Above: KW's 'The Farm' headlined the first 'Milking Factory' article,
which was the most visited of all the posts at mitchmen in 2024.
The table below lists the top 20. Commentary notes follow.

Since this table covers all 2000 posts at mitchmen, you would expect it to be quite volatile with new visitors bringing different interests to the fore, but in recent years it has been remarkably stable. In 2024 the 3 most visited posts were exactly the same as last year, with the first two well ahead of everyone else.
The rest of the top 10 were also the same but shuffled positions, except for 'Homoeros - Art of Crucifixion' which entered the top 10, rising six places to No 6. It replaced The Art of 'Muscle' Matt -1 which dramatically dropped out of the top 20 altogether after a run of popularity in the last couple of years.
Amazingly, two of the top 10 articles date from as far back as 2008 and none are more recent than 2020. This blog is retrospective in character but it's remarkable that so many of the classic fetish artists, like Brick, Cavelo and Mike Carcel, remain more popular than the many accomplished, newer ones. They share the same characteristic of being 'old-fashioned' art created by hand, not a keyboard. Computer techniques but don't seem able yet to capture that elusive element of authenticity and personality that creates lasting appeal. At the same time the repetition is a little depressing, I don't want this blog to become stale and fossilised!
2
As usual, I have hived off 2024's new posts into a table of their own (MPP1) because their initial flush of visits can mask the wider picture. I have shown where they would
have appeared, however, with entries in orange. Onlt two qualified, 'Ain Postolos - Milking Factory Recruits' would have taken 9th position leaving 'IFNB Newsletter' to share a revised 17th spot with Chirenon's enslaved Air Force Boys. It's hits in the second year and onwards that separate the new wheat from the chaff but, encouragingly, last year's winner of the new post category - 'Slave Training 11 – Cockaphobia' did well again, finishing just outside the top 20. The 2022 winner 'Brick's Slave Academy' also finished in the top 30.
3
In this sea of tranquillity, Shenguanlin managed to make a splash with two new entries at 11 and 18. His articles from 2023 were the only ones in the top 20 more recent than 2020. The first of his them probably got an extra boost from being part of the popular milking factory series (see 5 below). His art is high fetish and hits the button in the earthiest way imaginable. His brand of domination might not be everyone's cup of tea (if I may use that expression) but it's welcome here.
4
The other 3 'new' entries were actually returning to former glories. 'Etienne's Article Index' at 17 dates from 2016 and was unexpectedly top of this chart in 2020. It's resurgence is probably attributable to the flurry of articles at the blog related to his 'Sailor Beware' story, notably Planet Gay's re-interpretation of the desert trek inflicted on the captive, Navy boys.
Planet Gay's article also helped to pull Chirenon's Air Force boys back into the top 20 for the first time since 2020 (at 16). I used his image to promote the subject of desert abductions on 'X' and it seems to have drawn some new admirers. More about 'X' in the summary at the end of this post.
Homoeros' crucifixion images have an enduring popularity but his more vanilla work in the 'Beefcake Boys' post was last in this chart in 2020. It's the lead article for my series about him so it will tend to attract readers with an general interest in his work, they were prompted this year by the sexy 'Ross in Trouble' images that I featured in January.
Dropping out to make way for these new entries were - Homoeros Gallery Guide, Enslavement Art by Planet Gay, Exciting New Slave Academy Pictures by Brick, and The Art of Tentakun.
5
The 'Milking Factory' series has been hugely popular at this blog for several years now, so much so that it's hard to find something new to say about it! No 1 in the series finished in top spot again this year. It benefits from being the entry point for the whole series, but other MF articles claimed 4 more positions in their own right and together they made up 25% of the table. That's not even counting the new article (featuring AI images for the first time) by Ain Postolos.
The IFNB series is smaller, only 3 articles, so claiming 2 places in the chart (again not counting the newest one) is arguably an even greater achievement. It's in the nature of this field for talented artists to disappear without trace (having shot their load you might say), but this one, with his dry, witty commentaries is particularly missed. I attempted to emulate his style in IFNB3, but it's not the same.
