This update isn't exactly about bondage or fetish, but for those of us who play with rubber or latex you will find this video quite helpful. Our friend Rank is a walking encyclopedia of rubber knowledge, and in this 15 minute video he walks us through the detailed steps of repairing a zipper in a latex catsuit. As Rank explains, this procedure can be performed at home with simple household supplies.

For those of us who have played with latex for more than a few years, we can appreciate the value of this information. Rank's instructions seem to demystify the repair of latex clothing. Up until now I have felt that the manufacturing and repair of latex clothing was some kind of black magic, and that you needed to be part of a secret ‘inner circle' to obtain this sacred knowledge.

This video was produced for the RMSF.org (Rubber Men San Francisco) rubber club, and it can be found on their web site as well. More care-and-repair videos will be available on their site in the future. A special thanks to Rank and RMSF.org for allowing us to share this video on our web site.

Mister X is the SBI test dummy. He is willing and able to try just about anything I dream up and this was no exception. I have had this idea for a long time, but it had been partially dismantled and stored in the garage. I rebuilt it with a few improvements so all I needed was a volunteer. Mister X is not the youngest guy I have tied up, but he is one of the more flexible. I used cuffs, locks, and straps to put him in a awkward and vulnerable position, but give him the support to stay there. I learned a lot from this test and have ideas for a few tweaks. Stay tuned for some more subjects and a lot more interaction.

In Part 2 of Long Day for Mister, Mister X was in a continuous bondage moving from one restraint to another.  I included some pictures of the very beginning session. It was set up for someone who was delayed. I started with my "let's see if you fit" line. Soon Mister X was in the canvas Maxcita sleepsack with strait jacket sleeves. I then put him in a 665 Leather  Neoprene rear entry sleepsack. The very cool Studio Gum inflatable was next. Mister X had his fill that day, but I should say I had had my fill. I'm not sure if Mister X could ever get enough bondage.

Mister X called and said he had some ideas for a bondage scene. He always has a list of things and most of them are pretty cool. He brought some metal pieces, but most important a real craving for heavy bondage. I strung him up for a while in the studio by metal shackles. I cranked his arms up to a reasonable height, but he asked for higher. I figured it hurt, but he asked for it. I got tired of his clanking around so I moved him down stairs and strapped him to a transport chair. He seemed secure with some extra straps. I didn't want him to get bored so I put him on the bubbler bottle. This will give him something to focus on while I get my work done. I hope I don't forget he is down there he is really quiet.

As most rubber men know, rubber and water make a great play combination. Rubber provides a sense of enclosure and protection, and as water oozes in and around the rubber it creates a special kind of sloshy and exotic feeling that's sexy, erotic and really fun!

In this scene Rank locks his rubber boy in some bondage and torments him with a water hose in the shower. This poor boy can't escape the pressurized water treatment, but frankly, every rubber boy knows that this is not something you want to escape from anyway.

A special thanks to Rank and his rubber boy, and to the folks at Thunder in the Mountains for sharing this video with us. The black rubber piss hood is from Studio Gum, and the transparent bondage 'Fiddle' is from Wholesale BDSM.

I understand this chair has had a long run on our web sites, but it is always on every visitor's short list. I'm familiar with this feeling because I jerked off to the images of this chair for the years. It was stored in my living space at SBI for a very long time. During that time I had a morning ritual.  I would wire myself with my trusty tens gear set to orgasm, hit on, and then lock the self locking wrist strap. The process to release myself took a little time. I would sit there and hold back as long as possible holding back my orgasm. Eventually I was pushed over the edge with a powerful straining orgasm. Tens electricity feels great when you are aroused, but afterward it becomes torture. Sometimes I would just get in it and get horny, but I did this on a regular basis for a long time. The grip of this chair is powerful and my personal way to experience it is naked. Our guest had had a similar dream to be locked in the chair. I had fun strapping him in because of his size and by all signs he enjoyed himself. Notice I nailed his toes of the bondage boots to the base.

Hood- Top to Bottom Leather

The usual revolving door at SBI creates a drive by bondage scene. Today was no acceptation. Mark said Minddrive was stopping by. He is a frequent visitor who owns a very kick ass leather strait jacket. After lunch we settled in on a little sensory bondage on my floating board and sleep sack. After that he tried the new Mr S Leather Psycho hood and a Maxcita canvas strait jacket and boot. Then we did a suspension evolving into a lay down immobilization. A few hundred dry humps, an orgasm, and there you go. And there you go, the perfect SBI bondage pit stop.

