Lately I've been getting more cruises in Recon and honestly I wish I could turn them off (the feature seems to be lost in the new version). Often I'm not in the right mindset when they come in to respond/react.

Lately I've been exploring a feeding kink and I have an idea for a future scene. I'm struggling to find the equipment though and could use some help from the fetish collective.

I was getting too Dom so some reprogramming was required, courtesy of the folks at @vilaingarcon.bsky.social

I lost the original 4mm to my e-stim box ages ago so I've been sans electro until I finally replaced it. I even added to my collection, including some nipple clamps. After all this time I'd forgotten what 9v to the nipples felt like! 😵‍💫⚡️

Charles "Trip" Ryder, an ancestor of mine, was a bounty hunter specialising in the reacquisition of rubber drones that had escaped the programming facility run by The Company.

Even though I'm generally fine showing off my fetish side, there's still some anxiety showing my sub side. Anyway, here is a tastefully cropped pic from a recent visit to my Sir - @mancsrigger.bsky.social

My first set of tactical gear has arrived. Now I just need some stuff to help me 'detain' any bad boys that cross my path! #gay #mlm #tacticalgear

It’s official – in a few weeks, I’ll be in Amsterdam competing for Mr. Leather Europe! I hope to bring my experience thus far to a wider stage and support kinksters and clubs across Europe with my knowledge and be the role model I looked up to, starting off on the scene.

Today was a good day at the gym! A new 115kg PB on Bench Press and managed to get back to my pre-surgery PB on Squat at 190kg

So this is what Hunter is supposed to look like! Only time I've been was the (much quieter) weekend after Folsom 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm convinced that chastity is for twinks and people with thigh-gaps, because how are you going about your day or going to the gym without your thighs trying to constantly castrate you?!

A few days ago I did a thing, hiking to 5106 metres above sea level in Nepal on the Manaslu Circuit. I even took a LML+ flag with me

Arms are still lagging behind everything else, but the workouts at the gym are paying off

For a long time I had fantasies of inversions (hanging upside down). After a few inverted rope suspensions and a recent go on a bondage wheel, the reality is that I can't hold the position long enough. Whether it's something I can train, or I just have too much blood in my body, I don't know

One of my earliest forays into kink. I remember travelling to M.A.R.S (Manchester Alternative Rooms) on my own back in 2016. It was my first dungeon, and like a kid in a candy shop I wanted to try everything!

The image shows a person hanging upside down in a dimly lit industrial-style room. The person is shirtless, revealing a hairy torso, and is wearing black leather pants and a black gas mask covering their head. Their legs are suspended, possibly secured to something out of frame. The room features a brick wall, a wooden floor, and some furniture, including a cluttered desk with a lamp and various objects. The lighting is moody, with a blue light casting a faint glow on the wall, creating a dark and atmospheric scene.

A long, long time ago (2018), I had my first experience with a vacbed. Needless to say I enjoyed it! Although you'll mostly find me in leather and rope, rubber can be fun too!

The image shows a person lying flat on their back encased in a black, stretchy material that conforms tightly to their body, creating a vacuum-sealed effect. The contours of their body, including arms, legs, and torso, are clearly outlined through the material. The person’s head is also covered, and the material creates a smooth, shiny surface across the entire form. The surrounding area appears to be a room with a carpeted floor and some furniture partially visible. The black material contrasts starkly with the lighter background.

More leather from the Easter Berlin shoot 📸: @vansf12 (Instagram) #gay #gayleather #leathermen #leatherfetish

The image shows a close-up of a man outdoors, exuding confidence and style. He has short hair and a mustache and is wearing reflective aviator sunglasses. He is dressed in a black leather jacket, and his hands, covered in black leather gloves, and fingers interlocked, are held close to his face.

You wouldn't take advantage of someone with puppy dog eyes - even if they're already cuffed - would you?! #gay #bdsm #gaybdsm #bondage #handcuffs

The image shows a man with short dark hair and a thick mustache, looking directly at the camera with a concerned or pleading expression. He is wearing a black T-shirt with a colorful rainbow lightning bolt design on the chest and a rainbow-patterned wristband on his left wrist. His hands are held up in front of him, bound together with black handcuffs. The background is a plain, neutral gray, emphasizing the subject's expression and the colorful details of his clothing and accessories.