Amalaric shouldn't be forgotten either with 2 articles steady in the top 10 reflecting the continued popularity of his photo manipulations.
6
The table is completed by a trio of talented artists with very different styles. Priapus of Milet is a familiar name here, a long time champion in the 'all time' table. He has moved with the times and it's hard to credit that his very modern style originated back in 2012. He's probably the greatest story-teller since Tagame, but with a more sophisticated, almost cosy line in threat and sexuality.
Brosfate at one time was the great rival to Amalaric in this table. He has slipped behind a little this year but his art too has evolved considerably and it's continued, deep-rooted popularity is well attested by 2 entries in the separate New Post category (MPP1).
Black Prof is a relative new boy but his cartoon-based bondage imagery is a visual delight. He exploits the medium to add drama and clarity. It's not really 'gay' art at all but he has the clever knack of making it seem so.
~
9 different years are represented in this year's table. There are no
photographic entries this year, but 5 are by photo-manipulators. 6 are by renderers, 7 by traditional artists (I have included Shenguanlin here) and 2 cartoonists. Together they represent the usual, eclectic range of interests.
The
mitchmen 'Index of Artists' page recorded 11710 hits in 2024, up 16% on
2023,but in line with the long term average. It would have easily taken
top place in the top 20 table. I'm glad visitors are still finding
the index useful and hope it will lead many more newcomers to a
fantastic heritage of gay art they didn't know about. Perhaps reflecting
that phenomenon, the 77 individual articles which registered increased hits reads like a revival of all the old classics:- Naomichi (+283%),
Manflesh, Etienne (Sailor Beware), Nath66, Ehrlich, Rex, Homoeros,
Quaintance, Teddy of Paris, Tom of Finland, Tagame, Sabian and Ulf. They were
interspersed with a gaggle of my own captioned images.
Overall hit counts at the blog, however, declined further this year by 20%. I believe this is mainly due to Google imposing sign-in barriers and also perhaps to the rising popularity of other outlets. I suppose my opening comments might also be taken as implying that recent articles may not as interesting or original as they used to be.
The decline prompted me to engage in some promotional activity by starting to post 'tasters' regularly on 'X', which has become a haven for fetish artists of late. I was surprised by the traffic levels there and initial results gave me much food for thought. The captioned image, 'After The Parade', which I posted on both platforms in December has presently attracted 85 hits on blogger and 1,300 on 'X'. An image from 'Cowboy folio No 8' has 136 hits on blogger and 403 (plus 4 'likes') on 'X'.
Posting at X requires a lot less effort and it's a good exercise in brevity for me, but it's format is not suitable for in-depth articles like this, so I don't envisage defecting there completely. There is some evidence that my posting there has improved footfall at this blog where visitors face exactly the same entry barriers as X. Hopefully the superior image display of blogger will keep them interested once they find me. Only time will tell. There's now a growing trend now, for artists to move on from 'X' to BSky Social which is a similar platform without the uninvited political views. I'll wait and see in that department.

Milking Factories by Hijaden2
 |
| Hijaden2 - Milk Collection 1 |
The artist does not describe this hall as a milking factory, but it seems to be set-up for collecting the stuff on a substantial scale, albeit in individual jars, not carried away in pipes. That suggests a focus on quality and traceability. The building architecture resembles the futuristic designs of Sci-fi sagas* and one could easily visualise robots periodically emptying and taking away the contents of the collection cylinders for processing. That would account for the spacious aisles.
*I suppose this might be the crew of a giant spacecraft in some sort of stasis during an interstellar voyage, but I can't recall the authors of such stories identifying an ability to produce milk in such a state. It might be a useful function if their mission is to found a human colony on a distant world. But if that is the case, I'm thankful that we are spared the sight of eggs being harvested from their female opposite numbers.
 |
| Hijaden2 - Milk Collection 2 |
This, more detailed, view reveals that the conditions for the donors in this place are pretty austere. They are totally naked and vacuum-packed inside rubber sacks. They sacks have a degree of transparency, which is useful for monitoring the condition of the donors, but perhaps discomforting for them. It certainly keeps the place tidy, but severely limits their movement, and you might think that the inability to feel any sort of sensual, skin contact might inhibit a man's ability to produce. However, I have observed that mummified men do have a disturbing ability to weep without very much stimulation. I imagine the extraction device is able to render assistance to them.
