Bondage Blog

This is one of those images that’s so memorable, I still remember downloading it from UseNet at least thirty years ago. It regularly got spammed across all the image groups in greyscale, at some tiny size, perhaps 200×300 pixels?

All the identifying book cover information had been cropped away, and in those days, there was no reverse image search. It was just an enigmatic old illustration. If you had a good eye for BDSM art, you could recognize it as being probably by Carlo. Or you could wait a decade, for better versions and reverse image search to hit the ‘net!

The book cover art is signed by Carlo; the book is Le Cuir Triomphant by Alan Mac Clyde.

You start with a slave on a dildo pole, apparently. Apply liquid rubber liberally. Do not neglect the onahole mouth gag:

I don’t know how they captured this pretty elf princess, but I’m pretty clear on what they plan to use her for:

How do you end up tied by the wrists in an abandoned train station (or perhaps it’s an overdesigned industrial building) wearing nothing but black lace and a justifiably surly-attitude?

I dunno, but the artwork is by renowned French illustrator Jean-Claude Claeys.

Until I looked closely at this vintage bondage photo, I thought it was a classic chair bondage pose:

But no! That’s a cheap wooden end table she’s been sat upon after being tied up, with a fan-shaped photographic backdrop arranged behind her to give something of a first-glance illusion of a chair back.

This pic comes from one of my ancient download folders, and none of the usual-suspect reverse image search engines will admit to having ever seen it. On my hard drives it has 2005 metadata, so at least I can guarantee that AI never touched it.

It can be hard to describe, to people who don’t remember, how much bad bondage porn showed up in mainstream non-fetish magazines back in the 20th century. Quality BDSM porn was a highly specialized product and very hard to find. But every vanilla pornographer, it seemed like, tried to put one kinky photo in their edgier porn magazines. Usually the fetish gear was weird and the actual bondage not very binding:

This photo is from the 1993 Dutch title Big Size Boobs 05: International Special Magazine.
