Today — March 11, 2026 — marks the 17th anniversary of MetalbondNYC.

If you’re just discovering the site (or if you’ve been here since the beginning), this is a free, independent gay bondage website dedicated to the physically restrained male. This was my very first post back in 2009:

That core dedication hasn’t changed. Over these 17 years, the site has grown into a curated space for pictures, porn previews, gear links, and especially the Prison Library — the collection of erotic fiction that remains one of the most popular and enduring features. With thousands of stories from hundreds of authors — with a brand new one, PupMax, about to make his writing debut — it has become a real resource and escape for readers who crave detailed, immersive tales of restraint, discipline, captivity, and submission.

As always, a huge thank-you goes to Atlanta Stud, who reliably texts me every year to remind me of the anniversary (I still forget birthdays, but he keeps me on track — thanks, man!). Shout-outs also to all the authors who have sent stories over the years, the readers who have shared pictures and feedback, the fellow kinksters who have linked here or supported in other ways, and everyone who just keeps coming back day after day.

In a time when so much adult content is being censored, de-platformed, shadow-banned, or removed from algorithms on mainstream sites and services, MetalbondNYC remains completely self-hosted and independent. I’ve built this website to last, and I plan to keep it going as long as I possibly can.

Whether you’ve been here for 17 years or 17 days, thank you for being locked in with me! Your visits, comments, and support keep the lights on and the chains secure.

Stay restrained, stay free.
