The Liv by Lelo

elo liv 300x300 The Liv by Lelo

Last week I reviewed the Elise [my review] and today I bring you her younger sister Liv.  In shape, these toys are pretty well identical.  The Liv is a bit smaller than the Elise however, for women who want less length and girth.

Pleasure Object Liv Elise
Length 7” 8 ¼”
Insertable Length 4 ½” 5 ¼ ”
Circumference 3 ¾ ” 4 ½ ”

Liv’s body is sensually formed with smooth feminine curves and a rounded G-spot head.  She is available in bright pink, lime green and navy blue colors, and is made of ABS plastic, with a lush skin of body-friendly medical-grade silicone.  Her subtle curves and velvety flesh tempt your sense of touch and beg to caress every inch of your body.

Like Elise, Liv is a rechargeable vibe that plugs in, powers up and you’re ready to play.  That means no batteries and she, like all of the Lelo products, helps cut down on our carbon footprint.  Unlike Elise, Liv only has one vibration motor which is multispeed and cycles through various patterns including straight vibration, rollercoaster ups and downs, as well as escalating and pulsating modes.  These options are controlled via a LED control pad at the base with [+] [-] options to turn her off and on, and accelerate her vibrations, as well as [^] [v] controls that allow you to cycle through her undulations.

Liv, like all Lelo’s pleasure objects comes in a black lovely storage gift box embossed with the Lelo brand and includes a black satin storage bag, 1 year warranty and instruction booklet.

So which do I prefer: Liv or Elise?  Well, aside from the fact that the Elise has two motors that help it mimic penetrative sex, I like the fullness that Elise gives over Liv’s slimmer, smaller body.  Although I don’t consider myself a size queen, per se, in the case of Elise vs. Liv, bigger is better for me at least.  That said, one of my favorite vibrators in the entire Lelo line is the Gigi [my review], which is much smaller in comparison to both, but satisfies my G-spot just as well.  So, Liv may be just the right size for you and is a fair bit cheaper as well.  No matter what you choose when it comes to Lelo products however, you can’t go wrong, as they are all excellent quality sex toys designed to get you off.

You can purchase both the Liv and the Gigi at GoodVibes.com

Crash Pad Series- Volume 5- The Revolving Door

crashpad5 Crash Pad Series Volume 5 The Revolving Door

Crash Pad Series- Volume 5- The Revolving Door
Director- Shine Louise Houston
Studio- Blowfish Video/ Pink & White
Cast- August, Stacy Staxxx, Rex, Scarlett Chaos, Red, Cyd Loverboy, Kuma, Julie Warren, Shawn, Mickey Mod

Crash Pad Series, Volume 5: The Revolving Door is the kinkiest of the Crash Pad series so far and features lots of plays of dominance, submissive power struggles, switching and hardcore sex.  The cast consists of hot gender-fucking freaks, femmes-dykes, alt-queers, bois, butches, a trans-man and even a surprise ending between Crash Pad crush Shawn (Syd Blakovich) and a bio-guy.  With five scenes, various top/bottom scenarios, diverse body-types and looks, there is plenty of hot queer kinky porn for everyone.

Scene 1- August and Stacy Staxxx

craswh pad5 1 300x200 Crash Pad Series Volume 5 The Revolving Door

Its August’s birthday and Stacy Staxxx throws her a hot party, with herself as the gift.  Stacy is a stacked, hot, alt-nymphet and August is a cute alt-dyke, both with nice tats.  Stacy begins by dripping birthday candle wax on August, and then ties her wrists to the bed.  Stacy then fucks herself on August’s faux cock.  The pair switch positions and August takes control, binding Stacy wrists, and then fingering her.  They end with August fucking Stacy doggie-style until she whimpers and moans in orgasm. Sexy!

Scene 2- Rex and Scarlett Chaos

craswh pad5 2 300x200 Crash Pad Series Volume 5 The Revolving Door

Rex and Scarlett Chaos (aka Essin’ Em) meet up for some femme/dyke action.  Scarlett is bodacious and a Rex is very cute boi-dyke.  They make a good pair together and the scene has a lot of playful chemistry.  We start out with some spanking and some very passionate necking, and then Scarlett gets naughty and struggles a bit for dominance.  She’s what I call a SAM (smart-assed Masochist), who likes to be a saucy bottom.  But, Rex won’t have any of that and cuffs her to the bed post.  Rex uses a pinwheel on her, and then starts to finger her.  Scarlett pleads, “Please fuck me,” which Rex does hardcore and gives her a screaming orgasm that breaks the sound barrier. Scarlett reciprocates by giving Rex’s strap-on dick a wicked blowjob (something she does quite well).  Rex fucks her until she screams again, making for a hot, playful scene!

Scene 3- Red and Cyd Loverboy

craswh pad5 3 300x200 Crash Pad Series Volume 5 The Revolving Door

Red’s a hot alt-femme-boi with killer tits and tats, and Cyd’s a playful butch-boi.  Cyd is the obvious bottom but likes a good struggle.  It doesn’t take long for Red to put her in her place though as she slaps her face, makes her suck cock, degrades her and calls her pain-slut and faggot.  There’s some chest punching, ass spanking, bondage, gagging, and all around rough play.  However, the scene remains pretty playful.  Red ass fingers Cyd, and then fucks her.  Later Cyd eats Red out and fingers her until she comes.  Then Cyd gets fingered and bites her hand as she orgasms.  Great chemistry!

