Tantus Ripple (small) by Epiphora

“The sensation was what I predicted—it certainly felt like bulbs popping in and out—but it was super pleasurable, much more so than the sensation of leaving a butt plug in my ass. This, I thought, is what they mean when they say anal play feels amazing.”

For Your Nymphomation XL Adult Toybox by Ang

Silver Handcuff Nipple Rings by Betty Rocket

The title of this blog was originally inspired by these particular shoes, and the soft-core porn series that Jack and I used to watch together on Friday nights, titled ”The Red Shoe Diaries”.

These sexy little heels have seen a lot of action over the years.  I wore them to my first sex party at Goodhandy’s, where they were slung over the shoulders of a very orally talented man.  I wore them to a recent play party, and on any number of dates and other sexual escapades.  They remain my very favorite pair of hot-as-hell heels.  I hope they last to see me through another 3 years of debauchery and blogging!

Lack of bells and whistles aside (hey, plain can be good) this lubricant is non-staining, completely safe for condoms, and compatible with ALL kinds of sex toys.  I would use it for anal sex, masturbation, or as I just mentioned, use with sex toys.

What I wouldn’t use it for is fisting, because I’ve never found a water based lube that gave enough ’slide’ to last.  Silicone is always my top choice for such activities, but your mileage (and the size of your partners fists) may vary.

Like most basic lubes, it has that ‘lube smell’ and ‘lube taste’ which I find…unpalatable, but it really doesn’t seem to bother some people.  It also seemed to leave a bit of a residue.  You know what I mean, that tacky feel between your legs.  Nothing a little soap and warm water won’t cure of course.

When tested we found this lube to be fairly long-lasting.  Adding a little water/moisture revitalizes it’s lubricatativeness…lubricational…luberi…it makes it slidey again.

Plain may seem boring, but this particular product is functional, affordable, and basically gets the job done.  Suitable for sensitive skin and apparently, doctor recommended.

I will add that it’s actually nothing like ‘gel’ however.  It’s less viscous than KY jelly or similar products.  I personally prefer lubricant that is less jelly-like, since it just seems less like lubricant and more like…well, jello.  Thought that was worth pointing out at any rate.

This first photo may not seem unusual, except that we could find NO possible explanation for how that little ice stalagmite.  It was in the top tray of cubes, and there was nothing dripping from above it, and even if there was, it’s completely the wrong angle.  We couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Even better than the mystery ice cube, was this discovery while V was chopping up vegetables the other day. She practically shrieked with delight when she saw it. You really must click on the photo and view it in a larger size to really appreciate how amazing it is. Also note the location of the ‘clit’ which was NOT put there by either of us. She left it exactly how she had found it before I took photos of it. I kind of wanted to preform cunnilingus on it.  Instead we ate it

Leo - A Sex “Toy Review by N

As we were looking around, I spotted him. “He” stood 7? inches with 1-½” girth and was perfectly poised on the intricately designed shelfing unit. I almost blushed and forgot all about the girl I came in with.”

Toy Review ~ Lelo Luna Beads by Sylvanus and Mina of At Longing’s End

What sets the rabbit pearl apart from other vibrators I’ve used is the fact that the controls are separate from the toy itself.  This is actually a lovely feature, because we all know how irritating it can be to try fiddling around down there when you’re all lubed up and about to have an orgasm.  The functions are controlled by two separate sliders, which is a fairly common feature amongst rabbits.  One slider for the vibration, another for the swivel of the shaft.

This particular rabbit is made out of elastomer, which is latex and phalate free (and therefore less likely to cause irritation or an allergic reaction).  Since this toy is NOT waterproof, care must be taken when cleaning.  Anti-bacterial soap and water, or an anti-bacterial wet wipe should do the trick.  Please do not expose it to extreme temperatures.

Due to the fact that rabbits have two motors, they unfortunately tend to burn out after only a few months of use.  I would recommend that you do not run the average rabbit for longer than 15-20 minutes at a time.  Like the furry mammal variety, these rabbits are sprinters, not long-distance runners.

I found the vibration intensity of the clitoral stimulator to be WAY more than adequate.  It was fantastic actually, and certainly got the job done in a hurry ;)  It’s easy enough to position the little bunny ears juuuuuuuust right!

The pearls are situated low enough down on the shaft to be more stimulating that other varieties of the rabbit.  I found the fact that they bulge out from the rest of the shaft to be delightful.

The shaft portion was…meh.  Nothing to write home about really.  I LOVE the sensation of dual stimulation, and the shaft is certainly long and wide enough, but the motor seemed a little weak.  It did the trick for sure, but I think it could be a tad stronger.

