Pirate porn.

The pressed-men of England's seaports in the 18th century

Impressment, colloquially "the press" or the "press gang", is the taking of men into a military or naval force by compulsion, with or without notice. European navies of several nations used forced recruitment by various means. The large size of the British Royal Navy in the Age of Sail meant impressment was most commonly associated with Great Britain and Ireland

Interesting R2, how did they do that? It sounds like they would just grab men off the street? I assume men in trouble with the law might be given the option of navy or prison too?

The pirate is drunk and coming on a bit strong. The young guy is still a virgin and although he’s intrigued and flattered by the much older mans interest he’s still scared. He wants to be taken but gently and he doesn’t like the smell of hooch on the mans breath. Not a boy, not yet a man.

YOUNG GUY: Sir, you’re making my nauticals tingle.

PIRATE: Just tell me about your poop deck.

R3 The Press-Gangs stole men from seaport inns under the cover of darkness, secrecy and inebriation.

England was still a feudal place. Each parish town had its stocks and gallows but the concept of 'justice' hadn't yet reached the small sea towns and rural shires.

Fascinating, thanks R6. God, imagine going out for a drink and waking up on a ship. Not fun!

Either work this plank or walk that short one.

Someone's going to do ANYTHING to avoid having to walk the plank.

Now I understand the double meaning of the title of that 90s show Press Gang, considering Julia Sawalha's character in it.

The style of this drawing is just like the drawings I would see in the books my uncles used to own when they were children that I would find left in my grandmother's house when I visited. Like from Boys Adventures stories or Mystery novels from the 60s.

I can remember feeling a bit... funny... or a bit... tingly... sometimes when I looked at them, or even read them and they would talk about them getting undressed for bed or something.

So seeing this picture sort of puts me in that headspace again. I always imagined myself in the position of a character in these pictures too, and this was way before puberty even.

That pirate has some booty to plunder.

They call me Captain Kidd. I’m ready to bury some treasure.

The night Dockside Doris found out why they call him Captain Hook

Nobody here needs any used textbooks.

Gaetz trying to convince Nestor that stories about that other 17 year old are all lies.

R4, you just described me.

The ship's captain needs a fresh Cabin Boy.

"I shall call you Roger. Roger the Cabin Boy."

Put your peter in my pan and watch me fly!

I believe I read this book as a gay teen. And I thought it was damn fine.

What that picture says to me is that Burt Reynolds tended to get a little handsy with young men.

It says to me...

"THE MIGRANTS HAVE MADE IT THROUGH TRUMP'S BORDER WALL AND THEY'RE HERE TO SEX TRAFFIC OUR CAUCASIAN AMERICAN TEEN BOYS!!! GET YER GUNS!!!!"

R21, what's the plot summary of that book? (I looked it up but can't find out much about it.)

It says, “Aarrrgh!”

r24 I can't remember much- I think a good deal of it centered on being bent over a barrel. I vaguely remember a Tom of Finland type cover.

Thanks R26.

I know it's not the point at all, but I'm curious as to how the world in the book became womanless. Because I always focus on the details less important haha ;)

Madison Cawthorn ingenue type assaulted by Turkish ice cream vendor.

Butt Pirate finds his booty!

Time traveler pirate romance mm novel. Commonly found on free books online. Along with vampire dominance romance, wolf shapeshifter pack romance and last but not least Viking time travel menage spanking ass romance. I kid you not.

Hahaha R30, I love people's imaginations. And what's lovely is that those books probably speak to someone out there who thought they were alone.

The pron version of Jack Sparrow and Will Turner:

Butt-Pirates of the Caribbean

"I know it's not the point at all, but I'm curious as to how the world in the book became womanless."

It was a discovery hiding in plain sight. All you have to do is pour salt on them and they shrivel-up and blow away. Within days the world was void of females, well except for the handful kept to make sandwiches and do the laundry

In the Chaos Walking world, the latest Tom Holland movie, based on a beloved YA trilogy, the world has also become womanless and Tom is raised by a gay couple. The Maze Runner world, YA books and movies, also starts off womanless.

Wow. Fascinating and terrifying.

Press gangs stopped in the UK after the defeat of Napoleon.

Butt Pirate

R35 I guessed that it was Robert Louis Stevenson! But the ethnicity in that comic book cover looks wrong.

The Wiki precis of the plot is very complicated.

I remember another story in this genre where the hero is drinking in a tavern at nighttime but wakes the following morning on an unknown ship far out to sea.

Dreaded pirate Black Wade has a cruel mind and an explosive sexuality. His mercilessness is legendary, but it wavers when he encounters the young and warmhearted English officer Jack Wilkins. Black Wade fucks young Jack.

He ate his lunch.

White slaves in the Carolinas? Was that a thing?

With a hammer, bang, bang

Flash bang, press gang

Bing, bong, ding, dong

Hum, hum, h-hum

R34. Patrick Ness, the author of the Chsos Walking series, is gay.

A womanless world?! The author is CANCELLED!

CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED must have been illustrated by "Twilight Men" in the pre-Stonewall Era.

Exclusive tops and bottoms are real, man.

Very real.

Why is the kid reaching for his ravisher's sword, but pretending to look so distressed? Little whore.

"See Dick Grab Jane's John."

Arrrrrrrrr!

Thar he blows.

It says, “I know where you’ve hidden the bar key, boy. Your chastity cage won’t hide that secret for long. Arrrrrrr!”

“You boys want some sex?

You can squeeze the sails,

You can lick the decks...”

Surprise Anal on the high seas!!! Oh, la-laaaaaaaa!!!!

Call me Ishmael.

Shiver me timbers!

HOT r4. Write the Lifetime Original Movie version PLEASE.

No sexual innuendo in the Disney version.