Self-bondage is OK, but it's much better if someone else controls when you get released! Don't you agree? #gay #bdsm #gaybdsm #bondage #gayleather

The image shows a shirtless man wearing an elaborate black and red leather harness and headgear. The headgear fully encases his head, featuring straps and buckles, with an integrated muzzle covering his mouth and a decorative cage-like design over his face. His arms are raised, with his hands placed behind his head. He is also wearing leather wrist cuffs with metal detailing. The background is dark, providing a stark contrast to the red and black tones of the gear. The name "Paul Ryder" and the Instagram handle "@paulryderknk" are subtly overlaid at the bottom of the image.

Last of the photos from the mini rope jam - don't mind me, just going to rest here - October 2021

A man is lying on his back on a padded black floor, his head resting on a pillow with a dark blue cover. His face is obscured by a blindfold and a layer of black tape across his mouth. He is extensively tied with tan ropes in a detailed and symmetrical arrangement. His hands are bound together and secured against his chest. Ropes also wrap around his upper torso, waist, thighs, and legs, creating tight, intricate knots. He is wearing black shorts with red accents and striped black-and-white socks.

Throwback to a little rope jam we had back in October 2021 #gay #gaybdsm #bondage #ropebondage #shibari #kinbaku

A shirtless man sits on a padded floor in a cross-legged position, bound intricately with tan-colored rope. His arms are tightly tied, with his hands clasped together at the center of his chest, and ropes extend from his torso to his legs, which are also bound. His legs are wrapped in black knee-length socks with white stripes, and red shorts are visible beneath the ropes. His face is blindfolded with a gray bandana, and his mouth is gagged with black tape. The background shows a cluttered room with boxes, clothing, and furniture, suggesting a casual indoor setting.

This was one of the most beautiful and intimate sessions I've experienced with a rigger. @nikokbk.bsky.social knows how to play with intensity and speed - Folsom 2022

A person is lying on their back on a bed in a neutral-colored room. They are partially undressed and bound with intricate ropework, with ropes wrapped around their torso, arms, and legs. Their legs are bent and partially suspended with additional ropes extending above them. They are blindfolded with a patterned cloth, and their facial expression appears calm. The person is wearing red knee-high socks with white stripes, which add a pop of color to the scene, and underwear that has visible branding. The bedding is white, and the background includes a plain wall with two mounted lights near the bed’s headboard, giving the room a minimalist appearance.

I don't which position I'd prefer to be in: tightly bound in the sleepsack, or wriggling in frustration in the straitjacket!

A taste of my favourite bondage scenario: tightly bound, inescapable, and senses deprived! 🪢: @kinkybondage.bsky.social #gay #bondage #straitjacket #mancsbound

Illuminated by a pink light, a man is pictured standing next to a column, wearing a canvas straitjacket. His head is fully enclosed by a neoprene hood beneath a muzzle with thick straps. The top of the muzzle features a d-ring which has been tied to the column. The man's head rests against the column, resigned to his isolation.

The Shibari Picnic is one of my highlights at Folsom EU! Especially when I get to be bunny for @S4kink2 (Insta)! #folsom #folsomeu #shibari #bondage #kinbaku #ropebondage

A man is suspended in mid-air in an outdoor setting, tied in intricate ropework that secures his arms, legs, and torso. He is dressed in a black T-shirt, black shorts, and black Converse sneakers with white accents. His knees are bent, and his body is angled horizontally, creating a floating effect against a backdrop of lush green trees and grass. The rope setup is attached to a metal ring above him, and his facial expression shows calm or enjoyment, possibly smiling slightly. The scene combines elements of nature with the artistry of rope suspension, giving it an open, relaxed outdoor atmosphere.

I'll be in Manchester this Friday attending #MancsBound Here's a little something from the archives: me putting @kinkybondage.bsky.social in my House of Basciano muzzle! 📸: @joshidotphoto.bsky.social #gay #bondage #bdsm

In a dimly lit setting, two people are pictured in a close, intimate pose. One person stands, wearing denim jeans and leather leg harness straps with metad studs, paired with tall black boots that feature red laces. Draped out of the back pocket is a grey bandana. They are holding the head of a kneeling individual, whose attire includes a glossy black rubber shirt with yellow stripes on the sleeves and matching pants with yellow side stripes. The kneeling person is also wearing a detailed head harness with red accents and a muzzle-like structure covering part of their face, adding to the striking, edgy aesthetic of the scene. Other people are faintly visible in the background, creating an atmosphere of a social or themed gathering. The overall tone of the image conveys intensity and alternative style.
