Cop Uniforms

While military uniforms are fairly ionic, most of the images drilled into our head are only regarding the men wearing them. Naturally there are legitimate reasons the appeal goes beyond the style of fabric composing the uniform. When it comes to police uniforms, it's a completely different set of conditioning that evokes a mental response. Instead of the uniform indicating something about the wearer, it not only connotes power transcending the individual but also one that can at times be adversarial. You're not exactly apt to feel nervous if someone in a military uniform is observing you, but anyone who has violated a minor law (burnt out headlight, speeding, etc) and been reprimanded for it is likely to feel somewhat nervous being observed by a cop. It doesn't mean you're going to feel like your play partner is going to arrest you of course, but the image is still there in your head.

For those unfamiliar, the cop in the first two pictures is the one who bought the homeless man boots in NYC. Not that I want to objectify such an amazing man but holy shit is he hot!

Xtube Saturday

Just a boy in chastity mummified and wriggling around. Oh, and .. you know .. screaming in pain later as clothespins are pulled off his balls. Should have added this to my weekend wishlist.

YouTube Feet

Every now and then a really hot video will show up on YouTube for a few weeks before it gets deleted. It's usually not explicit material, of course, but it can be anything from breath control to tickling to gut punching. There's also a lot of videos of barefoot guys showing off their feet since it's not really against their ToS. Stumbled across this one from MyStr8M8sFeet, but there're tons of normal guys instead of companies that put up videos on YouTube.

Weekend Wishlist - Random Bondage

Submitted without comment for once. Can't brain today, I have the horny.

Tattooed Feet

Part of why I like tattoos is that there's still a considerable stigma surrounding them. In addition to liking tattoos in and of themselves, I generally regard people who strongly dislike them as possessing the intellectual prowess of racists or homophobes. One doesn't simply get a full sleeve without being aware of the fact these simpletons exist, and to me going through with it anyway is tantamount to giving the finger to an asinine social stigma.

That being said, it's pretty rare to see guys with tattoos on the tops of their feet. It's, naturally, a really sensitive area so it takes more than a whim for someone to get a tattoo there. In a sense it just makes it that much hotter that the guy was so determinate.

Hogties

I have the good fortune of being KinkyDaemon's demo boy during his ropework classes this CLAW. It was a blast last year, and I'm definitely looking forward to it. One of the classes focuses on hogties, so I figured I'd talk about them here as well for any not able to attend the class.

Hogties - with spread-eagle ties as a close second - are pretty much the most common bondage position. They're prevalent enough that it's easy to find videos on YouTube of straight guys ganging up on a friend to forcibly hogtie him. Unfortunately, because it's such a common position, not many people take the time to consider the options when it comes to the position.While it is a pretty simple position, how you tie a boy's wrists and ankles can have a huge impact on how the position affects him, so we'll look at each separately:

Wrists - there are three ways to bind someone's hands for a hogtie: crossed, parallel vertically, and parallel horizontally. Most people immediately think of tying wrists crossed when it comes to a hogtie, which is fine. It's the most versatile of the three because you can either restrain the crossed wrists to the boy's ankles, or use a rope harness to pin them further up his back so he can't use his hands to protect his ass. Alternatively, if you tie him so that his wrists are parallel you can limit his ability to throw his weight around using his shoulders. It's also easier to restrain a guy's arms at the elbows using this method, with some hogtie fanatics making sure the boy's elbows almost (or actually) touch. Finally, you can tie a boy's wrists parallel to each other but perpendicular to his body. This method offers both of the good aspects of the previous two; helps limit movement and leaves the ass exposed. Unfortunately, this can be problematic when tying boys with limited flexibility due to how sharply it boxes the boy's arms, and even in more limber boys it can affect the longevity of the position.

Ankles - there are also three different ways to tie ankles: crossed, parallel, or each tied/strapped to its respective thigh. If you tie a guy's ankles crossed, it limits his ability to bring his knees together. This can be useful if you want him flipped on his side so he can't protect his cock/balls. It can also make it more difficult for him to roll himself over since it broadens his base, and you can also pull his cock down into the opening between his legs when he's on his stomach. Tying his ankles parallel can help make him into a smaller, tighter package, but it's slightly less versatile since the legs have no room to move whatsoever. My personal favorite is having my ankles tied to my thighs. This method is the most versatile of the three, since you can always add more rope to get them like you want, whether it's tying them together afterwards or tying them apart to the sides of the bed. It's also worth noting this variant is best-suited for if you also want to have a boy kneel for more than a moment while he's hogtied.

There're a few miscellaneous things to keep in mind like only flat rope on a boy's chest (knots will press really uncomfortably), finding ways to keep knots away from the boy's hands, or how to do an entire hogtie with a single piece of 50' rope, but if you're paying attention to why you're doing what you're doing they should fall in place just through experimenting. The more you pay attention to how the body moves when restraining a boy, the more you can learn about how to counteract his natural range of motion to more adequately restrain him.

Sleepsacks

My leather sleepsack is easily one of my favorite pieces of gear. While mummification can actually be pretty newbie-friendly with a little bit of instruction, not only are there very few ways you can screw up putting someone in a sleepsack, a good one is absolutely inescapable no matter how unskilled the top is with bondage. It's a nice transition for guys who think they might have a sadistic side but feel insecure because of their inexperience in bondage. It's somewhat less practical to own one as a Dom since boys come in all different sizes, but if you're a sub who tries to be patient with new Doms like myself it's a really worthwhile piece of gear to add to your collection despite the price. There're some less costly rubber or neoprene ones, but since I'm a huge fighter at times I stuck with leather. For anyone who's less of a fighter, the rubber/neoprene ones definitely open up some fun options like watersports.

Random Hot Guys

As hot as a stone-cut body can be, it starts to get a little old for me. I really like the male form, and that's not dependent on how taut a guy's skin is stretched onto his muscles. That being said, hot is hot; scrawny, a little extra meat, all-around "average" build .. whatever. And I definitely have to say I especially love the look of a farmer's build where a guy bulks and doesn't cut. Yum!

Suspension

Recently I had a itch to build a new bedframe. Having seen some awesome playrooms like LondonRopeTop's and MplsGuy's, I decided to go with using iron pipes and Kee Klamps. They sell fittings that are hinged so they can be added on to existing framework, meaning the bed could easily be expanded into an entire playroom.

At any rate, having suspension capabilities for the first time in years has had me really hankerin to be haignin midair. It's great because in adding an extra dimension to the mix, the possibilities are endless. It takes a lot of skill to do suspension with just rope, but there are some really nice suspension harnesses out there for instance. I personally love that you can have someone tied so they can wriggle around like a fish on a hook, or tied more rigidly while suspended in midair. The former is really great for something like electro or IcyHot where no matter what the boy does it won't make a damned bit of difference, but the latter is great for inescapable cbt, wax play, spanking, etc. Either way, the subject isn't going anywhere.

Also, bonus points for anyone who can guess what the horizontal bar in the foreground is for. O:-)
