Back in 1994 I found myself in L.A. with Bob Jones (of the foot fetish videos, not the university), and John Stevens, owner of Close-Up Productions. I helped them out on at least two videos (Hell Week and Bondage Dreams), scripting the stories and tying up the "actors" who got tied up: namely some real cute guys with real beautiful bodies, wearing white sweatsox and sneakers. That was, as you can imagine, a difficult, distasteful task for me.
It was agreed that I would have free use of the photos I took of the guys I tied up, and for all I know I did use some of them in Bound & Gagged. But I don't have the patience to go looking to see. In any case, those were in pre-internet days, when it was only possible to show a very limited number of photos in a 64-page publication, and we weren't even doing color photos yet.
The day before yesterday I came across an envelope full of my Hell Week pics, which brought back many pleasant memories, and which I'm happy to share with you. I'm pretty sure the majority of these have never been seen before.
I haven't watched the video since it was made some 20 years ago, so I'm not sure I've worked out the right order of events, but I think you'll get the idea.
While we're on the subject of Hell Week, the other day I also opened a box packed with pristine copies of our book, Hazing. Hazing consists of stories from early issues of Bound & Gagged as well as the first two volumes of Pledges & Paddles, the volumes themselves long out of print. Hazing is barely obtainable anywhere—I checked rare book sites. Two copies in "fair" condition are in fact available for $0.99 in Great Britain, but the first copy listed as being in "good" condition starts at $30, and those labeled "good as new" sell for as much as $129.93!
The books in my box are not only as good as new, they are new, brand new! And I'm offering them to you for their list price of $12.95, plus $3.00 Shipping & Handling (in the Continental United States). The $15.95 payment should be made, as usual, into my PayPal account, [email protected].
You can order Hazing with the certainty that I won't run out quickly—I have a whole box of them!!
Some great pictures - of some great experiences.

Excuse me?! These 'real cute guys with real beautiful bodies' (and I have to agree with that part) still have their shoes and socks on! Inconceivable! Unforgivable! Yeah, yeah, I know you can't please everybody - some people are into big leather (spit shined) boots, some like athletic shoes and socks (which I suppose goes with the 'jock' theme) - but I'm a barefoot boy all the way! What a wasted opportunity! ...Well, maybe not entirely wasted... - Morgan

I like my guys tied up tight and these beautiful young men, although they had their hands tied behind their backs, you could see the rope was rather loose around all of their wrists, and hanging off their wrists instead of being tightly knotted. Although I love your site, that is a disappointing bondage session to me. Sorry Bob.

A bit loose on the rope work there, Mr Wingate. But cute boys indeed, and fun to see the 90's clothing and shoes....