Our friend Rank was able to borrow this unique vertical vac-cube from the folks at Thunder in the Mountains. The first video we shot with this piece of gear is a demo showing the assembly and operation of a vac-cube (assembly and disassembly is not as easy as you think). The second video is a hot play scene between Rank and his friend who is wearing a faceless Polymorphe anatomical latex hood. Watch as air is sucked out of the cube and his vacuumed-sealed body becomes outlined in skin tight rubber! A special thanks to Rank and his friend from RMSF (Rubber Men of San Francisco) for creating these two fun videos. The Vac-Cube was manufactured by Rage Rubber.

The first time I met our subject was about twenty minutes before he put on his rubber and we began to begin his session. MummyEd gave him a short tour and I helped him pick out a piece of gear and before he knew what it the process began. We chose the large gingerbread board because he wanted to be completely immobilized. The first layer was a full coverage rubber catsuit and hood. The second was an extra thick layer of pallet wrap followed by layer of duct tape. We incorporated boxing gloves for very effective hand bondage. The head gear works very well for head bondage after applying a posture collar. This was actually new for our subject. He told us of lighter bondage sessions and some solo sessions that were not actually bondage because he could get out. I overheard this in his conversation with MummyEd earlier, so turning up the volume was in order. We did wrap him exceptionally tight, but the silence mixed with soft groans said it was okay. He was wearing ear plugs and a blindfold so I thought suspending him would take him even farther into subspace. After a while I could sense his body was starting to get uncomfortable and bring him back a little. I always enjoy changing things to help my subjects drift off again. I began to wrap his body with wide leather straps. Later he thanked me for this attention. Our friend was brought back slowly as we systematically removed the bondage. He emerged weak, speechless, and very high. He was unable to say anything for some times.

In January of 2012 we had the pleasure of interviewing ‘PD', the creator of the infamous heterosexual bondage website ‘InSex' which existed from the late 90's to the mid 2000's. This site featured women restrained in highly unique and unusual bondage gear and extreme BDSM scenarios. The interview videos are shot documentary style, and are available on our SeriousImages.com website.

You may wonder what this has to do with an all-male website. Well, it's about the gear. This guy ‘PD' has the ability to invent, collaborate, and create some of the most amazing bondage gear the world has ever seen, regardless of the sexual orientation of its final use.

Being a gear-head myself, I decided to edit together parts of the interview that pertain to PD's bondage gear and share it on this website. NOTE - SOME OF THIS VIDEO CONTAINS WOMEN - so if you are not interested in viewing this update, I completely understand. However, for those who would like to see some cool and original gear, I'm sure you will enjoy these excerpts. In addition to the cool gear, we interviewed PD's right-hand man who is a metalworker and blacksmith from Russia and goes by the name ‘KGB'. This guy manufactures all of the metal gear for PD, and has a cool Russian accent that is right out of the movies (too bad he's straight). I hope you enjoy this 30-minute video compilation.

PD's original website Insex was shut down by the Feds in the mid 2000's because of its extreme imagery. Since that time, PD has launched three new heterosexual bondage sites: InfernalRestraints, HardTied, and RealTimeBondage. PD himself enjoys being tied up in his own gear, and if he would only create a gay-oriented website featuring his unique gear we would be satisfied. :-)

Here is what I know about PD's original InSex website: During its brief lifetime, InSex was the most popular heterosexual bondage website on the Web, attracting over 30,000 members who paid upwards of $60 per month for membership. The site featured unique bondage scenarios and extreme BDSM in both their videos and live webcasts - some of which spanned 24 hours. During this same period Kink.com was just getting off the ground, and together, this pair of cutting-edge websites paved the way for extreme BDSM imagery on the Web.

During this same time frame the US was hit with the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and, as a result of the uncertainty of security in the US combined with a conservative administration, the enforcement of the ‘2257' model ID laws, and the extreme imagery of PD's InSex website, he was pressured by the Feds to shut down. Today, InSex has achieved a cult-like status around the world and its original content is now a collector's item. It is my belief that the Hollywood movie series ‘Saw' was modeled after InSex. More information can be found on Wikipedia, and our five-part interview can be found on SeriousImages.com.

