Check-in 2
It’s difficult to overstate how much they welcome my
approach, down the stairs with my particular gait, teasingly slow. Their relief
is seen, and heard in the form of low groans, chorused. It’s just me (!) and
not another user, but also, their second three-hour stint is up.
And I like to feel welcomed by my toilet boys – it’s
encouraged behaviour.
I stand at their socked toes, arms folded across my chest,
ready to deliver a considered opinion.
‘That started to look quite ragged, even on screen. What do
you expect me to offer those men, as excuses, after all the training I’ve given
you?’
Neither boy speaks, but there’s uncontrolled retching and
deep, pitiful sniffing.
‘Fin, your gulping began to lack vigour… you stopped acting
greedy for your piss drinks like you were a thirsty boy, and the pace of
changeovers seemed to floor you.’
‘Sir!’ the blond says, neutrally, neither fighting my charges
nor accepting them.
‘Tom… seven feeds: Not all of them bulky, by the way! But I
could see a handful of challenges for you around quantity, and waste
consistency. Your last hour, though… the mouth-to-ass was tortured, your
chewing was glacially slow, and you looked like you’d rather be anywhere else
than flushing turd for a man.’
Silence. The diver’s eyes close, and he’s newly limp on the
floor. Upon my chastisement the boy drifts in and out of consciousness,
liberated – temporarily – from the need to muster total concentration for his
customers.
‘Tell me about Tom’s mood during that last hour, Fin?’ I ask
the alert teamster.
The 21-year-old responds with certainty.
‘When he could still talk properly to me, ages ago, he told
me he felt totally fucked, Sir. He said ruined, in fact.’
‘Thank you for the honesty, Fin,’ I say, gravelly. ‘And so,
I wonder whether Tom has any capacity left for solid service, during
your final third? Maybe not, I’m hearing?’
The blond youth clears his throat, startled.
‘I think he definitely has, Sir!’
The tune has changed pretty smartly, and Fin amuses me.
I believe Fin is astute in his judgment, but there are
several possible permutations.
I decide they both need a change of gear, with Fin swapping
to brown socks from yellow, and Tom switching to yellow/brown striped, from
brown. It’s a resolution that leaves both of them looking sullen and feeling
hard-done-by. The ideal resolution, for a finale.
‘What were your preferences, then?’ I challenge them.
‘Yellow, Sir,’ Fin barks.
‘After that hell… yellow, please Sir,’ Tom wheezes.
‘Ah-ha. But you understand how that doesn’t work, okay? You
know we can’t have two toilet bowls out of service, right? Think of the
complaints I’d get, eh?’
‘And what’s the reason you can’t put me out of service,
after SIX hours of shit?’ Tom has rediscovered his imperilled voice.
I scoff at him.
‘Because you deserve to be kept available, Tom,’ I say.
**
If you’re squeamish about what they’re eating, don’t
dwell on it but think narrowly of the sheer quantity of food they must
ingest, though appetite is zero and they’re stuffed. If it helps, imagine bowl after
bowl of porridge, thick and starchy and packed dense with rougher material
acting as a coagulant. The best porridge is heavy, but near flavourless. The
worst bowls taste of damp socks and overcooked Brussels sprouts. Sometimes, but
unpredictably, the porridge arrives barely mixed as a torrent of grey liquid
followed by a concentration of gritty, grainy base.
The porridge must be swallowed immediately, however served, and
when each feeder confirms they’re finished, the toilet boys have been trained
to offer a response of gratitude through their oval window, with a forced smile:
‘Thank you, Sir!’
Remembering thankfulness was never a life-or-death matter, but
in early training there were small rewards, or privileges, I’d distribute when
a boy recalled the need to be appreciative of his user.
It’s a mark of how intense the eating exhibition is, this
evening, that I’ve not heard a word of gratitude since the first hour. The
common response to yet another ‘bowl of porridge’, concluded, is violent
vomiting rather than a word of courtesy. However, thinking again of respect, they’re
trained to keep everything down until their feeder has left the bathroom.
