The film reminded me of an event that even today I cannot define. I was terribly bored, a long period of abstinence, and at the same time I was terribly depressed. I didn’t leave the house for days and hung out on the Internet while drinking enormous amounts of coffee.
Chatting with one character, I passed the time. He seemed to me a normal and OK guy. We also talked on the phone and nothing indicated to me his “special needs”. I decide to meet him and go to his home. A face-to-face meeting and talk follows. I liked him, he seemed like a striking and dominant man. That was also my biggest error in judgment. When we started having sex, the man lowered himself to blow my dick. He raises his head and says: Slap me. I wonder how I can slap so many people. He repeated again that I should slap him. I slap him lightly in the face, and he says it louder. When I realized what he wanted, I got so angry that I actually slapped him and beat him up like a dog.
I didn’t enjoy it, especially not in a sexual sense. I just blew it off.
So never say never!

Bound And Thrashed is a story which echoes the idea that its not until we are put in a situation that may seen unnatural to us, that we can truly uncover what we desire and what we are capable of. Nathan (Andrew Hood) is depressed and unable to move on from a former lover, his concerned friend Tess (London Gabraelle) persuades him into going on a blind date with Geoffrey (John Cunningham), an older man who has an unusual appetite. Nathans encounter with Geoffrey ultimately assists him in moving on from the past and leads him to self discovery and sexual fulfillment.