An overhead feed line provides air and, I dare say, water and essential nutrients too. You'll observe in picture 1 that the men seem to share these arrangements in pairs. It's not clear how this works, but one can imagine 'buddying up' being beneficial for the milkers The full cylinders and presence of a good, old-fashioned pump on the output tube implies that decent quantities are in fact produced. The control panel on the left even seems to have options for an external operator to make adjustments to optimise output further.
 |
| Hijaden2 - Milking Drones |
In this installation, the produce is carried away by a communal pipeline, implying that output volume is what matters most. The men are clad in tight-fitting latex suits and described as drones, with no visible individual identities. The men in the first facility seem to have allowed to choose their own positions before being sealed inside the vac pack. These drones are not afforded that, they cannot even move their heads because of the rigid feeder tube to which their helmets are attached. Their kneeling positions seem to imply that they are not passively extracted, but are expected to actively promote their own output. Fortunately, their helmets look as if they have the capability to assist, with visual stimulation.
 |
| Hijaden2 - Storage Facility |
In our enthusiasm for seeing men harnessed to the thankless task of producing milk for their masters, it's easy to overlook the biological fact that they have to rest and recover sometimes. A short pause 'on the job' can enable younger milkers to come back surprisingly quickly - given the right incentives and diet. But ultimately, even they will run out of steam and post-orgasm disinterest will take hold. I don't think there's a drug for that yet, but no doubt it will come one day.
Hijaden gives us a look behind the scenes with this storage facility for drones who need such a holiday from their endeavours. Chillingly, a rest does not mean that they can take off their suits, clean up and exercise as we would do. However, I imagine their owners have thought of that need and catered for it in some other part of the factory. This is the equivalent of bedtime for the men. We see them, still tightly packaged, being delivered by a robot transporter and stored away in an underground bunker to recover in comfort for the next shift.

NOTES
7
1.
2024 was the year AI art really made its mark and Ain Postolos was the runaway winner of the 'Most Popular New Post' with the 'Recruiting Workers' article, a group of images which I cunningly wove into the Milking Factory saga, although strictly speaking, they are not true factory depictions. His winning total comfortably exceeded last year's winner (as did the runner-up). A separate Ain post with a better 'factory' feel - 'Milking Factory 19' failed to make the cut, but his present popularity is underlined by the continuing success of his debut post at mitchmen. 'The Season of Chastity' from Christmas of last year racked up 589 hits in 2024 alone, a total which would have propelled it into the top ten if I had admitted it. Its hit rate would have placed it just inside the top 20. This artist's work is extraordinarily sexy and he shares Absolut Bleu's love of exaggeration to almost unpublishable lengths. However, AI can trap artists into churning out more of the same, I hope he will broaden his range of subjects in the new year.
Two other AI posts made the top 20 - Planet Gay's reworking of an image from Etienne's marvellous 'Sailor Beware' story (at 6) and some images from 'Roman Prisoners of War', an anonymous artist (at 19). The Planet Gay post actually finished second in the 'rate' table, which takes account of time since publication. Coincidentally, it's subject, 'Sailor Beware' featured in another post (at 20) that presented fragments of a rediscovered, original version from the 1960s and linked it to Royale Studio's 'Shanghai'd Sailor' storyette (also newly-unearthed this year from early beefcake magazines). Posts about Royale Studio have now moved to the new Royale and Hussar blog.
2
There was a case of déjà vu next in the table with 'IFNB newsletter', the third in my series of articles about the 'International Federation of Naked Bodybuilders'. It finished as runner-up. I attempted to re-create the original fantasy and feel of the now-defunct IFNB website in this article and am pleased that it went down well with the fans who sorely miss the wit and craft of the original author. It's already showing signs of longevity, posting more hits in December than any other month since it was posted in February.
3
Third spot this year somewhat surprised me. Aizenhower's art veers between truly sensual imagery and outright cartoonery with fetish interests occasionally blended in. It's good, otherwise I wouldn't have featured it here, but doesn't strike me as blockbuster material. However, his result speaks for itself.
