Sex Toy Reviews – Fetish

As someone who considers themselves pretty kinky, I was actually surprised when I realized that my toy box was lacking a blindfold.  Sure, bandanas have been known to do the trick, but sometimes you are looking for a more polished, sexy look – which is where a basic black blindfold comes in.  And the latest addition to my collection, Kinklab Blindfold, is just that.

Made of Polyurethane fabric and elastic, this bare bones blindfold does the trick without added bells and whistles.  The only real extra is the padding around the nose area that keeps the outside out while you are enjoying the sweet sensory deprivation provided.  Shaped sort of like a pair of cat-eye glasses, this blindfold is attached to a piece of elastic (13”-22” head circumference) that is soft on the inside and satiny on the outside, which offers comfort and style at the same time.  Not bad for a fetish toy that costs less than $15.  Plus the materials make for an easily wiped down product.  Gotta love an easy clean up!

Though Kinklab Blindfold may not have the same pitch black affect that other, higher end blindfolds might, it still gets the job done without letting it too much light and activity.  To be honest, I think I would prefer a blindfold that ties, as I felt that the elastic wasn’t giving me the hold I wished it would.  If I pulled the elastic around the back of my head all the way up and positioned it near the crown of my head, it felt a little tighter, but I can’t imagine wanting to go through that all while trying to get busy.

All in all, this is a reasonably priced product that is perfect for folks who are ready to dip their toes into kink without dropping their whole wallet.  Nicely done, Kinklab.

(Available in Pink and Black.)

Some folks say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.  I guess if I needed to draw a map, I would say that they way to my clit is through my nipples.  They are the perfect amount of sensitive, with this amazing ability to near get me off when touched – without ever having my junk stimulated.  Basically, I love my nipples.  So when I saw that Kinklab Mandible Body Clamps were on the list of Babeland toys to review, I totally jumped at the chance to get those suckers on my own excitable parts.

While I’ve reviewed nipple clamps in the past, as well as played with them on my own, I have yet to find a pair that really works for me – and I was hoping that these beautiful clamps would be the ones.  Unfortunately, it just didn’t happen.  Not only did I have a hard time getting the clamps open and closed (even when I did the instructed squeezing) with the dial, the chain part that joins the individual clamps kept getting loose and falling off.

I also really was not a fan of the dial once they were on my nipples because when I wanted them off, it took too long to get the dial to take them off.  Because my nips are so damn sensitive, when something hurts, it REALLY HURTS and I need it to stop RIGHT NOW.  Having to wait to have the clamps squeezed a little (extra ouch!) and the dial turned felt like an eternity.  And that’s when I actually got them to stay on, which wasn’t very often.  Because the actual tip that clamps onto your nipple is quite small (and thankfully rubber covered), there isn’t a ton of surface to grip the nipple, so the whole thing falls off easily, especially with the chain attached.  Very frustrating, but then again, it could be something to do with my nipples.  The package says you can use them on other parts too, but alas, I was too annoyed to even bother trying to mess with that dial and my bits. No thank you. Read the rest of this entry »

One is fun and two will do, but three is where the real action is, especially when you’re talking about Kinklab’s Triple Leather Slapper!  This high quality leather slapper features three various length leather strips that work together to create the ultimate impact experience. Lightweight and easy to handle, the foot-long black leather stud is a quick study for the novice top, yet still intense enough for advance folks to enjoy it as well.

And that’s not it! This slapper is designed as two toys in one, meaning you can use either side to experience very different sensations.  The three slappers together elicit the most beautiful of “thwacking” sounds and leave your ass feeling delightfully stingy, while the back side of the slapper offers up a little big gentler of a sensation.  As well, the studded handle works perfectly to keep your handhold tight and your swats seamless.

I had never used a slapper before, so this was an extra exciting venture for me.  While floggers and other bigger toys are nice, they are heavier and a little harder to wield, especially for a newbie impact player – which is exactly why the slapper is so great.  It’s easy to use and compact, but still sends the same stingy shocks to my bottom that larger toys offer up.  Good times were had by all!  Plus it’s made from awesome materials, so I don’t need to worry about it falling apart after two weeks.

And for the really quite decent price (under $40), this is a total impact play staple that needs to find a home in any kinkster’s toy box.

