 It's interesting to discover how other people earn their money.
Sometimes it's quite a surprise.
As Kyle found, when his hard-up flatmate revealed all. 
 
 
Hog tied in the Rainy Forest by tru3ai

Early morning joggers are especially vulnerable to amateur trappers. 
They loiter in quiet locations frequented by keep-fit runners.
Having snared a suitable candidate, they send for the big boys. 
Sometimes it's hard to get a convenient pick-up slot.
Still, he isn't going into work today, so he won't mind waiting. 
 
 
Chillin' in the Rain by tru3ai

Dylan had been out in the garden for over an hour, 
His boyfriend had an important report to finish for work,
and didn't want any interruptions.
Well, he'd certainly made sure of that.  
And then it started to rain.
 
 
Fun in the Woods by tru3ai

Jackson had a wicked streak in him. 
He liked to prowl the woods posing as a Redneck in search of lone campers who he could terrorise, like in the movies. When he spotted two city dudes with expensive camping gear,
he licked his lips in anticipation of the fun he could have.
 
But as soon as he revealed himself and started making dark threats, they attacked and felled him with a barrage of punches. Now they were discussing whether he would be a 'keeper'. 
 
Jackson didn't like to think about what the alternative was. 
  
 
Hog Tied with Muzzle by tru3ai
 
As day broke and warm sunlight fell on Liam through the patio glazing, he fervently hoped his ordeal would soon be over. Last night, the choice of being tied up for the night or being turned over to the Police as a burglar seemed a no-brainer. True, he hadn't expected to be stripped naked as soon as he was immobilised and gagged, but he could handle a bit of groping. Even by a man. That was embarrassing, but fair enough in the circumstances. 
 
However, when the guy had had his fun, he announced that he would make a 'final decision' about Liam in the morning. Meanwhile, he needed to make sure that he couldn't escape or get up to any mischief during the night. Liam's restraints were made tighter and tighter and his position more and more uncomfortable. 
 
Liam quickly gave up trying to escape from the ropes. It was cold on the patio during the night, but he had finally got some sleep. Now everything ached - no, everything hurt. 
 
He could smell an enticing breakfast cooking, but time passed, and he slowly became more and more anxious about that 'final' decision.
 
 
Packed and ready to go by tru3ai

Even a slave deserves a holiday. My boy says being locked in his travel trunk makes him feel safe and wanted. But there's always that doubt in his eyes whenever I close the lid on him.
 
 
Home Alone 
(Tight Hog Tie on a Bed by tru3ai)
 
 The burglars had seen the film and were taking no chances with Darren. Darren always slept naked and they obviously enjoyed tying him up in that state. However, he found their comments about his 'hairy cleft' quite disturbing, particularly as it had quickly escalated from jokes about parking bicycles to parking a rope between his ass cheeks and anchoring it to his dick.

Naked Bondage Art by tru3ai


Cute face, very cute buns and a very tight hog tie. 

 This is a marvellous imagining of bondage, probably unattainable in real life, except with the most flexible of men, and the chances of recruiting one as cute as this one are slim. 

He's perched on a bare table in a cubicle, the likes of which you see in airports - for customs and border security. It doesn't look like he's being interrogated because he's gagged, or perhaps that's a temporary expedient to cut down on noise while they look into his case. 

Stretched Hog Tie by Tru3AI
 

The vertical rope is a health and safety provision, so he won't fall off the table. I love the way his feet seem to be clasping it. Mind you, he's not struggling very much, just looking round as if totally bemused by what's going on.

Art by Steve Masters 4

Read this series of posts from Part 1 
 
Steve Masters - Greasing The Saddle

This image can't be found in the beefcake publications of the sixties, it's far too suggestive. Master's title seems to imply this is a regular rendezvous for the cowboys, a male brothel perhaps, which would account for the dodgy wallpaper and the rather deprecating title!   
 
'The saddle' doles out lubricant to a cowboy whose intense gaze and thin smile has a pretty scary look about it. Particularly when he's holding his belt like he wants to use it on someone's ass. In fact, you can interpret the image as showing that he just has done so, the rent boy rubbing his bruises rather than lubing himself. Luckily, the other cowboys seem up for fun rather than tormenting their steed. 
 
I've seen this image with the eyes of the two central cowboys blanked out (like the nipple shapes here). I'm inclined to think that could be the original version, because I can't think why anyone would make such an alteration, retrospectively. To modern eyes, it adds a menace that is coldly inhuman rather than lustful. The image above is a more complete version anyway, showing the bed in the foreground. That would have been a controversial ingredient in its day, sex in a bed is intimate and personal, not just a discharge (for which heterosexuals could be excused).
 
The styling of this image has a look of the 50s about it, the chair design being a part of that. The 'hollowed out' drawing style was later the trademark of the British artist, Bill Ward, in his cartoons.
 
