HOUDINI CONNECTIONS

STORYLINES
INDEX

TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT:
it's only fair to warn you that you will find NO elegant stylish high-fashion fetish; no pretend 'bondage'; no willing slaves eager to be humiliated and punished; no "bois"; or conventionalized B&D or S&M; no suck-and-fuck; no agony or injury.

BUT
if man-to-man competitive endurance game-playing gets your juices flowing; if the restrictive potential of strong canvas, tarpaulin, tough hide (rather than dress leather), oilskins, industrial-weight rubber, army and bike gear used for “restrictive practices” gets your imagination sparked ... you're in the right place.

INFORMATION & KNOW-HOW
All the stories are packed with hot and sometimes heavy action, but in addition, each account of man-to-man game-playing is a treasure house of practical information. Even some of the most extreme situations described are based on real-life experience.

Fiction by Jim Stewart

THE AGENCY (words 42,000)
Men who need a place to explore their wildest fantasies safely, band together to make it happen. Their physical game-playing is here turned into an 'extreme sport'. But, many technical and practical aspects of such activities are described in this adventure story.
In it a quick-fisted Irish labourer discovers that there are many different forms of extreme challenge. Is he suitable recruit to THE AGENCY team, or just somebody The Team can enjoy practicing their skills on?
The logistics of a group of men getting together, maintaining a space where they can 'work-out' in whatever way pushes their buttons, is explored in this mind-stimulating tale. Achievable reality is the name of the game here. THE AGENCY could provide a workable basis for other groups who want to make it happen for themselves. MORE

BLACK PRINCE (words 5,203)
Fetish, in this story, is the type of slick, sensual fabric used for bike waterproofs "in the old days".
It is remembered with lustful enthusiasm as the author vividly describes the watching, wanting, wearing and eventually getting trussed-up in this unique motorcycle gear. The sight, smell, feel and sound of being encased in heavily pungent material comes alive off the page. MORE

BRIGHTON FRONT (words 7,065)
The topic here, is the various risks involved in playing games with strangers. In this story based on actual experience, the reality and fantasy of approaching a stranger in a public place, especially when the stranger is a tough ex-army man, is described and discussed. "Mind Fuck" is not too strong a term to describe this suspenseful tale of temptation and risk-taking. MORE

FANTASY & FACT IN PVC (words 7,000)
The physical details and psychological effects of willingly encasing oneself in a fetish fabric are vividly captured here. Is being forced to stay in it long past the time when it is enjoyable a penalty or a bonus? For serious oilskin and PVC, fanatics the devil is in the described detail.
This story is accompanied by a gallery of photos. MORE

HAMISH MACBETH (words 3,500)
This is an episode from a British TV series which never reached your screens.
Another example of the imagination picking up on existing characters and building them into a new scenario.
HAMISH MACBETH (played by the young Robert Carlisle), was a tough pot-smoking Glasgow cop assigned to duty in a quiet fishing community. In the real series he experienced only mild adventures ... but in my imagination I visualised him facing challenges more in tune with my 'wrapping, strapping, chaining and tying" preferences. Only incidentally, this is one of the few stories on site which involves a female in a dominant role. MORE

HOUDINI CONNECTIONS (words 46,710)
Long before there was a web site with the same name, this sensual 'Adventure Story' attempted to answer a lot of often-asked questions.
Married-with-kids British fire-fighter A.J. 'Chunky' Proctor, is typical of more than a few men who found their way to FETTERS without knowing quite why. Having decided to adventure into unknown territory - he learns a lot during this long story.
It is full of suspense but also contains graphic descriptions of many different games men play. Drawn from several real-life encounters, this fictionalised story is a good place to start for anybody entering the world of physical control and counter-control game-playing for the first time. MORE

IMPROVISATIONS (words 4226)
Actors learn to draw on their life-experience to make their acting seem more real. But when their private fantasies are what they want to bring to life, outside help may be necessary. The moral of this story is - be careful what you wish for: your comfortable fantasy may turn into a very harsh reality if you invite somebody else to take control of it - and you. Or would you be handing over responsibility because you really want to be tested? MORE

INITIATIVE TEST (words 5,200)
Real-life army exercises aim to challenge everybody involved. Occasionally, innocent bystanders get unexpectedly dragged into the action. Being taken captive and abducted can be an uncomfortable experience, even if it is supposed to be a ’simulation’. In my private world, I often welcome let’s-pretend situations which get tough to deal with - but this is a story from real life which was far more challenging than most stories I've invented. Believe it or believe it not - it happened! MORE

