Jero again - Mixed Fortunes

Jero - Spanking The Apprentice

 Jero's latest spanking images cement his position amongst the great artists of this genre, building on the spectacular 'Chase at the Spank Clinic' featured in Part 2 of this series. This image is part of a new group featuring OTK hand spanking and is the best one in my view because it locates the action in a building construction site and populates it with suitably butch hunks. I'm living in the middle of a building site at the moment and can vouch for the authenticity of clashes of temperaments between workmen and their foremen. I haven't yet witnessed an outcome such as this, nor such a hunky workman, but I live in hopes!

Jero - Spanking Fundamentals - Special Attention

The remaining images in this spanking group are centred on some sort of further education establishment and thankfully Jero makes it clear that these men are of an age. An age where they do not expect to be spanked and are not awed by their instructors. Quite how they end up, therefore, over the man's knee in little or no clothing as guinea pigs in a spanking demo is not clear. I suppose it can be put down to male bravado but that will  not impress their peers when agony is seen to kick in. An involuntary ejaculation in front of them all would be an even more embarrassing outcome. But it might earn him new friends! 

These images owe a lot to Franco of course but Jero puts his own stamp on them. If you look at the links below you should be able to find more explicit variants where the spankee is unable to contain his sexual pleasure at being dominated and punished by another man.

Jero - Milking Station

Some excellent milking scenarios also feature amongst Jero's latest work. This machine is a great design and I love the big beast of a man he has created for it to drain. Indeed his oversize reproductive equipment suggests he might have been especially bred (or adapted) to be a prolific producer. The positioning of the restraints and the anal post imposes a forward arching pose on him that must be stressful but the curve of his body makes a pleasing intersection with the draining tube, creating the impression of an eagerness to defy restraint and enter the sheath to give up his juice. He stands astride the machine and an arm that connects the front and rear devices passes between his legs. It looks as if the arm can rock to simultaneously stimulate and milk him. The chunky design of the extractor seems complex but low tech and the grubby surroundings of the milking pen add to the impression of a business-like exploitation of the unfortunate 'bull'.

There's a great animated version of this image at 'X'

Jero - Rest Time is Over

It's nice to see that this establishment recognises the limitations of even the biggest of men and has allowed this one rest periods to recover and recharge. You can see the care with which the young, neatly clad attendant replaces the extraction tube over his beefy milker's cock, presumably having just refreshed its lube and fluffed it back into arousal. 

The horrified expression on the milk provider's face reflects his knowledge that the pleasure of a rest period and the brief touch of a human hand is about to be followed by a lengthy shift of repetitive service to the insatiable demands of the machine.

Jero - Locker Room Excitement

It's tough on young jocks, boiling with testosterone-driven impulses that they have been forbidden to discharge in the romantic domain. They can be distracted from them by sporting exertions and cold showers but only temporarily. Fortunately the Locker Room provides a haven for indulging in illicit relief. But even there, the presence of other young men, even if doing exactly the same thing, is a minefield creating temptations of it's own and risks of being misunderstood in many ways.  

Jero - Meagre Output

What College Jock therefore could resist the offer of a chance to jerk off openly in a non-judgemental situation and earn himself a better grade for his trouble? This young man is too inexperienced to realise that the process that gives him so much pleasure and makes such a mess in his pants, actually produces rather small quantities of fluid, so the task of filling a pint-sized jar to gain his credits is proving to be more draining than he imagined it would when he volunteered. The figures on the screen spell it out for him and confronted with that physical reality he learns a useful life lesson and feels doubts about his vaunted, physical abilities that never occurred to him before.

This accommodating Professor is straight out of the Franco playbook of course. Those who manipulate young men in this way do not cast their volunteers aside lightly. He's rigged his machine to stimulate and create pleasure to keep him going as long as possible, but there's a also back-up function that won't release him until he's finished the job. Looks like a long night ahead.

Jero - Milking Assistant

This variation on the theme seems to envisage a public 'donation station' where any man can just walk in and plug in. The machine itself is entirely self-serving but the visual stimulation displayed on the screen may not cover every man's interests. It's nice to know that there's a medically trained assistant on hand to cater for 'special needs' and help those who falter. Unfortunately the privacy of the donation room also provides tempting opportunities for less professional interventions.