 
Steve Masters - Men In a Bed
 
This picture illustrates perfectly the heightened intimacy of getting into a bed with a man. They are not actually having sex, but it's strongly implied. This looks like a hotel room so we can bung in the word 'seedy' as well. 
 
The sailor with his cap still on and sweetheart tattoo epitomises casual, 'rough trade' but this looks pretty affectionate and genuine. The highly stylised, drawing style has produced a picture that is more sensual than might be expected for such sparseness. It cocks a snook at the Peeping Tom in the background, conservatively dressed and looking very disapproving. 
 
 
Steve Masters -Matelot
 
I've censored this image to meet the blog rules, 
but you can see it unspoiled on 'X'
 
This early image in the same style is self-explanatory, a bit of R&R between men of disparate sizes and exceptional physiques. The title of this piece is probably derived from the cockleshell hat, the rear man is wearing. Masters associates it with fishermen in other images. He's also wearing a (just visible) rolled-up singlet with horizontal hoops, a nautical style (a la Gaultier, below). 
 
The background imagery looks like conventional room furnishing, apart from a rope-like construct that disappears through an elaborate hole in the wall like an anchor cable. The subs raised arms give a 'come and get me' tang of the bordello again.
 
Matelot Hoops
  
 
There's a further, early image in this style at my 'X' account that ceases to have any meaning if it's censored, but it's actually more interesting for its fetish ingredients than its dix. It features a biker with a captive in a baseball cap (subtly roped round his ankles). Masters uses his 'double vision' technique to disguise a sharp object as a book.
 
 Masters' proclivity for S&M is well-documented and his early images as 'Kurt' feature leather dungeon scenes, which unfortunately are too extreme to show here. The examples I have are poor quality reproductions anyway. 
 

 
Steve Masters - Cop and Biker

This image bridges the gap to Masters' better known style. The biker cum matelot reels back in wonder at the cop's enormous package, which has a pouch hidden in it, like a kid's picture puzzle. The cop's assets are supplemented by a truly 'bent' handlebar, which curls over his hip like a spare part at an orgy. 
 
The biker is wearing a matelot striped top that is sexily cropped. His jeans are already undone, but both men seem half undressed anyway, as their clothes seem to dissolve away below shoulder level, revealing nipples and abs. A bulbous fuel tank beneath the biker, between his thighs, signals the erotic momentum. 
 
 
Steve Masters - 'Lands End'

 This seems like a typical 60s surfer image at first sight, more wall hanging than erotica, with tasteful nudity. In fact, the two protagonists in the foreground are bikers, one a serious enough enthusiast to wear goggles. His discarded clothing, meticulously detailed in the foreground, 
is erotic in itself. No underpants! 
 
Masters employs a hybrid outline/shaded technique for the clothing that is fascinating technically. There's a slightly unreal quality that contrasts with the wearer's realistic nudity. The towel trailing between his legs looks wet and seems to show an appropriate outline beneath, but it's well disguised. 
 
The middle figure seems to be gazing out to sea as he undresses. His cap is not the conventional biker style, but more that of a seafaring captain, the nautical theme Masters often returned to. However, the jock suggests he's not pondering the mysteries of the Ocean. He's holding his belt stretched tight, suggesting tension (and perhaps a desire to unleash it). The end emerges from his clenched fist upright and looking like a banana, but I don't think it's his lunch. Not literally. His clothes also dissolve into outlines.
 
 The reclining figure in the background probably is a surfer or sunbather. There's a collage-like disconnect between him and the other figures that suggests to me that he, or his (sanitised) tackle, is the true object of the middle biker's attention. As though these are sketches for a larger, wide landscape picture.
 
I must admit I didn't know where Land's End was in the States*, although it turned out I'd actually been there a few years back. It's on the Pacific Coast side of San Francisco, not far from the Golden Gate Bridge. A popular cruising area, I believe.
 
*My efforts to find the answer to this seemingly simple question showed just how much Google has lost the plot as a search engine in recent years. It's much vaunted AI feature insisted there was no such place in the US, but, surprise, surprise, there was a clothing company of that name that I ought to know everything about. 
 
Thankfully, Wikipedia came to the rescue further down the page with that priceless commodity Google is no longer interested in - information. I can't wait for someone to launch a proper search engine again that supports research rather than advertising, I'd be willing to pay for it.
 
Steve Masters -Showers

I love the secret bottom-touching in this playful and fairly well-known locker room image. It's the best example I have seen of a coloured Masters picture. Authentic or not, I don't know, but it hasn't come from a magazine, it's an original picture. It looks as if it has been exposed to water damage, but that has fortuitously created a compensating effect of steaminess.

Punishment of a Sailor


The creator of this video snippet calls it a 'Pirate Dunking'. That might suggest it's the fate of a captive, particularly as he's dressed in rags (just about!). But it's a disciplinary scenario that might be applied to any sort of vessel from the age of sail. Both civilian and military ships could be blessed with captains who applied severe punishments to excess. But, at least this unfortunate has escaped the dreaded 'keel-hauling', keeping his superb physique in tip-top condition for the next time.


