A blond youth tied to a column. Pseudo-classical images were popular back then.

The hunk tied to a tree is Ed Fury. Like many other American body builders and physique models Fury traveled to Italy to star in sword and sandal films.

A beautiful young stud meets his master in a sizzling story of power and submission.

Lots of bondage, plenty of chains, a little flogging and some nipple torture from a gay BDSM publication of decades ago.

This is more than I’d usually sample. But I’m a sucker for bondage. Ramsey Reese Top Man contained many pages. Some explicit, at least for the time. Maybe you can find a copy on eBay.

• I don’t want the site to go so long without fresh material.
• I’m not sure that I want some of this on Queer Pop Culture where I’ve allowed the kink quotient to rise higher than intended.

Thanks to the fantasy adventure movies of my childhood I saw men being tortured on the rack as a boy. As my youthful masochism emerged being stretched out and tormented on such a rack was frequent feature in the little sadomasochistic playlets I told myself in bed.

Knowledge may bring power but even more so an awareness of limitations. Joints and ligaments are easily overstressed or even torn. So barring an exceptionally able sadist in a very mild scene racks aren’t that great a reality. Especially as you age.