Resisting the urge to puke right now is amongst the
hardest disciplines a toilet boy learns, and the cause of countless tears as we
argue whether, or not, it’s physically possible to stifle an urge to sick-up (it
is, and eventually it clicks!).
By his sixth hour of solids the quantity of ‘porridge’ has
left Tom with a domed belly; that famous tanned skin stretched thin, glistening
with his perspiration. It’s an interesting visual counterpoint to the dipped,
emaciated look of his tummy during the recovery days between recent scenes. By
week six, toilet service blows boys up then deflates them fartingly, like party
balloons.
**
When the tasking breaks new ground in a significant way –
only to the extent lives are at risk, let it be noted – there’s a privilege I
can give, to add longevity to the process. It’s not a right, it’s irregular, and
it’s not a safe word.
For the final third of their scene, the boys can mark
themselves Engaged and unavailable for new shit deposits. The Engaged
light can be set as many times as needed, subject to three rules:
1. 1. A boy can only go Engaged for a total
of fifteen minutes over the three hours.
2. 2. Boys cannot be Engaged simultaneously –
there must always be a toilet mouth available for solids. Status is given to
the first boy on the button.
3. 3. A boy cannot switch to Engaged mid-feed.
I add colour to my act of benevolence:
‘You don’t have to use it, and ideally you won’t. But
if you do, use it sparingly – I’ll look kindlier on the boy who finishes
with ten minutes still available and unused, than the boy who has zipped
through the entire allowance in ninety minutes. I don’t expect you to use the
privilege in the first hour, or because you’re feeling just a bit rough. This
is a warning, and please take it seriously: If, at the end, I feel my generosity
has been abused, I won’t make a lifeline available again. Clear?’
‘Thank you, Sir!’ (Fin)
‘Sir, I desperately need more time, and a break!’ (Tom)
Straightaway, I speak via radio with the techie guys in the
box, and order Tom’s privilege (only) be reduced to maximum ten minutes.
His jaw drops as the preliminary to whiny protest.
‘Clear, pig?’ I ask Tom again.
‘Yes, Sir, and thank you, Sir.’
‘Good boy.’
**
T+2 Re-brief
The dust has settled or, more accurately, they’ve cleaned
the bathroom of their voluminous orange vomit, diarroea and uncontrolled piss,
being the outputs of their exhibition and, particularly, the final third. It
was an epic mess, and great fun to view – I take Bitcoin for the downloads, by
the way.
With reference to ‘they’, you’ll have gleaned that both Tom
and Fin are still around. 48-hours later, their puke has more or less dried-up,
their body temperatures are receding below 40 degrees, and they’re starting to
at least contemplate the protein and vitamin shakes I leave for them. Many
pounds have been lost, and more of Fin’s straw-coloured fringe has fallen out
in clumps.
It’s important not to go overboard and foster a sense of
arrogance in the pair, but yesterday, T+1, I told them once and won’t repeat:
‘That was robust toilet service in harsh conditions. Give
yourselves a pat on the back and reflect on the positives for a day or so. Well
done, both of you!
And Tom: that was a very concentrated half-hour of shit
service, towards the end – five feeds in thirty-seven minutes, and I saw you
panic, but you didn’t clog-up. One of your feeders, who admitted to being very
full for you, rated you 8.5/10 and commented that you’re a very capable flusher.
I hope that gives you confidence to push-on!’
Now I’m perched on a bar stool and they’re on the floor,
naked at my feet. Chains of 60cm link the steel collars around their ball sacs,
with floor-anchored rings. Subject to the limitations of reach the boys may
squat, kneel or sit, but not stand.
I’m ready to address Tom and Fin, on next steps.
‘You’ve done your training, and you’re ready to move-up,’ I
say, looking into attentive eyes. ‘The cycle of parties is over, for now.’
I let the news hang, watching them compute it. There’s no
doubt their cognitive ability has slowed, over their time in my custody, and
they look to each other for clarity but find blank faces.
‘Yes, I doubt there’s anything new you could learn from men
around texture… taste… technique,’ I say, swishing my hand dismissively. ‘And I
don’t want to leave you in a limbo.’
