pose itself makes him highly vulnerable - and tempting. That's not just because his hands and feet are tucked behind him but because his whole weight is resting on them, making any defence or recovery to a normal position dependent on exceptional bodily strength (or on rolling sideways onto the floor in an undignified manner). We see too how close his hands are to each other and so are his toes. They seem to cry out for restraint, thereby sealing his ultimate surrender.

Erwin Olaf - Squares, Tulips, 1986

If you remember the exploding champagne image you probably remember this one too. It was popular as a greeting card design in that era for fairly obvious reasons - who wouldn't want a giant bouquet from a naked muscle hunk? It's not hard to see phallic connections in the shape of the tulips and they sprout from his groin in a way that is not totally dissimilar to the infamous champagne eruption. He clutches the area tightly as though trying to hold it in or shield it from us.

Irwin Olaf - After Rodin III (The Thinker)

This image might be seen as a parody of Rodin's The Thinker although that figure study, suggestive of momentous philosophising, pretty much parodies itself. Olaf gives the idea a tangible context relating to more mundane preoccupations. A young man pondering his life and it's issues. The glimpse of moccasins and poised toes suggest he might be a dancer. The colours of the rough, bare walls seem to hint at the settings of Dutch Masters once again, but the towel and simple, aging stool suggest a modern shower room, perhaps one used for dance classes. 

The subject's nudity and isolation in this austere place of contemplation seem to say something about the profundity of what he has just learned. It's also open to fetish interpretation as the portrayal of a prisoner, stripped of all his worldly goods and contemplating his future. Freshly showered, perhaps he's slated to take his place on the auction block shortly where strangers will bid to acquire him and make him their own. Is he thinking of the pleasurable life and the people he's being taken away from - or the unknown challenges and hard labour that lie ahead of him?

Irwin Olaf - Male Nude No 1 (from Skin Deep)

A naked man kissing a bare wall and pressing himself against it with arms symbolically held behind his back. This almost seems the stuff of religious fervour, as if divine forgiveness is to be found in inanimate buildings (as well as inanimate statues!). There's the same sense of vulnerability and submissiveness here as in the first, kneeling picture. The sense again of being one with the walls that enclose him. However this picture also has the sense of solitary isolation seen in the 'Thinker' image just above.

It's easy to imagine this as a punishment scene, the classic 'corner time' after a spanking, seeking the cooling consolation of a bare wall. Or another slave-to-be finding the familiar confining walls a comfort in his last moments before mounting the rostrum and facing those who want to have him and take him away. 

Unknown - Setting An Example

I recently found this image, purely by chance. It wasn't attributed to Olaf but it looks very similar in style to the preceding images and invokes the same theme of isolation using walls and a simple prop. The artwork on the wall and beamed ceiling likewise bring in the 'Dutch' theme. 

This picture inevitably invokes the same irreverent thoughts of childhood punishments upcycled for a grown man, not so much setting but making an example of him. It's a short path from there to the idea of an improvised auction rostrum, with the buyers about to enter the room to view the poor man or perhaps it's an on-line sale where he can't even see who wants him nor how much he is willing to bid to get him. It's hard to see this fine fellow being despatched to the fields to earn him keep.

Irwin Olaf - Title not known

I wouldn't normally include such a assertively heterosexual image in this blog but the beauty of this man's backside warrants making an exception. If I were being mischievous I might suggest he's putting straight life on the shelf here, on hold while he finds a man who will worship it (etc.) properly. 

There are more echoes of the dance world here of course and leg musculature to match, but that could be any weight he is lifting, another man say - or an inanimate object like a box or a rock, if I were to invoke the spectre of slave labour again.

 

Irwin Olaf - Fashion Victim, Gucci (2000)

The imagery here is less subtle, how those who slavishly follow fashion are trapped and blinded by the organisations and individuals who orchestrate it. Of course this is not really slavery, it's completely voluntary, a compulsion to conform to the views of 'leaders'. In the age of the internet it's interesting to see how easy it is for individuals to set themselves up as 'influencers' without having any obvious qualifications for the role. 

Olaf seems to suggest it's an arousing obsession with a sexual dimension. He also uses the word victim, but that's not right either, no-one has put that bag over his head. It's more akin to an ostrich putting it's head in the sand. I'm no expert on fashion (ah, you already guessed!) but this man's socks and sandals seem somewhat dubious to me.

