More C4S Woes

Posted on November 10, 2025 by mudbondage

Today, when I was about to upload a new clip to one of my stores, I got a notice from Clips4Sale that my ID was going to expire in the next month and that I might have trouble getting paid if I did not update it.

Lets think about this, shall we? They have a photo ID of mine on file (that’s how they know it’s about to expire), and that photo ID proves who I am and when I was born. An updated photo ID would include exactly the same information, but with a different expiration date. Why do they need to bother me for an updated ID?

If that isn’t stupid enough, C4S doesn’t even pay me directly. They make payouts to a corporation for which I work, which is a legal corporation with a federally registered employer identification number. They take all the money and I get a salary. Why does C4S need to know how old I am, when I’m not the one they are paying?

There seems to be no legal or bookkeeping justification for bothering me with updating my photo-id. You might be thinking, “just update it, what’s the big deal?”. Well, I tried to update it using the tools available to me and they would not accept it. I have other things I need to be doing. I wouldn’t even have time to write this rant if I weren’t spitting angry and wanted to let you all know that I might be closing all of my clip stores in the near future.

The prevailing winds are trying to make it more difficult for small fetish (adult content) producers. North Carolina passed a new law that takes effect on December 1 that will make it stupid for me to hire any new talent. The writing is on the wall, and I have more important battles to fight.

A Mud Pit Short

Posted on November 5, 2025 by mudbondage

This was previously posted to X (@mudbondage) in late October. I recorded it on 10/30/2025.

I went out to search the mud pit for a blindfold I thought might have been buried there. I didn’t find the blindfold, but I didn’t give up my search before trying some creative search techniques and going down, head first.

p.s. The coastal flooding is on-going and the weather has been unseasonably chilly, so I have not been in the swamp in months.

p.p.s. I did find the blindfold, but it wasn’t in the mud.

New Clip from 2024

Posted on October 13, 2025 by mudbondage

I have so much unedited video, it’s a little overwhelming. When I go back through my logs, I start with the older stuff and look for shots that I think were interesting, since I may never get to them all. The only reason I am editing tonight is that I can’t sleep and I don’t have anything else I want to do. It’s almost midnight, so this is going to be short. Link to clip: A Swampy Mess in Cutoffs

This clip is a “fun in quick-mud” kinda scene, wearing my smallest jean cutoffs. I start out in the mud, but I get out and drive back in, headfirst. I get completely immersed and I stroke myself through my cutoffs on the surface of the mud for several minutes. There is no orgasm, as I was just getting started when this clip ended.

An Evening in the Mud Pit

Posted on October 6, 2025 by mudbondage

We’ve had coastal flooding here for the past couple of weeks, so the tide level has been exceptionally high. i.e. No estuary mud. On October 5, 2025, I finally uncovered my mud pit to give it a stir. Someday, I’ll need to evacuate at least half of the mud from my mud pit, so I can stir up the mud at the bottom. However, the surface mud had a really nice consistency. I still did my best to give it a good workout.

I hadn’t planned on doing any bondage, but the temptation was too string. Wearing only a red, bikini, Speedo, I tied a harness on my loins and tied my ankles really tight. Then I tied my harness to the up-line that hangs over the pit.

I did shoot some video, although I had only planned on grabbing some photos of me, stirring the mud, for my blog. This was all unplanned, so the images and video are a Hodge-podge. Here is a short edit that includes most of my struggles (it eventually got too dark to shoot the final scene).

Speaking of planning; I don’t know what I’m going to do regarding videos, past and future. I know I’ve talked a lot about a private site for sharing videos, but that is going to take some motivation on my part. I’m starting to think I should just find another career and leave all this behind. I’ve had so many disappointments, setbacks, and roadblocks that it’s become nearly impossible to justify the time and money I put into this endeavor.

I shut down one store and my main store has a lot fewer clips, since the Clips4Sale purge. That means I have a smaller library to maintain. I’m also thinking that none of my quicksand videos will be approved after review, so those are all gone.

A Different Clip for Sale

Posted on September 25, 2025 by mudbondage

First, let me say that I closed my Damsels in Mud clip store, because that one was going to take a lot of time, uploading contracts and IDs for all of my models. I thought about salvaging just the recent ones, but that would still have left the store nearly empty, so I just closed it. I think I got what I needed from that store and if you’ve been paying attention, you know I’m pulling back on Clips4Sale. I’ve had a few custom clip requests, recently. Those are great because I get paid up front, I make a clip, transfer it to the person who wanted it, and I’m done. I don’t need to promote it, make a trailer for it, or convince C4S that I didn’t violate any content “guidelines”.

