Male bonding

This is a fascinating series that captures the true spirit of this blog.
It's always interesting to try and construct a narrative out of a series of photos. These images are ordered by their file name. While it may be possible to understand a series of events from what's happening in the images, there's so much going on here, I think it's best just to go with the file names. So, what we will do here, is to construct a narrative based on what bits of information are revealed in the successive images

So, let's begin:
first, we're in Europe, most likely Italy. Look at the coffee cup and the map in the background.
Second, they're all already naked, but there's not a lot of evidence of alcohol. This is a little bit puzzling, is usually you would see a number of bottles of alcohol in the environment where everyone is naked.
Third, I don't see anybody here that looks under the age of say, 19. I'd place most of these guys in the range of early 20s. these guys should be old enough to know better.
As in our previous series, the fill the bucket game, it is clear that the organizers already know what is going to happen. Several of the critical components of this evening's events are visible on the table. There are two boxes of plastic food wrap, and a triceps press bar

What do we learn in Our next image:
first, tan lines indicate middle to late summer
second, the names on the blackboard confirm the hypothesis that we are in Italy
third, relaxed smile indicates the these guys are very relaxed with each other. This would argue towards the hypothesis that this is some sort of bonding ritual, conducted at the end of a series of training sessions for new members of the team. These are not strangers being pressed up against each other, these are teammates.

In this image, we've skipped a few steps ahead in the narrative. Indeed, there is a skip in the filenames between the previous image in this one. Here, we can see that the plastic food wrap has already been implemented, what is noticeable about this image is the element of implicit consent. It is already clear what is happening here. Team members are going to be bound together with plastic food wrap. But, you can see a third guy in a row, roughly the center of the image, is willingly putting himself in position to be bound into the game. Additionally, he's smiling. If he were uncomfortable with the circumstances, he definitely would not be smiling. The fourth naked guy, bent over in a receptive position, is also clearly not resisting the evening's events. Look at a lower right corner, at the guy in the red shirt, for hint of what's to come.


Another to step or two forward in our narrative. The rope, held by the guy in the red shirt, has been implemented, binding our two mates on the left. Lots of relaxed smiles, clearly, they are not uncomfortable with the circumstances.

The first appearance of alcohol in this series of images. That's a bottle for distilled spirits, we're not using beer here, which is generally a main component of wild parties in the Anglo-Saxon universe. The build of the guy in the green shirt gives us the strong indication that this is a rugby team. Also, the shorts. Those are rugby shorts.

If you look at the smile and the guy in the center of the image, it's clear that everyone is having a lot of fun. I think somebody in the back is getting a face full of cock

More piling on and positioning. Again, plenty of evidence of consent, not much evidence of unwillingness or uncomfortable. This image has the first appearance of something that's going to become more relevant and the subsequent images. The second guy from the right is holding an orange slice in his left hand.

More oranges. The two guys on the left are holding orange slices in their mouths

That looks to be a trophy positioned on the shoulder blade of the topmost guy.

First, and most importantly, the guy in the green shirt is not Marine Corps. Absolutely not Corps. That's just a cheap T-shirt you can get at a Street market.

What's most interesting about this image is the hand that is resting on the back of the head of the guy in the center. That's a very relaxed position. The fingers are completely opened, and resting on the back of his head. He is very comfortable with resting his hand on his buddies head That's the kind of hand positioning you use for a blow job. Contrast this with the hand that is resting on the right shoulder of the guy just underneath his leg. The figures are curled inward slightly, distancing the palm of his hand from shoulder. This guy is not resting as comfortably as the other

Our suspicion that there is a trophy involved, is confirmed. Since we now have a trophy as part of our narrative, it would seem that this group of guys is not a batch of new recruits, but more likely a team that has just won a match. I'm inclined to say that this may be their first win ever of a match, or of a tournament, because I doubt that a club would go through these orchestrations for every time a trophy was won.

Our friend of the redshirt is again preparing the next step in the evenings adventures. You can see the metal tricep crossbar hooked over the back of the green chair, and a towel.
The towel is now being put to use. Again, what is noticeable is the positioning of the hand on the head of the guy in the center of the image. That type of hand positioning is much too close and intimate for what you would normally expect between casual acquaintances. That's on the verge of being a caresse.

This image confirms the use of the triceps press bar and the towel.
And that's all we have for the series of images. If anybody else has a suspicion, or an inkling as to what might be happening here. Drop me a line. I'll include your comments in the broader narrative.