There's also a Chanel variant in this imagery and there's an interesting comparison with a very similar theme depicted by RW Richards.

Art by Spacron - 2. Sexy Predicaments

 Read Part 1 of this Article -  Sexy Boys

Spacron - Don't Forget Your Prostate Exam

Spacron seems to delight in embarrassing men of a certain type - i.e. chunky, hairy and straight-acting. There are two examples in the opening pictures of Part 1 of this survey. However, every man, even butch construction workers and the like, should have their prostate checked as they get older so this medical scenario is a totally legitimate excuse - or at least it is as long as the Doctor behaves himself. 

The patient here seems to look askance at his dangling cock, probably wondering (if he's true to dumb-jock stereotyping) why that is needed for a rectal examination. You can hardly blame the Doctor, though, since his patient is already anticipating his first penetration with what looks like excitement rather than dread.

Interestingly, the eye chart on the wall is back to front. That might be because the artist decided to reverse the image for aesthetic reasons, however the text on the weighing machine and the device on the wall with an electronic time display are not reversed. Whether by accident or design it helps create a sense of a crazy, parallel universe where normal behaviour (like a Doctor respecting his patients and using only one finger for a prostate examination) is turned on it's head.

Spacron - Comrades

The sight of a naked man being carried off by a soldier might spark thoughts of enslavement, pillage etc for some, but the title tells us of a more honourable motivation - the rescue of a comrade-in-arms. Quite why he is totally naked isn't clear. The obvious explanation is that he had been captured and tortured (or abused at least). His rescuer's bare top and sagging trousers also speak of privation and extremity but give the image a remarkably sexy twist. 

The bleak wasteland behind them looks like it must be a very hot and desolate place. The glow on the horizon, partially hidden by smoke or clouds might be the sun rising on another arid day in the desert. But it could equally be a distant battle, still continuing as they make their escape to safety and - dare one suggest - mutual consolation? Before that though, this hero faces another day of trying to survive and keep his comrade alive with him.

This is another example of this artist's talent for choosing simple images which laud the qualities of men while infusing them with a touch of the homoerotic.

Spacron - DDT Inverted

A wrestling scenario readily provides opportunities for depicting the humiliation of big, butch men. This backwards leaning, reverse head-lock is more common in erotic wrestling than the Pro version and like most holds that stress the back, it's potentially dangerous. That threat makes it extremely effective as a way of detaining an opponent in a very erotic pose since a sensible victim knows he must exercise caution in trying to escape. 

The artist has chosen to imagine the fighters in the nude and made them very sweaty. He's given them a glittery finish that doesn't look quite real but creates the effect of a special type of fight in which bodily display is as important as fighting prowess. He's not only dispensed with the customary showy costumes but the other distracting paraphernalia of wrestling as well, reducing it to a basic ring (with intriguing twisted ropes). In other words he's deliberately extracted a simpler image to create a striking, erotically-flavoured tableau.

The DDT in the title of this piece puzzled me but it seems to simply refer to a Japanese Wrestling Circuit, called Dramatic Dream Team which deliberately parodies WWE (if such a thing is possible). That connection may have inspired the unusual skin finish.

Looking back at the previous image 'Comrades', you might spot another inspiration from wrestling.

Spacron - Speleologist meets the Beast

The two military comrades we saw above were probably not fleeing from this situation, although the unfortunate man being upended here also has an attractive military look about him. Speleologist means the study or exploration of caves by the way, in case you didn't know, I certainly didn't! So this picture might be subtitled as 'Cave man meets The Cave Man'. 

It looks like we're looking at an Indiana Jones type of scenario here. While exploring with his trusty hammer and pencil, he's stumbled across a strange, subterranean room of some grandeur. It's the find of a lifetime, but then he discovers to his horror that it's inhabited by an enormous, hairy beast (we've all been there). 

The creature is unexpectedly wearing a leather fetish head cage or muzzle (á la Hannibal Lector) suggesting he's being held a captive for the public good. Our hero hardly has time to register that odd detail before his clothes are ripped from his body and at this point seem to have disappeared altogether (yet surely the yeti can't have eaten them all!). Only his singlet vest remains, clinging alluringly to his sweaty torso (and very nicely modelled too by the artist). It might have been better if it hadn't since one senses that this torso-flattering garment has inflamed the desire of the sex-starved creature and the rest (as they say) is buggery.