Scene 4- Kuma and Julie Warren

craswh pad5 4 300x200 Crash Pad Series Volume 5 The Revolving Door

Kuma and Julie appear to be a couple, or at least frequent play partners.  Kuma is a bald, bearded trans-guy leather daddy with lots of tattoos including a cool back piece.  Julie is a voluptuous bottom and Daddy’s good little girl. Kuma’s quite a loving sadist and amazingly skilled at percussion.  He wields two-fisted floggers on Julie’s back then her breasts.  Then it’s on to the nasty canes that leave nice red stripes on Julie’s thighs.  Julie then gets to suck Kumo’s cock for being “such a good girl” and is later fucked and fisted, until she asks permission to come.  Yes sir, thank you sir!

Scene 5- Shawn and Mickey Mod

craswh pad5 5 300x200 Crash Pad Series Volume 5 The Revolving Door

For many films I don’t like to read about them, or even read the covers before I watch them, as it takes away some of the freshness and element of surprise.  Well, I was surprised when I saw this obvious bio-guy sitting waiting on a bed waiting for someone to arrive.  And, who walks in?  Crash Pad boi-crush Shawn (aka Syd Blakovich).  I’m floored and wonder how this is going to play out.  Mickey immediately takes the bottom role and starts sucking Shawn’s cock.  So, I think maybe this scene has a chance.  Then Mickey fingers Shawn while she sucks his bio-dick, and they make-out all sweaty and hot, and finally Shawn squirts in Mickey’s face as he comes.  Pretty feverish scene, and like Shawn says during the credits “if someone’s attractive, they’re attractive, and gender isn’t something you see with your eyes anyway.”  So while I was surprised to see Shawn with a guy, the scene works and is definitely hot.

There wasn’t one scene in the film that didn’t interest or excite me in some way.  I loved all the kinky exploration and playful S/m.  All the scenes had a nice build-up of momentum and chemistry between the players.  I especially loved the diverse array of bodies and shifting genders.  I hope Houston keeps adding more queer kink, interesting characters and maybe adds in an orgy scene at the Crash Pad someday soon.

You can get Crash Pad 5 and other films from the Crash Pad Series at Blowfish.com where you can also view the trailer.

Elise by Lelo

When it comes to luxury “lust objectified” sex toys, Lelo is divine.  I have been a fan of Lelo ever since I played with lovely Lily and her chic little sister Nea.  Then I found Gigi and I had fantasies of being stranded on a desert island with her.  In Luna I found the perfect work-out partner for doing kegels with, helping to keep my PC muscles strong.  Her aunts Liv and Iris were saucy and sweet, yet I still craved something more.  Something more substantial in length and girth, something more elegant and stylish.  Then I found Elise.

Ah, Elise!  She is a lover, like no other.  Elise is the Diva of the Femme line of Lelo’s pleasure objects and retails just under $185 US.  She is both a clitoral vibrator and a G-spot stimulator in one with an overall length of 8 ¼” by a 4 ½” circumference.  This significant length and girth make her the largest pleasure object of the Lelo Femme line.  She is much more satisfying than Gigi and Liv, yet with a rounded shape I find more pleasurable than Iris’ textured-petal body.

Her body is sensually formed with smooth feminine curves and a rounded G-spot head.  Available in matte black and plum colors, she is made of ABS plastic, with a lush skin of body-friendly medical-grade silicone.  Her subtle curves and velvety flesh tempt your sense of touch and beg to caress every inch of your body.

Elise has two vibration motors: one in the rounded head and the other down the shaft.  These vibrations work in tandem to shoot vibrations up and down the shaft, depending on which of the five cycling patterns you choose, mimicking penetrative sex.  Some of these patterns make the vibe feel like it is undulating inside of you, while others feel like a thrusting motion. Still others feel like a soft thumping sensation that works perfect for the G-spot.  These vibrations are incredibly sophisticated and all the modes feel absolutely delicious.  In addition to that, the Elise has several speeds and is quite powerful on the highest setting, much more powerful in fact that most internal vibrators due to this dual vibration design.  Despite all this, Elise is whisper-quiet and very discrete.  She will never divulge your sexy secrets and may be the only a lover who will never let you down.

Like Lelo’s other insertable vibrators, Elise features a LED control pad at the base with [+] [-] options to turn her on and rev her up, as well as [^] [v] controls that allow you to cycle through her throbbing undulations.  Elise is a rechargeable vibe, comes with a plug-in charger and takes about two hours before she is ready to pleasure you.  Finally, Elise comes in a black lovely storage gift box embossed with the Lelo brand and includes a black satin storage bag, 1 year warranty and instruction booklet.

Elise is the Divine Diva of the Lelo line and my favorite Lelo toy to date next to Gigi.  If Lelo ever decided to combine Gigi’s head with Elise’s body, it would be a match made in pleasure heaven.

Tristan Taorminos Rough Sex

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex (2009)
Studio: Vivid
Director: Tristan Taormino
Cast: Adrianna Nicole, Christian XXX, Daniel Wylde, Derrick Pierce, Francesca Le, Julius Ceazher, Marco Banderas, Marie Luv, Mark Davis, Sasha Grey, Satine Phoenix

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex is brutally sexy!  It has a very cool and simple premise: five hot vixens dream up their best “rough sex” fantasies and get to live them out on camera with their most desired stud porn hunks.  The idea itself is a wet dream come true, and when these sassy (or submissive) sex kittens team up with guys who like to play rough, the sparks begin to fly.

