Here's a bondage site that's a little bit different. It's called Bound Jocks, and it focuses on hot, athletic guys in mostly rope bondage. The tour shows very clean, clear photos of mostly solo guys with good builds struggling in bondage, and there's a little gay sex, but it looks like this is mostly a solo site. Also worth mentioning is that there's no BDSM here, so expect bondage but none of the harder stuff often associated with bound men. The site offers exclusive content, weekly updates, model interviews and training videos. Sound good? Then join me for a look at the member area!
The Bound Jocks member area is clean and pretty intuitive to use. The site offers 20 videos, 18 pic sets and a section called "Basic Training" and some other sections. The links run across the top of the page, followed by latest updates with dates. The site is brand new, so there have only been a couple updates, and these are a week apart. There are some handy sorting options via dropdown menus, and below these are profile links for the director and the site's "bondage expert".
The videos are offered in 3 sizes of DRM-free streaming MP4. The largest and best quality videos the site has to offer are called Web HD, and are shown at 960x540. These are sharp and clear, but may be too hefty for some internet connections. If the largest videos don't play smoothly for you, try one of the two smaller broadband sizes. While these videos were displayed at the same size as the HD videos, they seem to have a lower bitrate and may play more smoothly. There were no downloadable versions or clips for the videos.
Bound Jocks also includes 18 photo sets. These are good amateur quality digital stills, but while the pics are actually nice and large, for some reason they're constrained to a much smaller size on the pages. They're either shown at 420x640 or 950x636, but if you click the small icon on the upper right corner of each pic, you can view the horizontal pics at full size, which is 128x853. For some reason, the vertical pics wouldn't enlarge for me using the icon, which is disappointing as they're nice and large, sized at 1280x1920.
The men of Bound Jocks are well-built. We're talking nicely muscled, but not TOO muscular, if you see what I mean. Some are pornstars or performers who appear on other gay sites while others are hot jocks who apparently like showing off in bondage. A surprising number of the sessions are solo, showing each guy first in undies, shorts or jock strap and then naked. Some struggle against ropes, in cock and ball bondage, while others play with bondage-like stuff, and then are put in bondage off-camera, so they simply appear bound after a cut. There are also 4 duo scenes that include getting cocks sucked while in bondage, or in one case a hot scene with 2 bound men sucking each other.
So let's talk about extras. There are 3 short training videos (all under 2 minutes) showing us the ropes. There's also a scheduled daily live show, and while the guys in the show are hot, and some do appear inside Bound Jocks, the shows themselves are not bondage themed. And last, in the free section is the blog, which mostly shows us updates but has some other things going on, and is worth checking out.
Does the site have any issues? There are a couple worth mentioning. First off, there's a pre-checked offer (sometimes called a cross sale) on the join page to the right of the billing form. Also if you choose to hit back and exit the join page, a pop-up will appear with a fake rep that tries to convince you to join the site.
Bound Jocks delivers athletic guys in sports clothes, underwear or naked, in ropes or other bondage gear. Expect some interesting positions, cock and ball bondage, gags and some blindfolds. The site is new, offering 20 streaming videos and 18 photo sets, and so far has been adding a new episode once a week. The action here is unusual, as most of the videos are solo but include guys tied up, struggling in bonds, etc. And then there's the live shows to get your hot guy fix. The bottom line - if you like a mix of beefcake and bondage, and don't mind streaming videos, Bound Jocks is definitely worth a visit.
