Vintage Bondage - Vince Caizza by Kris

 

Photo by Kris of Chicago showing Vince Caizza 

He's kneeling submissively, head bowed, wearing only a posing pouch

His hands are tied behind and pulled straight by a tether.

Nude variant by mitchmen blog

This pose still had dark connotations 15 years after the brutality of WW2.

There's a subtle political message about sending young men off to war

at a time when the US intervention in Vietnam was increasing.

Bondage Art by Bud, The Smithy

Another slant on the cowboy theme by Bud. 
Bud was active in the 70's, usually producing 1-off cartoons for gay magazines. 

This strip is more a ambitious story combining humour with extremely sexy artistry.

1. Cheeky Comment

A great study of a hairy torso sets us off on the right foot

The finger and devilish grin from his apprentice is just asking for trouble

2. Rugby Tackle

A nice sense of  motion and another sexy torso depiction, 

this time of the young man's arched body, 

suddenly his jeans have opened and dropped

His look of surprise is priceless

3. Tied Up

A sexy conjunction of crotch and ass crack

It's hard to tell if the young man is liking this or suffering.

4. Stripped Naked

Getting the jeans off but not the boots first might entail some rip and strip.

Their owner looks spaced out anyway, puckering up for a kiss?

5. Hot Iron

The bottom up is usually the preparation for sexy fun

or he might have expected a fatherly spank for his cheek.

This hot development seems to have confused and deflated him.

The Smith looks focussed and determined.

6. Branded

Chastened but seemingly ready for more.

Bud makes light of this fearsome S&M rite in less genteel times, 

but don't try this at home!

Mitchell's Cowboy Folio - 1 Bunkhouse Bondage

Mitchell - Blind Man's Buff in the Bunkhouse

Also known as 'poking a tongue'.

 

Cowboys know to expect a 'settling in' period at a new ranch.

Every bunkhouse has it's 'characters' and peculiar rites of passage.

If he's not familiar with this one, I expect he'll soon learn the ropes.

But he might be a bit saddle sore tomorrow morning 

~

This is one of my earliest images and it was inspired by the 'tongue' image which featured in the recent, Classic Homoerotic Images post. If I remember rightly the tied up and blindfolded buckaroo was also based on a Colt image of around the same period, but I suppose the musculature tells you that.

Classic Homoerotic Images 8

This joyous image by Colt of a leather man joyfully celebrating his sexuality and the freedom to express it marked the high point of 'liberation' around 1980 when anything seemed possible. Men who didn't subscribe to this magazine probably saw the cover advertised. It couldn't have failed to warm the cockles of their heart. Despite the leather referencing, it seems to embrace the whole gay community, what gay men shared rather than what differentiated them. It was an assertion that gay men were masculine, happy and balanced as individuals.

Colt - Gene Winchester

The full image, seen in this slightly different variant, was rather more racy, more assertively gay you might say. Gene Winchester clutching his crotch and failing to hide a generous bush of pubic hair. You might see PlayGuy's 1978 cover adaptation as a cop-out, but it's actually rather effective at implying what you don't see and they did have a full-frontal, centre page spread of this model inside. 

This magazine, by aping the title of the famously 'acceptable' heterosexual publication, represented a stab at equalisation, an attempt to secure a permanent place for gay magazines on the 'normal' bookshelves, away from the sleazy top shelf. Consequently the contents rarely lived up to the promise of the cover. It did managed to survive, however, without further compromise  until 2009 by which time the boys of Bel Ami had elbowed Colt musclemen out of the way.

I adapted this imagery myself in one of my early pictures - see next post.

Brian Lamprill and Tibor Urgay in a sexy stalemate for Royale

I've now completed the full post of Royale Studio's set from 1959 showing Brian Lamprill and Tibor Urgay wrestling in the nude. Well, sort of wrestling, but it's sexy stuff. The men are genuinely nude and the contortions required to avoid frontal exposure are sexy in themselves.  To the best of my knowledge this group has never been assembled since Royale folded.

There's also a slightly controversial set showing Lamprill posing solo in a WW2 German helmet. You can locate it by clicking on Lamprill's 'model index' link in the right sidebar of the Royale Studio blog.

The old Royale Studio favourite, 'Unapproved School', is the latest upgrade to articles previously posted at the mitchmen blog. It's No 8 in the storyette list. Again it's an interim post covering Part 1 only. The rest to follow shortly.

If you are interested in the history and background of Royale Studio, there have also been updates to the 'Royale Studio Timeline' post at the blog which charts how it all started, how Hussar studio was spun off and when it all ended after a short but spectacular career. There's a new article about 110 Denbigh St which is where Royale was based for it's whole existence and a discussion of the location of the garden used for shots in 'Unapproved School' and other early Royale sets.

Jordan James Beautifully Bound

Handcuffs, ball-gag and chastity cage

for a stud who's cute, muscular and fully shaved

and knows how to look submissive.

Excellent!

There's a perverse pleasure in seeing a pro blogger silenced!

A boyfriend's appreciation

Better take no chances on an escape.

Ready for bed?

Maybe that racy, chastity blog wasn't such a good idea.

See clip of Jordan being cuffed and ring-gagged 

to overcome his fear of cocks (I jest!)
