Fifty Shades of Grey: Even the Bad leads to Good

Categories: Uncategorized

I’m going to toss my hat into this whole entire Fifty Shades of Grey (by E.L. James) circus event and write a little something and hope not to ramble too much with it.  In my line of work (adult boutique/sex shop) it has definitely not only boosted the number of customers coming into the store, but it is has had them looking in sections that they previously may have avoided.  So I have heard plenty of feedback about the book, both good and bad.

The book is a piece of fiction, so to be honest I don’t know where to land on the unsafe/not-smart sexual adventures of Anastasia/Christian.  Part of me wants to reprimand the author for including blatant not sexually smart/safe passages.  Even more so considering the sexual subject matter is not one that is openly discussed so safety may not be the first thing on someone’s mind when someone safely did it in a book.  The book is essentially someone’s written fantasy and fantasies don’t have to abide by the same safety principles as real life.  I just wish that more care was taken and included proper usage of items or else a warning saying that some acts were more fantasy based.

The real sticking point with me is just how poorly written the book is.  I know that reading books unfortunately is not one of the most popular pastimes anymore.  Publishing a redundant, heavy prose sophomoric book is not only accepted but hailed as a piece of literature. That breaks my heart as a bibliophile so pushing that off on the book isn’t so much a dig at the book but a dig at the society that made it.

Sure, I could stick to those points and tout on about how much that Fifty Shades of Grey is a subpar book that pales to the many other erotic books out there but I’m not.  Because no matter what, I firmly believe that bringing erotica and new ideas about sex/sexuality to the mainstream is good.  The book sparked a sexual passion that I know expanded many people’s ideas of what could be done in (and out) of the bedroom.

Masturbation.

Categories: Uncategorized

May is coming up and it is national masturbation month.  Two years ago I did a whole project where I blogged every day about what I masturbated to and with.  It was interesting to see my tastes when actually documented.  I contemplated doing that again, but my tastes have gotten more deviant and quite frankly I just don’t want to tackle such a big project right now.  But I did want to talk a little bit about masturbation and what it means to me.  So I broke it up into three parts all about masturbation.

I started masturbating at a fairly common exploratory age.  I had been fascinated with my body and bodies in general, for a couple years prior to what I consider ‘the age I started masturbating’.  Which just means that I had already familiarized myself with my body, I just hadn’t figured what were the right buttons to push.  Once I did, I never looked back.  I can honestly say that no matter what is going on in my life, I have always been an avid masturbator.  Whether or not I am in a relationship or not, or whether I have been up for 37 hours straight, I always find time for masturbating.  I think it is a way to keep healthy sexually and to relieve stress.

I say this and there are some common responses.

Usually from ignorant males- “If I was there you wouldn’t need to masturbate”. I don’t know how many different ways I can say “Fuck off”. I don’t *need* to masturbate now, I *WANT* to masturbate now. It doesn’t matter if I have had sex zero or six times that day, I masturbate at least once.  My drive for intercourse is shared but not exclusive to my drive for orgasms.

Another response- “Oh, I’m the same way”.  We should start a club.  No really, we should.

To Be Continued…

Review: What a Pretty Noise

Categories: Review

I find it very easy these days to not crave or even think about kink.  However, when the moments arise when I find myself getting more into the kink mindframe it is always good to have a solid collection of toys to play with.  The Heart Double Slapper is a piece from MyPleasure originally found in their bondage and fantasy section.

Slappers are impact devices that have a handle are usually rectangular in shape.  The Heart Double Slapper is made of a leather that I have a hard time believing is real leather.  It is not layered leather either, it is cork with leather stitched on top of it.  Then there are metal rivets holding the bottom together.  Overall for actual quality, I would recommend this for people just looking into expanding their collection.  It is a decent piece but nothing that is going to last you years.  For care and cleaning I’d say just use a damp washcloth if you need it.  It does have a cheap wrist strap attached to the bottom where you can hang to store it if you please.  To be honest the wrist strap is cheap looking and feeling.  It brings down the quality of the toy in appearance.  Plus the wrist strap is uncomfortable since the material it is made out of is almost plastic-y feeling.

The Heart Double Slapper packs a stingy punch.  I found this to be slightly above hand spanking in terms of pain level when done at full force.  A stingier type of pain though, which may make more of a difference in terms of pain tolerance.  It is very easy to hold and wield, but as I always caution please make sure you know what you are doing before you hit someone.  You CAN do damage if you hit someone in the wrong spot.  I’d say ideally this slapper can be used on the ass and the fleshy part of the back of the thighs, ouch! ;) Most of all I like the noise this makes, a clean quick SNAP!