Having said all that, this new clip didn’t have a clear destination before I closed my Damsels store. Now, it doesn’t have anywhere else to go but in my Mud Bondage store; which normally features only male content with some female cameos.

The story behind this clip is that John Marsh, wearing tiny denim shorts and nothing else, is doing some self bondage in the mud pit and he finds that he tied the ropes too tight and didn’t leave a knot where he could untie it in the mud. Furthermore, he can’t get out of the mud without getting untied, so he finds himself in a rather perilous situation.

He hears someone passing by on the trail and calls to them. Saturn just happens to be out for a walk when she hears John and responds to his call for help. As it turns out, Saturn is willing to help, but John doesn’t make it easy for her and he is rather snarky. Eventually, she lets him know that he is in no position to show his ass.

Check out the teaser, below, and follow this link to my clip store to purchase the full clip.

Watery Bondage Clip

Posted on September 16, 2025 by mudbondage

I know some of you are waiting for another muddy video and this one probably isn’t exactly what you wanted. I do hope some of you will enjoy it. When I was trying to select a video I could edit quickly, I realized I had three events with watery bondage that were all relatively short and I could knock out three clips with a single upload, if I put them all together.

Therefore, this clip is a compilation of watery bondage in the swamp from three separate trips. I think the teaser clip tell you everything you need to know.

On an unrelated note: Clips4Sale is going to purge all of the clips that I haven’t bothered to update with performer documents, etc. The would also review and reject all of the old quicksand videos. In any case, over 200 clips are going to go away from my Mud Bondage store and I’m going to close the damsels in mud store. I’m sure I’ll lose some old content from my clean bondage store, also.

I’m probably going to continue to post some new content, but nothing like I used to. I am still shooting custom clips, because those are easier and I actually make money on them. Also, Clips4Sale doesn’t get to censor my custom clips.

I’m still working out the concept of having a private site for people to download quicksand clips and special edits. I need a good way to secure it and provide downloads. I’ve got some good ideas.

Here is the link to the new clip in my clip store: Watery Swamp Bondage

Coastal Flooding!

Posted on September 11, 2025 by mudbondage

Another full moon has come and gone. Usually, if there is a full moon anywhere near the weekend and the weather is nice, I’m in over my head in wonderful estuary mud. However, our current weather pattern is producing coastal flooding and messing with my low tides.

I actually went out three times, in case I got a break. I stayed out there and observed the tide movements until I was the tide coming back in. The low tides were non-existent all three days, and the tide was even higher on the day it was predicted to be at it’s lowest. I tried to get creative and shoot some photos and video while I was out.

On Friday, Sept 5, my friend and I paddled to the fallen tree where I have been hanging out, lately. We shot a “stuck” video in jean shorts and my “Be Dirty” crop top. It was fun to shoot with a camera operator, and we were able to get some “action” shots as I navigated the swamp and eventually got stuck, up to my waist in some thick mud.

My friend went back out with me on Saturday, Sept 6, in the hope that we would have a lower tide than the day before. Sadly, the tide was even worse. It was, at that time, that a “coastal flooding advisory” was issued. However, I wasn’t yet aware of it.

There were a couple shots from the “stuck” video we shot on Friday that I wanted to reshoot, so I wore exactly the same clothes and we shot some additional lead-in video for Friday’s clip.

On the way out to the tree, we found a fence post floating in the creek and picked it up for it’s potential in a future mud-bondage video. As it turned out, we used it on Saturday for a quick scene where I was tied to the post and sinking into what little mud was still exposed. The original intent was just to shoot a minute or two of me struggling, but the post started to fall over and, eventually, I was face down in the water with my wrists tied behind the post and my genitals tied to the post. That turned out to be an interesting progression in the video.

When I went back out on Monday, Sept 8, I went alone after work. The tide was even higher than the previous trip, so there was no hope of mudding. I almost decided not to launch my kayak, but I figured I could paddle around and get some exercise, if nothing else.

As it turned out, I recorded some self-bondage scenes in two different locations, including the one we had visited on Friday and Saturday. This time I wore blue briefs and I shot all of the video on my action-cam. It was cloudy, so my action-cam was able to record adequate video. On sunny days, it just can’t capture the highlights and also the shadow detail.

I grabbed way too many video frames and photos for this post, so you’ll just have to check out the following gallery to see them all.

Day 2: Red Speedo and Boots

Posted on August 17, 2025 by mudbondage

I went back out to the swamp on Sunday to see what the swamp had to offer. The tide didn’t get as low as Saturday. I think that was mostly because we had a heavy rain on Saturday afternoon. The creek was running high so the tide went out very slowly and came in fast.

