Ain Postolos - Recruiting Workers for the Milking Factory

AIN POSTOLOS - Enhancing Milk Production Efficiency

Adding young men to the Milking Factory production line is always likely to boost output. They have usually have few problems with repeated draining, often achieving high rates of ejaculation without the need for anal encouragement. Just the idea of it is enough, as this image from a recruitment open day demonstrates. 

As a result, applications to join the milking workforce from this age group are often processed on the spot and if successful, which they generally are, the boys find themselves harnessed to the production line on a 12 months contract without even having the chance to celebrate their success with their loved ones.

The vivid art of Ain Postolos doesn't pretend to be anything but AI but it's undeniably sexy, often graphicly so and too much for this humble blog. The men in this image have come out of the AI mincer with a delicious 'puppy fat' character which I imagine is fortuitous.

AIN POSTOLOS - Milk Production (test)

The testing of new donors is stringently conducted. It simulates the intensity of the production line so as to leave the men in no doubt of what is required of them. The novelty of serial, induced orgasms under restraint is an eye watering baptism to your average jock. Not that they have much chance of changing their minds and withdrawing (as it were) at this stage. Not if the recruitment staff have decided they want them, as many a prankster on a dare from his team-mates has discovered to his dismay. 

Cross-eyed men is one of the recurring features of the present generation of AI, showing the software's inability to assess it's own output as a rational image. Interestingly, traditional artists also find it hard to look at their work with 'new' eyes and spot flaws like this. Luckily it suits my narrative in this case and is quite cute if you appreciate inexperience in a man. Or two men for that matter, the 'buddy' ingredient here amplifies the effect.

AIN POSTOLOS - Test Subject's Responding

The milk of young men does not have the same intense body as that of older donors, it has a light, subtle, freshness that is much sought after by connoisseurs. Promising applicants are therefore sent into a store room to give a test sample which will determine their suitability to join the famous 'Nouveau Milk' production line, which gave rise to the famous Nouveau Milk Race. 

The privacy of the cubicle helps men who experience hesitation, but they are also provided with a one-size-fits-all anal post. This which has caused many a virgin tear to be shed. Interesting responses such as these are captured by hidden cameras and suitable images may be used for that year's bottle label. This young man became the face of the highly successful 'Babe's Tears' milk brand.

AIN POSTOLOS - Cumtrubute

It's not unknown for men from the same family to come forward to give milk and these present the opportunity for producing special family editions if the taste is right. The two Edwards twins were sent to the Factory by the local Job Centre last year. They despaired of getting them into useful work placement but to everyone's surprise they produced a best-selling youth blend. 

Sadly, youth is fleeting. The products are constantly monitored to  make sure they are worthy of 'Nouveau' status. A man's milk tells no lies. The Edwards now serve on the main production line alongside the old hands.

AIN POSTOLOS - Super Soldier Serum

The prestige of being selected for a special edition can also be offered to some older men whose milk has unusual qualities or simply because they have celebrity status. Super Soldier's milk (dubbed as Serum by the marketing bods) enjoyed a certain vogue a few years back.  Now he's just a regular guy pumping it out on the shop floor. But who knows? There's always scope for a special retro edition.

 

AIN POSTOLOS - Bound Gagged and Milked

Strange as it may seem, there are men who turn up at Open Days expecting to be able to jerk off a load or two and collect a wad of money to fund their gym habit or pay off their debts. It's quite a shock when they learn they have signed up for a full time job. However, they usually change their tune when told that they first  have to prove that they can produce milk of the requisite quality  Their indignation at being conscripted is suddenly replaced by an overwhelming need to not be found wanting. 

The rigours of providing a test sample under clinical conditions can also strain their egos.  Restraint is the norm of course since all men are incapable of keeping their hands off their dicks during arousal and this could contaminate the sample. A good many fidget and have to be fitted with cages to keep the nozzle in place throughout the extraction process. Highly strung individuals and those who have overdone their Dutch Courage may warrant a gag too.

The gag and cage design depicted in this image are brilliant. 

Ideally suited the butch, muscular character of the subject.

Milking Factory 19 - Ain Postolos

Ain Postolos - 'Bred For The Finest Milk'

I hear Ain Postolos is setting up in the Milking Factory business, with a retro advertising slogan promising top quality milk. Judging by the press release image (above) he's going for a low tech operation compared with other establishments we've visited in this series. That'll keep his start-up costs low of course and artisan milk, produced the old fashioned way, has come into vogue recently. Factory conditions look a mite crowded but he reckons that keeping the men in close contact promotes production. 

It looks like he's assembled a formidable herd of studs anyway with a wide range of breeds seen in this image. The blend should produce a fascinating flavour experience with the blond supplying the cream on the top.

He calls his product 'Moonlight Milk' and it looks like he's taken that connection to heart in the production process. The full moon is known to influence men's moods, but if it's a necessary element of the production process, output will be limited to one night a month. What a night though, if the men are locked in chastity for the rest of the time! No 2 in the line-up seems to bear out that 'liberation' theory. Those anal stim-plugs surely won't be needed!  

The wags in this office reckon the name means his milkers are moonlighting from from their regular jobs, but it's hard to imagine this lot being allowed to just clock off and go home at the end of their 'night shifting'.

Most Popular New Post of 2024 (MPP1)

Ain Postolous - Dungeon Bondage

An unusual fetish scene from this year's winner. Not a milking Factory, but it looks like a private creamery to me, with interesting stereotyping. Notice the twin ball ties - advanced stuff!

NOTES

 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!

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.

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.