An impressive example of what can be done with AI in hands not constrained by commercial considerations. He's conjured a great homo-erotic scene without causing offence to anybody! 

It would be nice to see a modern version with the dunkee dressed in white underpants, say, or other revealing, wet clothes. 

More on this artist next time.

Steam Punk Dungeon by Procrustesus

Procrustesus - Steam Punk Dungeon 2

A muscular man restrained for torments that can hardly be imagined, except that it seems to involve a chunky tubular device between his legs. The belt and pouch arrangement is very sexy.
 
Procrustesus - Steam Punk Dungeon 3

This handsome chap is more intimately restrained at waist level. He has a military look and seems to be focussing elsewhere to steel himself, while his tormentor diligently hooks up his complicated machine (which looks a bit electrical to me!). 
 
Procrustesus - Steam Punk Dungeon 6

Tight arm restraint here adds an extra layer to the experience being delivered by that tubular device, down below. The steam rising behind him suggests it's not the only sensation the captive feels. He can't see how smug his jailor is about the proceedings.
 
I've censored some of these images for obvious reasons, but you can view them in all their glory at the link below.
 
Procrustesus - Steam Punk Dungeon 8

Whatever this contraption does, it seems to be working here, as the captive arches his body in discomfort. Dissatisfied, his tormentor smugly makes a few adjustments.
 
Procrustesus - Medieval Bondage 5

One of the other steam punk images (shown at 'X') utilises a restraint arrangement similar to this fiendish adaptation of 'The Stocks'. 
 
Procrustesus -Ready For Racking

The artist has updated another Medieval device, The Rack, for this image. The victim's feet aren't hooked up yet, but it looks as if a waist lift is included to add an extra dimension to the stretching.
Curious choice of gag.

AI art by Remixing Reality

All captions are by mitchmen 
 
Bat Flirt

 
Bubble Bath

 You thought that AI stood for Artificial Intelligence?
 Welcome to Moonrise Boulevard!
(Inspired by the stories of mishandling of aspiring models at a well-known fashion brand).
  
 
Free Checks at the Pump 

RR has a portfolio of sexy encounters between petrol pump attendants and drivers. Some are romantic. Others show one or other of them making the first move. Mature men and sexy jeans add pleasing dimensions to this one. You just don't do this to a thirty-something!
 
Pumping Gas

 I particularly like this one. The customer shamelessly flaunting his body is a great image in itself. He seems bemused by the pump attendant's comic response, but then it's pretty obvious that erotic subtlety is not his style!
 
 
Where D'ya Want It?

RR also visualises the pump monkey as a bit of a himbo who dresses in skimpy shorts at the behest of the owner to draw in customers. New boys who are unfamiliar with exotic car models may be the victim of mischievous customers, exploiting their naivety.
 
Dressed For A Hard Ride

Paths that wind through woods are a favourite stomping ground for AI art creators. You never know who you might meet on the trail so it's a good idea to wear suitable gear. 
 

Careful What You Wish For

Secluded trails are prime territory for cruising. RR invokes the 50s look in this eager, young face. He might be a bold, new boy learning the ropes, but looks are sometimes misleading. Nice to see that this stud takes precautions but doesn't discriminate.
 
 
Pillion Pupil 

There's a retro look here as well, which is apt in the context, as the biker who picks up the surfer type can be traced back to the 60s imagery of Etienne's 'Road Kings'. This biker isn't wearing leathers but a leotard, which replaces mysterious, dark sexuality with sporty freshness. It wouldn't earn him any brownie points from a safety point of view, but does no harm at all to his sexual allure. The opportunity to embrace him from behind, astride a bike, is one not lightly refused!
 
 
Cow Pokes

This was the golden age of American teenagers enjoying the freedom of driving and posing in their parent's cars and hanging out at drive-in venues of all sorts. However, the gay flirting pictured here was at best discreetly under the radar.
 
It was a time when men were starting to show their bodies, and there's some great imagery of shorts here. Not sure about the boots, but they do enable a comical slant. This image complements the ongoing 'Scout' posts at the Royale Studio gallery, which were contemporary.  
 
God Bless Jeans 1

One of the distinctive features of RR's work is the use of media mock-ups, like this billboard for jeans. There's a whole series of these with varied brands and different wearers, plus a range of rips and tears. It's hard to improve on the basic, undistressed look on the right bottom, though. Capable of provoking a range of imaginings. The bike parked underneath makes it look like he's just hopped off to pose in the magic window.
 
God Bless Jeans 2

I like this one because he's older and doesn't look like showing off his ass comes naturally. As if that rip only just happened, and he wouldn't have been showing it to us at all if the photographer hadn't made him lie that way round. He can't wait to make his escape!
 
 
More RR to come ....