If you are into naughty role playing and hardcore, rough sex, this film is for you. They don’t fool around and there is plenty of face slapping, humiliation, degradation, whacking and general “man”-handling action going down. The sex is pretty rough and the fantasies are fairly common role-play scenarios that many women have. There are three fem-submissive scenes about being forced or taken like Adrianna Nicole’s intruder alert, Marie Luv’s punishment and Satine Phoenix’s stranded damsel meets dominant stranger.  Then, there are the divas that turn the tables on their fuck obsessions such as Francesca Lee’s femdomme supremacy and Sasha Grey’s switch play.  Each scene features a prelude interview of the female cast member as she talks about what’s hot and what’s not, and why “rough sex” makes her wet.

Scene 1- Adrianna and Marco

rs11 200x300 Tristan Taorminos Rough Sex

Adrianna longs for fantasy rape by an intruder who breaks into her apartment. Just as she gets out of the shower, Marco steals up behind her, grabs her, and then clasps a hand over her mouth warning her not to scream.  Adrianna’s eyes go wide with fear and this scene looks like it is going to be really hot.  He slaps her around a bit, chokes her, and then drags her into the bedroom like a dog on a leash.  After that, the scene kind-of looses it raw edge and the intensity in those first few seconds is really never captured again.  Sure, it’s rough, but there is something lacking, like my connection with the performers.  While they both seem genuine, I never really get into it and I find myself critiquing it rather than enjoying the scene for what it is.

Scene 2- Satine and Derrick

rs2 1 300x168 Tristan Taorminos Rough Sex

Whoa!  This scene is perhaps the best in the film.  So fucking hot, it sizzles and the chemistry between Satine and Derrick is tangible. Not to mention that Derrick is to die for (bald, alt and tattooed, with a rock-hard body) and Satine is a sultry little minx. Satine’s fantasy is getting stranded on a lost desert road, where she meets a “kindly stranger” who offers to stay with her until someone comes for her vehicle.  The sun is hot, the sand is dusty, they are sweating and flirting, and then things turn a bit dangerous.  Derrick realizes no-one is coming for a while and he can have his way with her.  There is a lot of foreplay which becomes increasingly rougher as he realizes, hey, she likes it.  He starts pushing her around, groping her roughly, pulling her hair and smacking her face and tits and you can tell that Satine is getting so turned on and juicy before he ever starts fucking her.  I can’t tell you how many times I watched this scene and came.  Definitely jilling off material! Rough sex, lots of unique positions on the vintage jeep, and crowned by a choking messy forced blowjob.  These two rock the screen with a riveting performance.

rs 1 201x300 Tristan Taorminos Rough Sex

Scene 3 – Francesca and Christian

rs3 1 300x168 Tristan Taorminos Rough Sex

Christian is a magnificent brute of a man (again bald and sexy) and Francesca is a hot busty milf.  She’s a bit fed up with her husband ignoring her all the time, being the perfect housewife and all, and thinks it’s time for a little pay-back. And, pay-back’s a BITCH in stilettos and corset, with a nasty attitude and the will to dominate her much larger opponent. I like my brutes dominant and my bitches submissive, so for me this scene didn’t hold a lot of sexual pizzazz.  Although, Christian is adorable and so submissive for such a big boy it was interesting seeing him dominated.  Still, all the while she was crushing her tits and ass in his face, slapping him around, and spitting cum in his mouth (yuk!), I was wishing he’d grab her and give her a few smacks of her own.  I guess for me there was a problem with the believability factor.  I just didn’t believe she could dominate him in real life, and didn’t like the way she shrieked orders at him and brutalized him, when he was being such a good boy.  Not that I don’t think that he can be dominated, as he seemed to like it.  She just came across as a bit shrill and lacked authenticity. Still, I’m sure this is a fantasy that would appeal to many women and men who would find it hot.

Scene 4 – Marie and Julius

rs12 300x200 Tristan Taorminos Rough Sex

Marie wants to be punished for fucking around and treated like the slut she is.  The fantasy sounded great and I was all for it.  But, then the action starts happening, and there’s not much cussin’ and a fightin’ goin’ on here, and I’m like “Whoa, wait a minute?”  Why isn’t he calling her nasty names and treating her like a little tramp, whore, slut, which she obviously wants and deserves? Man, give me ten minutes with her and I’ll have her crying and begging for more.  Again, like the first scene there was no build-up, no sizzle, and it didn’t seem very rough to me, but maybe my finger pressed the fast forward button by mistake and I missed all the good stuff.  Nope. Don’t think so.  Weak scene, but too bad as it had potential.

