I finally reached the latest chapter after a week or more, I think. Phew, that was quite a read :D, but it's a good story; props to you, sir @bondagefreak! I wish there were more chapters after 333 (I don't know if I wasn't paying enough attention and the continuation moved to another story that still ties into B&G, or if it really stopped at 333).

Love how we got so many characters, all the tied-up play, and the sex scenes. The leather, socks, undies, and gas mask (I wish this showed up more) were so erotic and fit so well.

I also love the development of Nick and Steven's relationship. They went from long-time friends, with Steven being treated worse by Nick and Brad (still not my favorite character :lol:) at the beginning of the story, to being boyfriends. It's a well-developed story, after all!

@bond_G
Holy crap, that was a quick read! Who knows, you might've just set a new record!
Glad you enjoyed the yet-to-be-finished adventure.

At least now that you're familiar with the cast, you'll be able to participate in those team-building RP games ;) I take it Zack maintains his position as your favourite? Has your opinion of Shawn evolved over the course of this most recent book? I know you initially liked him, and then disliked him. I'm curious to find out where you stand on him now.

I'll definitely be adding your name to the tag list as soon as Nick & Steven's adventures resume.

Would love to participate in the games! :D
Hmm... Shawn in the most recent book, he's much more tolerable than in book VI I think? And yes, Zack still my number one :lol:

bondagefreak wrote: 7 years ago Chapter 67 - Nick's Tender Mercies
I'm a bit far back in this story as a newer active reader (was silent for a little bit too). Sorry for any spoilers, stop now if not up to here yet (Ch 67) but as more of a sockgag fan myself, so glad to see Nick swap out his cousin's briefs for one of his own quite stinky thick winter socks, although Steven still seems not to want that either 🥵 great chapter. It reminded me how hot yet scary accidental smothering can be from personal experience 😅 their unawareness can be so hot, especially when they're not really a dom and you're just asking some hot yet gentle guy to do kinky stuff to you, so a smother is normally not something they'd do, and it's by accident, super hot.. but it can become frightening if they don't happen to move and you can't really move yourself or communicate the issue but wow definitely hot reading about it. Different here, as Nick is dominant and intentionally smothers sometimes anyways, but definitely reminded me of some past fun encounters. I'm hoping to stumble upon some more deliberate smothers in future chapters, similar to what Brad and Nick doled out prior to poor Steven 😈

Big Mike so far is saving me as I enter Volume 6. I have to admit when Shawn pulled his BS, I was fuming. I felt so bad for Steven that part of me was ready to close the book on reading, and I had only just come back to the forum after checking out the conclusion of Twink and the Jock and delved more into Easy Prey 4. I was beyond upset because Steven had grown so much with Nick, the feet worship was incredibly arousing, my favorite moment and my personal fetish dream come true. Nick as this point has room to grow and he DAMN BETTER! Seriously I mean this in the most respective way I can, but if Shawn doesn't get a verbal chastise by Nick and Zack and maybe even his own bondage experience, it will be a WAR CRIME! XD I'm being hyperbolic but Shawn got me off guard and sadly at a time and mood where I just lost my tolerance for Steven's suffering and torment. But...it's a story. It's a journey...it's necessary. it just...brings me tears. My perspective is Steven is just trying to be loyal to Nick. Now...maybe he refused because he really didn't want to, uncooperative Sub behavior. I welcome clarification or alternative perspective, but i read the exchange at the beginning of Volume 6 as loyalty against coercion, Shawn realizing he has muscle, he has power, and Nick (Daddy) is not here. It...disgusted me at first...mostly because in my mind Steven has been through enough....but when you are a fictional character, enough doesn't exist.

I guess I just had a moment where the line between story and reality hit blurred, kind happens when you have a great writer, solid characters, and that desire to see a satisfying conclusion.

Just finished chapter 189 and I'm going to stop for tonight and pick it up tomorrow.