MyPleasure is no longer carrying this slapper, but they do have a collection of bondage and fantasy items to add to your collection.  If that isn’t your forte then you can always look at their sex toys!

Keyhole, oh Keyhole. I Wished upon you Once.

Categories: Review

The Double Keyhole Dress.  This dress was in my dreams.  Where do I start… When first asking MyPleasure if I could review the Double Keyhole Dress, there was one intention in my mind for it.  I was in talks with a crossdresser and hooked up with him once.  The first time we hooked up was not a crossdressing opportunity, but I was promised a return where he would indeed quiver at my feet while dressed as a girl.  This dress was perfect for it. I could imagine the top part being loose and humiliating him for not being a man but not even being womanly enough to fill out the nice dress I got him.  Then of course would come the part where I would push up the tight wetlook dress and assault his tight little rear-end.  Assault, take that however you may.  Of course it would all be consensual and all in the name of good fun sexy kink.  Those were my dreams for the Double Keyhole Dress.

Perhaps you could tell from the tone that my dreams did not come to fruition.  The dress sat for a while being unused.  I didn’t want to wear it since I didn’t buy it for me.  I bought it for a partner.  So I waited for another partner, male or female, who could wear the dress.  Luckily one of my very best friends came along just in time.  Here are some pictures of the dress…

1- The Front of the Dress

2- The Side View

3- Back View of Dress

In pictures 2 & 3 you can see that this isn’t exactly skin tight on her, right below the clasp it bubbles slightly.  Other than that it fits very very well.  The shine to it isn’t as high as I expected, but it still does have a sexy sleek look to it.  Plus it is very comfortable to wear.  It is easy to move around in, there isn’t too many restrictions or pieces to make it uncomfortable or hard to put on. Hand wash, the material is too delicate to machine wash.

Her measurements are-

5′ 7″. If you are shorter then this will be a little longer on you.  If you are taller then this will be coochy-viewing short.  Boobs are 34DD, the cup size really shouldn’t matter in this though because there are no defined cups.  However this also means that there is no support.  She is a size 8-10 depending on the brand, but this has a lot of stretch to the material (composition 63% Polyester, 32% Rayon, 5% Spandex) so I would say all the way up to a 16 would probably fit, but a 12/14 would probably be the best it would look on someone.  She could have went down a size and been fine with it.

MyPleasure.com sells the Double Keyhole Dress in sizes s/m or l/xl.  I’d recommend snatching one of these up, they are comfortable and very sexy sleek.  If this isn’t your style, they carry plenty of other lingerie and sex toys to make your time memorable.

Massage Me Up

Categories: Review

Foreplay is important.  This is an inarguable fact.  Massages were something I had never really regarded as foreplay before my current partner, but now that they are a more common occurrence I wanted something to make them nicer.  Babeland is an online sex toy retailer that branded their own massage candles.  I got three of their 1 oz Babeland body massage candles- Pashmina, Rice Flower, and Mango Vanilla.  These are the size of normal tealight candles but they are encased in aluminum containers with caps so they won’t fit in tealight holders.  These aren’t really intended for decoration though, so that’s not a downside.

Rice Flower- this is the first one I started with since it was the lightest scent.  These were getting used on my male partner and the other two had an overt floral scent that wasn’t very ‘manly’.  I lit this in our dining room/living room area which doesn’t have walls so the scent as a candle wasn’t overpowering but it did spread nicely.  I actually stopped paying attention to the candle for about thirty minutes until we moved into the bedroom.  In thirty minutes the entire candle was already melted.  And the container was hot… Ouch.  When you have hot flames, encasing it in aluminum isn’t the smartest idea.  This made pouring the candle a pain for me.  It wasn’t anything that actually burned me, but it was hot enough that I couldn’t pour it without wrapping a napkin around the container so my fingers weren’t in direct contact with the aluminum.  Then came the pouring issue.  This is a perfectly round container, there is no pour spout or anything that aids in the oil coming out nicely.  When you are done pouring the oil/wax dries quickly on the outside of the container.  Just an annoyance more than anything else.  It also made controlling where to pour the oil more difficult.  After the first pour, the wick started moving whenever I moved the candle.  Definitely not a good thing.  This meant  towards the end of pouring had to be very careful so the wick didn’t fall out when I was pouring the last of the oil out.

So for all those complaints, the actual oil was nice.  The only ingredients (in all the candles) are: Soy Wax, Shea Butter, and fragrances.  Soy Wax burns at a lower temperature so it makes it safe to pour onto the skin without burning.  Shea Butter is what makes the skin feel so soft after you have massaged the oil into the skin.  The ‘fragrances’ is all I would worry about if you have sensitive skin that breaks out with perfumes or oils.