Jero - Do Not Let Him Cum

This fantasy is the direct opposite of endless milking torments. The Clinic is testing the ultimate effect of large doses of a new sexual stimulant when the subject is aroused but prevented from reaching orgasm. The volunteer is fed the substance via a drip and the dorky medic has been given the task of keeping the stud aroused but denying him release. As the intimidating matron leaves to attend to other matters, it seems the Orderly is as much part of the experiment as the stud, presently thrashing about under his control and helpless, ready to unleash his pent-up desires on the first viable recipient. 

Jero - A Jogger's Wrong Turn

Beds are dangerous places in Jero's universe, not the safe have we think they are. Here a jogger ponders his mistaken choice of a new route that led to him into this predicament. This is an AI upgrade of an earlier image by Jero and the jogger's silky shorts draped over the foot of the bed are one of the pleasing improvements. Also, unusually for AI, the skin tones have become more realistic. The scene outside has become wintery and cold as though reflecting the jogger's prospects in a long term perspective, not just the fleeting darkness of night, which featured in the earlier version. I have retained the original, more informative title, Jero changed it to "An Interesting Start To The Evening" for this one.

Jero - Left Alone By His Date

This guy is in a similar predicament, but it seems like he walked into it with his eyes wide open. The excitement of being tied up by a sexual partner has tempted many a man, attracted to the idea of being serviced and learning about the darker secrets of their partner. Jero has created a good impression of tight X-restraint here, not painful but highly restrictive. The way the outline of the foot end of the bed fits into the spread of his legs seems to amplify that sense of the young man being stretched. 

It's all too easy for the top to become bored or distracted in this situation. Being abandoned while some interesting toy or implement is retrieved is exciting for the captive, but being left for a phone call or a domestic task is frustrating, annoying even. But as his time alone stretches out, trust is tested. For the first time he looks at his restraints wondering if it is even possible for him to escape. Inner doubts may start to surface now - and possibly fears. Give him more time and he'll probably panic.

Jero - Leftovers

'Leftovers' puts forward an outcome you might not have thought of, with a Hotel fetish date turned into a fiendish prank by a Top who called Room Service to release his Bottom instead of doing it himself. The victim of this joke seems to be unaware that his partner is even gone, engrossed in the music while he waits for normal service to be resumed. The dorky bell boy summoned to 'fetch my bag' finds an situation that is amusing but you sense his mind is wondering if it's a golden opportunity that isn't going to come his way very often. This man may be someone very important. Is it worth risking his job to take advantage of his inviting view?

Jero - Homage to 'Military Ball' by Etienne

Jero is not the first gay artist to point out the potential danger of staying in shared accommodation. This image is an AI update of one of the opening images of Etienne's 'Military Ball' storyette (one to set alongside Planet-Gay's exciting enhancement of the desert abduction scene in Sailors Beware'). In the story, the sleeping Naval Cadet is gang-banged by a gang of West Pointer's in naval disguise. Supposedly, it's to rule him out of the upcoming Army v Navy Football match but we know better don't we?  

This image sees the intruders entering his bedroom. It's hard to improve on Etienne's original portrayal of the sleeping victim (below) but the AI version introduces more realism to his pose and some nice pec highlighting from the open door. The details of the  helmet and clothes rack are also corrected. The invaders though are not modelled in the same level of realism and the drama of their sudden entry, full of excitement, has been lost.

As far as I know he hasn't gone further into the story yet, but I'd hope to see more, this is one of Etienne's more scrappy works and much could be done to pull it together.

Etienne/Stephen's Original Military Ball image of the Invader's Entrance

Notice the weird proportions of the helmet hanging on the wall behind the door.

Jero - Yacht Accessory 

You'd think a sun bed on a private yacht would be safe from the outside interference which afflicts the men in the preceding images. The disparaging description of it's user in Jero's title does not detract from his decorative appeal, particularly when coated with oil and clad in a skimpy, red thong designed to draw the eye, which it undoubtedly will while he dozes in the sun. I suppose the implication is that he is the owner's lazy son or pick-up.

Jero - Yacht Accessory - Rough Seas

The sequel turns him into an object of a more explicitly sexual desire, helplessly bound with legs wide open, revealing more of the flimsy under-strap of his bikini. Is this the result of the crew rebelling? Or have they been boarded by pirates? He stares in horror as one of the ruffians prepares to join him on the sunbed, probably armed with a sharp blade or a pair of scissors to get that **** bikini off!