Scene 5 – Sasha and Daniel

rs5 1 300x168 Tristan Taorminos Rough Sex

Okay, did I say that scene 2 was the best scene?  Maybe I lied.  To tell the truth, this scene is so hot that it rivals scene 2, and they both win best scene in my book.  Smokin’ Sasha wants to play switch in a power play scenario and who does she pick?—my all-time favorite male porn star, Daniel.  Daniel is known for his rough play style in many alt porn films, as much as for his playfulness.  Sasha picked him because she thought he would let her slap him around, which he does and seems to like it too.  They talk about what they’d like to do and Sasha defines her only limit—No tit slapping.  So, the pair get it on and right from the beginning it’s a power struggle but Daniel takes over and does his nasty choking and slapping number on her.  The scene has a series of peaks as it continually builds momentum, switching back and forth, while they get lost in the passion of each moment.  And, then, Daniel forgets and slaps Sasha’s tits, immediately cringing like dog about to be punished.  Sasha pins him on the pool table and Daniel starts apologizing profusely, and then they are snickering and laughing and back into the hot rough sex play.  This scene was not only hot but so much fun.  You can tell they are both getting off on it and are enjoying the ambiguity of working together for the first time.

rs5 201x300 Tristan Taorminos Rough Sex

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex is overall a great porn if you like rough sex and some serious role-playing power exchange fantasies.  It is worth it just for scene 2 and 5 alone.  I applaud Tristan for giving the women in the film the chance to design their own scenarios and define what is rough and sexy to them.  The production quality is pretty good in most places although the sound was off a bit sometimes and some of the camera work looked a bit shaky.  The extras includes a Choking and Safety snippet with Penny Flame who teaches the proper way to choke to avoid injury which I thought was a very good idea, as no doubt a bunch of novices will see this film and want to start practicing without a clue.

Check out Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex at Babeland, where you can find many other films by Tristan and other cool women porn directors.

Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out

SevenMinsHeavenComingOut HR Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out

Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out (2009)
Director- Courtney Trouble
Studio- Reel Queer Productions / Good Releasing
Cast- Carson, Puck Goodfellow, Joline Parton, Sophia, Tina Horn, Sarah Lee Sinful, Jae

Courtney Trouble (Reel Queer Productions) recently joined forces with GoodVibes.com and their new adult film production company Good Releasing, directing and producing four films already this year including Roulette, Nostalgia, Speak Easy and Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out.  In case you don’t know who Courtney Trouble is, she is the creator of NoFauxxx.com “the longest running queer porn site on the web” and her film Roulette won the Feminist Porn Award for “Most Deliciously Diverse Cast” just this year.  Her film company, Real Queer Productions “documents authentic, edgy, queer sex and culture with relevant, intelligent films inclusive of the many sexualities that identify as queer.”

Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out

And, the timing couldn’t be better.  Queer Porn is the new alt-porn of the adult industry, an up-and-coming genre that is making waves across the pornosphere with directors like Shine Louise Houston, Courtney Trouble and Madison Young, and queer adult film actors like Jiz Lee, Syd Blakovich, Dylan Ryan and many more.

Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out

“Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out” is Trouble’s answer to reality porn, in which she gathers a amateur cast of diverse queer women and a transman Puck Goodfellow, puts them in a slumber party environment to play spin-the-bottle and Truth or Dare, and films the sexy frolicking that transpires.  With no script, no rules and no limits, the cast are free to explore their fantasies and desires with whomever they choose, a few of which part-take in every experience and scene they can get themselves into like sex-starved, greedy little hedonists.  Two of the cast have never participated in an adult before and talk about their experience in behind-the-scenes interludes.

As you may imagine, what emerges is a fantastic fuck-fest featuring strap-ons and gang-bangs, spanking, role-play and power exchanges, fisting and fingering, lessons in cock sucking, kissing, fondling and playful teasing.  Where one scene ends, the other begins and the sex and play seems to go on forever, with bodies changing places, a new strap-on here, a new twosome, threesome or foursome reveling in hot, sexy, authentic, queer, smoldering, diverse, inter-racial hardcore sex.  There is never a dull moment, and the chemistry between the cast and their enthusiasm is evident in their sparkling eyes, laughs and smiles, and orgasmic moans.

This film is every queer girl’s wet dream, and certainly one of my all-time fantasies.  I won’t go into a scene-by-scene, as you really have to see this film for yourself.  So, if you are a fan of queer porn and Courtney Trouble’s work, or if you are curious to what it’s all about and want a great jill’in off experience, go buy “Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out” now from GoodVibes.com.

Screw the Roses Send Me the Thorns

by Domina Doll on 10/15/2009

in bdsm,book,dominance,domination,kink,submission,submissive

screwroses0 300x300 Screw the Roses Send Me the Thorns

“Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns” was not the first book I have ever read on BDSM.  When I first started getting interested in BDSM, the internet was my guide, some of it useful, some of it ridiculous, everyone had an opinion.  I then read “Different Loving” and “Sensuous Magic”, both excellent books relating to power exchange, the first being a series of “case studies” of real lifestylers by Brame, Brame and Jacobs, and the second a more subjective, yet open look into the BDSM lifestyle by sex radical, educator and writer Patrick Califia.

“Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism” by Phillip Miller and Molly Devon is very subjective, written by a male dominant and submissive female couple and first published in 1995.  It has been hailed as the go-to guide into power exchange relationships and even the BDSM bible.  Today, the book is fairly dated as both the images and the text will attest, yet there is still a lot of relevant information inside.  It is written in first person as both Phillip and Molly write various parts of each section, each relating it to their personal experience and power dynamic.  The tone is friendly and tries to use humor quite a bit which tends to be a bit kitschy at times. The book is also a bit sexist, as Phillip seems to have his own ideas of male and female roles, including sections entitled: “Phillip’s Treehouse—No Girls Allowed” and “Molly’s Quilting Bee,” in which only the males or females in each relationship are supposed to read each part.  No doubt these dynamics work well for this couple and many others, but I found the tone, the sexism and the sometimes tasteless humor to be sometimes off-putting and found myself rolling my eyes a lot while reading it.