My thoughts on Shawn have changed a little bit. I've been really trying to set aside the empathy I feel constantly for Steven as he's just tossed from brute to brute, manhandled, and all manner of crazy things that have happened to him by really training my brain to remember that this is Steven's journal. These are his thoughts and it's entirely from his perspective. That being said, I can't shake my own personal feelings that Shawn through blackmail is coercing Steven. I find this to be indicative of his own myopic personality issues. Like Nick, Shawn is a big guy and he is used to muscling his way to get what he wants. Now even though this is not a direct use of physical strength, creating a situation and fabricating falsehood photographs to blackmail Steven is a form of power assertion meant to override the Free Will of another person. And even when I really close my eyes and try to disassociate this fact and really push myself into the world of fantasy to the benefit of the story, it still leaves a very bad feeling in my stomach. It's empathy that simply cannot be shaken no matter how hard I try. I think it's no secret that Nick talks about Steven A lot, especially to his friends and his family, which would include Shawn. And for you as his cousin to create this blackmail scenario!? Even if Nick gave him permission, let's assume that that happened, all Shawn would have to do in that scenario is tell Steven. It's likely that Steven would believe him, and even if Steven didn't, Nick's permission would be all Shawn would need to justify making Steven do it. If you needed to blackmail or find a way to course Steven into doing what he's supposed to do because I will admit Steven is a total brat who clearly at this point has not embraced his subservient role as much as I have in my personal identity, that not withstanding, Shawn has many more means to coerce Steven that would not have involved him threatening to ruin his cousin's relationship with his boy. If anything, I'm more angry that it implies a betrayal of Nick on the part of Shawn.

Anyway, yet again this is a long post, but I'm hoping that there is some good that will come out of all this. I highly doubt Shawn is going to receive any kind of punishment or retribution, but I don't doubt that in some way this experience is going to make Steven better, give him some growth and development, and may strengthen his relationship with Nick. And if not, then my man Bondagefreak has found a new way to tease me <3

Much love to everyone 😍

bondagefreak wrote: 5 years ago Really interesting comments guys! ;)
The fact that so many of you are jumping onto the "hate Phil" bandwagon really proves the point I made not long ago, about Steven's personal bias having a huge impact on your perceptions as readers.


My impression of Phil is surprisingly different than other readers based on what you've commented @bondagefreak in this older post. I wholeheartedly agree with you that Shawn is to blame for any genuine misery that Steven is feeling. I'm particularly upset with Shawn with regards to the blackmail situation not because of what it did to steven, but because of what it potentially could do to Nick, his cousin, his family member. It highlights a degree of disloyalty. However, I'm pleasantly intrigued by Phil. I would gladly take Steven's position and let that twinky twig smother my face with those putrid socks. *Siff* hell yeah! I'm also not that bothered by the spitting. Again maybe I did not read something correctly or miss something while reading, but nothing Phil has done so far during the pizza hockey game scene is any worse than what he's already endured from Zack or Nick. If anything, the one thing that is getting me fired up is the slapping from Shawn and Josh. Physical punishment through slapping, punching, or direct cause of bodily harm is a crimson red line I do not cross and do not tolerate. Honestly spitting is kind of hot to me; a way my Alpha marks me as his boy. I think I hit a point now where I'm getting better at recognizing Steven's bias and how the first person's perspective can really trick readers into thinking a certain way about certain things. And I will be totally honest that I came to the conclusion of liking Phil despite Steven's bias before responding to the above comment.

Only time will tell if Phil warrants me to reevaluate my stance on him. There's a lot of sadism in those piercing fiendish peepers

...part of me is very excited ;)

NICK VS ZACK: THE SHOWDOWN

Oh BOY! Daddy vs the White Knight! I'm just gonna fantasy of myself bound and awaiting a gnarly sock gag from the victor!

So let’s start with Nick…

Pros:


-The devil I know. I have a lot more information on Nick and this transcends the scope of all his positive and negative traits.
-Enjoys feet worship! Yeah, this is my thing! I can make Nick happy doing something that delights me at my core as a submissive person.
-Seems easier to please! I can cook, clean, and keep a house for Nick while not sleeping in so much like Steven does. My King begins to stir from his ferocious slumber, my ass is up and making him coffee and his breakfast!

Cons:

-Too aggressive in the bedroom! Nick can get a little beastly and rough during intimate moments. It can really kill the vibe for me as it, unfortunately, does sometimes during the story.
-Apathetic attitude and lack of playfulness. Nick feels more stoic, which translates to me as lacking an emotional connection.
-Myopic nature. Nick strikes me as the time of person to just railroad through life with his muscles. He often lacks foresight and the ability to make reasonable choices.

Now let’s talk about Zack…

Pros:

-Playful and gentle! Zack is without a doubt more attentive and calm. He may still be a predatorial muscled up jock, but he seems to know how to use his power in a measured and careful way
-A White Knight! Zack so far has proven himself to be capable of making me feel safe and loved.
-Tickles and teasing! Zack seems more sadistic in all the RIGHT ways for me.
-Displays an ability to show courtship. This is evident from his apparent treatment of Jeremy.