I wore my moccasin boots, again because I had hoped to shoot some more “Adventures of John Marsh” video, if the tide didn’t cooperate or I couldn’t think of anything I wanted to shoot in the deep mud. I also put on my red Speedo under my cutoffs and a cropped t-shirt. That’s what I ended up wearing for most of my trip.

I decided to return to the dead tree lying over the muddy stream and remove some of the timber that was getting in my way. I also wanted to try some more bondage on the tree. Since the tide never really got as low as I wanted, I got tied up over water and toyed with the idea of being suspended in the water as the tide was going out; eventually leaving me suspending in air (much more painful!).

When the tide came back in, I tried to find a similar predicament where I would be tied down as the incoming tide overtook me, but I didn’t find a good setup for that. I did, however, enjoy hanging around in the water. The weather is perfect for staying in the water for extended periods of time and I love the water.

I put together a vlog and I posted it on X. There is a low res version of it, below.

If I make a clip from this trip, it will be “The Trials of John March, vol 2”.

Saturday Swamp Vlog

Posted on August 16, 2025 by mudbondage

I went out this morning to catch a morning low tide. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The tide was lower when I arrived than it got the entire time I was out on my last trip. It was still going out, and it was going out with some enthusiasm, so I was quite hopeful.

I stopped to take some photos once I got into my John Marsh “cosplay”. After that, I wanted to shoot some John Marsh adventure video before I stripped off my clothes to do a proper sink. Most of my vlog is from the shooting of my little adventure video. If I’m wearing my boots and jean shorts, I’m adventuring. If I’m wearing black, rubberized briefs, I’m at my final destination, enjoying the thick mud until the tide comes back in.

It was a warm day, although it was mostly cloudy, so I took my time cleaning up and just enjoyed being out in the creek. I didn’t quite make it back before it started raining, but the rain did not impact my trip except to get my dry clothes wet just before I got back to my car.

I have no idea when I might be publishing more video, but I recorded some fun stuff on this trip, including a dive and some inverted scenes with the breathing tube. I was also pretty horny after horsing around in the thick, black mud.

Big Day, but no Low Tide

Posted on August 10, 2025 by mudbondage

My Saturday on August 9 started out with a collaboration video in the mud pit. I had several people there to help me shoot a little drama, including a very nice gal named Saturn Amaryllis. My part was to put myself in a hog tie, slide into the mud pit, and realize that I tied myself a little too well. I was unable to free myself or get out of the pit, so I had to call for help. Saturn showed up and tried to help me, but I was my usual obstinate self and I made her angry, so she just left me there.

However, the video hasn’t been released, so don’t get too excited about that, just yet. I’m not even sure where to release that video; in my Damsels in Mud store, or my male mud-bondage store. It definitely straddles the line, since it features me in tiny denim cut-off shorts, hog tied and covered in mud, but it also features a busty woman who also gets pretty muddy.

Anyway, later in the day, I went out to the creek to see if I could catch a low tide. It should have been a great low tide, because we’re going to have a full moon in a couple days. Generally, the tides around the full and new moons are the best low tides. I’m not sure what happened, because I got out there in time to see the tide reach it’s lowest level and start coming back in, but it didn’t even fall within 6 inches (15 cm) of where it really needed to get.

I wasn’t about to just turn around and go home, so I paddled to all of my favorite spots, just to check on them and look for opportunities to get muddy. I got some photos of shorebirds and I paddled at least 5 miles (8 km).

The last place I visited, after it was obvious the tide was coming in, was an old, fallen tree, lying over a small, private, muddy bottomed stream. I just wanted to get muddy and I figured I could hang myself from that tree and get into some mud, somehow. That plan was mostly successful. I didn’t have much time left to play, as the tide was coming in fast and the sun was sinking in the West, but I did make myself really horny and I got pretty well covered in black mud.

Trip Report: 2025-July-25

Posted on July 28, 2025 by mudbondage

I was not satisfied with the “vore” video I shot on July 23 so I convinced my housemate to brave the swamp with me and help me shoot yet another version of it.

I think we got closer to my vision, but I feel like I might have to shoot it all again! The good news is that I’m formulating a plan and, unless something completely unexpected happens, I’ll have the best vore mud video ever made (by me)!

In this version, I wore my moccasin boots and my camo shorts with a belt. I completely forgot to put on my “Be Dirty” shirt, which I had with me, just for this scene. I’m not sure if that is good or bad; I looked pretty good in the sun.

It was a very hot day, like so many of the days we’ve had, recently. We spent a lot of time in the water and some time just wallowing in the watery mud.