Having said that, this is a good introductory book for those searching to learn the basics of BDSM relationships, but it is by no means the BDSM bible.  It does teach many different aspects of the power exchange relationship, but bear in mind that it is subjective so to get a full education, read many books on the subject, learn from your own personal experiences and get a mentor if you can and come to your own conclusions.

What you will learn in Screw the Roses

screwroses3 Screw the Roses Send Me the ThornsPage from Screw the Roses

Chapter One defines the BSDM terms and roles, which is fairly basic, yet sometimes confusing.  It states the difference between a Top/bottom and Dom/sub and the interchangeability of these roles.  Chapter Two talks about communication and trust as well as the psychological aspects of a relationship, all practical advice and Chapter Three gives resources on where to find play partners (the internet!). Chapter Four discusses negotiations, levels in the power exchange (including unrealistic situations), and limits and has a sample negotiation questionnaire which has now become the standard.  Chapter Five delves deeper in the male/female roles and how men and women should connect with alternate aspects of themselves, ie: their anima and animus.  Chapter Six introduces the reader into various types of sensation, pain and edge play, whereas Chapter Seven and Eight are all about bondage.   Chapters Nine and Ten focus on percussion play and discipline, while Chapter Eleven deals with endorphins, pain as pleasure and sub-space.  Chapter Twelve talks about the more psychological elements of BDSM play such as verbal abuse, humiliation, and degradation.  The final Chapter gives you ideas on how to furnish your play space and the end of the book features a Glossary and several Appendixes with resources, many of which will be now obsolete.

Most of the sections are fairly comprehensive and most people, even advanced players will no doubt find useful information in it.  I especially enjoyed the part that described the Doms and subs you should avoid with monikers like: Divina Nolo Mentis, Autoerotico Fabula, Neandrathal Vulgaris, and Femme Desparata.  While these caricatures are tongue-in-cheek, it is amazing how you can find their likeness in “real” scene players so easily.  Another myth the authors discount is the 24/7 lifestyle Master/slave relationship which they say is too much pressure, unrealistic and unhealthy, and for the most part I’d have to agree.  I have rarely seen people live these roles constantly in a relationship and last very long.  Not to mention that relationships evolve and dynamics change.

So, there are some great pointers in this book, lots of useful info and plenty to read, if you can get past the POV, kitschy humor, and sometimes egotistical sexism.  And, don’t forget there are a lot of varying perspectives, so read other books on the subject, join your local BDSM group when you feel ready, and find a good mentor to help you learn the ropes.

My Sexy Little Pole-Professional Dancing Kit

by Domina Doll on 10/13/2009

in dvd,erotic

sexlittlepole1 My Sexy Little Pole Professional Dancing Kit

Summer’s over.  And, this is the time of year that I try to find some alternative ways to exercise like join belly dance, Pilates and yoga classes.  But I live way in the country and there are not many interesting fitness classes available in my area.  I could sign up for erotic dance and pole dancing classes in the city but that’s two hours of driving there and back each time.  So, this year I decided to try out My Sexy Little Pole—Professional Dancing Kit from TabuToys.com.

My Sexy Little Pole comes in a long tube with the pole in three sections, hardware to attach it to your ceiling and floor, an instruction book and an instructional DVD.  The pole is simple to assemble and fits ceilings 7 ½ feet – 8 ½ feet.  My ceiling is actually just slightly over 8 ½ feet, so I have the pole extended to the max, yet it is still fairly sturdy.  The pole is constructed out of stainless steel and will hold up to 200 lbs, which I checked and got my partner to climb it.  He’s about 200 lbs.  It says that some shaking and movement on the pole is entirely normal and you do experience that.  They also warn you not to use it while intoxicated, probably a good tip!

As soon as I set it up I wanted to use it right away, so it does inspire you to get active.  I set it up in my office so I can take a break from sedentary sitting at the computer, and start dancing around the pole for a ½ hour each day.  Its pretty fun and I don’t feel like I’m exercising, even though my body feels the effects of it afterwards.

So, the first night after I had “erected” my pole, I put the instructional DVD in.  The girl in the video, Kate, is very fit and looks like she is most likely a professional pole dancer or instructor.  She shows you an entire routine, and then parts of it, so you can learn the basic moves.  The DVD is fairly amateurish, as the sound quality is terrible in some parts with the music blaring so loud you can’t hear her instructions.  Thanks goodness you can watch her and follow her moves, but I wasn’t impressed with this DVD.  It’s too bad they didn’t take the time to make a good quality DVD to go with the pole as otherwise, this would be an awesome product.

You can basically follow what she is doing however, as she shows each moves several times so you can try it as you watch.  Later on in the DVD she shows you some more advanced moves as well.  Most of the moves are simple, and require coordination rather than strength, so anyone could learn these.  I could also do one of the pole slides right away which was encouraging.  A few of the more advanced moves will take practice, and time as I build up the strength in my body and loose a few more pounds.

My Sexy Little Pole is a great pole for beginners and experts who want to try some erotic pole dancing right in their own home.  I have read that it is one of the sturdiest poles out there, next to Carmen Electra’s pole, but it is much cheaper.  I haven’t tried Carmen’s pole so can’t verify which is better, but can recommend My Sexy Little Pole as a good quality, strong pole that will get you started right away, in a matter of minutes.

