Bondage for the lightweight

Bondage can be a scary topic. It brings to mind visions of harnesses, handcuffs and humiliation, but beyond that, chains and cages, tying and torture, whips and various flogging devices. And since most people don’t use 16-plait, smoothly braided, pre-stretched polyester rope in their lovemaking, it can all seem a little intimidating.

For those looking to dip their toes into the world of BDSM, there is, thankfully, the internet. But don’t just sit down and Google bondage one evening; in a market saturated with bound gods, guys, gays and studs, you could quickly find yourself overwhelmed. Once seen, something can never be unseen.

If you’re a lightweight in bondage, try boundjocks.com. The site is full of bright, clean, straightforward bondage, in both picture and video format. Drawing from the world of freelance adult actors, the site has mostly solo videos featuring pornstars such as Benjamin Bradley, Samuel O’Toole and Andreas Cavalli. Typically, the star is bound, mostly nude, placed on a yoga mat or comfortable stool and encouraged to struggle himself free — and to orgasm.

One of my favourite scenes features adorable Micah Andrews, wearing a black jock and a gag, on a stainless steel table, with his wrists tied to his ankles. He struggles out of the jock and then suddenly finds himself holding a foot-long dildo, which he puts to good use. Andrews plays to the camera like a champ. The video is like one of those Mac ads with the two guys, plus ropes and a cumshot.

Another scene finds gorgeous Topher DiMaggio tied facedown to a weight bench. He grunts more than Andrews but similarly struggles for a while before finding himself flipped over with his cock in his hands. He’s got great eyes and gazes throughout.

Boundjocks.com uses big, sparse, white studios that look like a real-estate staging gone horribly right. The site also features a blog, live shows and a basic training section with demonstrations of rope-tying techniques.

If bondage, domination, sadism and masochism are old news to you, look somewhere else — you won’t find anything new or bizarre here. But if you’re a novice, boundjocks.com will give you something to consider. And then, when you’re harnessed to a pommel horse, something to reconsider.
