An aroused young man stands with his arms tied above his head as another man with a tattoo on his left shoulder kneels in front of him, performing fellatio.
This beautiful photograph by John Chilton was suggested by Derek Isme. I really like how the tied man is looking at his top instead of looking elsewhere, which makes the connection between them shine through in the picture. There is also traditional leather iconography in this picture, evidenced by the fact that the tattooed man—who is ostensibly the dominant partner despite performing fellatio on his bound partner—wears a studded leather bracelet on his left hand. In areas where subcultures like BDSM were (are?) unacceptable, subtle codes were developed to facilitate communication between people in the know. The simple example shown here is that wearing a leather bracelet on one’s left wrist indicates a dominant orientation whereas wearing it on one’s right wrist indicates a submissive one.