Uruonurun has a similar cartoon-driven style, but his hunting ground is 'young superhero' territory rather than Aizenhower's more romantic, retrospective fantasies. Uruonurun' s images are much more sexy, however, and seemed to be enthusiastically received by mitchmen readers. He got two articles into the table, and at one point I thought he was going to have a tilt at top spot. They ended up at 5th and 6th in the hit rate table, but only made 13th and 15th positions based on total hit counts.
4
Traditional, pencil on paper art was well represented this year by JomsViking with two posts that finished at 4 and 18 (with a third, Part 2 just missing the cut). It gives him a valid claim to be regarded as 'Artist of the Year', especially if you side with the AI nay-sayers! His comic style takes some getting into, there's no colour, the individual images are small, and he doesn't set out to be pretty, but there are some sexy gems lurking amongst the frames and the underlying abduction storylines are compelling
More traditional art is also represented in the table by my own 'Cowboy Folio No 8', placed at 11. I regarded the two images in this post as interesting ideas that hadn't developed into full pictures, but I polished them up for publication and gave them an AI gloss and am delighted with this result. A number of other posts in this series were also well received and one of my attempts at pure AI art, 'Experiment with a Swimmer' almost got into the top 20, scoring 406, so it's been a satisfying year for me. Both these were probably bolstered by some exposure on 'X', of which more in the next post
Perhaps the most surprising event this year was the first appearance of a truly traditional, painted, 'old master' artwork in the table. I think it's the first to even figure in the blog, let alone the top 20 table. 'Romans Under The Yoke' by Glyre headlined the 'Defeated Army Enslaved' post, which finished in 5th position. His treatment of the extraordinary mass humiliation of the Roman Army was as sensationalist as my post title, with fearful men passing under the severed heads of their comrades, so it's perhaps not so surprising that my readers should enjoy it! By chance, it happened to appear at almost the same time as the 'Roman Prisoners of War', some AI art (at 19) which perhaps shows there's never anything truly new.
5
Milking Factory posts have dominated this table in recent years, and they took 3 places this year, including Ain Postolos in top spot. Arguably though, Gorounaoki in 9th place was the most authentic of them, with a row of restrained captives giving their all, whereas 'R&D' in 8th position and Ain at the top illustrated 'behind the scenes' processes. I expect to see more fireworks from this series of posts in the 'all-comers' and 'all-time' tables.
6
Despite the AI-surge (if you'll pardon that expression), rendering
continued to be well represented in the table led by another newcomer, Catweazle at 7 with his man v
monster mini-epics which rely on the popular, fetish theme of 'man in mortal
danger, dressed only in skimpy clothing'. His images are not
gay nor overtly sexual but are nevertheless very sexy, and I accorded them 3 articles, unable to leave the subject alone. 'Leaves you wanting more' is an accolade for any artist.
Brosfate returned with two articles at 10 and 14 illustrating his continued progress in refining his technique with some truly stunning, new imagery. He made his name with 'Captured Soldier' but recent work has featured some promising domination storylines which only lack a similar dark intensity and maturity in the visual concept.
Some of Eclyon's art (at 12) will have been familiar to old hands, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover some experiments with epic-style, historical scenarios that bore comparison with PlanetGay's enslaved Egyptian adventurers.
The final render contributor is our old friend, Homoeros at 17. My 'Ross in Trouble' post was insubstantial, simply drawing attention to his new series, which felt like he was striking new ground in terms of the intimacy and intensity of the punishment scenario. That it should do so well is a tribute to the popularity of Mr H.
7
A photographic entry took top spot in this table last year, but this year's sole representative of that genre (excluding the IFNB photoshop post) was the first part of my profile of the vintage model James Seely, which finished in 16th place. I confess that I was captivated by his expressive face and sexy physique, and am relieved that it seems I'm not alone!
~
This year's table features articles based on photographs, comics, cartoons, renders, traditional art and AI. The wealth of gay, artistic talent enhances all of our lives in difficult times. Long may it continue!

