What’s Your Pleasure?

Posted on April 2, 2010 | Comments Off on What’s Your Pleasure?

Does the blade of a knife cutting through your butter soft skin turn you on? Do you grow hard watching a woman smoke cigarettes? Do you get excited by wearing women’s lingerie? Or does Santa Claus make you “Ho, Ho, Ho?” If fetishes and well-written erotica appeal to you, this book will too.

Best Fetish Erotica, edited by Cara Bruce and printed by Cleis Press, is a collection of short stories first published in 2000 and 2002 that explore the realm of fetish sex. The stories pack a punch, and run the gamut from the mild to the extreme. Easy to pick up, hard to put down, this collection is sure to expose you to fetishes you dream about as well as ones you can’t forget once you read them.

The book is 183 pages, and contains 21 stories, each by a different author. This is a softcover edition and oversized (9” x 6”), with a slick cover featuring the back of a corseted woman. The typeset is clear and readable, with no pictures or drawings inside. The back pages of the book give some information about the authors contained within.

The editor, Cara Bruce, has had her stories appear in other collections and is also the editor of VenusOrVixen.com. The writers all come from diverse backgrounds with various publishing credits to their names.

Each story in this collection features a different fetish, and each author stimulates, educates, and arouses the reader. The fetishes included contain some common ones: a piece of lingerie, masochism/torture, smoking, interracial sex, knife play, wearing women’s clothes, mothers, voyeurism, teacher/student, and spankings. They also include some less common fetishes: smiles, robot sex, whore genes, cars, dolls, vegetarians, colors, and even Santa.  Yes, Santa.

I found all of the stories in this collection to be well-written and engaging. Some of the stories are very short (the shortest is 3 pages), while others run to about 20 pages, but all are short enough to sit down and read in 5 to 10 minutes. I haven’t read a lot of this type of erotica, so all of the stories were fresh for me, even though they date back several years. Some of the stories employ humor, while others are quite serious in tone.

There are stories here that will not appeal to everyone, due to their subject matter, but that’s what I would expect in this type of anthology. If you’re reading this one, you’re more than likely interested in fetishes, and probably have one or two of your own.

My favorite stories in this collection were “Machine” by Raven Caldera, about a woman who dresses up as a pleasure object and is guided by another; “Horsepower” by Tom Piccirilli, dealing with hot sex and hot cars; and “Man and Woman: A Study In Black and White” by Rachel Resnick, about a white woman and a black man each with a fetish for the other.

I would recommend this book if you enjoy thought provoking, sometimes edgy stories about what turns some people on. This book is a great way to explore how others get off.

This book is one of two featured by the Sexis Naked Reader Book Club this month.  If you’re interested in reading Best Fetish Erotica, you can pick up your copy from EdenFantasys.

Another Wireless Bullet Review? Yes, Indeed!

Posted on March 29, 2010 | 2 comments

Yes, it’s true – I have tried out 2 different wireless bullets this month.  This one is the Harmony Wireless Wonder from Doc Johnson.

No watch batteries here – just 3 N batteries and 1 12v battery.

This is a good-sized bullet!

The batteries are easy to insert in both the bullet …

…and the remote.

You can have a lot of fun in public with this one!

I have a video I made of the Harmony Wireless Wonder as well as my review, which you can watch and read over on EdenFantasys.  Thank you to EdenFantasys for sending this to me for free to review!

Fun In Public? Oh, Yes!

Posted on March 27, 2010 | Comments Off on Fun In Public? Oh, Yes!

Wireless toys have been my thing lately. There’s something about getting off in public that’s quite a turn-on. This is apparently my month for reviewing them, and I was pretty excited to receive the 7 Function Remote Bullet from Cal Exotics for my Sexpert review.

This bullet vibrator comes in an easy to open box, with an actual size picture of the product on the front, as well as a nice looking couple. The back of the box points out some of the features of both the bullet and remote, as well as other product information. Inside of the box is the bullet, remote control, 1 12v battery, 8 watch batteries (4 are needed at a time), and a small instruction sheet that gives the battery orientation.

Both the remote and bullet are a pretty vibrant purple, and both are made of plastic with a velvet cote covering, so they’re soft to the touch and have no smell or taste. Both pieces are non-porous and phthalates free.

The bullet is 3” long, with a 1 1/4″ diameter. It’s meant to be inserted vaginally (never insert this anally!), and it has a 3 3/4″ retrieval cord that feels plastic coated attached at the bottom for easy removal. It has a noticeable seam running around the middle where the two pieces screw together, but it can’t be felt during use. It also has a Cal Ex sticker, which leaves some residue when removed, although it’s simple enough to get off.

