Boy Wonder Bondage

The problem with Batman is that he never ages, but his teen sidekicks do.  So he has to keep changing his Robins.

1. Dick Grayson (1940-1983) graduated to become Nightwing.
2. Jason Todd (1983-88) either was murdered or graduated to become Redwing.
3. Tim Drake (1988-2011) graduated to become Red Robin.
4. Damien Wayne (2011-).

This gives fan artists a lot of subjects for their fantasies.

The original Dick Grayson was tied and threatened constantly, becoming the traditional "Damsel in Distress" for Batman to burst in and rescue.

When I was a kid, you could get bubble gum cards with Robin being threatened in various ways.

More recent Robins aren't threatened quite as often.

But still, fan artists have been quite busy with depictions of Robin in bondage.  There's a group on deviantart.com devoted to just pictures of Robin in Distress.

If you're going to show arousal or sexual activity, you have to make sure that Robin is over 18.

There are far fewer pictures of Batman himself being threatened, and those that exist tend to be humorous or bizarre, or both.  Batman being basted?

I can't even speculate on why Robin is more popular as an object of bondage fantasy.



















Even as an adult superhero.

Bart Simpson in Bondage

Bart Simpson has been our favorite bad boy for nearly thirty years, but he's not exactly prime erotic fantasy material: ten years old, with a nondescript cartoon physique.

But fan artists artists have obligingly added a muscular physique.

And aged him into adulthood. 

And given him boyfriends.  Artistic depictions of juveniles aroused or having sex are strictly forbidden in the U.S. (people have gone to prison for it), so artists must be very careful to indicate that Bart (and Rod and Todd) are adults. 

Regardless of whether the act is consensual or not.

Other Simpsons characters have gotten their share of fan art, but it's overwhelmingly heterosexual.  I did find Snake being manhandled.

And Sideshow Bob's brother Cecil, who appeared in just one episode.

Archie Andrews Naked

Want to see Archie naked?

Not K. J. Apa, who plays the teen-angst version of the venerable comic character on Riverdale.

The comic book character himself, an icon of our childhood, our preteen image of what being a teenager would be like.















During my childhood in the 1960s and 1970s, the  comics generally presented Archie with a nondescript physique, while lavishing attention on pinup models Betty and Veronica. 

But there were exceptions, and during the 1990s and 2000s, bodies by Michelangelo became the new normal in the Archie universe.

Fan artists on Deviantart.com and Rule 34 have obligingly produced some images of Archie naked. Usually he's having hetero sex, but there are a few with him alone.

Or with Jughead.

Sometimes they take panels from actual comic books, and add a penis.  That's the easiest method, but because the comic panels are quite small, the results are hard to see.  

And the physiques tend to be nondescript.

And the Archie of the comic books is usually depicted as 16 years old.  That means that nudity is ok, but arousal and sexual positions are illegal.

Better to draw your own, to give him a physique.

And make sure he's 18.