Cons:

-Unclear how I would please him. Obviously I’d open wide for his gags, playfully resist him with calculated approach, and be a good house boy…but I don’t know what EXACTLY makes Zack happy.
-Is the White Knight hiding his dark side? This gets me to the overarching negative. How much of the REAL Zack is shown to Steven and is there something more to him?
-Does his sadistic nature venture into kinks and torment that go beyond what I could handle? Is he just filthy smelly gags and tickles with clever tricks and deception? Perhaps these traits are a clue to a deeper deception and sadism lurking beneath the surface…

BOTH

Pros:

-I’d be safe with either of them and they’d make me feel safe.
-Male odors! Yeah, this is a positive for me. I’ve smelled many putrid socks and feet…many men fresh from the gym, most of which were in my college years …and it TURNS ME ON every time! Whether it's Nick’s putrid socks or Zack’s hockey glove, I’m sniffing like a good boy!
-Hunky muscle Kings! God…DAMN! These guys are incredibly sexy!
-They both have steady jobs, consistent schedule, and can provide for me

Cons:

-They are both blonde and I think they each have blue eyes…(correct me if I am wrong there) but my personal attractions are more centered towards darker hair color and darker eye color like brown, black hair and Green, Brown eyes.

And the verdict is…ZACK!

Yes, Zack is a bigger risk. I am not naive to the possibility that he may be hiding a darker side or more extreme sadistic tendencies. It's a risk, no denying that. BUT…the White Knight is a risk worth taking, at least for me it is. Nick’s biggest flaw in my perspective is a distinct lack of playfulness and an over-aggressive stoic demeanor. Now I know this is not necessarily true, but this translates into my psyche as “unloving” “too apathetic” “lack of emotional connection” and I feel bad for saying this. I know Steven and Nick have a unique connection that is full of love and care…but I am not Steven. I have similarities to him, but I have my own needs, my own perspective, and my own ways of establishing and recognizing emotional connections. Zack is more attentive and playful with fun tickles and adorable deception and manipulation. What makes these traits more desirable and acceptable to me is in my perspective so far in the story, Zack is not deceptive or manipulative in a way that goes TOO FAR and I get the impression that it's all in good fun. Combine that with his White Knight demeanor and courtship skills and I can see myself forming a genuine connection to Zack.

So yeah…here is me opening wide for Zack’s worn hockey socks and my nostrils ready to soak in that sweaty glove. *Sniff*

Reflecting on chapter 215, I realize that physical slapping is a real turnoff for me...and anal licking. It's...just not for me. I appreciate the different opinions here, but I think I've found my true red lines. The former because nothing makes me feel more unsafe and unloved than physical violence and direct pain infliction. The later because it's just not arousing...in fact it's anti-arousing

Hope you enjoy this one, guys!

_______________________________________________

Chapter 82 - Silenced


I was mesmerized. Entranced by Shawn's sudden and decisive demonstration of authority.
I wasn't kidding when I said that Jeremy appeared as surprised as I was by blond hunk's move.

The kid was still moaning and protesting when the beefy jock's giant hand came up from nowhere and decided to cut him off mid-sentence.

Poor Jeremy didn't even get the chance to finish off his desperate plea.
Shawn just clamped a hand right over his scrawny prisoner's face and instantly took away the boy's right to speak.



Jeremy looked positively stunned.

He was being wrapped up and mummified, against his will, no less!


He cried out and tried getting his Master's attention, but then this big, stupid brute just stepped in and decided to cover his mouth up.


The size difference between the twenty-year-old hunk and the nineteen-year-old boi, was nothing short of incredible. And it was made even more apparent, now that Jeremy's face was trapped under Shawn's enormous hand.

The blond hunk was a HUGE, towering mass of flesh and muscle.
He was built like a brick and had the hands to match.



Jeremy attempted to protest his way past the gag, but found himself being muffled up way more than he probably expected.

"Mmppfff...uugghmph." he cried out, unable to make any meaningful amount of noise from under his muscular captor's giant hand.


Nick and Brad kept laughing and chuckling, wrapping the boy up in a seemingly infinite number of duct tape layers.
They didn't give the prisoner's protests any heed, and probably didn't even hear the boy's latest attempt at getting their attention.