Mango Vanilla- This has to be my least favorite scent.  It does not smell like Mango or Vanilla, both of which I regard as softer scents.  This smells like a flower shop filled with old ladies.  It is really strong and not very pleasant for me.  In fact, I only used about a ¼ of the wax just because I really really didn’t like the scent.  That is an upside of getting the smaller containers though, because from the names of the candles I would figure this would be the one I’d like the most.

Pashmina- This candle is very earthy.  Vanilla with overtones of pine.  When put in a room with walls this scented the entire room well, this is the only candle I used in a room with walls though I’m sure all are the same.  If you don’t like the scent then you won’t want to use these in small rooms.

The higher that you drip the candle from, the lower temperature the wax will be when it hits the skin.  Each candle has enough wax for one full body use.  The oil rubs completely into the skin leaving it moisturized and scented for a few hours afterward.  If you are looking to massage a male, like I was, then the leftover scent does have an impact on when you do this.  Usually we saved these for before bed or before showers.

Babeland made an effort to design some massage candles, and it sorta worked.  I think the 3 oz containers would solve the issues that I had with these.  The actual candles were nice and the scents were decent but the 1 oz containers just weren’t that nice.  So go get the 3 oz versions of Babeland’s massage candles.

On Doesn’t Turn me On.

Categories: Review

Sex toys are fun, sex is fun. Sometimes you need something fun to add into the mix though.  Babeland is carrying On Arousal Gel a new product on the market that is advertised to stimulate the clitoris and heighten climax.  Sensuva (the manufacturer) is a newer company that seems to have the right motives at heart.  Like many people, I am conscious about what I put on my body even more so about what I put in it.  Sensuva makes on from all natural ingredients- Essential Oil Blend including: Sweet Almond Oil, Cinnamomum Cassia, Natural Tocopherols (vitamin e); silica, Rosemary Oil Extract, Natural Flavoring.  When you have the product in front of you, it smells very natural too.  It smells like cinnamon and clove, but it is not overpowering at all.  The information provided says that the gel can be used with oral, but honestly I wouldn’t recommend it.  The stuff tastes awful.  Like clove wheatgrass. I think the more appropriate statement would be that it is safe to be ingested.

So, this is where my review gets hard and muddled.  This product works.  It has a strange warming sensation that they bill as a ‘buzz’.  The other simulating gels/oils I have tried have been cooling, so to even use warming as a stimulant is a bit foreign to me.  I was willing to try something new, and it worked out for the end result.  The orgasms experienced were definitely a heightened intensity coupled with more sensitivity after climax with a greater likelihood of multiple orgasms.

All that sounds fantastic right? Right.  So the hard part is that despite its redeeming qualities it is very specific about where it can be applied.  So much so that if it drips to any place other than the clitoris it is uncomfortable and almost burns.  This may not be as huge of a problem if it was a thicker formula but this is a runny liquid.  This means that you have to be extremely careful when applying because the sensation you get when it drips is a turn off.  Even when you are careful and think you have a system down, there is always room for error.

So, heightened climax versus feeling like your most sensitive skin is being burned.  I am some sort of weird person who keeps trying to use it despite knowing how it feels when even the tiniest bit drips.  It isn’t something I really recommend fully.  Especially because on top of all that it is oil based so if any gets inside the vaginal canal there is a high chance you’ll get irritated.  Plus the packaging is very adamant on stating not to get this in the urethra.  So I can put this on my clitoris, but not on anything within an inch of it for fear of burning, irritation, or infection?! I’ll pass.  Or at least I recommend others do.

Babeland is a great retailer of adult products.  They sent me this in return for an unbiased review.  While I wouldn’t recommend the On Arousal Oil, there are other stimulants (usually in the same categories as lubes) that I have tried and liked, so this isn’t a jab at all products like this.  (Shunga has some arousal gels that I like, like this one) Babeland also has a great selection of sex toys to pair with stimulants as well.

New Year’s Resolutions

Categories: Uncategorized

When most people hear the term New Year’s resolution, they think of broken promises and fluffy dreams of betterment. New Year’s resolutions mean something else for me. My resolutions are more like bucket lists for a year. In 2010 my resolution was to squirt. By the end of that year I successfully squirted. In fact I can’t stop squirting! In 2011 I slacked a bit. I was at the end of a breakup and wasn’t thinking about making a bucket list item come true that year. I was more about just working on making me happy. 