Hmm, ball gags – so many potential jokes, so very little skill at humor to make them. I thought I’d give them a try for so many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that I am a very loud lover and thought this might be a new sexier way of keeping the neighbors from calling the cops or scaring the blue bejesus out of my cat.

In practice it was a whole different story. Having a ball gag in means a lot more than volume control, it also means you can’t lick, bite or swallow anything but gag which leaves a huge amount of play in your lovers hands alone. It’s a remarkably humbling experience not being able to give back half as much as you get, you also have to trust your partner to know what you like and that they’ll go that extra mile without you asking them to verbally or you’re going to have a pretty terrible time unless the gag alone happens to be your fetish.

Only in San Francisco. A coffee shop that doubles as a kink boutique is scheduled to open early next week.  Wicked Grounds (what a great name), the first shop of it’s kind in the U.S., will be opening in the SOMA section of the city – the same part of SF that hosts the annual kink-tastic Folsom Street Fair.  Planning to offer the finest coffees and teas, along with sandwiches, sweets, Wicked Grounds will also sell artisan fetish items, such as toys, jewlery and art.

What a freaking awesome idea.  Seriously.  I love bringing “taboo” culture into the light of day and creating safe, public spaces for people to live as they choose.  While there was the topless coffee shop in Maine a few months back (it was burned down not too long ago), San Francisco really is the only place in the U.S. that would accept and embrace such a risque idea.  They’ve even taken care of the only issue I found myself questioning – yes, Wicked Grounds will be an 18+ establishment. 

Take a look at Violet Blue’s interview with Wicked Grounds co-owner, Rose White to get all the juicy details about lattes served in pet bowls for your human pet, as well as keeping the space totally geek friendly with free wifi and tons of outlets.

Mutil-volume porno collections get a bad rap.  Sure, you may not need to watch “Granny’s Fanny” volumes 1 through 36 to “get” what’s happening in number 37, but they are far from the cheesey reputation they’ve been given.  Porn series are there to let us know that somehow these two totally different movies are connected, even if we can clearly see that they are both called “Butt Sluts.”  To give these series the respect they deserve, I’ve decided to dedicate this week to the top five fifth volumes of these awesome multi-part movie series!

After a weekend away in Toronto and two days out of the office, I’ve been a busy, busy pervy pants, trying to fit in all my porn watchin’ and recap writin’ into what seems like the fastest 8 hour days I’ve ever experienced.  While fast days are usually a good thing, these ones are flying by to the point that I look at the clock once, then the next time I glance that way, it’s 4 hours later!  That said, I wanted to make sure all you slowwwww day people were getting love too.  And is there a more perfect day to celebrate that love than Humpday!?  I think not!  So, for all you trucking through a slow ass Wednesday, this link love is for you.

Let’s get to it!

- What does a sex worker look like?  Audacia Ray and a bunch of people at the “Speak Up! Media Skills for the Empowered Sex Worker” seminar (including Dylan Ryan!) created this awesome PSA to show everyone how sex workers are just like you and I.

- Bondage wear and kinky toys are being manufactured in Karachi, Pakistan… in a small facility next to a mosque and the offices of a radical Islamic organization.  While that may seem totally suprising to us, it is, in reality, a very lucrative and thriving business choice in the region.  As well, many women that are piecing together the corsets and backless spanking skirts have no idea what they are making.  For me this raises questions of informed consent, even though it’s just manufacturing… but I thought it was definitely something to post.  (via Jezebel)

- Though writing porn reviews can be a totally fun and interesting job, it too can have it’s down sides just like anything else.  Who wants to watch more porn when they get home from watching 8 hours of it?  Not me, and can I just say that it’s nice to hear someone else’s first person account.  (via The Frisky)

- The NYC Museum of Sex is giving out blow job balloons (pictured) to promote their oral sex exhibit.  Best marketing idea ever! (via The Frisky)

I’ve never been too kinky of a person. Sure, some might say that being a lesbian and fucking with strap-on cocks is pretty kinky in their mind, but to me, that’s pretty much the norm. When I say kinky, I mean BDSM kinky. Pain, pleasure, subs, dommes, restraints, flogging – any of that really. I’ve tried some of the lighter stuff in the past, but decided it wasn’t really my thing. But that was a while back, before I really got my sea legs when it came to sexuality and testing my limits. I think it’s due time to re-open that box and see where the wind takes me with it. Hey, you never know. I hated mustard a few years ago, and now I am a mustard fan. Tastes change, and that tends to apply to sexual tastes as well.