A big, big Thank You!
to all my readers for your interest in my blog,
I hope mitchmen has managed to divert you from the tribulations of the world in 2025
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Spanking Art by Stonecrooze
 |
| Stonecrooze - Adrian's Ass Whuppin' |
'Adrian' gets to open this collection of spanking miscellanea by Stonecrooze, chiefly because he's a chunky lad with flaming ginger hair. His knee-high socks hint at an equally interesting connection with a contact sport, meaning that he's not averse to pain and well able to look after himself.
This is not an easy physique to balance on one's knees in reality, let alone an art construct, but this depiction is pretty convincing. Stonecrooze's art is crisp and colourful, uncluttered and easy on the eye. The subject matter is familiar, with fanciful exaggerations that reveal an appreciation of meaty men. He approaches their ordeals with dry wit and humour.
 |
| Stonecrooze -Cell Mates |
We tend to think of 'mates' as being friends, but the word also covers involuntary associations such as shipmates, teammates etc and both types come with boundaries and rules. Sharing a room with a complete stranger usually means 'the rules' are set by the stronger one of the pair. In prison, there's a risk of being thrown together with someone who finds that being a big fish in a tiny pond can be satisfying in ways that go beyond simply keeping good order.
This unfortunate man may have fallen foul of an unexpected housekeeping rule, like being untidy. Or he may have been indiscreet about something much more serious, like smuggling contraband. Being punished for it in such a ritualistic, humiliating way, however, is not the norm, suggesting it probably won't be the last time he goes bottom up across his cellmate's knee. Stereotypically in prisons, sex is the pitfall for the innocent, not spanking, but I wouldn't rule out that being the dessert course for him.
 |
| Stonecrooze -Cowboy Trip To The Barn |
You don't expect cowboys to be easy prey for spankers either, but you do expect ranches to be populated by strong personalities. This image accommodates that viewpoint with a distinct sense of resistance and struggle on the part of the intended victim, impeding the would-be perpetrator of rough justice. Despite his determined expression, the rosy cheeks indicate that he is fighting a losing battle, which is the way it has to be in these fantasies. It shouldn't be too easy, nor so hard as to discourage a repeat performance when the opportunity arises again.
 |
| Stonecrooze -Field and Stream |
An idyllic scene, one man, his dog and fishing rod, enjoying nature's bounty and getting up close and personal with it. Going commando is not without risk of discovery, even in the remotest terrain, and it looks like he and his dog have both detected an intruder. Let's hope it's a deer and not a game-keeper, because he's put himself in a tricky position if he's poaching.
You don't have to be a spanking fan to like looking at men's bums, and they often look even more attractive when they are the only part of the body that can be seen. That is, when they are bracketed by clothing, that has been raised or lowered, emphasising the incongruous absence in-between. Wading in water creates a similar, truncating, thigh-magnifying effect, with the added frisson of icy cold liquid splashing over unprotected, private parts from below.
Stonecrooze has gone for broke here by adding in canvas waders and if you've ever experienced wading through water in such a garment (or even just in wellies) you'll know that the strange sensation it produces, of being immersed but not immersed, is justifiably part of the lexicon of erotic experiences.
 |
| Stonecrooze -House Rules |
One of the delights of this artist's work is that his characters are fully grown men, which means that the spanking action takes place between equals in physical and emotional terms. But that does not necessarily mean they are complete equals in every respect. House Rules sounds rather parental, but the recipient here is clearly old enough to prevent their application to him if he chose, he could even walk away from them.
We don't know why he hasn't, but now he discovers that a hand slapping your buttock feels no less painful when you're a grown man than it did at a more tender age. The attendant humiliation of submitting to it is a hundred times worse. Stonecrooze's image catches beautifully the tide of rising misery in the victim's face, but I couldn't resist drawing that out further with my caption. Apologies to the artist if it offends!
 |
| Stonecrooze -Paddle Camp |
There are a variety of possible interpretations of this scene. Taken literally, the title suggests a sort of spanking festival
organised by the fraternity in a spot that's remote enough to provide
privacy, with random acts of domination meted out to relatively eager
campers.