Jero Taster - Military Life

Jero - Stars or Stripes (mod by mitchmen)

 Etienne graphically portrayed the arbitrary demands of service life with a GI providing sexual service to Sergeant Storm in order gain a pass to see his girlfriend. This take on the subject by Jero is much less orthodox. His scenario involves a sergeant being on the receiving end of arbitrary duties, being forced to wear an embarrassingly skimpy, bikini brief. 

I have invented an arbitrary bed-time inspection procedure to account for this request, with the 'Crazy Colonel' inspecting the Sergeant's pouch as closely as the state of his bed. Probably putting both of them to the test before turning in himself. It's demeaning for a man of the Sergeant's standing to be treated in this way but he seems have already succumbed to wearing the 'Stars' brief, which is more accommodating but still backless. Presumably he wears it under his normal uniform, so that the Colonel can casually communicate his interest in his ass on the parade ground, without arousing the other ranks. Suspicions that is.

An alternative scenario is for the poor man to be detailed to provide table service in the Officer's mess, where his pouch is progressively presented at face level to all those seated round the table, with his hands otherwise engaged of course. Meanwhile his bare backside is offered up to the adjacent diner as he bends to serve. However it seems even more of an improbable assignment for a Sergeant.

This picture is a derivative of an earlier image by Jero in which the muscle hunk is non-military and simply pondering two, equally sized garments with no-one else present.

Mitchell's Cowboy Folio 13

Mitchell - Cowboy Buddies

This post features two drawings, never before published, which were amongst my earliest homoerotic fantasies. The first is a romantic imagining of two cowboy buddies wrestling with friendship and sexuality. The younger-looking one has a stout neck, which seems to symbolise his developing manhood. He impulsively pulls his buddy close, feeling inside his open jeans subconsciously as his libido responds to their closeness. His friend, whose stubbled jaw suggests he is slightly more mature, looks down at the hand on his waist, which is a more intimate embrace than his more casual arm around his buddy's shoulder. He seems unsure, but does not resist. His crotch bulge is already close to touching his friend's thigh, and he seems to be poised to manoeuvre round behind him. That might simply suggest he has protective feelings, but puts him in pole position to respond to further developments with those undone jeans.

Mitchell - Cowboys in the Stable Stalls

This image has a more illicit feel, with a different pair of cowboys skulking in the stables in order to explore their feelings. There's a sense of openness beyond the screen and to the left of them as well, implying a vulnerability to someone discovering them at any moment.  

The picture has an ambiguous element of bondage, with one seemingly tied to the stall screen by his wrists, presumably to prevent his interference while his buddy unbuckled and lowered his jeans. It may be just an erotic game. In any event, the bondage doesn't seem to be very demanding and the 'captive' doesn't seem to be resisting very much. He simply watches as his friend makes a frontal feint towards his dick, possibly unaware that he's simultaneously manoeuvring his thumb sneakily towards the cleft in his buttocks.

I love the sinuous figure of the captive here and the sense of an embrace (in both pictures) which is about control and desire as much as affection. Submission without domination. Both these images have been tidied up and clarified for publication, but have not been substantially altered.

This article adds to my original A-Z review of Oliver Frey's work

Frey - Tennis Victory

 This image was my first glimpse of Oliver Frey's incredible talent for portraying the energetic wrestling of men gripped by lust. The image of bare buttocks pressed against the net still sends a shiver up my spine! In 1970's Britain, visualising gay sex taking place in front of a audience and in a setting of a place like Wimbledon Tennis Club, the epitome of the Establishment, was defiant indeed. 

He also applied his imagery to the equally unlikely sports of Golf and Cricket.

Frey - Bikers in a Dark Alley 1

This image of bikers getting hot in a dark alley was closer to reality but it's frankness also struck a blow for gay freedom of expression. It was gay art of a sort never seen before - high quality and spelling out what gay means without pussy-footing innuendo.  

Frey - Bikers in a Dark Alley 2

Frey revisited the biker subject in many other images of varying degrees of raunchiness which were, astonishingly, published in glossy, top shelf gay magazines without attracting reprisals from the Police, despite the efforts of conservative pressure groups.

Frey - Leather Lube, Biker Oil

The biker persona was perfect for expressing a boisterous, roughly expressed, bursting out of the closet and entering into forbidden places that reflected the spirit of those heady days when gay men felt that even if they weren't completely free exactly, not really able to realise these fantasies in real life, they nevertheless finally had a legitimacy that would enable them to push open doors that had been closed for all those years.

Frey - Biker Elopement

Frey's pictures did not just express excitement, there was an exuberant joy in them.