INTRUDER FANTASY (words 5,630)
This wishful-thinking version of a real event is packed with vivid descriptions of elaborate, self-applied restraint in diving gear. The action is hot and heavy in more ways than one.
This fictionalised version of events was written because (at the time) the real story could not be told. The question is, is the truth sometimes stranger than the fiction? You can judge for yourself because attached to this story is a description of what really happened. MORE
INTRUDERS - THE REAL THING (words 8,480)
If the 'Intruder Fantasy' pushed your buttons - you can now compare it with a moment-by-moment description of what actually happened. It was almost 20 years later when the real story could be told - by the author - who was part of the 'Intruder' incident. The reality was even more suspenseful than the fantasy ... and danger was as real is it gets. MORE

LOCKED IN LEATHER REVISITED (words 12,450)
Taking an already sexy story and adapting more to your own particular turn-ons can be fun.
John Strickland's story of two regular leather bikers, has a very authentic flavour. When one challenges the other to survive 24 hours encased head-to-boots in leather, there are several suspenseful episodes. But, me being a pig for detail (and one of Strickland's biggest fans) he allowed me to add a few of my own twists to this hot story for my own personal enjoyment. What's more, he agreed to let me share my 'take' on his story with other site visitors. MORE

LONG DISTANCE CONTROL (words 9,770)
Well-waxed bike waterproofs is the preference here. In an elaborate remote control game-playing scenario, the victim is ordered to make a long car journey wearing locked-on double thickness layers of greasy waxed cotton bike gear. The discomfort, suspense and dangers of this challenge is graphically described, and the journey is full of surprises. MORE
LONG DISTANCE CONTROL: Rukka bike gear version (words 9,624)
A good example of a fetish story being changed to suit a different person’s preferences. The physical process of altering the text, offered a reader of the original story hours of personal turn-on. Removing all references to greasy waxed cotton bike gear and replacing each with descriptions of soft and shiny Rukka bike gear instead, was a stimulating process. And the end result gives you two versions of the same story to choose from. Whatever turns you on. MORE

MAN TO MAN STUFF (words 41,670)
Another long story which addresses a lot of questions.
Originally a short story by Derek Arnold, it was extended and developed by me (with the author's permission) because the central character was so typical of many men who found their way to my door looking for answers.
The original extreme fantasy of interrogation while encased in heavy rubber, was extremely potent. It inspired me to write a background to the main character, an ambitious young police officer, and then extend the action into several other areas of man-to-man power-trips.
The intense torture in rubber described in the first section, is now followed by sequences first enduring a severe rope tie and then strait-jacketed. All experiences are described in authentic detail from personal experience. On a deeper psychological level, this hot and horny story explores the conventions of masculinity, sexual identity and homo-erotic fantasy. MORE

MECHANIC's TALE (The) (words 10,000)
This story grew out of a correspondence between the author and New York erotic cartoonist, Joe T.
Pure fantasy, the scenario explores conflict between an experienced grease-monkey biker and a wannabe Leatherman. Graphic descriptions of a culture clash played out in very physical terms. MORE
Correspondence between the author and artist JoeT. on the subject of turning a single-frame drawing into a described-in-detail story opens up a whole range of hot topics. MORE

RIDE TO GREENVILLE (words 8,600)
A British biker on his way from Los Angeles to San Francisco, discovers that in a remote rural community, they have their own brand of home entertainment. In this rainy region of fruit-and-nut farms, the slick modern bike-gear is a tempting exotic contrast to the heavy-duty oilskins worn by the locals.MORE

SCENARIO FOR A LEATHER FANTASY (words 10,269)
Visualising an encounter between an iconic New York Leatherman and somebody tempted to explore the Scene, provides the basis for suspenseful drama. Written in the style of a movie script, it is an exercise in 'visualising' the action more powerfully. When first published it was subtitled"The Anatomy of a Jerk-off Fantasy". MORE

TOP RIDGE FARM (words 16,000)
In the wilds of Yorkshire, two young farmer brothers grow up experimenting with power-exchange games. A wide variety of different severe bondage and endurance tests described in graphic detail. MORE

TRICKS OF THE TRADE (words 8,750)
Ex-SAS man 'Killer' McKillock, now working as head gamekeeper on a remote estate in Scotland, is invited to demonstrates his skills on a rainy afternoon. MORE

WAX JACKETS AND OTHER STUFF (words 25,550)
A long exchange of correspondence between two enthusiasts spins off into imaginative wishful thinking. There is a lot of enjoyment to be had from planning scenarios and exchanging enthusiasms.
In this instance the focus is again the sensual (sight, smell, feel and even taste) of well used and well waxed bike gear,. However, the same games can be played and the same excitement generated in other fetish materials.
This text has interesting things to say about the nature of 'fetish' in general. MORE

WELL WAXED AND WATERPROOF (words 9,000)
Intense challenge and counter-challenge activities out of doors whatever the weather, is the name of the game here. Again the waterproof bike gear described is from the days before Gortex. But the mind-set of a well-roped, suited-up biker left alone to deal with long and uncomfortable sessions in the mud, is the focus here. Written from real-life experience, this story paints a vivid picture of what such a challenge really feels like. MORE
