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!

Houdini museum exhibit

Leave a comment

This site is all about putting men in physical restraints that they cannot get out of.  But every year at Halloween, I like to pay tribute to someone who took delight in being able to defeat such restraints. That person is the great Harry Houdini, of course. He died on Halloween in 1926, at the age of 52.

Although he got locked up in handcuffs and strapped into straitjackets to ESCAPE from them, there was also an element of exhibitionism and homoeroticism in his performances. He sometimes even stripped — to his underwear or even naked — before he was locked up. And, he was also smokin’ hot.

This year, there is an exhibit at the Jewish Museum here in New York City, featuring vintage photographs and memorabilia from Houdini, including those pictured below:

And if you are not in New York City, take heart. After March 27, the exhibit will travel to Los Angeles and San Francisco — and then to Madison, Wisconsin, of all places!
