I’m so far behind on editing, I decided to combine scenes with a similar theme. In the month of August, I recorded several videos in a hot dungeon where I was brutally chained, handcuffed, gagged, etc. I sweated and I drooled, and it was fabulous. So, I assembled this clip from five different, sweaty events.

I had an idea I wanted to try. The concept was simple; pull my legs around a pole with a linear actuator (think slow moving winch) such that my balls were pressed hard against the pole. I expanded on the idea by tying my genitals to the pole and using the same linear actuator to pull the genital ropes tight against the pole, also.
Although it took me a while to work out exactly how I wanted to harness my genitals to get the right effect, the problem I could not solve was how to shoot the scene in a way that would clearly illustrate what was happening and make it interesting to watch. After all, I wasn’t going to be dancing around, and the pole was going to obstruct the camera’s view of my genitals. Since the entire point of the scene was the ball crushing pole, it kind of sucked that I couldn’t get a good shot of how that worked.
I did shoot some video from a few different angles, and I’m including a short edit here. Although I’m not sure about the success of the video, I did find the scene to be really intense. The crotch harness got pulled really tight as I struggled and complained loudly. The net effect was that my balls were crushed really tight and I nearly had to cut the harness off, because it was so tight I had a serious struggle getting it loose. Keep in mind, that I could not get away from the pole until I got that harness off.
John Marsh was in need of a mental health day, so he put himself in a painful, progressively tightening self bondage, at the mercy of a timer that would hold him for 35 minutes. That may not sound like a long time, but John knew that the ropes around his genitals were going to be very tight and this predicament was going to get painful after just 10 minutes.
John’s wrists were locked in leather cuffs and the cuffs were roped to the wall, opposite the rope wrapped multiple times around his genitals and rigged so that a weight could take up any slack, but John couldn’t pull that slack back. He was gagged and his ankles were cuffed and locked around a steel post. In this position, John could barely move, and if he tried to get some slack by pulling against his wrists and thrusting up his hips, that slack would be taken away and his situation would be that much tighter.
Of course, John did this as a way of centering himself, mentally. Although it was painful for 20-25 minutes and he had no choice but to tolerate the pain or struggle to find a less painful position; even if just for a few moments, until and after his release, his mind was focused on his body, and nothing else. In a way, his physical pain brought his body in sync with his emotional state.
It’s impossible to take a photograph of emotional pain, so the images you see here are a physical proxy for how John was feeling that day, on the inside. People who have never found emotional relief through pain won’t understand, but these things that John does are not as risky as much as they are a matter of survival.
(Note: John Marsh an alias I use for myself. He is a fictional character I use to illustrate my crazy bondage and mud adventures. John’s experience is mine; in case that wasn’t obvious.)
John Marsh is in a real pinch. Once again, he is tied between two opposing walls but this time his genitals are ensnared in a twisted harness that captures his genitals so tightly that he can’t even rest his hips on the floor. He is not gagged, but his ankles are chained and his wrists are locked into leather cuffs that are padlocked to rope, anchored to the wall just beyond his reach.
This clip was shot on June 18, 2023. John Marsh is cuffed and chained in four different positions that leave him no hope of escape and torture/torment his genitals with a tight rope harness that gets tied to trees so he can’t resist tugging on it and driving himself crazy with lust.
Gagged & Chained in the Woods, 2023-06-18
In this clip, I go through about 9 different configurations of being chained to the wall by my genitals and chain hip harness. Every position is both teasing and painful, as the steel cuff around my genitals is not gentle, and the chain running through it splits my balls and holds my man bits against my body while the handcuffs are trying to pull them away. All the while, I am gagged and handcuffed, and my ankles are chained to a spreader bar.
For wardrobe, I am wearing a tight pair of bikini Speedos and nothing else. My sweaty body and bare feet are on full display and the drool is streaming down my chest by the end of this marathon torture session.

In this clip, John Marsh is landing his kayak on the bank of a muddy creek when he finds himself tied to a tree with his arms tied apart and his genitals tied behind him. He can’t slip out of the tight wrist ties and he can’t reach any of the knots, so he is doomed to struggle in vain, as the crotch rope teases and torments him with every move.
I thought about naming this clip, “Captive Dance”, because John gyrates his hips against the teasing rope that has captured his cock and balls, but I decided to go with a more descriptive title.
This one is not a self bondage, and John’s captor shot the video, so the camera view pans around John’s helpless body, and John has no choice but to endure the bondage until his captor decides to free him … if his captor decides to free him.
I threw in some extra photos, below, from the same trip. The white shorts were not featured in this video. They might be featured in a future video in my muddy store; keep an eye on my mud blog for that one.

I like to call this “the ball of frustration”. With knees chained to the collar, ankles chained to the genitals, and wrists locked to the harness behind the back, I could barely move. I did manage to rotate my body so the camera could get different angles. I was sweating and drooling. It was great, and the struggle made me very horny, so I masturbated on camera after partially freeing myself and re-locking my genital chain to the wall.
This was an inescapable self bondage. All of the keys for the locks that were keeping me very secure, were being held far above me by a magnetic release. Once the keys dropped, I was able to release myself, but not before. The orgasm was great. All of these images are frames from a video. The video may not get published because I’d like to reshoot this scene with more than one camera angle.
This one is a hot, sweaty struggle that ends in a dire predicament. The beginning of the clip features on-screen tying and gagging. The plan is to use a genital rope pulling towards the front to prevent John from reaching the knot on the wall behind him that secures another rope that is also tied around his genitals, then through his handcuffs and the bench.
For about 10 minutes John struggles in his self-inflicted predicament in the hot dungeon, with sweat running over his body. When the front tie is released, he discovers that he doesn’t have enough rope between his genitals and the bench (where his handcuffs are also secured) to reach the knot on the wall. There are no other knots he can untie to free himself. He struggles desperately, sweating and drooling, to no avail. He had made a fatal miscalculation and now he is hopelessly stuck in the dungeon, unable to cry out for help.

Today I wanted to test and refine an idea I had while lying in bed a few days ago. This idea was appealing, in part, because it would present an obvious predicament to the camera. I have said this before, but the scenes I shoot photos and video of need to be more than just great bondage; they need to be visually interesting.
So, I worked on this concept in which my hips are held up by two ropes, tied around my genitals and pulled in opposing directions. I experimented with the vertical angles of the lines, how they were tied around my genitals, and how it felt with my arms and legs in different positions … even though my arms and legs were free in all but the last iteration. I grabbed four of the best photos from five different setups and more than a dozen photos of each one.
The third attempt above is actually the fourth attempt, because one attempt with an even steeper angle on one of the tension lines wasn’t worth including. Also, in the final attempts, I used a steel ring to hold the tension lines close together at my genitals. That made the genital ties more secure and also changed the way they pulled and crushed my genitals, creating a different sensation.
