A bit more about Leo Ravenswood, who is arguably one of the most important male bondage erotic artists:
Mitchell of the popular Mitchmen site writes, “He covered the more exotic byways of bondage fetish such as pony training, lace up restraints and body bags, head harnesses and suspension … His captives are forced into restraining sleeves and made to adopt awkward positions which are both painful and humiliating.”
You can read Mitchell’s full write-up here.
Also check out the stories Bondage and Two Weeks in a Cage by Quandt, who says he was inspired by the bondage artwork of Leo Ravenswood. Back in the days before Twitter and Tumblr, Leo Ravenswood’s work was featured in magazines like Drummer and Bound and Gagged.