However, it reminds me irresistibly of those early pictures of Tom of Finland where a young man is caught trespassing on private land or skinny-dipping where it's not allowed and punished on the spot. In this case, I see an irregular solo camper being taken to task for pitching his tent in a picnic area. Fortunately, the Ranger spotted him before spectators arrived to make things awkward.
 |
| Stonecrooze - Playing Doctor |
A Doctor who looked like this in real life would have a queue of gay patients lining up outside his door, and were it not for the steely look in his eye and the pot of lube on the table this might be taken for a perfectly innocent, professional consultation. A selection of paddles line the wall, but I've not worked out what the other objects lying on the table are. They suggest that this patient is going to get a combination of interesting therapies. He looks like he can take it.
 |
| Stonecrooze -Full Dose |
These days, people are more and more inclined to take charge of their own treatment, with the assistance of Doctor Google. It must be very frustrating for their regular clinicians. We can imagine this man urging the Doctor to give him the 'full dose', perhaps not imagining that in this clinic it's not a miracle drug but a giant paddle. He should have taken more notice of what's on the wall. The Doctor's mask makes sure that no unprofessional thoughts on his part are given away, but there must be times when the chance of paying-back an awkward customer is extremely satisfying.
Open-back surgical gowns are often unsatisfactory as erotic clothing, despite signalling a naked body hidden inside with easy access available, perhaps it's a little too easy to be sexy. Stonecrooze makes the best of it here, and arguably the revelation of tight, white underwear underneath the gown is sexier than complete nudity would be.

| Stonecrooze -Set His Ass On Fire |
In the AI-age, fetish imagery is getting more and more realistic, but it often produces a surreal edge that enables the cartoonist to sneak in embellishments that convey things that are felt rather than seen without it seeming incongruous. Like the fiery pain of an ass that really is being seriously paddled, not just participating in a pretence.
The smoking bum is amusing, but the marvellous, graphic expression on the burly recipient's face here is priceless. It combines surprise with indignation and a blossoming change of mind, making it clear that it's no laughing matter as far as he is concerned. That makes it funnier of course and the burly build with a hint of sporting pedigree (rugby, I hope) somehow makes it seem like a well-deserved comeuppance even though we haven't a clue what he's done to deserve it, nor why he's agreed to take it. His red hair and flushed face make a witty connection with the unforgettable experience.

| Stonecrooze -Spank him like a Ketchup Bottle |
A fair amount of this artist's work simply combines sexy pictures with amusing captions. In this case, he aptly exploits the colour of the hunk's hoodie. Those white, stretchy underpants would stop most of us in our tracks anyway, but the thought of turning him upside down to empty him out, down to the last drop, is alluring indeed! I'd make him take his smelly socks off first, though.

| Stonecrooze -We Can Settle This Here |
The Cop who administers summary justice to offenders over the bonnet of his patrol car is a well trodden road in gay fetish art. Etienne composed a mini-series on the subject - Night Patrol, and there was a classic spanking video from the 90's (?), in which the unfortunate is taken to a barn, stripped and fiercely belted. It used to be a resident feature on sites like this. Stonecrooze's contribution to the genre is an offender with punk-like, militarily-cropped hair who does not submit willingly to the indignity of a semi-public spanking and a muscular cop (ready equipped with a thick paddle) determined to make sure he does, turning up a backside that truly deserves to be described as moon-like.

| Stonecrooze - Whooped Farm Boy |
When the spanking is over, the chastened farm boy corrects his dress,
delicately avoiding abrasive contact with the seat of his jeans.
The pain will subside quicker than the humiliation.
The lesson, should last longer, but we may get lucky!
A simple adaptation of an already sexy image.

101 Uses for a Belt - No 22 Wrapping a Present
I suppose New Year is an unconventional time for present giving.
I actually started wrapping this one two weeks ago,
but you know how difficult it is with odd shapes.
Especially when they don't want to be wrapped.
I missed Christmas and wasted 15 metres of wrapping paper.
Before I hit on this wheeze.
Still not as neat as I'd like, but there you go.
Or rather, that's the way he's going!
Bye bye Kevin!