‘Thank you, Sir!’ Fin says, encouraging me in his interpretation
of my train of thought.
‘You’ve still got drive, and there’s other things for you to
be doing, and excelling at,’ I say, pushing back on my stool until it tips to
two legs.
‘That’s… it, then?’ Tom falters, daring to dream.
‘It’s a new phase,’ I say, shattering the dream.
‘Shit!’ Fin raises his voice.
‘Yes, you’ve both earned the right to move into my private
quarters. I’ve asked you to see me, so I can explain to you what will be
involved in your new, 24/7, service.’
‘No way!’ (Tom)
I start by running Tom and Fin through the long list of
positives associated with their advancement:
-
Less frequent party service, though I can’t
promise never
-
Working with familiar toilet users, not a bunch
of strangers
-
More consistent regime, day to day
-
More teamwork and personal responsibility for
scheduling
-
New experiences
In truth my four-minute monologue, full of nebulous
management-speak, doesn’t motivate them. Heads are right down and they’re busted.
I don’t joke on matters of predicament and beyond my bullshit, they smell deep
shit.
‘But let me tell you what you’ll actually be doing, day
in and day out.
Between the two of you, you’ll provide 24/7 coverage for
the toilet needs of my household. The cycle of party events followed by days of
lazy downtime for you, is over as of now.
I have what conservative critics might call a
non-traditional household. There’s me, obviously, but you’ll also meet my
domestic life partner, Chris – he’s lovely, by the way, but sadly we’re
incompatible sexually, so we have an understanding. Duncan is my kinky partner,
and he’s not so lovely and sometimes drives me up the wall, but on the other
hand we have a deep sexual connection, in depravity. You’ve met Duncan,
unbeknown, because he’s been one of your party toilet sitters!
Then there’s Theo, who’s studying psychology at
university in London, but often pops home – whenever he needs washing done or
runs out of money, basically – you know how it is! Theo is my adoptive son,
with Chris, and he can switch from adorable to ultra-mean in an instant. Hopefully,
you’ll enjoy being submissive with a queer boy around your age, Fin.
The last man you’ll get to know is Jerome, who’s the
Business Manager for the studio, and indispensable to me. Jerome is Dutch and
prefers not to commute, so he has an open invitation to stay with us whilst
working, which he does for weeks at a time. We’re so close, I consider Jerome
an honorary member of my household.
Now, as you’ll have gathered, it’s rare for all five of
us to be at home together – we’d quickly get under each other’s feet! But it happens
from time to time, when our schedules align.
For me, Chris, Duncan, Theo and Jerome, you will be
providing the full-flush toilet service you’re expert at, for the duration of
their residence. None of us will be using traditional plumbed toilets, ever.
Also, me and Chris have dogs! There’s Bruno, my German
Shepherd, and Rolo, who’s Chris’s cuddly cockapoo. I mention this because
you’ll be meeting Bruno and Rolo before long – that’s just the way of the
household dynamic.
You’ve probably realised, by now, that teamwork is
essential. Every night needs a mouth on call, and you’ll need to decide between
yourselves who provides it. To be honest, 24/7 household service runs best with
three toilet boys and one on semi-permanent nights, but as you know, your
friends fell away at earlier stages, so you’ll deal with the situation.
That was a hell of a download, I know! Any questions, so far?’
Every sentence had been a fresh body blow, with physical
recoil. They’re disorientated. It’s news requiring assimilation, but none of
the developments will feel better following contemplation, I can guarantee it.
If questions do come, it’s always of interest to hear
whether they’re philosophical, or plainly practical.
‘Five guys…’ Fin moans.
‘But rarely gathered together,’ I remind him.
‘For how long?’ Tom asks, bleating. ‘I mean, is there any
point, whatsoever, in carrying-on?’
‘For first review at one month from today, Tom,’ I say.
‘So? And then? Another month, and then another six months, I
suppose?’
‘We have new boys, starting the training you’ve just taken at
day one. It’s possible that one or more of them will make the grade and relieve
you. That’s how you’ve come to be progressed, after all.’
