Chapter 1 – Rubber, mud, bondage and sex
A few times each year, usually late Summer or Fall, Max would travel four hours Northwest from Ottawa. He would visit friends at their not too remote rural farm. Farm? Well it was 25 acres of swamp, clay, rock, bears and gazillion black flies in the Spring. The mud, ahh yes, the swamp and high water had wonderful silty mushy, gooy, clean clay.
T.J. is a tough fucker who likes to be tested and pushed in serious, long-term physical restraint. He recently visited the infamous Mountain Correctional Facility, and Zerotaf reports that T.J.’s total time with his hands locked behind his back was 30 hours 15 minutes! That blows my own personal record out of the way, as well as that of ToughBondageBottom.
The pictures below commemorate J.T.’s incarceration and cuff session:
I spoke with both Zerotaf and T.J. by phone shortly after the lockup had concluded. Zerotaf was impressed with T.J.’s stamina, and T.J. sounded none the worse for wear. Personally, I have a feeling that ToughBondageBottom will want to attempt to beat this record.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Guys, if you ever attempt something extreme like this, be sure to use the “darbies” style cuffs (shown below), and not regular police cuffs because the darbies won’t cut into your wrists.
Kinkidiver collared Drew, his partner for life, for life.
Last night I met Dan Savage, who founded the It Gets Better online video project.
Hundreds of people from all walks of life, even Hillary Clinton and President Obama, have created videos. Even a couple of guys who are into kink — Dart and Tynan — have posted videos.
I must say it is fantastic to see men who wear their fetishes so proudly. Way to go, Dart and Tynan!
To learn more about the It Gets Better project, you can visit their official website. And also be sure to watch Dan Savage tonight (Monday night) on the Colbert Report. I’ve already set my DVR.
I think the magician David Blaine is totally fucking HOT! Many of his stunts involve long-term confinement and other forms of physical restraint. For example, check out some of the stunts he has pulled in the past:
Premature Burial
Beginning on April 5, 1999, Blaine spent seven days buried inside a glass coffin at the bottom of an open pit in New York City. Passers-by could peer into the coffin and see him for seven days.
Frozen in Time
On November 27, 2000, Blaine began a similar stunt called “Frozen in Time,” which was the subject of a television special. Blaine was encased in a box of ice for 61 hours, 40 minutes, and 15 seconds before being removed and taken to the hospital to be treated for acute hypothermic dick shock.
Vertigo
Blaine’s next stunt was called “Vertigo.” On Monday, May 22, 2002, Blaine stood on a pole 90 feet high and 22 inches wide for more than 34 hours without food or water.
Above the Below
Blaine sat for 44 days in a plexiglass box suspended over the River Thames in London.
Drowned Alive
On May 1, 2006, Blaine was submerged in a water-filled sphere measuring eight feet in diameter in front of New York’s Lincoln Center. Blaine’s plan was to remain inside the sphere for seven days, then attempt to break the world record for holding one’s breath underwater while freeing himself from handcuffs and chains. (Blaine failed in this attempt and had to be rescued by support divers.)
Revolution
On November 21, 2006, in Times Square, Blaine was suspended 50 feet in the air while strapped by shackles inside a giant gyroscope.

Part 1
I was in complete darkness and I knew that I was never going to be free again. My knees were sore from kneeling on the cold concrete and the shackles had rubbed my wrists, neck, and ankles raw. I had already lost track of the number of days that he had kept me locked up in this dank room.
This site is all about putting men in physical restraints that they cannot get out of. But every year at Halloween, I like to pay tribute to someone who took delight in being able to defeat such restraints. That person is the great Harry Houdini, of course. He died on Halloween in 1926, at the age of 52.
Although he got locked up in handcuffs and strapped into straitjackets to ESCAPE from them, there was also an element of exhibitionism and homoeroticism in his performances. He sometimes even stripped — to his underwear or even naked — before he was locked up. And, he was also smokin’ hot.
This year, there is an exhibit at the Jewish Museum here in New York City, featuring vintage photographs and memorabilia from Houdini, including those pictured below:

And if you are not in New York City, take heart. After March 27, the exhibit will travel to Los Angeles and San Francisco — and then to Madison, Wisconsin, of all places!
Hey guys, this is really important, seriously.
Yet another one of us — “Spuds” — has apparently died in a play accident. I read about this on the blog of Rubber Canuck. Spuds is one of many others, including the men listed below, who have lost their lives in scene-related accidents:
James (Bodisama)
David (TieGuy) in the UK
Alejandro Bulaevsky (BikeRubber) found dead in full rubber in his NYC apartment
Bill (Bostoncuir)
David (Gummidawg)
Rubberpanther
Adrian Exley
I do not claim to have any firsthand knowledge of how any of the men listed above died. I only know what I have read online.
But it is really important that if you are playing with hoods, gags, breath restriction, or chemicals of any kind, that you know what the fuck you are doing. Yes, bondage and edge play can harden the dick, but don’t be careless with your life. Have a safety mechanism in place, a failsafe, a backup plan, a bondage buddy, whatever.