Not willing to give up, little Jeremy cried out to his Master again.
But it was no use. Brad couldn't hear him. Not with the loud roaring of two duct tape rolls echoing across the room, and not with the blond dude's giant hand over his face like that.

It took a while for the kid to finally understand the predicament he was in.


"Mmmggppphh..." he cried out, apparently unwilling to believe that his screams and protests could no longer be heard.

Poor Jeremy.
He was probably wondering who the fuck Shawn was and what right the dude had to gag him like that.


I watched as my young, green-eyed friend angrily narrowed his eyes down at the massive hand covering his face, and watched as he glared at it and starting mouthing off uncontrollably.

"Mmmmpphh! Uuuggghmmphh...uugghhhmmph! Uughp...uuggghmmphh." he screamed, cursing and protesting the hand that was keeping him silent.

He looked furious, and I couldn't blame him for feeling that way.
I'd probably be just as pissed off as he was if some dude I didn't know, came up to me while I was helpless and started putting his big fuckin' hands over my face.

Jeremy couldn't afford to stay angry for long though.


I watched as his facial features quickly went from anger, to incomprehension, and then finally, to fear.
Something was wrong.

He tried sniffing, but he wasn't getting any air in.
He tried crying out, but was immediately overcome by shortness of breath.
Without sufficient air in his lungs, the boy couldn't really make much noise.


I watched he as futilely tried wiggling his head away, and I nearly jizzed my undies when he gave Shawn's hand a look that betrayed absolute fear and terror.


Shawn wasn't paying the captive-boi any attention though.
Instead, he watched the wrapping process with great interest and didn't give any notice to that fact that his puny prisoner couldn't even breathe.

In his panic, Jeremy's eyes quickly darted around the room, and that's when he suddenly seemed to notice me.
The kid's face contorted into a look sheer panic, and his eyes silently begged me to step up in his defence.



I knew I should've intervened, but I was completely speechless and unable to take my left hand away from my tenting crotch. This was just too hot, and for some reason, I really wanted to be in Jeremy's place right now.

The boi had his ENTIRE lower face engulfed in young Shawn's giant palm, from the bottom of his chin, right up to the bridge of his nose!

His legs and arms were being taped down and wrapped up ridiculously tight, leaving him no means to fend off the thick, fleshy hand that was clamped tight over his face.



Surprisingly, in what seemed like a last, final attempt to cry for help, the scrawny prisoner managed to let out a pitiful yelp and wiggle around enough to draw a tiny filet of air in through his nostrils.

It was just barely enough to keep him conscious, but Shawn's large hand wasn't giving him any leeway.



Jeremy's once agitated protests were quickly reduced to faint whimpers, and he spent the next ten minutes taking in laboured sniffs of air from inside his hunky captor's fleshy hand.

Even after the boy had quieted down a lot, Shawn showed no signs of wanting to relax his handgag.
He just kept his hand tightly clamped over the mummy-boy's face and gave the kid no further opportunity to protest the treatment the jocks were giving him.



I'm not sure what was hotter though.
The fact that Shawn's handgag was enormous and ridiculously effective, or that fact that the hunk was so absorbed by the whole duct taping process and completely oblivious to the fact that his prisoner was suffocating in his hand.


Even now, the massive handgag remained in place and poor Jeremy looked like he was fighting to stay conscious and fill his lungs up.

Unlike Nick, Shawn didn't seem to enjoy doing what he was doing.
The fact that he wasn't teasing Jeremy or giving his prisoner any notice, sorta confirmed that, and at the same time, made the whole thing even hotter.

Using his large hand to silence the boy and stop him from being able to talk, was just a necessity.
Nothing more, nothing less.

And for some reason, I found that extremely appealing!



My helpless friend was too focused on staying conscious and getting enough air in, to pay me anymore attention. And I was kinda glad about that.
Watching his eyes water over and hearing him strain to get small amounts of air in through his nostrils, sorta made me feel guilty about not having intervened a bit earlier.
Wow! Super hot chapter especially this part 🥵🥵

A QUICK TRIVIA GAME TO TEST YOUR ANALYTIC CAPABILITIES


Use your analytic capabilities to decide where you think Nick, Steven, Brad, Jeremy, Shawn and Zack fall on the Character Alignment Chart posted below.


Hmm, this is going be tricky...lets start with the most difficult one...

(For each of these, I'm giving the characters a theme song of my choice, enjoy!)

