Metalbond reader sees Jerry O’Connell tied up at the gym
A while back, a Metalbond reader sent me this information and a few pictures that he took from the gym treadmill:
Dear Metal,
At the gym, on the treadmill. Some show starring a young Jerry O’Connell — the chubby kid from Stand By Me who grew up to be a total stud — called “Sliders” comes on. Never heard of it. Wasn’t really watching. Then I looked up and … there’s Jerry, tied up, covered in electrodes, being zapped somehow. It was … hot.
A later scene had him strapped to a gurney. You might want to ask your readers to hunt this thing down for better pictures.
Thanks for passing this along! Jerry O’Connell also gets tied up in the movie Tomcats:
Burt Ward’s erection
Batman and Robin sure got tied up a lot on TV!
It was when I got home from school that I would watch syndicated episodes of the campy TV show Batman from the 1960s. It seemed that at the end of just about every episode the heroes Batman and Robin — played by Adam West and Burt Ward — ended up in some form of diabolical bondage. Often there were two-part episodes in which Batman and Robin would be tied up in a cliffhanger. Usually these episodes ended with the heroes tied up and facing some sort of slow and painful death. I would walk away imagining the heroes were still bound — even when I went to sleep at night.
Looking back on it now, it seems that Burt Ward was more into the bondage, more enthusiastic, more in on the whole thing, gave much better “verbal” — whereas Adam West played it much more “straight’” if you will.
Anyway, I credit the original TV show Batman (available at Amazon), along with the movie 20,0000 Leagues Under the Sea, with sparking my interest in erotic male physical restraint.
Mark remembers isolation tank bondage from TV series Hawaii Five-0
Isolation Tank Bondage from TV series Hawaii Five-0
By Mark of Serious Male Bondage
As a young guy, I loved to daydream about this kind of bondage and sensory depravation. I had seen a James Bond movie in which a prisoner was bound in an inescapable rubber suit and forced to drift underwater in a glass tank. Flexible hoses were used to supply air for breathing, feeding and bodily functions – but the prisoner could not see or hear, or touch anything that had form or shape.
The prisoner was kept under water so he would not receive any outside stimulation. This would eventually drive the prisoner insane, and he would divulge his secret information. This bizarre scene made quite an impression on me, and only fueled my list of erotic daydreams.
I communicated with the owner of the web site Hanks Dive Locker (no longer on line), who corrected me on my memory. He said the isolation tank scene was not from James Bond, but was from a special two-hour episode of the popular television series Hawaii Five-0. This special episode was titled “Cocoon” and featured an isolation tank which was used to extract information from unwilling captives, including the star of the series McGarret himself. During the first hour the tank was used on an unknown agent, and during the second hour it was used again, this time on McGarret!
Hawaii Five-O was produced by Paramount and aired on CBS from 1968 – 1980. If you do a Google search on “Hawaii Five-O” you will find a wealth of information on the series and places to purchase the DVD’s. If you do a search on “Hawaii Five-O, Cocoon” you will find information about this special 2 part Cocoon episode. It was a really cool episode and made a big impression on me, as you can probably tell.
A video clip and a few screen captures were sent to me by the guy from Hanks Dive Locker – I guess the show made an impression on him as well! If you like the video clip, imagine how exciting the whole 2 hour episode would be like on DVD. Since there were many episodes produced during the show’s 12 year run, make sure you order the DVD set which includes the ‘Cocoon’ episode.
Regardless of whether it was James Bond or Hawaii-Five-0, at age 55 I’m finally able to create my own bizarre sensory depravation bondage experiences – although I don’t have any secret information to divulge and I do it for my own pleasure. And what a pleasure it is!

Headshots and Handcuffs
Alaska State Troopers
My new favorite show is Alaska State Troopers on the on National Geographic Channel.
A lot of them are fucking HOT. Many of them are muscular, have short buzzcuts and tattoos. And lots of handcuffing takes place on this show. One of my favorite troopers is Howie Peterson (pictured above and below). In one episode, he detains a suspect on the side of the road and then releases him. Then, surprisingly, this guy asks the trooper to give him a ride into town. Peterson says to the dude sure, he will be glad to him a ride, but he will have to travel in the back of the squad car with his hands cuffed behind him, because he had just lied to him during the investigation. The guy declines and instead decides to hitchhike. Dang.
Hey, Peterson, you can use your cuffs on me, any time!
The Real Midnight Express
Does anybody remember the movie Midnight Express?
I remember watching this a long time ago and being incredibly turned on yet also scared half out of my wits. A large part of the movie’s appeal for me was the very hot and studly Brad Davis in the lead role. If you are not familiar with this Oscar-winning movie, it told the (mostly) true story of 23-year-old college student Billy Hayes, who was locked up for drug smuggling in Istanbul, Turkey. He eventually escaped.
An episode from a while back of the National Geographic channel’s Locked Up Abroad interviews the REAL Billy Hayes and tells his real story.