Imagining the trappings of conventionality and self -restraint being ripped apart.

It was an exciting time to be gay.

Frey - Lover

But he did not just portray excitement and lust

He also showed a vision of gay love as a beautiful thing, 

performed by beautiful people, beautiful men. 

Frey (as Zack) - Splash

His artistic skills here transform the old, tentative, AMG, shower hook-ups into something much more memorable. A loving shared experience of cleansing vitality with fierce, needle-like sprays of water battering and enveloping the two lovers.

Frey - Chains Broken

Frey's character rogue set the scene for a series of gay, comic book heroes whose masculinity was unquestionable and who were assertive and comfortable in their gay sexuality. Rogue's apparent taste for young virgins seems dubious in retrospect, but at the time reflected the common experience of a youth lost to unrequiteable desire. At that time most gay men of all ages probably were virgins or not long out of it and many no doubt saw themselves as his willing victims, given the chance. 

Bill Ward's later creations - Drum and King - were able to be more balanced characters in that respect 

Frey - Hard Wrestle

Frey's depictions of hard, rough sex were about showing the inherent masculinity of gay men, 

a reaction against years of being universally labelled as effeminate and soft.

Frey - Devilry

If homosexuality was the Devil's work, Frey's men boldly embraced that identity 

Frey - Mortal Combat

That vision of gay toughness also pervades his non-gay, fantasy work.

Frey - Tribal 2

Targeted - Night Visitor by Oliver Frey

Night Visitor by Oliver Frey

 Oliver Frey's comic strips pound with sexy excitement but the individual images are often out of kilter when looked at as stand alone pictures. This image is an impressive exception and has a very different feel, calm but simmering with menace.

More Art by Reitorachi

Following on from my post of Reitorachi's Captivity images,

another selection of other work by this artist, some vanilla, some not 

I don't know whether you'd call this vanilla or not, but it must be one of the best images ever of the tentacle genre, not so much for what it shows but for what it doesn't show, and what you think it should show in a few minutes time. A hero in trouble, having his already skimpy clothes pulled off, but he is not quite in an inescapable predicament, not just yet. There's only one tentacle, not the usual, multi-pronged attack, so it's more focussed and to my mind, more effective. 

But there are other delights. The wet, 'fundoshi' loin cloth with it's gleaming rounded contents. It's twisted, rope-like under-strap is vaguely suggestive of a string of pleasure balls. And those ass cheeks look distinctly rosy. Is this an 8-armed spanker? There's even a cute foot being proffered if you like to partake of such delicacies.

There's a similar sense of vulnerability about the man in this image, upside down, semi-suspended, and unclad from the shoulders down. His exposed cheeks are spattered with something, but the close proximity of a beer bottle and the respectably clad state of the adjacent captor means there's an element of uncertainty about the exact nature of the fluid. There's also a question about what he is going to do with the empty bottle. To the right a second captor is up to more mischief, it's left to the viewer to imagine whether it's painful or just plain rude. 

There's no such mystery in this reworking of the same suspension idea, but the nature of the threat posed by this hero's fantasy attacker is much more dependant on the viewer's imagination. 

The dense detail and styling makes this image harder to take in, it reminds me of old engravings where devilish creatures were set upon sinners. Non-Western cultures don't have the same, extreme viewpoint about such beasts and dragons get a better press these days. 

Nevertheless, the bird-like claws and beaks of these creatures do look scary and the depiction of the bony, hammerlock grip on the hero's arm (at the left) is very powerful. The advantage of fantasy creatures is that everything can be exaggerated and the artist has taken full advantage of that with the creature's tongues which are not only very long but prehensile too. They don't seem to be using them for the usual pleasuring and intrusion, but to plant two egg-shaped objects in the captive's rectum. (The second one is being held by the one on the left, next to it's beak). I'm not sure how the hero is prevented from ejecting them, but his angry expression at the violation seems quite justified. 

Tonguing is this creature's game too and it uses it's many, multicoloured tentacles to restrain it's captive in a most imaginative and accessible way. It places a degree of physical stress on him and he's already sweating. His earphone-mike combo suggests he is a Chris Redford-style, enforcement agent of some sort, which lends an acute irony and pathos to his restraint and to the exploitation of his nudity - nudity which couldn't look more complete. This dynamic pose is much better than the stereotypical sitting down/open legged, floating posture of the tentacle genre. 

I have doctored this image to tone down the censorship squiggle 

and it has fortuitously turned into a secondary tentacle envelopment.