Erotic Dancing for your Lover

With My Sexy Little Pole, I also got “The Better Sex Guide to Erotic Dancing” DVD from Sinclair Institute so I could learn some other basic moves for erotic dancing.  This DVD doesn’t teach pole dancing, but erotic striptease, however I thought it would teach me a few things that I could apply to pole dancing.

This DVD wasn’t what I was expecting. It begins with a dance instructor (Carmen, but not Carmen Electra) who has a class of “real women” to whom she teaches a few erotic dance moves.  The classes are pretty short and don’t really teach you a lot.  You learn the basic strip-tease “walk”, stretching, floor work (like crawling on the floor) and how to use some props, but nothing really specific as in moves.  Then you watch the “real women” try these out themselves on their “real partners”.  They do their routines, which are fairly amateur, and then the rest is a soft-core sex scene.  I was like—Whoa! Wait a minute!  I thought this was a dance instruction DVD?  Well, it is but mostly it’s about erotic seduction and features soft-core porn.  The one thing I did like about this DVD as it showed women of all shapes and sizes doing an erotic striptease, so if you can body issues, you might be inspired by seeing the plump girl do her routine which was the best one of the bunch.  So, other than that, I wouldn’t say this DVD has any redeeming value and you certainly won’t learn too much erotic dancing from it, so fairly disappointing.

I do recommend My Sexy Little Pole however, and you can get it and “The Better Sex Guide to Erotic Dancing” DVD from TabuToys.com under Swinger’s Lifestyle Products and Erotic DVDs.

The 8th Day

by Domina Doll on 10/09/2009

in movies,porn,porno

the 8th day The 8th Day

The 8th Day (2009)
Studio- Adam & Eve
Length: 265:34 minutes
Director- Ren Savant
Cast: Kayden Kross, Tommy Gunn, Aaron Wilcoxxx, Kylie Ireland, Jandi Lynn, Derrick Pierce, Krissy Leigh, Tyler Knight, Bree Olson, Tori Black, Poppy Morgan, Darryl Hanah, Violet Marcell, Evan Stone, Amber Rayne, Sledge Hammer, Cheyne Collins, Trinity Post, Chris Cannon, Jerry

The 8th Day is the newest “blockbuster” adult film by Adam & Eve.  It is epic, and by that I mean long.  It has two disks for the film itself with over 4 hours of “action” and 9 hours of DVD extras on two other disks.  It has also been getting some great reviews including the coveted XCritic Pick and is currently the “#1 Adult Movie in America”.

This is a porn with plot film.  If you are more of a gonzo guy or girl, you won’t like this film.  However, if your favorite films are Pirates or Fashionsitas, you may get into it.  I happen to love Pirates and Fashionistas, but had a different reaction to this film.

Plot

Modeled after the post-apocalyptic dystopian actions films of the 70s like Mad Max and Tank Girl, The 8th Day features Kayden Kross, a Barbie-doll blonde with fake tits in the lead role of Samantha who awakens from a cryogenic slumber to find the world has been destroyed by technology and is now a nomad’s wasteland with warring tribes of survivors.  Turns out it was her father—a scientist and the guy who put her into suspended animation—that is responsible for destroying the world.  So Sam goes out into the now near deserted LA and wanders around for a long, long, time, occasionally finding deformed humans to have sex with or run away from.

She is then kidnapped, but quickly rescued by scavenger Mel (Amber Rayne) and taken to a desert oasis called Elysium Fields where the inhabitants down technology and follow enigmatic leader, Prince Amir.  However, once Amir–whose real name is Dave–finds out it was her father who destroyed the earth, Sam is strapped to a cross and sacrificed to die in the desert.  The end.

Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?!  While the premise of this film is cool, and the setting, costuming and special-effects make-up stand-out including the awesome tribal tattoos that most of the adult performers sport, the film is slow, long, and the sex scenes mediocre to bad.

8thday cats 300x300 The 8th Day

Sex

Rather than bore you with a scene-by-scene breakdown, I’ll talk about the one scene that really shines starring Amber Rayne with Cheyne Collins and Sledge Hammer.  Amber Rayne who was awarded the 2009 AVN Unsung Starlet of the Year award, is amazing.  Not only is she a believable actress which is hard to find in the adult industry, she has lots of other talents.  She really takes on these two guys who are supposed to “cleanse her” of bad technology from her wanderings in the city.  She is the most enthusiastic and skilled cocksucker I’ve ever seen on screen.  And, while I’m not usually into cock-sucking scenes, she had me riveted.  She chokes and gobbles down two cocks back and forth with an animated “Ha!” each time she goes back down and stuffs these huge cocks down her throat like they were putty.  She also is amazing at anal (something she is known for) and DP as well, and these guys can’t get enough of her.  They are crazed as she orders them to give her their cocks and she drives them wild.

8thday AmberRayne 300x168 The 8th Day

The other scenes are far less fantastic, featuring mutant-sex between Kayden Kross, Tommy Gunn and Aaron Wilcoxxx; a phony domination scene featuring Kylie Ireland and Derrick Pierce as sex slave Jandi Lin watches on; an incredibly annoying girl-girl scene with Bree Olson, Poppy Morgan and Tori Black who howl like sex-starved cats gone mad the entire scene; and a fall from paradise inspired scene with Darryl Hanah as Eve (who looks identical to the real Darryl Hannah),Violet Marcell as the snake and Evan Stone as Adam.  There is also an orgy feast featuring many of the above and a final scene with Kayden, Violet and Evan, none of which are worth mentioning.

