It’s official – in a few weeks, I’ll be in Amsterdam competing for Mr. Leather Europe! I hope to bring my experience thus far to a wider stage and support kinksters and clubs across Europe with my knowledge and be the role model I looked up to, starting off on the scene.

I'm convinced that chastity is for twinks and people with thigh-gaps, because how are you going about your day or going to the gym without your thighs trying to constantly castrate you?!

A few days ago I did a thing, hiking to 5106 metres above sea level in Nepal on the Manaslu Circuit. I even took a LML+ flag with me

A rare night in full leather
The image features a person standing confidently in a dark outdoor setting at night, wearing a full leather outfit. They are dressed in a black leather biker jacket with quilted detailing on the shoulders, a black shirt, a black tie, and black leather gloves. They also wear matching black leather pants with quilted padding on the front. Their hands are clasped together at their waist, gripping a belt. They have a well-groomed beard, short hair, and wear reflective aviator sunglasses. The lighting casts a dramatic effect, emphasizing the glossy texture of the leather. A small rainbow-colored logo in the bottom left corner reads “LML+ Leathermen Leeds+,” suggesting an affiliation with a leather community or event. In the background, there is a dark leafy plant and a caution sign on a nearby wall, indicating an urban setting. The overall tone of the image is bold, stylish, and confident.

For a long time I had fantasies of inversions (hanging upside down). After a few inverted rope suspensions and a recent go on a bondage wheel, the reality is that I can't hold the position long enough.

Whether it's something I can train, or I just have too much blood in my body, I don't know

One of my earliest forays into kink. I remember travelling to M.A.R.S (Manchester Alternative Rooms) on my own back in 2016. It was my first dungeon, and like a kid in a candy shop I wanted to try everything!
The image shows a person hanging upside down in a dimly lit industrial-style room. The person is shirtless, revealing a hairy torso, and is wearing black leather pants and a black gas mask covering their head. Their legs are suspended, possibly secured to something out of frame. The room features a brick wall, a wooden floor, and some furniture, including a cluttered desk with a lamp and various objects. The lighting is moody, with a blue light casting a faint glow on the wall, creating a dark and atmospheric scene.

A long, long time ago (2018), I had my first experience with a vacbed. Needless to say I enjoyed it!

Although you'll mostly find me in leather and rope, rubber can be fun too!
The image shows a person lying flat on their back encased in a black, stretchy material that conforms tightly to their body, creating a vacuum-sealed effect. The contours of their body, including arms, legs, and torso, are clearly outlined through the material. The person’s head is also covered, and the material creates a smooth, shiny surface across the entire form. The surrounding area appears to be a room with a carpeted floor and some furniture partially visible. The black material contrasts starkly with the lighter background.

You wouldn't take advantage of someone with puppy dog eyes - even if they're already cuffed - would you?!

Self-bondage is OK, but it's much better if someone else controls when you get released! Don't you agree?

#gay #bdsm #gaybdsm #bondage #gayleather
The image shows a shirtless man wearing an elaborate black and red leather harness and headgear. The headgear fully encases his head, featuring straps and buckles, with an integrated muzzle covering his mouth and a decorative cage-like design over his face. His arms are raised, with his hands placed behind his head. He is also wearing leather wrist cuffs with metal detailing. The background is dark, providing a stark contrast to the red and black tones of the gear. The name "Paul Ryder" and the Instagram handle "@paulryderknk" are subtly overlaid at the bottom of the image.

Last of the photos from the mini rope jam - don't mind me, just going to rest here - October 2021
A man is lying on his back on a padded black floor, his head resting on a pillow with a dark blue cover. His face is obscured by a blindfold and a layer of black tape across his mouth. He is extensively tied with tan ropes in a detailed and symmetrical arrangement. His hands are bound together and secured against his chest. Ropes also wrap around his upper torso, waist, thighs, and legs, creating tight, intricate knots. He is wearing black shorts with red accents and striped black-and-white socks.

Another tie from the mini rope jam - October 2021

#gay #gaybdsm #bondage #ropebondage #shibari #kinbaku
A shirtless man stands against a plain background, bound in an intricate rope harness. The tan ropes wrap tightly around his chest, forming a symmetrical pattern across his torso and shoulders. His arms are secured behind his back, adding to the restrictive nature of the bondage. Additional ropes are tied around his waist, hips, and thighs, with a decorative knot arrangement over black shorts with red accents. The setup emphasizes both structure and restraint. The lighting is bright, and the setting appears minimal, with a smooth wall in the background. A man stands with his back to the camera, bound in an intricate rope harness that extends across his upper and lower body. The tan ropes are tightly wrapped, creating a web-like design on his back, with knots forming a decorative central pattern. One arm is restrained behind him, positioned near the small of his back, while the other is tied at the waist. The ropes also secure his waist, hips, and thighs, emphasizing his form. He is dressed in black shorts with red accents. The setting is minimal, with a smooth wall and some coiled ropes on the floor.

Throwback to a little rope jam we had back in October 2021

#gay #gaybdsm #bondage #ropebondage #shibari #kinbaku
A shirtless man sits on a padded floor in a cross-legged position, bound intricately with tan-colored rope. His arms are tightly tied, with his hands clasped together at the center of his chest, and ropes extend from his torso to his legs, which are also bound. His legs are wrapped in black knee-length socks with white stripes, and red shorts are visible beneath the ropes. His face is blindfolded with a gray bandana, and his mouth is gagged with black tape. The background shows a cluttered room with boxes, clothing, and furniture, suggesting a casual indoor setting.

Bondage always brings a smile to my face! Unless it's gagged/hooded, but even then I'm smiling on the inside! - MancsBound, November 2021

#gay #bondage #gaybdsm #ropebondage #shibari #kinbaku
A man is standing in a dimly lit room, smiling warmly while being tied with rope. He has a neatly trimmed beard and short hair, with the sides closely shaved. He wears a black t-shirt, and the rope is intricately wrapped around his upper body, pinning his arms behind his back. The lighting casts a soft glow on his face, highlighting his cheerful expression. The background is blurred, showing hints of brick walls and dim club lighting, with other indistinct figures in the scene. A logo with the letters "MB" appears in the bottom right corner in red and blue.

A man is seated casually on the edge of a low concrete wall outdoors, exuding confidence and style. He is shirtless, showing a muscular and hairy chest, and is wearing black leather gear that includes a harness, quilted leather pants, and knee-high leather boots with buckles. His outfit is accented with a black wrist cuff and a smart watch on one wrist. He sports a neatly groomed mustache and a short haircut, smiling slightly as he gazes off to the side. The setting is urban, with a staircase and building in the background. The wall he sits on is graffitied with large purple letters, adding an edgy vibe to the scene.

This was one of the most beautiful and intimate sessions I've experienced with a rigger. @nikokbk.bsky.social knows how to play with intensity and speed - Folsom 2022