A strong sense of vulnerability and exposure is created here by a pseudo-medical machine which comprehensively restrains the patient from the front, while presenting  his rear end to a variety of probing devices (which also seem to have a fluid injection capability). This is a much more elegant way of gaining access than the birthing leg-lifter so beloved of video makers. 

There's a second layer of restraint down below, linked to a milking feature - or a draining device, to be more precise. The milking is actually precipitated by the action of the probes.  

 , 

This image repurposes the suspension pose seen in Part 1 of this article. The bondage itself is economical but it's a fairly challenging restraint position with doubled back limbs and asymmetrical rigging stretching and stressing the captive, whose arched torso is sweating profusely. It's this that makes the image so striking. 

There's a wealth of supplementary detail. A cock sheath performs unseen manipulations on his pride and joy (and keeps the censor at bay). Thin lines attached to nipple pads provide further stimulation and another is pulling open his mouth to receive a fluid dripping from above (a tricky alignment I would have thought, it's hard to imagine him remaining still). He seems to be wearing virtual reality goggles and is therefore unaware that he is surrounded by a lustful audience observing the effects of all these attachments on him, but ultimately unable to participate in his adventure.

This image of a man reclining on a beach (or beside a pool) also has layers of interest.  His cigar and cocktail suggest maturity and sophistication. Also wealth. He has a chunky, well-built figure and is clad in sexy form-fitting briefs so you wouldn't have imagined that he'd be short of admirers and yet he's brazenly holding a fan of banknotes in his hand as if wanting to attract service of the paid-for kind. 

That detail seems to transform him. The voluminous smoke starts to suggest an element of arrogance and selfishness, the cocktail ('with all the trimmings') becomes showy and tacky, the youthful haircut seems terribly inappropriate and sad and even those alluring briefs a little too much. 

 

Most of this artist's images seem to avoid sensualising the male body but this image makes you wonder why. It's a classic, stretching, male model pose with the face and luxurious tresses suggesting a man of sensitivity and delicacy. A touch of femininity perhaps, which the side-tied G-string also contributes to. 

His body conveys the opposite message, it gets bigger and more muscular the lower your eyes drop with the bikini pouch nestling between tree trunk thighs befitting the butchest of rugby players. On a woman the G-string conceals, on a man it contains and here it seems to hook underneath and bring his tackle forward in a tantalisingly graspable, rounded bulge, offered up for closer inspection. The model's stance suggests he won't impede a closer look, but I can't resist imagining chains on his wrists, just to make sure. After all, men like this only exist in fantasy, catch them while you can.

The appeal of lithe muscularity is an easy win but I applaud any artist who can see the attractions of older and chunkier men and this charming, domestic sketch succeeds in making this man exactly that. On him the rounded muscle shapes are amplified and exaggerated without losing their essential shapeliness or proportions. The model seems suspicious of the enterprise as if sensitised to negative comments about his figure, but he need not have worried, the artist has done him proud.   

This young man sits (nervously) at the  opposite end of the scale, rather like a model in the early years of beefcake photography, persuaded to pose naked but suddenly feeling rather uncomfortable about it, especially after placing his bare flesh on the cold surface of a wooden (milking!) stool in a pose that opens him wide. He has a rather large posterior for a young man and if you look back you'll see this is a recurring feature in this artist's work.

It also seems as if this might be a punishment scenario, 'the naughty stool', for there seems to be a tear trickling down his cheek or maybe it's anticipatory sweat. His backward glance suggests there's more to come. The coquettish flash of spiky hair spells bravado, but it's about to be tested.

Just another day at the Office! 

Pure fantasy but a nice image. I like the open shirt.

Getting on doesn't always require hard work, just application.

 I frequently feature wrestling at this blog but not bearhugs very often, because they don't always seem convincing, especially when the recipient is seen resting his knees on his opponent's thighs. 

This picture shows bearhugs as they should be - a truly muscular embrace from a villainous-looking heel and a squashed victim, arms and all, lifted off his feet and howling in misery. Well, I say misery but he has ejected copious quantities of cum over his opponents torso, which suggests it's not all bad for him. The cock between his legs may have caused this over-excitement but his submission will not be the end of the matter.

The background seems like  a spooky cave-like setting with gelatinous fluid dripping from the ceiling, so I suppose the young man is an adventurer on a mission, probably not expecting to stumble on the lair of a superannuated luchador during his quest.