So, what is this Year’s resolution? Well, I’m half undecided. I know it has something to do with the number of times I have sex this year. I just don’t know exactly what to count. Do I want to count the times I have sex with my boyfriend? Or do I want to count the number I have sex total? With both genders or just easy-to-define vaginal sex with males? So far I haven’t had to put that much thought into what I’m counting as the month of January was quite uniform. I solely stuck with sex from the boyfriend. So my number is unmuddled for now but won’t stay that way for long. 

I was tweeting the numbers, but decided to keep track a different way so the weird number tweets will no longer be popping up. Yay? 

So my goal number, no matter which I end up counting, is 365. So one for every day on average. Which I think is a perfectly obtainable goal. Logically the only years it would have been remotely possible is 2010 or 2011. I don’t think I got that high though. So 2012 is the year of the daily lay. It won’t be the last time you hear of it here, keep your eyes open.

Erotica: Balcony Views

Categories: Kink

There were pleasantries exchanged and a few somewhat awkward silences before he led me out onto his balcony.  Two chairs were facing each other on opposite ends, what felt like a football field of space was in between us as we sat down.  The silence was awkward, but brief.  He beckoned for me to get on my knees in front of him.  The cement was cold beneath me but once I got my mouth around him I didn’t notice.  My lips a tight wet ring at the base of his shaft, my tongue working its way around.  He pushed his hips up into me, my throat pulsing around his head. My eyes watering and my sight slightly blackening around the edges he let me up for air.  I gasped for the freshness, it feeling foreign in my lungs.

He stood up from his chair, barking an order to have me lean over the balcony.  I was slow to get to my feet. His hand quickly weaved through my delicately done hair and pulled me up.  His deep growling voice warning me to be quick the next time he told me to do something.  With my hands steadying myself on the less than stable balcony rail, he pushed my skirt up my ass.  His hands grabbing at my round flesh.  I was tender but he wasn’t.  His grip was just rough enough to let me know he was in control. He spread my cheeks apart, inspecting the prize that was his. Without hesitation he spit on my rosebud and pushed his thumb in.  The invader was not welcome for the unready hole.  His other hand went around me to tease my clit, lessening the slight pain I was experiencing.

“What a little whore,” he whispered as I started to push back onto his hand, shivering from the cold air and pleasure.  His teeth sunk into my soft skin and I yelped.  His thumb disappeared from my ass and a flat hand landed on my ass, “quiet, I have neighbors”.  I thought the spank he just landed was louder than my scream, but I wasn’t about to argue.  He undid his pants and with a sense of urgency plowed into me.  His thrusts were short and strong, constantly hitting my cervix. My moans were getting too loud because he pulled me back by my hair and covered my mouth with his hand.  His other hand went around my delicate neck, slowly and softly depriving me of my air.  He would subtly squeeze then let go, not letting me get too comfortable ever.  The control he had over me was enough of a turn on, I was leaking girl cum all down his shaft and my thighs within minutes. My orgasm couldn’t be contained.  It wasn’t too long that the situation took over him as well. He pulled me all the way down on him as his cum shot deep in me.  It filled me up until it oozed around him and seeped out. He withdrew his cock and replaced it with his fingers, scrapped as much cum as he could out of me and shoved his sticky fingers in my mouth.  I sucked them clean repeatedly until there was nothing left in me.

On Squirting

Categories: Kink

Squirting fascinates me.  I remember reading about it before I saw it, which is shocking considering how much porn I watch.  I think I read about it on a blog somewhere and was intrigued.  I went further to investigate what exactly it was and was turned on immensely.  In fact, it is one of the few porn categories I can turn to when I know I need to get off quick.  But that’s jumping ahead of myself.

 

I decided in January of 2010 that I would squirt that year.  It was my New Years Resolution.  One that I was happy to keep.  I remember using my Lelo Gigi and other various toys I already owned to no results.  Well, orgasmic results but not squirting results.  I turned to books such as Sundahl’s Guide to Female Ejaculation and was disappointed with their dry words. (pun very much intended) It wasn’t until I decided to buy the Pure Wand that I knew I was taking a step in the right direction.  I used the Pure Wand a few times before I achieved the results that I wanted.  But by the end of 2010 I was able to squirt.

 

Since then I have managed to hone the skill and do it more frequently.  I still am stuck with mainly doing it while masturbating.  With only one (maybe two) partners have I achieved any squirting (or gushing).  I absolutely adore doing it while masturbating though.  I find it extremely erotic to feel the liquid rush out of me.  I find that mine mostly comes out towards the latter half of my multiple orgasm.  I also noticed that using the wahl on my clit is a 50/50 shot of it happening too.  I guess in short I’m saying that I effin love squirting and there is a bunch of different ways to get there.