Our visitor ‘RubCop' (Recon) from Europe was about to fly back home after a visit. We had done many sessions of hot rubber and leather bondage, but it was all coming to an end. My love for total sensory deprivation had spiced up his interest. I have a style that sent him into a super deep place he had not experienced for years. We had done a leather session in the bondage chair that was nothing short of profound. This was a rubber session that proved to reach even deeper places. I will miss our friend because of this connection. We sent him off with a smile on his face and calm in his eyes. We made plans to continue our journey on another visit.

Our guest ‘RubCop' (Recon) is a true rubber fetishist with a great collection of gear. Layer upon layer of rich smelling industrial-strength rubber covered RubCop's Latowski chastity belt and, combined with his rubber fireman boots and jacket, molded gas mask and heavy shackles, RubCop was held in a state of rubber nirvana in a spread eagle position. Additionally, MummyEd got to have his first heavy rubber dry suit experience, and once fully encapsulated, he groped RubCop in all the right places. While all this was happening, our friend Yossie showed up and joined in the fun.

A proper fetishist can spend an entire day indulging in his kink, and in this video our European house guest ‘RubCop' (Recon) was certainly proving that. With his body encased in rubber and his rubber-sleeved cock in hand, he posed and played with himself all afternoon. He was fascinated with our vintage Outer Planets molded rubber hood and it seemed to turn him on when it was laced up tightly. RubCop helped us with some vacuum cleaning, posed on his motorcycle, and did some self bondage. This is a very unusual video. Enjoy.

Our guest arrived the previous evening and spent the first evening recovering from jetlag. It was time to begin some bondage. He put on his Fetters leather bondage suit. This piece has some history because it was personally made by Jim Steward who just recently passed away. The bondage chair was his dream for a very long time, so I thought that was the right place to begin. I taped his eyes shut, plugged his ears with 34db ear plugs, and encased his head in a fully lined Top To Bottom Leather discipline hood. As the bondage chair straps grew tighter I could sense this drift into subspace. I silenced others in the room to allow him to explore without interruption. Soon he was straining and exploring his bondage. His hands were trapped in leather mitts then taped down with black electrical tape. I felt him approach the edge of panic and heard a nervous cough. This was very heavy bondage and I was a relative stranger. His cough was a polite way to reach out so I immediately reached out and touched his hand. I could feel his relief which gave him the reassurance to continue his journey. After this we both knew this was going to be a very powerful session and very powerful week.

MummyEd did his thing and wrapped our latest guest 'RubCop' (Recon). RubCop brought a kick ass Mister S leather sleep sack with both internal and straitjacket sleeves. I could not resist putting my own spin on its application. I block laced it, locked and strapped it, and folded the sleeves to create bondage mitts. MummyEd pallet wrapped him to the table then we covered him with six inch wide military duct tape. I immobilized his head with seventy pounds of sand bags, and then held them in place with more pallet wrap and tape. While this was all developing there was an item being stored in a cardboard storage box on the other side of the room. Watch to the end of this video to see what was hidden in the box.

My good friend Mister X had a birthday. We first put him in the triple straitjacket bondage. Then after some food to celebrate, we did some more bondage to celebrate. This time I put him in a full body tap wrap and locked him in the standing cage. That other guy was an innocent bystander. Around here things happen to innocent bystanders as you may notice. Mister X was making noises I have not heard before. As a rigger I appreciate hearing my subjects enjoying themselves.

On this beautiful Sunday afternoon in San Francisco we first took our guest to Twin Peaks. The Castro was just over the hill so it made sense to visit. There were streets full of sun loving people. The main corner is 18th and Castro, so that's where we set up. Soon the passersby were asking questions or totally ignoring us. This is the Castro at it's best.

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon in San Francisco. The tourists were out in full with their cameras in hand. SBI had its own tourist (Chuck) so we thought he should see the sights as well. However we wouldn't be SBI if we didn't put him into some bondage. The body cage was our first choice so we arranged a van to transport it. The air in San Francisco was raw even though it was sunny so a straitjacket was in order. We placed him beside the road to Twin Peaks. This is a very popular place with cyclists, joggers, and tour buses. Even the SFPD stopped by to check things out. Their only question was "...Is there someone watching him?" I guess they understand the dangers of self bondage. The comments and questions from people who were passing by interesting, but the people that didn't notice (yeah right) were even more interesting.