That aside, this is a great little toy, and one of the more affordable rabbit toys out there.  As they say, there’s nothing quite like the original

On Wednesday night V and I had some drinks, slipped into something comfortable, got out the scissors, and chopped off my dreadlocks.

It was time for them to go.  After sporting them for a year and a half I began to long for brushable hair.

“Wait until it’s a craving” V advised, to help deter me from doing something I might later regret.

Two months passed, and finally I was ready.  Jack was gone on business this week, which gave V and I ample time to cut them and then comb out whatever was left.  We put a bottle of sparkling wine on ice and gathered up everything we needed.

The cutting-off part didn’t take nearly as long as we expected, but the combing out nearly made us insane. It took three hours and nearly a whole bottle of conditioner. We laughed some, and came close to tears of frustration, but eventually every dreadlock nubbin had been detangled.

I was so relieved to get into the shower and rinse out all of the conditioner, even though my head was so sore I winced every time I touched it.

Early the next morning I had an appointment at a salon for a proper cut. V accompanied me, and I took a couple of images to show the stylist, to give her a clear idea of what I wanted. She seemed really cool and progressive, which was reassuring, especially since I’ve never really had a good experience at a salon (my aunt has always cut my hair).

I was thrilled with the cut when she was finished. She left it longer on top so that I can spike it or fauxhawk it, and then much shorter on the sides. She was really impressed with how much length we were able to keep after cutting my dreads off.

I decided not to get it colored that particular day, but when I go back for a trim in six weeks I plan to have her do something fun with it.

My head felt WAY lighter after we cut the dreads off. It was a really strange sensation. It’s been an adjustment, but I got tons of compliments on the new cut over the weekend.

I also got to cross something off of my list. I held a spider. It was a very tiny spider, but it still counts and yes it was still a scary experience.

3. Hold a spider (of the non-poisonous variety)

I may have forgotten to mention that I also quit chewing my nails some time back, which was especially exciting since it was the very first thing on my list.

1. Stop biting my nails

Photos of my new toys and other details from the weekend will have to wait until tomorrow.  Jack is coming home this evening and I can’t wait to see him!  I hope everyone had a great weekend

My first impression of the particular product was the attractive and inconspicuous label.  This is not the sort of thing you need to worry about tucking away if you have company over, unlike some sensual product which are plastered with suggestive images.  Nothing wrong with suggestive images so long as my mother doesn’t come across it.

The base of this spray is sweet almond oil, which is a personal favorite of mine.  It’s a lighter oil, more easily absorbed, and doesn’t leave a lot of residue.  It’s also generally safe for sensitive skin types, although in this case, fragrance has been added, and so I would suggest you test a little on your hands before you apply it anywhere else.

Both V and I liked the scent of this product.  It wasn’t overwhelming, even when applied in liberal amounts.  I dislike scented products that are so strong they leave a ‘taste’ in your mouth, so we were pleased in this case.

I really love the spray bottle, because it allows for better control over the amount of oil you are applying, and it doesn’t get all over the place.  You can pump on as much or as little as you’d like and you’re off to the races.  I’m thinking I’ll put ALL of my massage oil products in spray bottles from now on.  Much better than trying to pour out the right amount.

You may want to warm up this oil before using it.  You can do this by filling a bowl with hot water and dropping the bottle into it for a few minutes before use.  I would also recommend removing rings, watches, and other jewelry before giving a massage (or getting one, in the case of a hand massage).

V has very sensitive skin, she reacts to pretty much everything that isn’t 100% all natural, and she found this massage oil pretty ok.  It did cause a bit of redness on her hands, but it didn’t burn, and it didn’t bother her back at all.  As I said above, test a little on yourself to be sure before you get it all over.

Since it is an oil product, it must be washed off with soap and water.  I wanted to see if it would leave visible stains on fabric, so we applied a liberal amount to a scrap of cloth and left it overnight.  When I checked it in the morning you couldn’t see where I had sprayed the oil, but even so, I’d be careful on good sheets or when putting on clothes after a massage.  Around here we have a couple of cheat flat sheets I use to cover our bedding for massages and the like.

Please note that people with nut allergies should never use products made from almond oil.

At the Halloween party I had the unique experience of being topped by both Deja and V. At first it was a little…strange, having V there, but once she got down to business with a riding crop I stopped giggling. It was a really good, although intense scene. My head went to a strange space and I felt emotional, and I sort of wanted to cry. Not from the pain, it was deeper than that. I was surprised and not entirely sure how to handle it. Fortunately V and Deja were there to coddle and love me and it passed as quickly as it had arrived.