I put together a short vlog from our trip. You should find it below the images, but if you don’t, don’t look at me because I am sure I put it there.

BTW: I am still working on the implementation of an entirely new web-site for members only. If you are one of my regular patrons and you don’t have an account on this blog, hit me up on X @mudbondage (if you have an account). I am also on BlueSky @johnmarsh.bsky.social. The idea is to allow my old fans to download some videos that are banned by Clips4Sale. The new vore video will probably be one of them, when I finally get it done, because I want it to end in tragedy (no quicksand death scenes are allowed under the new rules).

I hope you enjoy my short vlog …

Trip Report for July 23

Posted on July 23, 2025 by mudbondage

This was an unusual trip. I visited a spot I haven’t been to in years and nearly got sucked under. Then I went to a spot where I wasn’t really expecting any really deep mud, but I was pleasantly surprised. I stayed there until well after the tide started coming back in.

Since it is late and I’m tired, I’ll let my vlog video speak for itself. It was a pretty good time.

New Clip and Vlog

Posted on July 20, 2025 by mudbondage

I went into the swamp, yesterday, and had quite an adventure. Adventure might not be the right word, since I essentially stayed in the same spot for most of the trip. It was arduous and very messy, though. I’ll let the vlog and the clip speak for themselves. It’s a 30 minute clip; one of the longest clips I’ve published in some time.

First, here is my vlog from the trip (the clip teaser is below) …

In a nutshell, the Treacherous Self Bondage clip is essentially a weighted bondage sink in the peat bog that involves lots of immersion and much horniness. I’ll let the teaser and the images speak for themselves. There is a longer description on the clip in my clip store.

I started out with my ankles tied to the tree and the weight hanging off of a rope around my genitals. It’s pretty safe to say, in all of these scenes, that the weight was hanging on my genitals. That is sort of the appeal for me. I like the idea of being dragged under by my most tender parts and teasing myself as I struggle to stay afloat.

Of course, as I struggle, I’m just encouraging the weight to pull me deeper. The best scenario (for me) was when my ankles were tied to my harness and the weight was hanging in front. I sank a little deeper every time I tried to move. Eventually, I was completely reliant on my breathing tube because I was well below the surface.

After several total immersions and gambling on my ability to get something untied so I could actually resurface, I found that the knot between my ankles had gotten hopelessly tight and I had to struggle for several minutes, while sitting on the fallen tree, to break it loose.

For a while there, I was thinking I might become a permanent fixture in my marsh. I usually carry a knife, but it was in my pants pocket and my pants were in my kayak, which was a good distance away.

Kayaking and Some Mud

Posted on July 15, 2025 by mudbondage

I had hoped the tide would be low enough to get some sinking video before the sun set, but I was being overly optimistic. We had a very pleasant paddle and I did shoot a short mud scene and some behind the scenes wet and muddy video. I arrived at the launch wearing a camo crop top, low-waisted tight jeans with a belt, and my moccasin boots. That is pretty much what I wore throughout the trip because there just wasn’t time to change wardrobe, much less record any lengthy scenes.

I think the short mud/quicksand scene was fun, but I would have loved to have had more time. I’m thinking that the short scene will be another freebie because it ends in tragedy and I’m no longer allowed to sell tragic endings.

My trip report (below) opens as I am leaving the boat launch. Then you get to see nature’s original “floatie”; the water moccasin (snake). It is pretty amazing how well they float. They are very easy to identify in the water because no other snake floats that well.

My trip report features my wardrobe while I’m still dry, some scenic video, a couple short bits from my little mud drama, some swimming/cleanup, and some shots of my muddy, wet jeans. I like to share my adventures in any way I can. I hope someone enjoys this short saga …

Free Adventure Clip

Posted on July 5, 2025 by mudbondage

As I have to do with these long clips, this one is rendered in low quality (960×540), but it looks pretty good. I went out on July 4 after working a half day, so I could kayak into the forest and spend the night. I was hoping to play in the swamp on Saturday (July 5), but the weather took a turn for the worse and I ended up paddling back without any stops so I could avoid the worst of the stormy weather. I got drenched by rain on both days.

However, I took my “short cut” on my way out, which, in spite of a high tide, forced me to get out of my boat and drag it (and my friend holding the camera in her boat) through the shallow, muddy parts of the channel. As usual, it turned out to be a short-cut in distance only. Even though the tide was high, it was an intense workout and took longer than the “long” way.

Thanks to my friend, I have some video to share. The video starts with some shots from camping and then goes into an edited version of my slog.

(This clip, being a large file, is subject to removal from my server, so download a copy if you like it.)
