From the desk of Metal

Metalbond_in_Yossie_Cell

Chastity device wearers, handcuff collectors, jail cell dwellers, combination lock experts, inmates, guards and many others have been emailing me with pictures, videos, true accounts of personal experiences — and stories! Lots of great stories!

A couple of guys have even sent me collars and other restraints to try on, via the mail! Thanks!

Anyway, I will be sharing lots of this stuff here on the Metalbond site in the coming days and weeks. Tons of bondage porn, as well. As you may know, I generally work on the site in advance and let it auto-update. So be sure to check back every day.

 

Midwinter Story Week

As I mentioned, a lot of you prisoners have been sending in some great STORIES for the Prison Library. In fact, I have enough stories right now to post a new one every a day for a whole week, starting this coming Monday. So watch for that.

Remember you can look up stories by title, date added, or by author name, using the dropdown tabs in the navbar. For a guide to the Prison Library, click here. There are now more than 400 stories here.

 

More new stuff

Metalbond_ButtCuffs_vertYou might also notice some other new features on this site. Right now there are six “featured postings” at the very top of the main landing page (as opposed to the three I had up there previously). I’ll be continuing to rotate these from time to time, as some of the more popular content for those who might be new to this site.

I also re-instituted the long list of “Blogroll” links in the sidebar to the left. (I had to take that down for a while because it was clogging up too much bandwidth, but the site seems to be loading pretty fast these days so it’s back.)

There are some new and different banner ads, as well. Be sure to check those out, too.

Also important: I have said this before and I will say it again. If you have not done so recently, be sure to click on some of the PORN sites featured here on Metalbond and buy yourself a subscription. By opening up your wallet and forking out a few bucks, you not only keep the bondage porn industry going but you also help support the Metalbond site as well.

Speaking of porn, I also recently added a “Metalbond Q&A” tab in the top navigation bar here on Metalbond, where you can find the interviews I have conducted with Sebastian Keys of Men On Edge and Bound Gods, and Jared of Dream Boy Bondage and Roped Studs. Click here to see the whole list. I have a few more of these interviews in the works.

 

 

Christmas greetings and goodies

Thanks to all of you guys who sent special holiday greetings for Christmas. I was especially moved by the gay erotic artist RH of Mencomix, who sent me a hand-drawn, fame-worthy card, illustrated with a boot, a cage and a ball and chain — all in his own inimitable style. I won’t post the image here because it is personal, but here is a teaser:

And fellow kinkster Trikoot, who is a guy from Finland into rubber and BDSM, sent a very cool card, showing himself encased in rubber and leather alongside his crotch rocket. As a special touch, he even used the Tom of Finland postage stamp on the envelope.

And a number of guys made end-of-year monetary contributions to Metalbond. I got two “minimum-security” level offerings, and one “super-max.” You guys know who you are, and a big THANK YOU to you all. If anyone else wants to follow suit (“life without parole,” anyone?) — the PayPal button is in the sidebar to the right. Just select your desired amount in the pull-down under “Contribute to Metalbond,” then click on the PayPal link.

 

Metalbond (hate) mail

Seems that not everyone who visits this site is completely satisfied. Here are some recent emails, followed by my responses.

“I have a love/hate affair with this ver 4 of your site. It does look nicer, however it takes three times as long for a page to load!”

Metal responds: I’ve had a few hiccups with things recently, but the site should be loading much faster now. If you continue to have problems, let me know.

 

“[Your site re-design] is a fresh cut at the stuff you offer, but you make the advertising level stuff the highest priority and the real reader content level material second level priority.”

Metal responds: Hmmmm, I do try to strike a good balance of content here. Have you noticed there are nearly 400 stories by 80 different authors? And I make no apologies for having ads on this site, or for posting sponsored porn content. Hosting and development costs money (more than just a “few hundred dollars”), not to mention the amount of time I put into the whole endeavor, which is substantial. Plus, I personally LOVE great bondage porn, and I am going to do all I can to publicize all the latest offerings.

 

“Would love to see some professional English writer assistance on the site. Chat is what we do, and your fiction could really use some English help.” (This comment was accompanied by a “minimum-security” $20 contribution to my PayPal button.)

Metal responds: The funny thing is, I work as an editor for my day job. So I really have no excuse. You are absolutely correct that I need to do a better job of copy editing the stories. And thanks very much for the monetary contribution, which is very helpful, and very much appreciated : )

 

But not all prisoners are disgruntled. I also received this message, via a very hot-looking, 20-something stud on Recon:

“I wanted to let you know I’m a huge fan. I love your profile, and your website truly is amazing. Thanks for sharing your interests with us to such degree. It helped me grow beyond belief, and it gives young guys a positive outlook instead of thinking of it as a constant taboo. Keep up the great work.”

Metal responds: Thanks! It’s messages like yours that tell me I must be doing something right!

 

Story week

Did you guys enjoy story week? Which was your favorite entry?

Story week will return probably in the fall, but meanwhile I’ll try to add a new story to the Prison Library every Monday night at 7 pm eastern time. Maybe more than that, but definitely every Monday.
