| Gary Taylor - Chain Play (Michael Stokes) |
For those of you wondering why I paired snakes with chains for this group of articles,
this terrific image of Gary Taylor by Michael Stokes should clarify.
This chunky chain winds sinuously round his body just like a huge snake
It projects a similar power to restrain, passive and latent, but no less potent.

| Unknown Model - Chain Play (Michael Stokes) |
This man seems more nervous with the heavy links than Mr Taylor.
It's almost as though he senses some malign influence in them.
Listen up young man! I want to tell you something.

(This is the same chain, but a different model, I've no ID on him, sorry.

| Phil Lambert Chained (WPG) |
Men have frolicked with chains since iron was first hammered into useful shapes.
This image of a marvellously submissive Phil Lambert from the 1950's
embodies a secret desire of many men - to be stripped, restrained and dominated.
To be put on show as a prized possession even.
To be put on show as a prized possession even.
But the links are only wound loosely round the wrists, this is just chain play.

In the modern age restraining chains have been commoditised
An accessory for sporting muscle offering up their bodies for a month of admiration.
This is just chain play for money.
But after the shoot, safe in his bed that night, did he wonder?
Wonder what it might really be like to be forced to wear a ball and chain?
By a stronger man.

| Temptation - Enrico Belaggio and Jack Dragon (by ScaryFuckers) |
For every cute young man who wonders what it would be like
to be desired by another man so much that he must chain him up,
there are plenty of hunky studs out there, only too willing to oblige.
and the temptations of the snake can be irresistible ........

But once in the Snake's lair, the reality may be bare and stark.
Lonely, uncomfortable and threatening.

Even the biggest, strongest, most handsomest of men
who drip in the gym with hormones and stuff,
imagining that they have exceptional powers,
basking in their own beauty.....
.....they too can be tempted by the challenge of firm restraint
the thought of chains snaking tightly round their body.

The muscle head can exercise dominion,
even over the sneaky snake, in his fantasies.......
....but in the real world he finds that his raw strength is no use.
His power is nullified - once he's in the grip of inflexible metal.

And for every curious slave there has to be a slave master to serve.
His rippling, gleaming muscles may make him look amazingly masculine,
but you don't really know what's in his head until you are helpless in his fetters.

The naked reality of bare, cold steel may be rather different to the fantasy!
But by then it's too late for regrets!