I didn’t bother watching the extras, because it took four hours of monotonous “action” to watch the feature, and I only have so much time I can spend on a review of a product that in the end, bored the hell out of me.  This is of course my opinion, and you may enjoy the film like so many other reviewers did.  It is definitely worth it to see Amber Rayne’s scene and I suspect she will win another AVN award for this one.

You can check out the trailers at the 8th Day or purchase the The 8th Day DVD via AdamEve.com.

Pee-Stylin’

PSTYLE 300x300 Pee Stylin’

I was a pretty inventive kid.  When I was three I used to bite my toast into shapes and make my Mom guess what the shapes were.  I’d make her guess and guess and then say, “No, silly, it’s just a piece of toast!”  When I was four I melted down my crayons in hot water and started doing hot wax play before anyone had heard of it, making wax gloves as I dipped my hands in the melted crayons.  I also figured this was a good way to make my Mom tea for breakfast one day as brown crayon when melted looked a lot like tea, just add milk!  She didn’t really like it but appreciated the gesture.  When I was five, I started coloring my Barbie’s faces with gaudy marker make-up and making them bondage clothes out of colored electrical tape.  Go-go boots, gaudy make-up and skin-tight mini-dresses where in then.

When I was eight I decided to make myself a penis.  My brother, then five, had a penis and could pee standing up and I wanted to do that too.  I got my handy electrical tape and an empty toilet paper tube and began to craft my awesome penis.  I put my fingers inside the roll to swish it to about that girth (a saw my brother’s so had a good idea of what size my penis should be, plus a bit bigger!) and began wrapping the electrical tape around the penis leaving two holes (one to connect to me and one to pee out of).  I then melted crayons (skin-color) to cover my penis so it would look somewhat real and waterproof it.  I tested it in the sink and it worked!  Great!  I then got masking tape and taped it to my then hairless crotch.  Voila!  Insta-penis.  I was so proud of my new penis that I invited my brother to come into the bathroom and watch me test it out.

We were both excited as I stood in front of the toilet and began to pee.  A tiny dribble came out and went into the toilet.  The rest leaked through where I had attached it to my crotch and spilled all down my legs.  I cried and my brother consoled me saying it was a pretty good try.

Since then I have had other penis-envy moments, while watching guys write their initials in the snow and having to squat and pee outside.  I had pretty well written off getting my own penis to pee through.  Then Babeland sent me this cool new invention called the P-Style.

The P-Style is made of hard plastic and is non-porous so easy to clean. It is shaped like a long horizontal funnel and is open on top.  You simply place the larger end under your urethra hold it and pee.  Standing up!  And, it works.  I thought it might leak or that I’d spray myself but I didn’t.  It was really easy, just hike up the front of your skirt, or pull down your zipper, insert and pee.

So now I’m happy to say I can pee like I have a penis thanks to Babeland and the P-Style.  I bet my brother would be proud!

  • Tantus Stroker by Undressed Reviews

    • I was really excited when this toy arrived. I really wanted to like it. Really badly. So badly that when I initially hated it, I just assumed that I was doing something wrong because Tantus and its Stroker were obviously above suspicion. On a mission to prove me and my stupid nerve endings wrong, I ask the internet about the Tantus Stroker.

Note: What makes this review is actually the accompanying visual aids, specifically the video of the awkward sound the stroker makes and the picture at the bottom of the review which I absolutely love. You must go see it!

Bend Over Boyfriend

by Domina Doll on 10/01/2009

in anal,education,movies

bend over boyfriend dvd Bend Over Boyfriend

Bend Over Boyfriend (1998)
Studio- Fatale Media
Director- Shar Rednour and Jackie Strano
Cast- Dr. Carol Queen, Robert Morgan, Laura Goodhue, Cupcake Jones, Greg Heiman, Troy, Miss Behavin’

Bend Over Boyfriend came out in 1998 and was the first and only instructional video of its kind to introduce anal pleasure for men, through strap-on sex with a female partner.  Although today the film seems a bit dated, compared to newer films of the same topic, like Tristan Taormino’s “Expert Guides”, at the time of its launch the film was groundbreaking and has remained one of the best-selling videos on this topic of all time.

While I have read some praise for the film, I have also read some criticism including that it is “too instructional”, “not erotic”, and that it has an “infomercial quality and the officious attention to every detail”.  This makes me wonder what people think an instructional film is.  I mean really.  I don’t expect instructional films about sex to be erotic, or to lack instruction.  I want them to teach me something in the simplest way possible.  I want the people presenting the topic—in this case Dr. Carol Queen and Robert Morgan—to be enthusiastic, knowledgeable and experienced, and to provide details, even if they are not always relevant to me.  I don’t necessarily want to be entertained or aroused by the content, or expect it to get an Academy Award.  I want to learn something new.  If I wanted to just watch people fuck, I’d rent a porno.

Now, I’ll admit that academics are often a bit dry.  After all, Carol Queen is not an actor, but an educator, although she does know and present her topic better than any actor could.  And, while she does recommend products at the end of the film and where to buy them (read: resources), I think it is certainly useful if the general public doesn’t have a clue about anal dildos or strap-ons, which was certainly the case back in 1998.  And, let’s remember that sex shops were not always as sex-positive or as helpful with knowledgeable staff as they are today.

