You're a diver. It's not just what you do, what you've trained to be - it's who and what you are, heart, mind, and soul.

So having to wait to dive is almost painful.

Looks like a little LED light he has strapped on, just over the filter. That's a pretty smart idea, a nice "hack" for guys living the gas mask life, especially if your helmet doesn't have a rail or other mounting option for a light.

"... college and pro teams do it all the time. Their gear gets worn, tossed in a communal wash, and reissued without a second thought."

Exactly - been there, done that plenty. Sure, you're not wearing "your" strap, but once it's washed, does it really matter?

Now, where team, or "community" or "gym", jockstraps really get interesting is when the washing is, shall we say, less routine, where guys grab a strap off the peg, wear it for their workout or practice, and then just hang the strap back up. I don't know of any team or gym that does so for its overall operation - it's always just a small group of men who don't mind sharing jockstraps.

This picture is a classic. I remember seeing this guy's pictures on another site, not sure it even exists anymore, back before we called it "social media". Maybe even exchanged messages with him a time or two - can't remember for sure, because oh yeah it's been a while. But the visuals? Oh yeah, won't forget those. It may have been the pics of him huffing the aroma of his own boots that really tipped me over into that "interest".

I believe this is a picture from Trikoot. He has a "standalone" site at https://trikoot.net/ and his Tumblr is https://www.tumblr.com/trikoot?source=share

The breath control & poppers system is his own design and construction. Although it doesn't look like they're in use in this picture, a subject in this chair may also experience electrical stimulation and/or a vacuum-powered masturbator.

Not as good as a diver down flag, but better than a Jolly Roger.

Obviously this is just a small part of what's involved with dressing out - aka suiting up - a diver in standard dress gear, and maybe this is a demonstration of "most of" the process without intent to dive, but I'm thinking something's amiss. All the times I've been involved with this operation - tender, diver, sup - we've always had the gas supply - hose from airbox to air control valve to whip to helmet - installed and flow-tested, so that as soon as the hat is down we can get air to the diver. Even in the shade on a cool day, even with the front port open, once the bonnet is on the breastplate a guy can really start to want a flow of air through the hat.

If the air supply had indeed been connected as I described above, we'd see a thick black hose, about three feet long, from the back of the helmet - most likely above the diver's right shoulder - to the ACV, which can be seen at https://www.divedesco.com/P/112/USNavyMarkVAirControlValve and which would be positioned at the diver's left side and be attached to the long breastplate stud which in this gif has no nut installed.

"Nah nah nahnah nah! You can't get us wet! We're already wet on the outside, and we're nice and dry because we're in our -

OH SHIT, where's that leak?!?!"

Looks a lot like dive school, NYD specifically.

Been there, done that, found out it's not worth the effort.

The freeflow hat and no inflator on the suit suggest this is a dirty-water dive, and based on the little bit of "scenery" we can see I'm thinking wastewater treatment facilities work.

Welding or burning (cutting), most likely. Not sure the shield has a hinge, and the way it covers even the nose block knob almost suggests it's in a more or less permanent "deployed" position.

That's an evocative bit of writing.

My thoughts: There is indeed a kind of silence that comes from donning a mask, especially a full-face gas mask. Even in modern masks that are designed with good verbal communication in mind, it's nowhere near as easy to talk in a mask as it is without - and so there's a tendency to speak only when it's absolutely necessary. I'll note, though, that the silence is somewhat offset by the sounds of breathing, inhaled air going through an intake valve (you don't usually hear much in the way of the air going into or through the filter), then the exhaled air going through the exhale valve. Both intake and exhale valves often have a "click" when opening and/or closing, and of course the exhaled air going through the exhaust port almost always comes with an audible whoosh.

"... when you're sealed inside ..." Oh yeah, great phrase. Sealed in. I'm going to spill the beans a little early in the post here, answering the question from the end, and for those who haven't read some of the other posts I've made, I'll note that I really like being in a gas mask.

I'm not certain that I understand the appeal of being a drone. I know I do not want, and cannot imagine wanting, to have my personality and memories and whatnot erased and replaced with a hive mind. I also don't think I'd want to be permanently in gear, even or including a gas mask. I enjoy the transformation, of going from "just a man" to "Something More, Something Better". In my case that More and Better is often a Diver. But as much as I love diving, working underwater, I don't want to be in dive gear 24/365. I like the transformation.

Having said that, I'll say again that I really enjoy being in a gas mask, and yes, to some extent becoming somewhat anonymous, becoming "just" a Gas Mask, hearing my breathing going through the mask, potentially having my breathing controlled should I be in a mask in certain "situations", is appealing. Is there some appeal in being forced into the gear, into wearing a gas mask long term? Yeah, there is. I don't know what conditions it would take for me to not want to be in a gas mask but instead genuinely be forced into one. If I'm working a scenario with another man, maybe a Top or Controller, and I have a feeling he wants to see his subject fighting the mask, I'm more than willing to work with that and provide the feedback He desires. If that extends to some consensual non-consensuality and I end up being masked for a lot longer than the original idea, that might work OK too.

So to the question: Obviously I very willingly wear a gas mask (other gear too, but for this writing, keeping it focused on the gas mask). I don't know what it would take for me to wear one willingly permanently. I may need to think about that.

“Behind the Mask”

There’s a certain silence that comes with rubber and filters. A kind of hush the world falls into when you’re sealed inside — behind the lenses, behind the voice-dampening membrane. You’re safe, maybe. But you’re also alone.

This isn’t just a gas mask. It’s a symbol of what we choose to protect ourselves from — and what that protection costs. Breath is rationed. Sound is stolen. Identity becomes anonymous. You’re not a name or a face anymore. Just breath in. Breath out. Repeat.

In the dark fiction I’m exploring, this kind of gear isn’t just for hazard zones — it’s for systems that want control. Where safety becomes submission, and where silence is enforced not for peace, but for power. These masks aren’t handed out. They’re strapped on.

And sometimes, they’re never removed.

We wear many kinds of masks in life. Some are for safety. Some are for hiding. And some, disturbingly, are put on for us.

What would it take for you to wear one willingly?

Absolutely yes, I like hair on men's backs. Love hairy guys in general, of course, but yeah hairy backs get me extra-interested.

20250504

Mmmhh 😋 Wet and hairy backed 🥵 Delicious 😋

Thoughts?

Underwater. All day. Drilling hole after hole after hole after....

Next day - more of the same.

And the day after that.

And there is no better job in the known universe.

This picture hits a few of my hot buttons - oxygen masks, gas masks (although it's much more "oxygen" mask than "gas" mask, it's a full-face mask intended for CBRN protection), and air hoses.