Brad [Chaotic Evil] So Brad definitely falls into the category of Evil for me and there are two BIG reasons why. First, the treatment of Jeremy. Brad physically abused Jeremy with direct, violent actions including hitting, punching, and perhaps even kicking. Now, Jeremy may have submitted to this...and this makes this strike against Brad part of my personal bias. It FEELS wrong, but that alone doesn't justify Brad's Evil title. But his treatment of Steven...YES! Brad took Steven to the center of the lake, Steven bound and clearly unable to swim on his own, and made a vicious threat to force compliance. There is little left to the imagination of what Steven would have felt; terrified, realizing that this man had your life LITERALLY in his hands, and knowing that if he let you go, no one could find you in time. Hell you may never be found and your friends and family would never know what happened to you! I've tried my best to be as fair and open to Brad, even empathized with him in other posts, but this I cannot let go! Furthermore, he may have broken his word with Nick in this instance, placing Steven in harms way. Keep in mind that even in the earliest of Nick's and Steven's relationship, Nick was deeply protective of Steven. I consider Brad's actions to demonstrate a clear lack of boundaries and rules to be juxtaposed with his loyalty to Nick that, at times, Brad acts as though its disposable, useful when convenient but far from sacred. I, therefore, consider Brad to be a Chaotic Evil. Song - **Enter Sandman, Metallica...yeah...the vibe fits Brad. I'd be that boy preyed upon by Sandman Brad, XD

Shawn [Lawful Neutral] Now Shawn is tricky. Out of all the characters of the Bondagefreak Universe, he has had some of the worst "Stevenism" unjustly put on him. (Yes I say Stevenism, that is a technical term for "mischaracterization by story narrator perspective") The worst thing Shawn has done so far (Chapter 224) is blackmailing Steven into a blowjob. But I gotta say, as the self proclaimed EMPATH SUB, Steven can be a real BRAT! He constantly forgets his place, refuses to obey those who are put in charge of him BY HIS MASTER Nick!; just...he can be insufferable and unjustly judgmental of others. Shawn was wrong to put such fear into Steven, but its possible he doesn't know the whole story. In Steven's eyes, Shawn's blackmail put his entire world in jeopardy. Nick...Nick's support, their home, its all Steven has. Objectively this was an awful thing to do to Steven, but when all I have is Steven's perspective, Shawn is at a disadvantage and thus is entitled to the benefit of the doubt. Shawn may have been told by Nick that Steven will, or perhaps SHOULD BE MADE TO, do anything he asks, granting Shawn the same authority Nick has over his boi. Its beyond illogical to think Nick would be upset with Steven for doing as he was told like a good boi should. Anyway...my point is perspectives can be skewed and inaccurate and what information I have for Shawn does not steer him in either the Good or Evil path. He also doesn't really do anything to Steven that is outside boundaries that Nick would have put in place. OR rather he doesn't do anything to Steven or make Steven do anything different from Nick, indicating a sense of loyalty to his cousin. Shawn's decision to leave Nick with Mike and join in on the hazing of Josh further cements a sense of loyalty and commitment to the Jock-Hazing code prevalent in the Bondagefreak Universe. Therefore, Shawn strikes me as a Lawful Neutral. Song - **E.T., Katy Perry:** Kind of fits my perspective of Shawn. There are many verses that contradict each other, matching my still evolving perspective of Shawn.

Jeremy [Chaotic Neutral] Now Jeremy is big wild card. He does not that pushes him towards Good or Evil, apart from leaving poor Steven bound and gagged, seemingly planning that escape. But again, from Jeremy's perspective at the time, Steven was at best complicit in Jeremy's kidnapping from Brad, even if it may have been in his best interest. And then his actions throughout the rest of the story so far (Chapter 224) suggest an affinity for Freedom above all other virtues, forgoing loyalty and rules as well as virtues or vices. What I like about Jeremy most of all is how he seems to persevere with his head held high and his eyes firmly on the prize. He wants what he wants, has been punched, pushed, and kicked when he was down, but he did not give up and he seems to have taken control of his own destiny. Jeremy is a Chaotic Neutral, driven to pursue his desires, embracing Freedom. Song - **I'm Still Standing, Elton John:** Definitely fits Jeremy so far. There is still uncertainty in his future, but there is no doubt in my mind that our boi will always be STANDING!