‘But just as likely, not,’ Tom the cynic says.
I pause for impact.
‘There are uncertainties, for sure, so your mindsets need to
adapt, now, to a concept of permanence. Park the other possibilities – it’s
easier that way, believe me.’
He’d been stunned into silence, but now there’s a whimpering
from the young blond.
‘I don’t wanna eat more shit… I can’t eat more
fuckin’ shit, every fuckin’ day!’ Fin snivels.
‘Honey, you’re a superstar
eater! You can do this, so well,’ I enthuse.
‘There’s never any fuckin’ HOPE!’ Fin rages.
I think it’s best to move on, and not indulge him.
‘I want to let you know my expectations in the 24/7 gig,
boys… well, pigs. This will be a step-up for you, not backwards or treading
water. No days off, right? When
you become a toilet around the clock, it’s basically a lifestyle for you,
okay?’
Deeply bowed heads shake.
‘You’ll be held to the highest standards of service, by all
of us. Continual feedback and evaluation… you know the score. The first time I
have disobedience reported, the Engaged privilege gets withdrawn: I’ll
explain to you, later, how that lifeline button will work under the new
arrangements.
The second time I have a problem with you – woe
betide! – I will introduce an aspect of household service that disgusts even my
broad mind, and which I’m only withholding on day one out of my soppy sense of
compassion. That’s the second time you fuck-up, not the twentieth or
one-hundredth, understood?’
‘Yes, Sir!’ Tom says. It’s as though he’s perceived fairness
in my warning, and the continuation of an Engaged panic button is better
than he hoped for, I suppose, but I expect it to be withdrawn within 48-hours. Bear
in mind that the decision as to the acceptability of their performance is at my
discretion, entirely.
‘How long have we got?’ Fin asks.
‘You start after dinner, tonight,’ I say. ‘There’s three in
residence, overnight. Decide between you, ASAP, who’s going on-call from 23:00
to 07:00.’
‘Da fuck, man!’
I survey the naked youths, on the floor before me.
‘Look up at me,’ I tell them. Slowly, the nascent sewers
comply.
‘Which of you have I broken irreparably, then?’ I demand to
know.
They shoot a glance at each other, reluctant to move
individually. Perhaps they’re imagining a scale of brokenness, and they look
confused, but neither raises a hand though I give them twenty seconds to think
about the proposition.
‘I see. And, which of you expects to be broken by
24/7 household toilet service?’ I follow-up, projecting my sense of fun in
their dilemma.
Both of them snort, but neither are going to give me the
pleasure.
‘Because – cards on the table time – you must know I’m
trying to break you with shit, right? I’d be fine – happy, in fact – to push
one, or both of you, over that cliff-edge.’
‘We can tell!’ Fin blurts, derisive.
‘And so, exactly as it was six weeks ago when you started
learning, then as it is this evening and onwards: You drink, and you eat, and
you try to smile for a feeder occasionally.
But also, if you happen to be presented with something new
and nastier than you’ve seen before… you stifle the complaint and overcome your
every instinct to resist, okay? Work hard for my extended family, and you can
trust me to be as fair with you now as I was on day one, so we never get to
that cliff-edge of brokenness, okay? That’s my promise.’
‘What?’ Tom squeals, confused by my smoke and mirrors game.
‘Maybe in thirty days time we’ll be sat back here talking
about your future again. Who knows!?’
Looking at them, there’s not much sign of appetite to
carry-on, but they’ll probably talk to each other and rally themselves out of
their immediate doom loop. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s that
toilet-trained boys become stiffly resilient.
‘Just a few hours to go, then,’ I remind them. ‘It’ll soon
be time to get those heads and eyebrows shaved, and some steel chastity locked
on. Yes, pigs?’
**
Their cell – soon to be former cell – is wired for sound
and vision, recording constantly. They established this early in week one,
after they’d been disparaging about my toilet training programme behind my
back, or so they thought. It made me upset.
