I’m not usually a huge fan of boy-shorts, but I got a good deal on these and they feel great. My only complaint is that they are super low cut, so they feel like they are riding down on my hips, sometimes.
However, they move with me perfectly, they hug my curves, and they have a nice pouch in front that offers just enough room for my junk.
I shot some video of me, walking around and doing a bit of climbing, just to see how they look, and to show off a bit.
I am planning to visit the swamp today. I am going to wear these on my journey, and possibly in the mud. I feel like I should be able to wear them to the grocery store, but the world just isn’t ready for that.
And, finally, here is the 1 minute video I edited. The original video was 4K, but I can’t put the 4K video here. This one is embarrassingly small, but it’s free. 🙂 Here is a link to a somewhat larger version: New Boy-Shorts 540p
p.s. Wish me luck in the swamp! It’s been 2 weeks since my last trip!
I have been trying to perfect a scene I first tried on March 20 called “A Sinking Predicament”. First, I had to clear the water from the pit and install a new hard-point at the bottom. The first video ended prematurely when the hard-point broke loose.
Once I had the mud pit ready, and my camera gear in place, I had to tie a rope to my genitals and pass it through the ring at the bottom of the mud pit. Once I did that, I was tethered to the mud pit, so I had to do everything else without moving more than 8 feet from the pit.
After passing through the hard point at the bottom of the pit, the rope had to pass through a ring at the top of the tripod over the pit and reach far enough down that I could use it to attach to my wrist tie. Before I tied my wrists, I tied tied my ankles to one leg of the tripod so I would not be able to pull my legs underneath me, which would leave me no way to reverse my descent into the pit.
The last step is always the most difficult. I had to tie my wrists together and attach them to the free end of the rope I described in the previous paragraph. What makes is difficult is that I have to stretch out and tie the rope as short as I can. The goal is to take the slack from the down-line as I descend. Ideally, both lines would always be taught, but that’s really difficult to achieve.
I did all this on April 18, but I had trouble descending due to a twist in the ropes below the surface of the mud that I didn’t discover until I was finished shooting. So, I went back out on April 19 and tried again. The water over the pit had returned, and I realized I needed to add more mud to keep the water from coming back, so I hauled a lot more mud to the pit before making my 3rd attempt at this.
My first setup on April 19 didn’t give me what I wanted, so I reset and started again. The final run was pretty good, although it was a lot different from the original March 20 version. With a faster descent, more mud and slightly different rigging, it worked differently, but it was much the same position and there was still no way to escape from the pit, given that I could not get my feet under me and lifting myself by my wrists would just pull me down by the rope around my genitals.
So that’s the story. I don’t know when I’ll release the final video, but at least you’ll have some idea of how much work went into getting it right.
I was really busy, yesterday. By the time I got to the swamp, the tide was already very low. I was worried I wouldn’t have much time to play, and I had an idea I wanted to explore.
My great idea was that I’d lay this sheet of plastic over the mud and climb into the middle of it. That didn’t go as planned. The wind didn’t cooperate, and the plastic was too thin, so my feet broke through when I pushed my feet down. I was hoping the plastic would wrap around me as I sunk.
After I finished entertaining a sheet of thin plastic sheeting in the thick mud, I shot a more conventional mud session. I was worried that the gusty wind was going to destroy my audio, but my wind screen worked pretty well to muffle the wind noise.
The mud is still cold, so I couldn’t play in it like I would in the summer. I did enjoy 2 sessions that lasted around 15 minutes before I decided I’d better rinse the thick mud off my plastic sheet, so I could take it home and dispose of it. That gave me another idea. I would drag the muddy mass of plastic sheeting across the mud, then I would wrap myself in it for some crazy alien cocoon effect.
Getting wrapped up in the muddy plastic turned out to be a pretty good idea, albeit a dangerous one. I enjoyed my struggle, rolling in the plastic sheeting and trying not to cut off my oxygen supply for too long.
And finally, I managed to get some video of an alligator on my way back. Generally, they don’t give me time to get to my camera, but I had encountered this one on my way out, and he must have decided I wasn’t much of a threat.
There will be videos coming soon. It was a very nice day, in spite of the gusty wind, and I had a good time getting really messy.
I hate to keep declaring the opening of mud season, only to crawl back into my cozy den to hide from a cold snap, but here I go again. As we head into April, the days are definitely warming. Now, I need to wait for the low tide to favor mid-day on a warm day when I’m not stuck in the office.
Fortunately, I don’t need to wait for a low tide to play messy bondage games in the woods. Today was a pretty nice day and my camera person was available, so we messed up a poor, unsuspecting tree. I tried to protect the tree from getting muddy, but I couldn’t stop it all. Actually, I can’t take credit for my actions, because I was tied to the tree so I was unable to get out of the way of the mud.
Of course, we shot video, and the video came out pretty good. I’ll probably have the video up in a day or three, unless I get super busy with something. For now, enjoy the still images.
For those of you in the northern hemisphere, I hope you’re enjoying spring as much as I am. For those of you down under on the south side, I’m sorry that your warm season is coming to an end. I’ll try to share enough of my adventures that your winter passes quickly! 🙂
Yesterday, and most of today, the weather was quite pleasant. However, as I write this, there is a cold front moving in, so we’re back to the cool, windy weather we expect from March. At least it’s now officially spring!
So, I did some maintenance on the new mudpit in the woods, yesterday. I made a short video of me, moving mud and stirring the pit. I added the video to the video teasers page. Direct Link
Today we shot a scene in the mudpit. Things did not go perfectly, but the video looks pretty good. I really love my new camera, and my new camera operator is getting better with each shoot. Also, I polished the latex right before we started, and I love super shiny latex!
This is turning out to be a busy week, so you’ll have to get by with the free clips I’ve uploaded and these teaser images from the new clip. I’m expecting cold weather all week and I’ve got a lot of work in the office. I hope everyone is well.
