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.

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?

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

The bedding is white, and the background includes a plain wall with two mounted lights near the bed’s headboard, giving the room a minimalist appearance.

Went to Black Weekend in Berlin for the first time this November. Got the chance to meet TheBlueJewels (IG). Needless to say we had some fun in Prinzknecht!

He is bound with blue rope in an intricate harness style that secures his arms behind his back, with additional ropes around his thighs and legs. He wears a black T-shirt featuring a neon unicorn logo, dark jeans, and black engineering boots. His face is partially obscured by a black leather blindfold and a gag, adding to the restrained theme.

Illuminated by a pink light, a man is pictured standing next to a column, wearing a canvas straitjacket. His head is fully enclosed by a neoprene hood beneath a muzzle with thick straps. The top of the muzzle features a d-ring which has been tied to the column. The man's head rests against the column, resigned to his isolation.