Tom and Fin have two hours to fill, and not much to pack for
their move to household quarters: toothbrush and paste; mouthwash**; safety
razor and shaving cream; flannel; the print of their favourite photo each,
selected under supervision from the galleries on their phones during day one,
before the devices were confiscated ‘for safe keeping and return’. Plus, their
individual performance books, updated daily over the last six weeks with their
answers to the same question, repeating:
What have I done and learnt today, that’s new?
( ** Some feeders prefer a fresh-smelling toilet boy before
first use, hence the mouthwash.)
In the vacuum the pair do as they’ve always done and worry
each other unwittingly with speculative talk. Cradling a coffee mug, I watch a
segment of interaction on screen:
F: So, I’m trying to
work-out whether this is gonna be easier, or harder, than the last couple of
weeks?
T: Really?
F: Yeah, seriously –
no parties, he said. No more gangs of eight, thank Christ! That was fuckin’
killing me!
T: Yeah, I know how
you feel. But I think this will be worse, Fin. Sorry!
F: Hmm, I dunno.
Remember, he said not all of the four guys actually stay there at the same
time. Sounds as though that student guy could be away for, like, weeks at a
time.
T: It’s five men, though,
not four.
F: No, it’s… the two
partners, the student son, and the business manager…
T: And the boss
himself!
F: Ah fuck, yeah!
Can’t believe I’d forgotten that.
T: So, I suppose we
have to look at typical best – and worst – case scenarios.
F: Yeah? Sounds like
a plan. What’s a best-case scenario look like, you reckon?
T: Well, I think it
will always be minimum two men in residence. They won’t let it go lower than
that, I’m pretty certain. There’s not going to be any relief.
F: Right, so – two
guys means one eat for both of us, each day.
T: That’s a minimum,
though, because they will shit two loads sometimes, for sure!
F: True. But not all
the time. And what do you reckon the worst-case scenario looks like? I mean,
basically – kill me now, huh!?
T: I’m worried
there’ll be long periods of four guys in the house, I guess. Look, it could
easily be even worse than that – all five guys together – but he’s kind of
guided us away from that, as a regular thing, I think?
F: Yeah, he
definitely played that down, I heard it.
T: Yeah, so let’s say
it’s four guys…
F: Two eats each… per
fuckin’ day!
T: Minimum. I think
it looks really bad, to be honest.
F: Because basically,
two out of our three meals each day become shit-substituted. Fuck!
T: Yeah, I’m really
petrified about that. All nutrition has to come from one normal feed per day,
which inevitably we’ll have no appetite for, because they’ll see to it.
F: Fuck. Do you
reckon it’s that bad, mate? Seriously?
T: Eh, yeah! This is
every single day for a fucking month, Fin. It would be relentless.
F: Shit. And, by the
way, what happens if there are three – or five – men around? That gives an
uneven split between us, yeah?
T: I mean, fair
point. I guess we have to take the third man in turns….
F: But… how do we
know, in advance, who will be around the house? Did he say?
T: No, I don’t think
he mentioned it, but maybe they will let us know… give us a list or a rota or…
something, so we can prepare?
F: Maybe, but he
didn’t promise that. Do you reckon we’ll always actually know who’s around?
T: Well, sometimes he
doesn’t mind answering questions, so maybe we should ask?
F: Yeah, it can’t
hurt.
T: But, thinking
about it, it’s possible – or likely, maybe – that we won’t know who’s arrived,
and we’ll just have to respond to bells or something…. actually, I’d say that’s
definitely likely.
F: Fuck, man!
T: It makes it
difficult to plan, between us.
F: Cunts! I hate it
that they’d do that.
T: They’d do it because
it makes it difficult to plan between us!
F: So, how da fuck do
we manage five-man days!?
T: I honestly don’t
know… but Fin?
F: Yeah?
T: I’ve been thinking
about something else the boss said.
F: Yeah? What?
T: Did you register
his mention of the dogs?
F: In passing. I didn’t
think much of it. He said we’d be meeting them, I think?
T: He did say that.
F: And? What are you
worried about?
T: I don’t know any
more than you do…
F: But? Come on?
T: I could be crazy…
but… the particular way the dogs were mentioned as being a part of the
household. I think it’s possible they’ll force some sort of… interaction…
between us and the dogs.