I think Bend Over Boyfriend is a great film and it is easy to see why it has had such longevity.  Carol and Robert are passionate about their topic and very experienced.  They talk about anatomy, prostate pleasure and health, relaxation and massage, safe sex, arousal, gender-bending, and the best tools for anal stimulation (including mouth, tongue and fingers!).  After this ten minute intro, they show you enthusiastically how it is done (and while this is probably not erotic for the viewer, I bet it was for them).  The film also includes two other male/female couples that demonstrate different scenarios, variations of anal pleasure and sexual positions.  So Bend Over Boyfriend was an excellent guide when it first came out, and today I believe it still has information that is valuable to share, especially for couples seeking to explore anal sex for men and gender-bending for the first time.

Thank you to Babeland for this trip down memory lane.  Be sure to check out Bend Over Boyfriend and all the other excellent instructional films they have in their store as well as their Bend Over Boyfriend Strap-on Kit.

Perfect Platinum Vibrating Egg

by Domina Doll on 10/01/2009

in sex toys,sextoys

perfect platinum Perfect Platinum Vibrating Egg

My Pleasure has a new vibrator out that is making a buzz in more ways than one!  It is the new Perfect Platinum Vibrating Egg, available exclusively at My Pleasure.  First off, I want to tell you I am not usually a fan of vibrating eggs.  There are girls who like rockets, and girls who like eggs and bullets and I’m a Rocket Girl!  But, I have to say that I am impressed with the Perfect Platinum vibe.  It rocks!

It has a different design than other egg vibes I have tried in the past that make it out shine the rest.  First of all, it has a hollowed-out cup that snuggles around your clit, so the vibrations surround it.  Although every woman is different, most women don’t like direct stimulation of the clit, but prefer vibration on one side or the other.  This is a known “factoid” that as lesbian friend told me when giving cunnilingus, that you want to tickle the upper right side of the clit (in the 9 o’clock position) as this is where more women are most sensitive.  I have tried this on myself as well as my female lovers and found it to be true for the most part.

Second, this vibe has powerful vibrations.  Seriously intense.  With 10 different settings from mild to extreme, including various pulsations, this vibe has your clit covered.  It takes 6 AA batteries, which would account for the strength of the vibrations.  Just imagine!  I even liked the pulsing settings, and I’m usually a steady vibration girl on max, but I knew right away, even on the lowest setting that this vibe was going to rock my socks off.  The Perfect Platinum is an orgasmatron!

Finally, the settings are controlled via the attached control featuring an on/off switch, and two up/down arrows, so it is easy to scroll through the various settings back and forth to find the one you are looking for, or change variations.  The control also lights up to tell you which setting you are on from 1-10, which is useful, so you can go back to the ones you like best.

Although I’m still a rocket girl, this toy has found a place in my top drawer!

So if you are looking for the ultimate clitoral egg vibe, the Perfect Platinum Vibrating Egg is the best I’ve tried.  Pick yours up exclusively at My Pleasure.com

Alumina Revolve Dildo

by Domina Doll on 09/24/2009

in sex toys,sextoys

alumina Alumina Revolve Dildo

The Alumina Revolve Dildo is a fantastic idea.  What is it?  Well, it is a double-ended dildo made from aeronautical-grade aluminum that is anodized so it will not corrode or wear.  These cool dildos screw apart in the middle so you can attach either end to another dildo in the same collection to interchange them and make a new toy.  This line comes from Tantus, leaders in silicone sex toy products.  According to them, “Aluminum is the most abundant metal in Earth’s crust, is recyclable and safe… All Tantus products are hand-made… using green manufacturing processes in the USA.”  The complete Alumina line, like their silicone dildos are “non-porous, easy to clean and it is earth friendly.”

Aluminum (like ceramic) is the new glass!  Like glass sex toys, aluminum is hard, so good for G-spotting, and heats up or cools well for temperature play.  The Alumina Revolve is designed for G-spot play with a large bulb on one end and a smaller beaded shaft on the other, measuring 8 inches long and 1.25 inches wide.  Unlike steel sex toys, aluminum is much lighter and ergonomically shaped, so easier on the old wrists if you really want to give it a work-out.

The Revolve feels great against the skin, very cool and thrilling.  The smooth texture glides easily in with very little lubrication, and the bulbous end is perfect for G-spot stimulation.  I found this toy easy to use for that purpose and to pump my G-spot to blissful ejaculations!  Please remember that a sex toy doesn’t have to be inserted far for the G-spot (only 1-2 inches) and that rather that deep thrusting, a pumping/ rubbing action is more effective until it becomes enlarged.  Even then, you don’t want to thrust deeply, passing the G-spot, but into the G-spot.  It seems to be hard for some women to figure this out, but you will know when you are getting it right!

Not only are these dildos practical, but they are very pretty as well.  They come in their own, sleek cardboard storage box and look like fancy Christmas ornaments that you could hang on your tree, all shiny-shiny!  This gives you an excuse to buy the whole set and mix and match.  It is a tradition in our house to give a Christmas ornament each year on top of a present.  So you could make naughty Xmas ornaments out of these to give to your lover(s).  Very cute!

Get your Alumina Revolve Dildo from the friendly folks at AdamEve.com!