One thing I hadn’t played with before, but always thought about was nipple clamps. I have very, very sensitive nipples and I found the thought of pinching them in tight clamps both scary and exciting, so when I got the chance to pick a new toy, I figured I would finally go forth and choose them. I wanted a fetishy toy that wasn’t too intimidating and something that I could control the stimulation. There were a ton of different styles to choose from – vibrating, jeweled, two separate clamps, but I ultimately decided on Tweezer clamps by Spartacus because I really liked that they were adjustable and easy to use. And I was not disappointed.

Studio: Shadow Lane Category: Spanking

I have to admit, spanking films aren’t usually what I look for when I’m looking for a good adult movie, but “Domestic Discipline” is just too awesome to not enjoy. From Christine Justice’s expert skills right down to the whimpering, and yet somehow smug performance – of Harley Rowe, this is a beautifully crafted film for all those discipline lovers out there.

Where to begin? This film is filled with so many enjoyable elements it’s hard to pick just one to start with, but I’m going to begin with my usual favorite element – the plot. This time the storyline is gloriously basic: an out of work husband runs up a thousand dollar bill calling phone sex hotlines and his bill paying wife finds out about it just before she’s about to leave for work. While Christine is taking a little restitution out of his hide for the bill, she finds out that Rowe also “lost” her wedding ring, which leads up to my favorite line in the movie – “this is for my ring” repeated in time as Christine thoroughly thrashes the only part of her husband’s rear she hasn’t covered yet, his asshole.

Throughout the film Justice uses seven different implements, including her bare hands, to turn Rowe’s ass first a rosy red and then nearly purple, all without breaking the skin. Paddles, leather strops, belts, and the infamous birch rod, are all expert tools in Christine’s hands but it’s really her mastery of the squirming, struggling and constantly protesting, Rowe that’s to be admired. With an arm twist or a firm tug on Rowe’s ear, Justice gets him calmed down and back into position for another round.

Finally, it’s really the technical things that really take “Domestic Discipline” to another level. Shadow Lane is an amazing studio for all your cherry red ass needs and their expert skill has never been as evident as in this film. The sound of every slap, paddle and switch comes through in brilliant clarity, so that you’ll likely be wincing right along with Rowe as the film progresses. That won’t be hard to do either because without missing a beat of the spanking action, Shadow Lane still gives you plenty of angles and views to enjoy Rowe’s tormented face and watch as Justine breaks a sweat. At no point during this movie is the viewer left focusing on one side while all the action is happening on the other.

So there you have it, a simple but great plot (when she found out about her ring Christine had me cheering her on) a mind boggling array of implements, expert handling and great camera work make “Domestic Discipline” a wonderful view for anyone into discipline – and anyone else that needs to let off a little steam.

It’s not too often that people can parlay their passions into a paycheck… especially if your passion happens to be hardcore BDSM. But for some, being able to do what they love for a living brings something special to the mix and turns the old 9 to 5 into the extraordinary. Alyssah Simone, otherwise known as the fabulous Maitresse Madeline, has not only created a lucrative career out of her love for fetish, she and her partner, Elijah X, have their own company, Dark Circus, with which they use their expertise to produce videos that they themselves would enjoy.

Maitresse Madeline must be doing something right, because aside from being amazingly intelligent, sexy and having impeccable fashion taste, she is nominated for a 2009 AVN Award for Best New Web Starlet.

Oh, and she can breathe fire too. All I know is that she can keep that fire to herself… I am already way too hot for her.

1. How (and when) did you get started in the industry?
In my personal life I had always been into kinky activities and BDSM. I went to school and worked a mainstream job. But I yearned for something more free and creative. When I met my business partner he was on the same page as I was and immediately we knew we wanted to do something in adult and we wanted to do it on our own terms. We both have that passion for the fetish side of sex and both of us brought many ideas to the table. At the time we met, I had already left my mainstream job and was working as a professional webcam model doing considerably well. This was about 4 years ago. During that time together we conceptualized our fetish production company Dark Circus. Our first site (to take off) Madelineiswicked.com is a femme domme niche site that explores my love of BDSM and the darker side of my sexuality. We have three others sites about to roll out here within the next few months including my own solo girl site AlyssahSimone.com.
