Free Multi-Scene Bondage Short

      Comments Off on Free Multi-Scene Bondage Short

This short is composed from clips we’ve shot in the past 2 weeks. None of them have been released for sale. The opening two scenes find me tied to a log that has holes drilled in it. With my genitals tied to one and and my ankles tied to the other end, with the knot out of reach, combined with my wrists handcuffed behind my legs and/or around the log, I’m pretty much stuck. Add to that an up-line that hoists me up by the end of the log to which my genitals are tied, and I’m in quite a predicament.

The next scene is from my “Winched Tight” photoshoot. It was the only video we captured that day, and we did it at the very end of our shoot. The final scene is hard to describe. My balls are lashed to a tree and my wrists are being pulled back behind me. I suppose it’s worth mentioning that I am gagged in all of these scenes.

Just watch the video, and you’ll understand …

Noodling on the Spider Web

      Comments Off on Noodling on the Spider Web

In case you hadn’t heard, I made a steel spider web some years back. I decided to dig it out of storage and hang it up between some trees in the woods. As with any new structure that I put up, it takes me a while to figure out how best to use it for bondage. This clip shows a few short cuts from my experimentation on the web. As usual, I must keep the freebies short and low quality to conserve bandwidth. I might put a longer, full HD version in my clip store.

New Compilation Clip

      Comments Off on New Compilation Clip

This clip is a compilation of out-takes in which I (John Marsh) was struggling in bondage. Usually, I was alone in self-bondage and had to overcome some unexpected obstacle to escape. I was surprised, when I put this together, how many times I’ve been on the cusp of disaster … while also on camera. There have been some serious bondage fails that I’d already published, so those were not included in this clip. For the most part, this should be all new footage, but there may be some familiar scenes, since these bits are mostly taken from the out-takes from some of my precarious bondage predicaments.

I enjoyed putting this video together and I hope you’ll enjoy watching it. It has a few muddy scenes, it has lots of outdoor scenes and some indoor scenes. The clips span a period of about 5 years. My only quality complaint is that the only audio I had for some clips was from the GoPro and it’s not very good. None of the audio is terrible.

Self Bondage Failure

      Comments Off on Self Bondage Failure

Somehow, I allowed myself to get distracted enough that I stowed my keys in my gear case, well out of reach, before cuffing my wrists in locking cuffs to a chain that was stretched between two trees. My ankles were chained to my thighs and my genitals were chained to a stout tree root. I also had my ball gag locked on, for good measure.

When my release popped, my right wrist was supposed to be free enough to reach the keys, but the keys were to my right, about 4 feet away, and my left wrist was chained to the tree opposite the keys. Also, my right wrist was still cuffed to that chain, which also limited my reach. I could not straighten my legs or free my genitals, because those were also padlocked. For a little while, I was sure I was screwed.

In order to free myself, first I had to snag a nearby camera tripod with the free end of the chain. That took many attempts because there was a sapling that kept intercepting my chain so I couldn’t get it to wrap around the tripod leg, and the movement of my right arm was limited because it was still locked to the chain.

I did, finally, get the tripod within reach, but that was just a stepping stone to the final goal of pulling my gear case close enough for me to retrieve the keys. I had to use the tripod to coax the heavy case that held the keys towards me; inch by inch. You wouldn’t think it would be that hard, but the case was just barely within reach so I had to lift the fully extended tripod, holding onto just the very end of it with one hand.

During the entire struggle, my cock and balls were still chained to that root.

I recorded the entire debacle on video, and I made the video available on FetLife (I had my PornHub channel deleted).

  • Immediately after I was “released”
  • After much struggling to drag the case closer
  • Wrestling the tripod, in spite of my limited mobility

New Gadget

      Comments Off on New Gadget

I just published a video that was a test run of a new gadget I built for shooting my videos. When I’m shooting alone, which is most of the time, I generally set up 2-4 cameras so I can show different points of view in the final edit. The problem is that all of the cameras are stationary, which can get kind of boring. So, I created a camera stabilizer that can move the camera around with 4 degrees of freedom. The camera can pan right and left, tilt up and down and move up, down, right and left.