Steven [Neutral Good] So I have certainly been one of several people in the forums voicing their annoyance with our staple character and narrator, Stevie-Boi, but he is without a doubt a Good person. He cares for Jeremy, is loyal to Nick, and even admits when he mischaracterizes other people. His seems to have a well adjusted moral compass that he sometimes ignores for selfish reasons. No one is perfect. The biggest mark against Steven is his lying. It was not right for him to make up a lie about Brad, especially when he could of just as easily told Nick the truth. Instead of resolving the situation, Steven kind of made it worse, driving a wedge between Brad and Nick. On top of that, Steven is a rule breaker. He does not show much respect for rules, authority, or a code to derive a sense of Good. Steven operates much more on a whim. Take Phil for example. Rather than establishing a set of personal boundaries, comforts vs discomforts, fine lines and red lines, Steven seemingly at random, prejudices Phil despite the Skater Boy doing little more than torment Steven with his size 9 foot stinkers and his skater shoes or spitting on him ONCE. Josh, someone Steven identifies as a FRIEND, slaps Steven, torments him with edging, tickling, and gags him with Nathan's shit-smelling underwear. But PHIL is the bad one? Steven has no concrete code or direct basis for his perception of Good. Its all from vibes or conceded perception. Now in fairness to Steven, his perspective can change and we see this with Shawn, and Steven acts as a pro-Good person, but I doubt he will ever mature out of this "Goodness by virtue of WHIM" moral compass. Steven is Neutral Good. Song - **Hot n Cold, Katy Perry** Yes another Katy Perry song! I'm a menace to society, I know. But I genuinely think this song hits all the notes of Steven, his many contradicting feelings and all, but at his core he is a still a good person and tries to make the right choices.

Nick [Chaotic Good] The Myopic Muscular King Nick is definitely a chaotic man. I mean his idea of courtship is kidnapping, bondage, gagging, and imposing his dominate authority on his prospective boi, Steven. A wild ride for sure, even if the conclusion was worth it. Yeah, Nick often operates in a short-sighted, disorganized fashion. He often acts before thinking in pursuit of the greater Good. BUT...Nick is not Evil. He is a bit of an anti-hero, rough around the edges, but he has gone out of his way to make up for his mistakes and wrongdoings, especially for Steven's sake. Even when he overrules Steven's will in favor of his own, there is a sense of protective instincts and an undertone of affection and love. Nick is Chaotic Good all the way! Song - **Superheroes, The Script** Nick in many ways is growing as a person just as much as Steven is. I think of him when I hear this song and Nick has become Steven's Superhero.

Zack [Lawful Good] The Hockey Heart Throb definitely sways to the Good side. His tender care for Jeremy, that I have seen so far, his treatment of Steven, showing him a degree of affection Nick hasn't embraced yet, all of this culminates into a exceptionally Good character so far. So the question remains is whether he gravitates to Law, Chaos, or neither. Based on his adherence to Nick's rules with Steven and his respect of their relationship while operating with his sadistic and playful tendencies, I see Zack as a man with a code of loyalty. He makes friends, keeps them close, and follows the intricate system of Dom and Sub relations as well as adhering to the Jock + Twink dynamic. Zack definitely uses his muscles and stature to impose his will on Steven and Jeremy, but he does so in a carefully measured way with tenderness and affection, almost like he is guided by a firm moral compass rather than letting his own whims govern his actions. Overall, Zack gives off a Lawful Good vibe. Song - **All Star, Smash Mouth** Honestly, just fits Zack's vibe! But then again Zack breaks the mold in the Bondagefreak Universe; he is more sadistic than most characters, but in a way that diverges from Josh or Brody. He is a White Knight for sure!

Very glad to read your perspective. So first I'll give my thoughts. I never once considered Steven's time with Shawn and his Jock buddies and college apartment friends to be anything in the realm of BDSM. I think that explains why I get more frustrated and turned off (in a moral sense) by Nick when he gets too rough and beastly with Steven. There is undoubtedly a blurred line in their relationship between consent and Dom + Sub etiquette. Again, the relationship truly is a work in progress and both have made great improvements. Everything that transpired between Shawn, Kyle, Joey, Chris and Big Mike in which Steven was bound and gagged by force is a none-sexual component to their growing relationship. Now I kind of hope to see Steven form some kind of friendship and mutual respect and kinship with each of the mentioned jocks, but any and all sexual components are generated internally by Steven from his perspective. In fact, each character has their own perspective of the dynamic

Steven: He clearly has by now embraced his sexual identity and his role within the dynamics between Nick, Zack, Shawn, and the Jock crew. He wants the hazing, the bondage, the gags, all because it satisfies sexual desires he possesses

Shawn: He is put in charge of Steven by Nick, maybe Nick told Shawn to be strict with Steven and to keep him restrained most of the time. Anything Shawn has be doing to Steven (With the blackmail as a single uncertain variable) is derived from his authority and likely responsibility imposed on him by Nick, his older and wiser cousin, the Alpha male among many "Sub-Alphas" for lack of a better phrase.

