These images are from the vast library of material available from Bob Wingate, editor and publisher of the great Bound And Gagged magazine:

I remember when I first started getting Bound and Gagged magazine in the mail. It was digest-sized and arrived every other month in a plain brown envelope. Getting a new issue was an EVENT for me. This was before the Internet. I was living in Texas at the time, and I would read each issue, cover to cover, including all the personal ads. It was very exciting.

Eventually the magazine got full sized, and then they later added color pictures.

One of the many things I remember reading about on the pages of Bound And Gagged magazine was that there was a CLUB in New York City where you could go and get tied up! Fucking hot! So, when I moved to New York in 1992, I went to the New York Bondage Club as soon as I could, and guess who I met there? Bound And Gagged photographer James Bond, accompanied by Bound And Gagged editor Bob Wingate!!!

The two of them stripped me naked, blindfolded me and tied me down to a floating bondage table, where I was jerked off for the next three hours by lots of different, anonymous men! What an initiation.

I had lunch last week with Bob, and I told him this story. He of course does not remember this meeting, but for me it was a huge event at the time.

Through the Bound And Gagged personal ads I later met Alan, and we hit it off famously and remain friends to this day.

Thank heavens for Bound And Gagged!

Bob tells me that the Bound And Gagged crew will be taking a booth at this year’s IML event in Chicago, so watch for him there. You can also see more of the Bound And Gagged archives, including stories and tons and tons of pictures, at Bob Wingate’s Blog. You can also purchase back issues (hard copies) of the magazine by clicking here. Get them while they still last, as these back issues are quickly becoming rare collectors items.

Wow, there’s obviously all sorts of fun going on this weekend in Chicago. Unfortunately, due to a convention in Canada for my day job, I am not able to attend the IML festivities this weekend myself, but check THIS out:

Yeah, that’s bondage porn god Jason Branch (left) with Lee from Bound and Gagged at the B&G table at IML. DAMN, I wish I could be there!

Anyway, to follow along with more news from IML, you might want to check out Bob Wingate’s Blog — where I got the picture above from — as well as the AWARD-WINNING Mr Kristofer Weston — congrats, Kristiofer, on your award! — and local hottie Ruff of the ever-popular Ruff’s Stuff blog — who always has cool stuff posted from IML.

After he listened to my recent podcast over at the No Safe Word site, Metalbond reader Jamie sent in some personal recollections of James Bond (of blessed memory), The New York Bondage Club, Serious Male Bondage, and other reminiscences.

First, here is a picture of some of James Bond’s handiwork:

Jamie Writes,

Hey Metal,

I enjoyed your interview on No Safe Word. I met Tony and Mikey through Mark and Dale at Serious Male Bondage. It is funny how interconnected the community is. Dan Savage was interviewed on No Safe Word a while back. Anyway the reason for this, I just did an entry for my private journal that I wanted to share with you, as you were the inspiration.

Private Journal entry:

This morning I was tickled to see the Donlean cartoon I had e-mailed to my friend “Metal” posted on his website. This cartoon I can so relate to; as about the only way I can be truly relaxed it to be restrained. That way I don’t have guilt for not working: it is not my fault!

Anyway, on Metal’s site he had a link to his interview on the podcast, “No Safe Word.” I do enjoy this podcast. I’m acquainted with Daddy Tony and his boy, Mikey, two of the podcast hosts, through friends in San Francisco. I listened to the podcast as I typed out my journal entry for today. In Metal’s interview he mentioned “James Bond,” a good friend who passed away in 2011. I’ve never really documented how this man literally changed my life. Now I will.

James Bond was a bondage enthusiast and photographer. He provided a lot of the photography work for the magazine Bound and Gagged. I used to pick up this magazine at Rochester Custom Leathers back in the 1980s and 1990s.

It was in January 1998 in the dead of winter that I got my Gateway computer. I was living with Joe awaiting my transfer to Tuscaloosa, AL. I figured how my down time would be as good a time as any to join the computer age. Joe had been on-line for about a year. He would be my mentor.

Looking back, it almost seems like this all transpired back in the dark ages. Joe had an extra AOL disk, so I was able to get online without too much trouble. I can still hear the dial-up phone noises! Like everyone on AOL, I had multiple profiles: a regular profile and my “slut” one for the fun gay sites and chatrooms.

It was through a members profile search under my slut profile I located James Bond. (Does AOL still have profiles and chatrooms? I have not been an AOL member for many years.) I contacted James, and he invited me to stop by anytime to his New Jersey home.

James and I made arrangements to get together. I was to arrive on a Thursday night and then head out early Saturday morning. We met at a diner not far from Jim’s house, where we had dinner together and got to feel each other out. We returned to his place and I was like a kid in a candy store. In no time at all he had me in tight, comfortable, inescapable rope bondage.

That Friday afternoon I was laced onto his bondage board unable to move with a tight leather hood. I can still feel the total immobilization with the exception of my hooded head. The leather gag was inserted and buckled on, and then my eyes were covered. Rope slowly but firmly pulled my head back to the board so I could not move at all and was pretty much totally sensory deprived. This boy was flying!