F: Holy fuck!
T: I dunno, though.
F: Like what? You’re
shitting me, now! C’mon!
T: I don’t even want
to think about it… to say it.
F: Fuck, man! You’re
thinking sexual interaction!?
T: I dunno. I just
don’t know, Fin.
F: Mate, come on!? NOT
sex? What? What da fuck!?
T: There’s been no
sex since we started, has there? I thought he was certain to try and force us
very early, but he hasn’t.
F: I know, we both
thought that motherfucker would try it on.
T: But it never
happened, did it? It’s just been piss and shit, always. Sorry – toilet
service! Better get it right.
F: Yeah, of course.
But you reckon the boss might try sexing us with the fuckin’ hounds!?
T: Maybe. You know as
much as I do. But…
F: Yeah?
T: There’s another
scenario, where he stays consistent with what we’ve been trained through so
far. But he just extends the concept.
F: Mate? What?
T: I still think the
mention of dogs was too… deliberate.
F: Wait… no? You’re
shitting me, right!? Please… tell me you’re just fuckin’ me along!?
T: Well… I’ve been
driven at least half-mad, and probably have the situation completely wrong. Like,
he’s getting into my fucking head, y’know? Just forget about it, huh, and don’t
waste energy on speculation, because there’s nothing we can do, anyway.
F: FUCK, Tom! FUCK,
FUCK, FUCK!
**
Though I speak of them to their faces as just the latest
batch, with boys preceding them and more to follow-on, in truth this process is
a one-off. It’s a process of exploration, informed by customer feedback to my
big question of six months ago: What form of sadistic torment should I
develop, for film?
My clients have different fetishes, but their commonality is
eroticism in watching boys pushed as hard as they can be, then harder again and
again, until failure. Since the early days this has been an experiment in
endurance, with Tom and Fin, but Tom is right in his supposition that the heat
is about to be turned up.
I have a vision for their month-end which, unlike their
rookie training to date, isn’t defined by specific inputs.
The vision of them I’ll craft, is a duo of boys marked not
by athletic muscle but by haunting rib cages pushing at paper-thin, see-through
skin. Eyes bulging prominent from sunken sockets, in faces narrowed and
harrowingly gaunt. Limbs – all four of them – thin as sticks, where they’re terrified
of my anger because one moderate shove from behind would have them tumbling
into a sprawl of broken bones, from which they’d never recover.
The vision is one of filth drones, able to attach themselves
by lips to twitching assholes in their sleep, practically: And, given the
rigours of 24/7, that’s a state they’ll need to achieve damn quickly.
The vision is of pathetic, snivelling, crawling gratitude at
the announcement of an afternoon off, for one of them.
The vision is five men in residence, greeted without a
single tut, groan or curse but with proactive volunteering; enthusiasm feigned
in weeks 1-3 of the new start, but somehow authentic by week 4. (It’s that
drone thing).
The vision is a cumulative ocean of vomit and the live
threat of a recycling mandate, ready to launch.
The vision is their readiness – and we’ll do this at the
back end of week one, when they’ve settled – to be sat down during a day of
4-man service and reminded of an extension I touched upon during their
briefing. It will be an addition, not a substitute activity. Because they’re
well-trained, obedient boys, the introduction will be deep end, so we’ll discuss
frames of mind, but it’s going to be fine!
The vision is two pigs, in a month, weaned to the extent
they neither ask for, nor expect, traditional food from one day to the next. By
then, they’ll have a varied diet anyway.
But this is the future, and it will be a long month for Tom
and Fin. If six weeks of boot camp felt like six months, this coming month will
compress a year’s worth of character transformation.
It’s going to start tonight as a foretaste of what’s to come,
with a hectic overnight – the truly filthy small hours – that shreds their
nascent planning around teamwork and shift work. An overnight designed to have
them at each other’s throats by 07.30, turning their fury inwards, opening the
schism I will exploit within a few further hours by withdrawal of their
solitary privilege, and then – a few days later – with my solemn advice of
their additional duties.
The vision, is brokenness.