Kyle, Chris, Joey, Big Mike: They are all Shawn's friends, most of them Alpha and most Alpha males derive joy and amusement from imposing their strength upon other muscle Alphas and smaller statured males, like Steven. Some like Mike enjoy fun tickling and lighthearted touches, Chris, Joey, and Kyle all seem to prefer varying degrees of physical and verbal teasing, declaring the plight of their victim, be them a lanky twerp or a matched muscle jock taken by surprise and outgunned by an ambush, with Kyle in particular taking the initiative to start wrapping up Steven upon seeing the little guy admiring his physique and facial features. Kyle's lack of reaction to Steven admiring him suggests neither flattery nor disgust, though its possible that Kyle may just be used to the attention and Steven being either not his type or/and not his sexual preference elicits no response...though it is equally possible that anyone of these jocks may get a slight ego boost realizing that Steven likes how they look. Not all heteronormative jock archetypal males are comfortable discovering gay men are attracted to them, but many of them do.

Each perspective is different and exists within the balance of each scene that plays out within the story. Steven wants to be taped up and helpless...as least at first. The prospect of being restrained, taped up, and gagged by muscular heart throbbing hunks is a wet dream for him...and myself too! But admitting this, or God forbid creaming himself in full view of the rowdy throng of men would undoubtedly make several of them embarrassed, uncomfortable, and dumbfounded, even if they already know Steven is Nick's boi and the two of them are in a gay relationship. This is because for our ensemble of muscular jocks, tie up games and gagging with filthy worn socks and undies are not done to derive a sexual gratification...even if some of them would feel a certain arousal (Ill touch on this at the end). These guys are wrapping Josh in the duct tape to teach him a lesson in a way that does not involve direct physical violence, like a street fight or beating him to a pulp. No, they are bringing him to justice on behalf of one of their muscle brothers and roommate Big Mike who is physically imposing, but clearly passive. They then wrap up Steven...because why not? They live in this culture of hazing, ropes and gags for pranks, fun torment and teasing, and all of this does not require consent! The vast majority of these real life hazing and pranking tie ups are done among friends in a dynamic that thrives on having a good sense of humor and not taking things too seriously (Something I learned along the way reading this story and reflecting on my own insecurities). Its possible in many, even in this hazing ritual, that some of our muscular jocks derive a slight sexual pleasure from it, but that does not imply bisexuality or even an affinity for BDSM. The line can seem blurry, but the line is there!

I will say this though...like BDSM, Hazing has certain rules too. When someone truly reaches their breaking point, they stop laughing, they may even cry, the joke is OVER! This is where people may confuse consent with mutual respect. When hazing and pranking with tie up games are conducted, there is always an unspoken understanding that the person is not in danger, that its all in good fun. BUT when someone truly expresses fear, emotional stress, and is obviously no long able to take it as a joke, it is the responsibility of the hazers to recognize that and cease the game. I dont know how often that actually happens, but I myself experienced a form of hazing and I was driven to tears. Luckily my fellow boy scouts recognized that I can take a joke, but I was not okay with naked body touching...at least not at that time and they made things right. I hope the same happens for others...and again, I got older, matured, and now it doesn't seem so bad. I shutter to think what could of happened had they ignored my emotional breakdown.

Ultimately I could not really find anything objectionable in your post @bondagefreak Yeah i know, you so want me to challenge you! XD JK, but all I could do was offer how I perceive the story so far and maybe shed some light on why the line between hazing and BDSM can FEEL blurred when logically they are separate dynamics and that at their core, each of them hinges on some form of mutual understanding. A breakdown of that understanding is when the problems start. It does make me realize that if I were in Steven's place, I'd need to really use my acting skills to keep up the facade that I am resisting and not at all submitting to my muscle bound capturers. My only hope is even if they can see through my mask, they still play along and treat me no different, maybe even take enjoyment in how I show utter submission and deference once it becomes clear I am utterly helpless.

Take care for now!