The halves are easy to unscrew, and the battery compartment holds 4 watch batteries, which must be inserted + side down (the flat side of the batteries). The batteries do come held in plastic in 2 groups of four – make sure you remove the plastic or you’ll have a hard time removing them from the bullet! They can be a bit tricky to insert as well. A rubber O-ring sits at the bottom of the thread, making this bullet waterproof.

The remote is small and flat. It’s 2 1/2″ long, 1 1/2″ wide, and about 3/8” thick. It has a hole at the top where it can be attached to a keychain if desired. It also has a telescopic antenna which extends to 2 3/4″.

The remote holds 1 12v battery, which is inserted by sliding the battery compartment off. The battery is held securely, and the battery door, once replaced, won’t come off unexpectedly.

The front of the remote has four buttons: a dedicated on/off button, 7 function F button, and 2 buttons to control the speed, labeled + and -. A small LED light is next to the speed buttons, and flashes red when any of the buttons is pressed. It doesn’t stay lit, so you can’t use it to tell if the bullet is on or off, or what mode it is in. You’ll have to rely on your partner to tell you. While the bullet is waterproof, the remote is not . Make sure not to submerge this in water!

The bullet has 7 speeds and 7 functions. When turned on, the bullet starts in a low steady vibration. Pressing + increases the power to maximum (about 5 presses). Pressing the F button at this point does the following:
– increase in power about 5 seconds, back to slightly lower for 5 seconds, repeats
– “shaker” pattern from high to low
– medium pulses
– fast pulses
– medium pulses that gradually get longer and less intense, then a few revs before repeating
– 2 short and 1 long pulse
– low and steady vibration

The bullet is pretty quiet when inserted, and won’t be heard if there’s any kind of background noise. This is great to use at a bar or noisy restaurant, if you can handle the vibrations. The high speeds can get a bit intense if the bullet runs for a while.

The bullet should be washed before and after each use with an antibacterial soap and water, or your favorite toy cleaner. The remote should be wiped off, if necessary, with a damp cloth. Both pieces should be dried off with a soft towel. Water-based and silicone lubricants are safe to use with the bullet.

So, Does It Work? For the most part, yes. It’s definitely quiet enough to wear in public, and we were able to control the bullet from about 20 – 25 feet away. It certainly made grocery shopping more entertaining! I found the 2 short and 1 long pulse to be my favorite setting – it certainly didn’t let me forget I had it in!

We did have some trouble with the bullet stopping when cycling through the patterns. This occurred more on the lower speeds, although it would happen on the higher speeds as well, when he was consciously pushing the buttons.  The LED doesn’t stay lit, so your partner will have to ask you if it’s on and what pattern it’s on.

My husband kept this in his pocket, and didn’t have any problems with hitting the buttons by mistake when he had loose pockets, but it did change pattern or shut off when he was wearing tight jeans. He has the same problem with his cell phone in tight pockets as well, so for us looser pockets are a better choice. He would have liked to put this on a keychain, but he balked at the purple color. It attached fine to my keychain, and with all the other things on there I didn’t find it to stand out or be too noticeable.

My biggest issue with this bullet is the way it drains batteries. I was happy that 8 were included, because after only using the bullet for about 30 minutes (during which it performed admirably), coming home, and removing the batteries for storage, the batteries were dead when I went to use them again. The same happened with the other 4 batteries. I’m not sure if it had to due with the batteries not being the freshest, or if the bullet just eats them.

Overall, we had a lot of fun with this one. Thank you to Cal Exotics for sending me this for free to review!

Restraint: It’s What I Crave

Posted on March 10, 2010 | 2 comments

Most of my bondage wear is black or red. Those seem to be very popular colors when shopping for BDSM gear, and for good reason. But occasionally I like something a little different. I had purchased the Spartacus Crave collar with nipple clamps from EdenFantasys awhile ago, which came in a surprisingly delightful purple color, so I had to get the Crave Wrist Restraints from EdenFantasys as well to go with it.

The Crave wrist cuffs come in an easy to open clamshell case. The front insert has a picture of a woman wearing the cuffs, while the back has some product information. The cuffs are visible through the front.

These cuffs are absolutely lovely! The leather is a gorgeous shade of purple, and matches the leather of the collar. It is fine-grained, and smooth to the touch.

 The back of the cuffs is covered with black faux fur, which is soft and pleasant to the touch. All the hardware is black, which really gives the cuffs an elegant look.

Each cuff is 9” long and 2” wide. Black stitching runs all around to secure the fur lining to the leather, and all the stitching seems secure.

The buckling piece is a 12 1/4″ long and 1″ wide strip of leather. This piece weaves twice under the wider leather of the cuff and is secured in place with black studs. Eight buckling holes are spaced about 3/8” apart, allowing these cuffs to be adjusted from 4” to 7 1/2″. When buckled on the first hole, the edges of the cuff just barely touch. When on the last whole, the band overlaps considerably.

