Taken Off The Streets - 5

For all the erotic action, there's a certain beauty and artistry in some of the interactions at BF

 Chris is obliged to feign attraction to his captor here, but he makes a pose that is defiant and artistic.

I'm not usually into stocking-knit masks but it creates a nice visual effect in this image,

an odd mixture of hooding, sexual barrier and villainous, non-disguise. 

A similar, unwitting, but rather charming, sexual display is cajoled out of Max here

 in the guise of harmless assessment and appreciation of his assets.

But Max soon discovers that collectability and admiration at BF

 does not imply respect for his body, not even for his most delicate assets.
We share his pain in this finely judged snapshot.

Steve's lusciously lithe body (shown to great advantage here) does not protect him either.

His neck and feet are tied to a suspension rope pulling upwards,
forcing him into a helpless and awkward position which is very nice to look at but invites attention.

A similar suspension triangle, reversed for Martin, putting him in a beautiful arching pose

which is partly tensioned by the dildo stick between his legs.
His plumped up buttocks become an irresistible target of course.

Shamus makes a backward arch, which is equally beautiful here,
but the interlocking triangle of muscled arms make this 'hog lift' a more special.

The manual lift is a very personal demonstration of the strength of his captor and his willingness to use it. The noose-like, neck bindings in this improvised suspension pose an additional challenge forthe captive who is diminished accordingly, intimidated, used and reduced to a mere object.

Jack here undergoes a similar experience, also involving a personal lift, albeit in less threatening, conventional, hog-tie roping. His humiliation is amplified by having the crotch of his own underpants stretched across his face at the same time. It's not a pretty picture but it captures the sense of helpless 'flight' rather well. It doesn't flatter the captive at all and he is anonymous anyway so it's a disturbingly complete abasement.

Ross' tousled hair and dishevelled clothing are testament to the struggle to contain him.
But they actually underline his helplessness rather than a nudity that you cannot really see.
Shamelessly exposed and helplessly contorted, you can sense his bewilderment and dismay.
It's a classic image in it's way.

 Men's bottoms have a central role in BF proceedings and few men relish displaying them. 

Here Mike has been handcuffed to allow his ass to be paraded before an appreciative audience

The contrast between his nudity and everyone else's clothing is a powerful visual isolator,
while, the handcuffs, which are all he wears on his body, eloquently describe his captive status.

 

The simplicity of this pose by Kirk is striking and visually interesting.
The fact that he is kneeling on a table bestows a 'guinea pig' status upon him, similar to Mike above.
It's true even if you didn't see that his limbs are loosely tethered to the corners.
His underwear suggests there might even be a respectable (if puzzling) medical purpose.
Kirk isn't a rocket scientist but it looks like he's guessed where this position leads.

There's no denying the erotic thrust of this image, possibly the sexiest in this collection, but, cleverly, it's not sexually explicit at all by modern standards. It's also obvious that  Liam is tied up, but it's mostly implied, not visible.

His boots and soccer socks (in sexy pale blue) draw attention to his nakedness elsewhere.
and they enhance his almost unseen, rear attractions with a sporty and cosmopolitan aura.

Incongruously beset by painful nipple clamps he presents an open goal for prospective fans.

Another soccer player, Mark, demonstrates that nakedness is not a prerequisite for a beautiful buttock show. As a lifelong shorts fan I love this image. The wetting treatment in progress here may ultimately blur the nakedness boundary, but meanwhile the discomfort of wet pants probably qualifies as a cruel and unusual punishment.

 

The allure of Lee's inviting crevice is hard to contest
but it's a great picture too with a tripod-like composition that's cleverly judged.

But art or not, I defy anyone not to get excited by Kirk's plump globes 

 

The lick of the lash is an inevitable consequence for them all at BF.

In this retrospective I have focused on images and situations that particularly excite me at BF.
It's not comprehensive, I have pretty much ignored the older Str8 Hell material.
I like the imaginative use (and destruction) of clothing which I think marks the studio out as different, but I confess I find the level of realism and extremes in many scenes quite daunting.
For that reason I avoid the videos and 'raw skin' scenes and stick to spotting the best 'situation' imagery where I think this studio truly excels. Their policy of repeating similar punishment scripts with minor variations doesn't seem to inhibit the production of novel imagery and in practise seems to work as a teaser as much as a spoiler. I suppose it is an honest acknowledgement of the needs of mass production which other studios share but try to disguise.