In the evening Jim drove us into the city for the meeting of the New York Bondage Club. At this period of time the club met at Jay’s Hangout, which was located in the basement of the old Anvil. If I’m remembering right, this location was around 10th Ave and 14th St.

I saw this hot man entering the club wearing a Hellfire Jacket. I had to meet him. I went right up and introduced myself. His name was Bob, and things instantly clicked. He introduced me to his friend Eric, who was a manager of the leather store on Christopher St. I told Eric the story of how I was locked into a puppy cage there back in December 1993. Eric informed me that he was the one who locked me in that night!

As the night progressed, Bob took me places I never knew existed. He told me I should consider attending the Delta Run in September. He said I was a natural for the club.

As the year progressed I hemmed and hawed about attending the run. It was kind of at the last minute in early August I contacted Bob to see if I there were any openings. He got me a last minute invite. I sent in the check, and booked a flight.

Delta opened an entirely new perspective into my life. I was able to make a great new circle of friends with mutual interests.

I could write for days how intertwined my friend connections are through that initial Delta Run back in 1998.

Louis, whom I met at the 2002 run, was instrumental in getting me to sign up to go to college in 2003 through my work. He also got me into hiking with him on the Appalachian Trail. Through Louis I met his friends and connections in San Francisco. I feel a real sense of pride whenever I see myself in one of the banner ads for Serious Male Bondage. That is me on the left:

Through my friend connections I can definitely say my life has been drastically changed for the better.

It was after I retired Harold talked me into running for the Delta Board. I was elected and served two three-year terms. The club only exists to put on yearly “runs.” Not long into my tenure I was thrown into a situation whereby I was forced to act and respond in ways I never had before. Talk about a growing experience. Through my work on the board I’ve gained the confidence to not shy away responsibility when I know I can make a difference.

It was through that initial meeting of James Bond that forces went to work to reshape my life as I had known it. From Metal’s interview, it sounded like he had a similar experience. I’m sure James Bond never thought about what an influence he had upon my life. He lived his life fully, and he is sorely missed. I’m writing this out so he will never be forgotten, at least not by me.

Metal would like to thank Jamie for writing this!

Bound and Gagged magazine was a HUGE influence for me and countless others.  The magazines are definitely collector’s items — so get yours while you still can.

Bob Wingate of Bound and Gagged has some bondage equipment to sell (some of which is pictured above).

There is a “stockade,” with an optional fucking rod, and which he calls a puppy training device; a custom-made cage which is a hot item (for someone 5’6″ or smaller); and a bondage board.  He’s also got a bunch of hoods, two slings, a canvas straitjacket, a set of rigid irons, connecting neck, wrist and ankle irons.

You would have to come and pick those things in Pennsylvania, so get in touch if you are interested and located in the New York/Philadelphia area.

(Unfortunately, the models pictured above are not part of the deal.)

You can contact Bob directly at bob@boundandgagged.com to discuss pricing and logistics.

Also be sure to get your copies of Bound and Gagged magazines and DVDs, while they last.

Bob Wingate is selling off his inventory of vintage Bound and Gagged movies, which are available on DVD. These and many other titles are available, and you can click on any of the images below to go directly to Bob Wingate’s website:

Through a special arrangement, a large selection of DVDs directed by Bob Wingate of Bound and Gagged Magazine / The Outbound Press, are still available, from Stationhouse Videos.

The scenes above are from “Masters & Slaves 1 — Opposite Attractions” with Jason Branch and Steve Ross.

Click for Stationhouse Videos

What’s great about the Stationhouse collection of these videos, is that they now have full descriptions of these movies online, plus the DVDs now come with added outtakes, previews and picture galleries. Check them out.

Does anybody remember Drummer magazine? It was hot as fuck.

Before the Internet, there was an extensive selection of scene-related publications, mainly published in the 1970s to the 1990s. These magazines included DungeonMaster, Checkmate, Metropolitan Slave, Manhood Rituals, MACH, Manifest Reader (my personal favorite!), the Zeus Inferno albums and other Zeus one-offs, most of Larry Townsend series, the Robert Payne series — and of course the crowning achievement of them all — Drummer!

And then came Bound and Gagged magazine — and my whole life changed because I knew I had to move to New York City.

Those of us who were around before the Internet will no doubt remember Bound and gagged magazine.

In its glory days, it was by far the best resource for anyone into male bondage of any kind. Not only were the stories and photographs stimulating, but the personal ads allowed like-minded men to connect with one another. I remember watching the mailbox for each new issue, which I always read from cover to cover. This magazine certainly shaped my own coming out into bondage, and it facilitated meetings with many others, including my first kinky relationship.

Looking at the covers of some of these issues certainly brings back great memories. I was featured in one of the issues with a story and pictures. (It is one of the issues pictured above).

As you guys know, there are literally hundreds of male bondage stories right here on the Metalbond site, in the Prison Library section. Which one is your favorite?