My ass was sore for days after, as you can imagine from these photos, which were taken three days after the party.

Playing with Deja was a lot of fun, and I look forward to scening with her again, perhaps this weekend at the next play party I am going to.

On Saturday Jack and Nia and I went to Fet Fair in Guelph, which is like a craft/trade show for all things kink. I like it because it supports the local community, and the people who hand make all manner of fabulous toys.

It was a really great event! I got to introduce Jack to a number of my friends in the community, and he bought me a couple of new toys.

The bondage belt was of particular interest to Jack, especially as the man who made it buckled it under my breasts and demonstrated how my hands could be fastened at my sides, leaving the o-ring free for leading me about, or tying me to things, etc. Jack was sold on it! The wonderful salesman also threw in a wooden massager (pictured above, top right) which is lovely for sensation play.

Then there was the quirt, which is an easy-to-use alternative to other styles of whip. It may look small, but that thing packs a LOT of sting.

We were entranced by a demo of this portable suspension rig, and I’m rather hopeful that I might entice Jack to purchase one for me eventually (maybe for our anniversary *cough cough*).  I’d be happy with the cross at the very least, but if we had the suspension frame, we could use it for our sex swing as well.

On our way out of the fair, I stopped to enter the raffle draw they were having, which offered several really great prize packages.  Imagine my thrill and surprise when they called me some time later to tell me that I’d won second prize!

In the picture full of assorted implements you can see most of my winnings.  Here are individual photos of some of my favorites.  Although I forgot to get a shot of the whippy rattan cane that was in there and which has proven quite a lovely toy.

That evening V and Nia accompanied me to a play party, at which we had a fabulous time.  Deja was unable to attend but I did run into another Domme friend of mine who beckoned me to play.  The results of which can be clearly seen below (ass photos courtesy of V).

Notice the older bruises on the outsides of the thighs and hips?  Those were leftovers from the Halloween party, still looking rather nasty even a week later.

All of us had a marvelous time, and I’m looking forward to yet another play party this Saturday.  Unfortunately I don’t think it’s going to work out that V can attend, since Jack will be out of town on business, but Deja is going so I won’t be totally on my own (not that I would mind at this point).  It’s been wonderful getting out more in the community.  I seem to make new friends every time I go to an event.

I finally feel as though I’ve caught up on all the recent happenings, despite the lack of explicit detail (not my doing, those are just the rules).  I should have some more gratuitous ass shots to show off after this weekend, but in the mean time, here’s some boobies.  Happy Monday!

The sex toy industry has been happy to cater to those of us who wish to develop stronger kegel muscles and tighten ourselves up naturally, without the invasive surgical intervention.  One such product, which I’ve had the pleasure (and benefit) of testing is the Natural Contours Energie, brought to you by Adam & Eve.  This weighted pelvic floor exerciser is specially designed to provide the right amount of resistance to get those PC muscles in tip top shape.

Aside from making your vagina feel tighter, stronger pelvic muscles can result in longer and stronger orgasms, and a more fulfilling sex life overall.

I particularly like the shape of the energie, because the curve and bulbous ends work very, very well for g-spot stimulation.

To use this exerciser, simply stand with your feet a littler wider than shoulder width apart.  Begin with the larger end, and insert into the vagina until the toy is half-way inside of your body.  Then, clench your pelvic muscles and let go of the end you are holding.  Continue clenching, holding the energie inside of you for the count of 10, then hold onto the end while you relax and release.  Repeat this 12-15 times at least, increasing the number of repetitions as you feel able.  I would encourage you to do this daily, for no less than two weeks in a row, before you make any judgement of this product.  It’s a process, these things don’t happen overnight ya know.  Be mindful to do these exercises over carpet or a folded up towel/blanket.  This is just *my* personal preferred method, but you can also use the energie while laying on your back.  Simply insert it as described above and then imagine drawing it inside of you while you work your muscles.

Once you find the larger end is not much of a challenge, start using the smaller end in the same way.  Remember that once you achieve the desired result, you must continue to exercise those muscles or they will lose tone again.  10-12 reps every other day will be enough to keep those muscles tight and fit.

The energie is easy to clean with a little anti-bacterial soap and warm water.  I wouldn’t advise you to boil it, since the outside material is a sort of hard plastic and I have no idea what effect extreme temperatures might have on it.  Besides, it doesn’t have any seams or places for bacteria to become trapped, so a thorough washing will do the trick.

Since this toy is plastic, it’s hypo-allergenic, doesn’t have any scent, and as long as you keep it clean, should not cause you any irritation.
