Update on the New York Bondage Club
Sadly, it appears that the New York Bondage Club is gone. They shut down at the beginning of the pandemic, and that apparently was it. The club’s website has been down for some time now, and emails and IMs I have sent to the guys who used to run the club have gone unanswered.
This makes me very sad, because in my view bondage clubs — where you can play in a safe space with other people present, or just watch — are a great place to learn and explore, especially for newbies in the scene.
I had so many great times at the New York Bondage Club over the years. When I moved to NYC in 1992 it was the very first place I went! And my very first time there, I met and got tied up by none other than Bob Wingate and James Bond themselves, of Bound & Gagged magazine! I became a regular there, going almost every Friday night for years on end, starting at J’s Hangout, then various places in Chelsea including most recently Paddles.
Here on the Metalbond site, I will leave the many postings about the New York Bondage Club up, but I am removing the links to their website that no longer exists.
Meanwhile, for those of you who live in other cities that still have bondage clubs, I encourage you to patronize them!

Man in Speedo Bound, Suspended by Sadist Group
By Speedobound
A Speedo-wearing sub interrupts closed gathering of leather Doms in a dungeon seeking “serious” bondage tops for “a little fun”
I arrived at the local BDSM clubhouse for a previously scheduled Bondage night. The doorman told me that the schedule had been changed and that a workshop was in progress, but it would be finished soon. He asked me what “my thing” was, and I told him I have a Speedo fetish and I love getting bound and gagged while wearing a tight Speedo. He said he figured I would be able to find someone to play with me when the workshop was over because he thought it was a bunch of tops/doms and they might enjoy having a little bit of bondage fun after their program was finished.
Let me explain. I have always had a mixed feeling about wearing a Speedo. On the one hand, it immediately makes me feel exposed and vulnerable, since it leaves very little to the imagination. Most men are not used to having their private parts seen, and few men, straight or gay, are comfortable wearing a Speedo.

Issue 2 of Bound & Gagged magazine
It’s impossible to describe the amount of excitement receiving a new copy of Bound & Gagged magazine in the mail in its discreet brown envelope caused me, every other month, back in the day. In addition to providing endless hours of jackoff material, this magazine literally changed my life. Learning about the existence of a bondage club with weekly meetings in NYC was a huge incentive for me to move here! And I met many men through the bondage club and in the Bound & Gagged personal ads — several of whom I am still friends with to this day.
To my great delight, Bob Wingate, the editor and founder of Bound & Gagged and also the founder of the New York Bondage Club, recently revived his personal blog — located here — and he’s also started publishing eBooks — available here — with some of his magazine’s greatest hits.