Meanwhile, after you have read all the stories here you might want to check out some of the many other websites featuring male bondage stories, including the ones listed below — and if you know of another site that I don’t have listed, please let me know!

Eckie aka Bondagefan

One of my own personal favorite resources, Eckie’s excellent website has been going strong since 2003. You have to register, but it is free and well worth it! Look for the Stories Archive section. Many of the best stories there are written by Eckie himself. His site is highly recommended.

RubberZone

This is another of my favorite sites! You have to register, and it is definitely worth it! Some of the site’s features are pay-to-view, but much of the other content — including many of the stories — are available for free. I have spent countless hours on this site with a hard dick in my hand.

LockedMEN

If you are interested in learning more about chastity devices — and meeting/chatting with other guys into chastity — this site is a must! It requires you to register, but it is free. The stories are in the Forum section, under Chastity Fantasies.

Bondagezine and Bondagemaster

These are Master Jack’s extensive websites, which serve up lots of original content including downloadable videos and lots of stories. Master Jack has been gracious enough to allow some of his stories to be re-posted here over the years, but there is so much more on his own sites.

Bondage Predicaments

There are tons of original videos on this guy’s extensive website — and he’s also got a stories section. Registration is not required, but if you do register you can see way more.

Nifty Archive – Authoritarian

The Nifty Archive contains thousands of stories in many different categories. The gay authoritarian section is where you can find stories involving bondage, chastity and male-on-male domination. Be aware that site can be hit or miss, though. Some of the stories are hotter than others.

Bob Wingate’s Blog

This is the website of the longtime editor of Bound And Gagged magazine. He’s got a table of contents listing several dozen titles — plus there are many more stories included as individual blog postings. (Note: Bob has not updated or maintained his site in several years, and while you can still read the stories from his vast collection, be careful not to click on the spambot links in his site’s comments.)

Gay Spiral Stories

Formerly known as the Narcissus Cursed Men Collection, this site, which is updated frequently, focuses on hypnosis, mind control and transformation fantasies. Some of the stories include bondage. Many are written from the top’s point of view. You can search by keyword or by tag.

Prison Process

Lots of stories here about incarceration, especially jail intake and indoctrination.

POW’s Fiction

Many of the stories here are “read at your own risk” — meaning they are too extreme to be re-posted here on the Metalbond site! But if you get off on torture fantasies that border on the deadly, I’m not going to stop you from clicking through.

MaleBots

This is another site that requires you to register, but it is worth it if you are turned on by robot transformation, cyborgs, etc. There is plenty of fantasy content and illustrations — think the hot male Borg from Star Trek.

Growl Boys

This is a pay site about male furry transformation. It’s a combination of porn videos, along with illustrated fantasy stories. Some of the content includes bondage.

Altarboy’s Chastity Belt and Device Fiction

This is a site for people of all genders and sexual orientations. If you are like me, you will want to scroll down to the “Male Chastity with Male Keyholder” section. Meanwhile, if there is anyone out there who is willing read some of the male chastity with female keyholder stories, and RE-WRITE them as MALE keyholder stories, please let me know!

Mortice Deadlock

Mortice’s page has several dozen bondage and chastity stories that are searchable by category. Many are male-on-male.

How to Kill a Superhero

This is a series of books by Pablo Greene, available for purchase. If you like superhero and cosplay, check him out — he’s also a total muscle stud!

There’s a new eBook available from Bob Wingate, featuring some of the hottest stories from the New York Bondage Club newsletter and Bob’s popular vintage print magazine Bound & Gagged. The eBook is called “Spreadeagle Tales” and is available from Amazon:

“Spreadeagle Tales includes 18 tales from the newsletter I put out for the New York Bondage Club, which I founded in 1984, plus eight more great stories from the magazine — readers’ favorites and my own. It also includes an introduction by me about how the club and the magazine came into being,” Bob said in an email announcement. “A second eBook, ‘Natural Slave,’ will be coming out in the next month.”

You can get on Bob’s mailing list by writing him at bob@boundandgagged.com with the words “Put me on your mailing list” on the subject line. You can also write Bob at that address with any questions.

Also check out Bob’s blog, Bobwingate.com. After a hiatus of several years, he has recently started posting on it again!

“Natural Slave” — out today from Bound & Gagged magazine and New York Bondage Club founder Bob Wingate — consists of ten powerful true-life accounts of sexual slavery, written by real slaves and real Masters. All of these stories originally appeared in the pages of Bound & Gagged

Becoming a sexual slave to a dominant Master is one of the strongest currents of desire of men into bondage. So if you need to submit, or be submitted to, you will find a lot to satisfy your fantasies in “Natural Slave,” especially since fantasies are all most of us have to sustain us during these difficult, self-isolating times!

This is the second recent eBook available from Bob Wingate.

Check this out. Bob Wingate of Bound & Gagged magazine has published his latest eBook, called “Bullies & Victims, Volume 1.” It’s the first part of a two-part bondage novel!
