Toys, Toys, Toys, (BDSM Toy Review)

Ok I got two new toyish items in today, with good review on one and a somewhat mixed review on the other. But for as inexpensive as they were, you really can't complain to much and you have to adhere to the old adage of 'you get what you pay for." And truthfully I never though of Amazon selling these sorts of things anyways, and I general procure online from either Subshop or JT's. But for the price I figured I couldn't really lost much but some time and a bit of change.

But for what its worth, here goes. First up on the block. This was billed as a Genuine Leather Riding Crop. And oddly enough thats what the tag says its made out of too. That and being made in India.

First impressions, looks m ore like a quirt you'd use to hit elephants with while riding on a howdah.  And truthfully the looks on this thing are somewhat offputting.  It may be leather, I can't tell underneath all the black spraypaint. And the braids on it go from tight braids at the handle, somewhat large and loose at the center to tight and narrow towards the tip. The whole thing sfeels liek there is something like a wire of something on the inside of it too to help it keep its shape.

Outside of the tip, which is very poorly made, so is the loop handle by the way, I think the $5 I paid for this was a bit overpriced.  I myself expect crops to be rigid and sturdy while being flexible and easy to use. This one though, while it is extremely flexible, and it does make a nice whirring sound when it swishes through the air, is perhaps to flexible. I'm almost afraid that any sort of normal to semi strenuous use and the whole thing is going to fall apart on me.

I'll have to test it a little more when chel gets here, just for...experimental purposes..yeah..sounds good enough like a plausible reason...but my initial impression is that this is for the most part more of a prop than anything else.  Still for five buck, really can't complain to much. But I'd recommend against buying this if you're in any sort of serious play.

Next up though, and I really like this item, is the Wrist and Ankle Restraint Bar. Also from Amazon but a little bit more expensive. But not to much.

Now this one is of the nylon and velcro variety of restraints. Not escape proof by any means, but truthfully if the one you're putting int his wants to escape either you aren't doing somethign right or you just aint got what it takes to make them stay put by sheer force of your awesomeness and willpower alone....ok that was a bit much. Still though.

The nylon itself is pretty sturdy actually, and the two metal strips that are inside of the nylon bar part are pretty strong. Enough to keep in place, and have a lot of durability and longevity. Which is a good thing.

So nylon and velcro cuffs aren't the most hardcore. I do have metal restraints if I want to use them, but they're standalone types and not really hooked up to anything but themselves. Still are fun in their own right thougha dn there is just something about seeing that cool black metal on bare skin. oooooh.

What advantage this does have is the positions that people can be put into while in this set is what makes this item a keeper and one that I may have to pick up complimentary items for. Aside from what is pictured above. This is a perfect item for a semi hogtie-esque position and even an enforced ass up int he air doggy style type of position. On their knees, , head down, wrists locked to their ankles, ass in the air legs spread open type of thing. I can quite easily think of all sorts of horribly perverted and depraved things to do to someone in that position. For quite a lot fo time too.

It's definately not  for anything hardcore or extreme. Not a high ened item for heavy players so to speak. But it gets the job done and its quick and easy, portable and well built enough to be fun. And for $16.00, this is definately not anything to complain about pricewise either. Good price, good product and loads of fun. If you want something hard and metal taht your slave/toy can't escape from, this probably aint a good buy. But if its just for amusement and fun purposes outside of everything else you do, you really can't go wrong with this.

There is jsut so much potential in this item. Could it be better, probably. Wrist cuffs could use resizing after all. But then again I've made and bought other sets of metal on metal that could facilitate the same thing, but it's not always just about lockign someone down so they can't escape while you torment them. True thats loads of fun, but sometimes its just about the amusement and the fun you can have. Doesn't always have to be full on serious and hardcore after all.

First Package (Toy Review)

Well the very first package has arrived. Unfortunately the present for my dad wasn’t in the box, and in fact nothing I’d really want him to see actually.  I’m sure he actually has quite a bit of an idea, he has seen the bamboo cane that I have hanging on my wall in my bedroom after all, and he’s not an idiot. I think its more of a situation of not wanting to know truthfully.

But what the package did contain was the first of toy shipments I ordered a while ago. Gotta use credit card for something might as well use it for stuff that amuses me.  Still got two new items coming but the first item was quite interesting.

Fun Fun Fun

 These are the Door Jam Cuffs.  Oddly enough I got them at Amazon. Who knew they sold sex toys and bondage gear. But they do. Some of it looks really good quality. Not as good as say JT’s Stockroom (which shocked me cause I didnt think about how close they were when I ordered from them and got surprised by next day delivery) but well enough.