So, today I shot my first real test with it. I have some improvements planned, but I was anxious to give it a real-world test. The one problem that is obvious is the camera passing in front of a light. That wasn’t something I expected, but it is easy to avoid, and a camera doesn’t block as much light as a human camera operator. 🙂

Experimental CBT with a Winch

      Comments Off on Experimental CBT with a Winch

On Thanksgiving, it was just warm enough to step outside in a t-shirt and bikini briefs and explore an idea I’ve been toying with for a while. It took me a few weeks to gather all the parts I needed to build a winch control with a remote so I could tie myself up and still operate the winch.

In this little experiment, my wrists were cuffed to a tree (leather cuffs with a chain around the tree). My genitals were tied to a rope that was threaded through the winch hook and tied back to my ankles that were also bound together. The idea was that, as the winch cable was reeled in, my body would be picked up by my ankles and genitals as I was stretched hard against my wrist cuffs.

Originally, as I was setting up the winch and controls, I wasn’t planning on recording the experiment. I really just wanted to know how it would feel. However, I decided it wouldn’t be that much trouble to set up a single video camera to document how it went.

When I started, I used a chain attached to my safety belt (around my waist), to redirect some of the force on my cock and balls. The rope from my genitals passed first through the chain, which redirected some of the pull to my waist belt. After my initial test, I decided I’d give it a shot with a straight pull off my genitals. Although I don’t think I could stay suspended for more than a few minutes, I was able to tolerate having my hips lifted completely off the ground without crossing the threshold from good pain to bad pain. I’m not going to tell you it didn’t hurt, and I was stretched so tightly, there was no way I could have escaped without loosening the cable. Even though my cuffs weren’t locked on, I couldn’t move my wrists enough to undo the straps on my leather cuffs. All I would have to do, to make this a real predicament would be to set up a timed release and drop the winch remote control.

I might try to get someone to help me reshoot this scene, because it would be really fun to do it with another person in control of the winch. The scene could definitely last a lot longer if the winch cable was run up tight for a minute or two, then loosened enough that I could recover, then tightened again, etc. It would be especially good if my helper was a sadist.

Self Bondage in the Woods

      Comments Off on Self Bondage in the Woods

I know, I do a lot of self bondage in the woods, but this clip is a little different in that I open with some exploration and setup. For the first few minutes, I am walking and climbing in the woods, wearing tight fitting, jean short-shorts. Once I find my spot, I screw a ring into the tree and set up my release timer. I change into gold booty shorts, tie a rope around my genitals, put on a mouth filling gag, get myself roped tight to the tree where I installed the ring just for that purpose, cuff my wrists behind my back, and proceed to struggle and moan.

Personally, I think the best part is the opening sequence where I am climbing, walking and balancing in those hot jean shorts. I just like the way the look and feel on me, and it was fun to do some action shots in the woods.

The majority of the video is self bondage scenes. I start out with my balls tied to the tree, facing the tree, then I turn around so the rope from my genitals passes between my legs and through the ring on the tree, then I do a very short scene where I am hanging upside down by my genitals and my ankles. That wasn’t really part of the plan, and it was pretty precarious.

Free Video Short

      Comments Off on Free Video Short

This clip is of an experiment I did after another shoot, while the camera was still set up. I tied a rope harness on my hips that was also attached to my genitals. I pulled myself up as high as I could by the hip harness, then I ran another rope from my genitals over a tree limb and to a heavy weight. The weight would keep the 2nd line tight, so, as I inverted myself and swung closer to the tree limb, the weight took up the slack. By the end of this short clip, I’m inverted and balancing on my fingertips. Needless to say, I was in trouble.

On June 28, I did a photoshoot wearing a black studded top and some very tiny, red, jean-style short shorts. The photoshoot ended with my genitals cuffed to a tree and my wrists cuffed behind my back. Don’t ask me how that happened, one thing led to another, and there I was. Fortunately for me, the keys were near my feet. I just had to figure out how to get them up to my hands so I could free myself. Another great feature of this clip is that it ends with an orgasm, as I just had to masturbate at the end. The entire saga was recorded on video, and the video was just released in my By The Balls Clip Store.

This is a super sexy video. I had to stop and masturbate twice during the course of editing this video. I think it’s a combination of the struggle and the moaning. The red shorts are also very sexy. I just know watching it really turns me on. I hope someone else enjoys it as much as I do. Here is the direct link to the clip: Genitals Cuffed to a Tree, 2019-06-18

As I mentioned, this all happened at the end of a sexy photoshoot. So, here is a free gallery of some of the best images from the photoshoot that led up to the video.