This is a very idiosyncratic picture which defies rational explanation but is nevertheless a great domination scenario. This composition also seems to be based on a wrestling move, the standing ankle lock submission hold, but adapted it to a more devious purpose. Once again there's an essential simplicity and balance in the composition which is very satisfying.

Spacron - Tied Up in the Woods

Spacron has an eclectic taste in skin colourings and races and these two stand at the extremes of that range. The white guy here is so pale that his jet-black hair seems genetically impossible but I have seen men like this. His face is a remarkable blend of the manly and cute and despite his plight his expression shows surprise and curiosity rather than fear. Spacron's varied faces are another laudable feature of his work, showing an attention to personality that renderers often neglect in favour of the action. 

The dark skinned local resident wearing a skimpy loincloth is a tricky stereotype these days but there's no sense of patronisation here just the meeting of sexy men from two different worlds. It seems like they share a common strand of sexuality, since the captive seems completely undaunted by his predicament. 

This image has been sanitised in an unusual way which is easier with a render than conventional fixed art. The native's hand is shaped and held as though to grasp his erection aiming at the captive's ass, but the cock itself is missing. 

Spacron - Josh in the clutches of the 'Ndrangheta*

A classic 'hero in trouble' predicament with a naïve-looking 'Josh' tied up and naked in the hub of an organised crime gang and facing torture to persuade him to 'spill'. To the right, oodles of money and gold on open display provide an ominous indicator of what is at stake and surely lessen his chances of ever getting away to tell of it. To the left, a selection of instruments available to torment him if the weight on his tackle and the hammer poised above it don't do the trick. 

The files in the background suggest a 'business' of some complexity demanding serious record keeping. In the wrong hands it's also seriously incriminating evidence, in all probability. If Josh didn't know 'too much' before, he must do now.

Josh doesn't look the type to be a threat to this sinister pair by design, but they obviously believe he knows something. Whatever the case it looks like the die is irrevocably cast unless there's a rescuer to hand. Imagine Josh's gratitude then! Any offers?

*The 'Ndrangheta is a prominent Italian, Mafia-type organised crime syndicate based in Calabria

Spacron - Crimes of Passion

This extraordinary picture flirts with the taboo of death more explicitly. A scantily-clad man points a gun at a couple lying piled on top of each other on a bed. They appear to be either dead or unconscious. A book lies open on the bed as though hinting at a deep motivation. The industrial room styling also hints at darker interests. However the unnatural arrangement of the bodies suggests a third party involvement. 

It's not clear if the gunman has just arrived and discovered them or is responsible for their fate himself and the title does not shed much light on that. In any event he holds the gun in the manner of a professional, wary in case they might be able to get up and attack him. 

For me, the most erotic aspect of the image is the gunman's smoothly muscular physique and his white satin G-string which makes a strong case for the garment as legitimate attire (despite the legacy of less snazzy usage from the 1950's). It's sexy nature might point to a personal involvement in the narrative but it's equally possible he's just rushed in from his bed in an adjacent flat having heard some noise as these two met their fate. I wish he lived next to me!

Spacron - TJ Perfoms

The final image is part of a series in which a Police suspect, 'TJ', is arrested, stripped and induced to perform for his interrogators. TJ himself is another memorable character but the stock Police uniforms and skin tight shirts are less successful. That contrast however serves to focus us on TJ's admirable physical attributes and the poignancy of his position. The flying in-tray suggests he's applying himself to the unwanted task with great vigour. You can see Part 1 at the DeviantArt link below.

Classic Homoerotic Images - 2

Joy, from 'Squares' series by Irwin Olaf

It's hard to imagine this picture causing controversy but it was apparently banned by Gay Times back in the eighties (yes, it's that old! See clarification below). Admittedly it's a not very subtle reference to ejaculation but that strikes us as being saucy these days, not pornographic. This image isn't even gay, intrinsically, but quickly achieved an iconic status in gay media when it first appeared.

The detail of the cascading foam is intriguing, it doesn't quite look as you would expect it too look and we can see it is still shooting from the bottle when a quite a lot is already running down the boy's thigh and dripping from the underside of the bottle. Was it done in one take or were whole crates of bubbly needed to get to this image?  However it's been created it's quite an impressive technical achievement.