Between the first weave towards the buckle end is a 1” black D-ring, which is large enough to slip a finger through. You can also attach both rings to a leash or other restraining device if desired.

These cuffs are easy to clean. The leather can be wiped with a mild soap and a wet cloth, or leather cleaner can be used. If necessary, the fur can be wiped or patted with a soapy wet cloth. They can be stored flat, or gently rolled.

I didn’t buy these with any real purpose in mind, except that they would match my purple collar. However, Valentine’s day was coming up, and when I offered my husband a color choice for our “date night”, he popped up with purple.

Paired with the matching collar, these looked wonderful! I also had a new black and purple pirate wench costume, and together it looked pretty fetching. My husband really enjoyed the look as well. I found the cuffs to be comfortable – this is one of the few pairs I have that have a soft lining and they didn’t dig in to my wrists or trap lots of sweat underneath. They stayed buckled and in place, and worked well whether they were linked together or just on my wrists.

These are truly lovely, well-made set, and a wonderful addition to our collection.  I bought mine at EdenFantasys, and you can too by clicking here.

Oh, Randy, You’re So Fine. You’re So Fine You Blow My Mind!

Posted on March 7, 2010 | 2 comments

Questing about for something fun, I kept coming back to look at the Randy dildo. I love Vixen Creations, and Randy did look enjoyable. He was only slightly larger than my big toys, although he looked rather short. He was available in both silicone and Vixskin versions, and what primarily sold me on the silicone was the color. We all know how I feel about realistic colored toys by now, right? I also figured the silicone wouldn’t be as floppy as the Vixskin and, once my husband agreed, I bought Randy from EdenFantasys.

Randy arrived in a see-through tube with red cap ends and the vixen logo and product information on the front. He looked a little smooshed in the tube, mainly because of his base.

Once I got Randy out (and this was a little tricky – the base is just that much too big) I could really appreciate him. His color is fantastic – a deep purple with swirls of blue and turquoise all through. These swirls pick up the light and give him a shimmery look. Simply gorgeous!

Randy’s smooth to the touch, with just a little bit of drag to his surface. He’s somewhat realistic in appearance with his bulging head and shaft design. Randy is squishy, but not too soft, and he’s flexible enough to be straightened out, although he won’t stay this way.

Randy looks short, mostly because he’s so girthy. He’s 6 1/2” long from his tip to the bottom of his base, with 5 1/2″ insertable. He is close to 7 1/4” in circumference around his head (about a 2 1/4″ diameter) before he tapers down after a nice bulge right below his head to about 6 3/4″ around (a 2 1/8” diameter), so he’s super thick and filling. I have a lot of toys with 2” diameter so I didn’t his extra 1/8” to 1/4″ would make much of a difference, but it really does. Randy is slightly curved, and I found this made him hit my g-spot.

Randy has a flared base and is harness compatible if you have a large enough O-ring to fit him. He’s also safe to use for anal if you are looking for something large. The base is 3 1/2″ in diameter, and about 1/4″ thick. It has a slight upwards indentation in the middle, which allows the base to be used as a suction cup. It creates sufficient suction to stick to the shower wall or tile if you want to have some hands free fun. The base is also wide enough that Randy will stand up on a flat surface without tipping over.

Randy needs plenty of lubricant to be comfortably used. Since he’s made of silicone, only water-based lubricants should be used, and used plentifully. The lubricant will help him slide in and be thrust comfortably.

Randy is made from silicone, so he’s non-porous, phthalates-free, latex free, and hypoallergenic. He can be washed with antibacterial soap and warm water, or cleaned with your favorite toy cleaner. You can also wipe him down with a 10% bleach solution. Randy can be disinfected in the top rack of a dishwasher or boiled on the stove for a few minutes. He should be stored in a cool, dark place, and not touching other toys. He can be stored in his tube, but since it doesn’t fit the base well, I prefer to just stand him on the shelf.

I had Randy slathered with lube before I tried him the first time. The bulge on the bottom of his head caught a bit when I first inserted him, but I found once I got used to his size it didn’t seem to hit anymore. It also didn’t bother me if I warmed up a bit with another toy like Maverick that was just a bit smaller. I did find him a bit short to easily grip to thrust. He brought me to a g-spot orgasm all by himself, and he also worked well when used with a clitoral bullet and a plug.

My husband liked the wide base a lot, and found it easy to hold onto and thrust Randy with. He didn’t have any problem with the length.

I found Randy a bit harder to use in the shower. The suction cup held on to the wall with no problem, but I preferred the control my husband had over the thrusting.

I would definitely recommend Randy if you want a toy with some size. He’s lovely, filling, and I think he’ll become one of my favorites.
