I’m especially moved by the male BDSM artwork of Jeryn, because it depicts more mature guys with realistic bodies getting tied up, which is so hot if you ask me! Some of the scenes he draws are playful and involve tickling, other situations are much more extreme.
The artist has granted permission for some of his work to be shared here:
Jeryn writes,
“It’s always been my desire to make up for a lack of representation of mature and older men, especially in bondage situations. I have been doing that sort of art for well over forty years (you can see some of my early efforts on my blogspot site), and I still think it is very much needed.”
You can see more artwork by Jeryn at the following locations:
Metal would like to thank the artist Jeryn for sharing the images above, which are used with his permission!
If you like illustrated stories, artwork and comics under the theme of “hero in distress,” you will want to check out the Aquadude Bunker site, which features lots of artwork created by artists like Amalaric. The new site is fantastic for those who like to see muscle guys getting tied up and tortured!

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.
Happy New Year and Happy New Decade, everybody!

Those of us “of a certain age” have warm remembrances of “The Hun” series. Bill Schmeling was best known for his gay male erotic art, with scenes of raw, rough sex that went far beyond what anyone else was doing at the time. pic.twitter.com/En6Z6oPcXo