These little items are for all those of us who really dont want to be putting eyehooks and bolts in the walls or ceiling, or simply just want portability with stuff we bind up the people we’re going to torment into subspace.

With Door Jam Cuffs, you just toss the anchors over the top of the door, close the door and you can hang a lucky slave in place and whip, tease and torment them into little quivering masses of red striped and welted flesh.

Muahaha.

Unfortunately, despite what the picture looks like, the cuffs arent detachable. Which is somewhat limiting but hey you never know, might be able to work somethign out, and truthfully, looking at how they are constructed, I can actually very easily make my own with a few wooden dowels, straps and some hardware and be able to hook up whatever (in addition to whoever) that I want to.

On another note, been talking to chel a lot lately. Well when she has her phone turned on and answers her text messages anyways. Looks like she’ll be coming down to see a friend in Venice beach some time around the first of the year, and possibly job hunting while she is here, will show her around up here too to see if she likes the area as she is very interested in moving up to this area. That will be a lot of fun.

Its amazing how just little things jsut seem to remind me of how special she is and always has been to me. Would love having her out here. But as always, I’ve learned to jsut take things as they come. If she does move down here, which actually I think would be the best for her considering certain situations. Might even introduce her to Kitten and go out to the Lair. Be interesting.

Ellie been worrying me and bothering  me lately though too. With everything been going on with her, she’s been getting really down and negative about everything and it bothers me. But it is good that she is getting back with some of her friends. Might get her mind off things and make her feel a little better.  So much has happened that I worry about her a lot. Even with my schedule of work and school not leaving me much time as I’d like. Not really sure what to do. Especially since the weather has gotten her sick a lot too.

Rainy Day Thoughts, With Toys

I despise rain. Moreso when I have to be out in it for over eight hours at a time with very few opportunities to get under cover and dry off even a little bit. But I did manage to find a few new ways to re-affirm to people that I’m not all there in the head (wearing a big yellow raincoat and telling people I was a Twinkie cause I was yellow on the outside and white on the inside) or just being aggravatingly annoying to them by standing in torrential rains and cheerfully wishing them a happy monday. They hate that.

Keanu Reeves by the way is a lot taller than I thought he would be. SCruffier too. Long hair and a long black beard. Not what Iw as expecting at all.

But during the few moments of reprieve I got I was able to think about a few things here and there. Thinking about the possibilities for the future in the home owners market, which I may have to look once again into the VA loan program. I served long enough they can give me a cheap loan damn it!

There are enough cheap and open places just in my own neighborhood that it shouldn’t be to much of a problem. The main problem I think will be the downpayment because the jackasses at the banks spent years giving loans out to people who they probably shouldnt have (at government insistance unfortunately) so the last time I was going to buy a place, they wanted a 10k down payment on a 30k place just because of all the other people who they gave money to that couldn’t pay.

Bleh

But on to a more interesting and fun topic..TOYS!

I was shopping around, window shopping really, at Extreme Restrains.  A rather neat little toyshop that while it looks a bit pricey, does look like it has some very high quality items to torment people with. One of the first things that I came across was the “Steel Impaler Tower”.  Now this really looks like a neat little torture device that I could so see putting a few girls into and keeping them in it for a while.

  Per the description: “Imagine having your partner locked inside this impaler tower. As you circle them, you admirably gaze at their locked in body. Their arms are bound behind them and their legs are locked into a folded position. You gently lean down and make sure that the steel dildo rod is firmly placed inside of them. Now when they move the dildo rod will move with them. Depending upon their angle and the height you place the dildo rod you can have it inside of a wet, hot pussy or an awaiting anus. The choice is yours. This is a high quality steel bondage device designed to offer a pleasurable experience for both partners”

Fun fun fun. Even if it is $375.00 it doesn’t look to bad. And actually looking at how its put together, as well as a few other items in their dungeon furniture line, Some of this could be very easy to replicate and probably a lot cheaper too. It would not be the first time that I have built a nasty little torture device to use on unsuspecting little subs and slaves.

The Back Stockade actually looks even easier to replicate should I have the desire too.  That would actually be a hell of a lot easier to build than most types of dungeon devices. Cheaper too if I were to use jsut a sturdy solid wood rather than metal too. But then agaoin I do like the look and feel of steel. It jsut seems more dungeony…is that a word…it is now.

And now for something completely different:

Now lets be honest here, this is fucking hot. A helpless girl strung up, stripped down and jsut waiting for her torment to begin. With the impliment to be used in that torment clenched so deliciously between her teeth. Now that is a nice image.

Muahaha
