Submissive Journal Prompt #30

How do you define the terms SSC and RACK? Which do you ascribe to? Why or why not?

I define them as the definitions that are widely known:

Safe Sane and Consensual

Risk-Aware Consensual Kink

I ascribe to Safe, Sane and Consensual only because when I’m getting my kink on, I don’t want to take that 50% chance of risk where I could get seriously hurt (or even killed)

I know it’s all about trust and all that fun stuff, but I rather come away marked, but still breathing and no trips to the ER are needed, Because really, who wants to explain to an ER tech. that you like tying up your girlfriend?

Sure, some people are creative in the story department, but I rather not be going to the hospital because something I enjoy went horribly wrong.

That’s just my $0.02

 

[Review] Pearl Passion Please

SIZE/SHAPE

Color: Purple

Length: 6″

Insertable length: 2 3/4″

Circumference:3 3/4″

Diameter:1 1/8″

Clitoral attachment shape: Nubby/bubble-like

Weight: 3.4 oz

There are 5 indents along the shaft on both sides of the toy, I did not feel them upon insertion or use. There’s also a seam in the middle of the toy. It was not noticeable by me in use, but you can definite feel a seam if you run your fingers over the toy. If you are ‘seam sensitive’ I might advise to passing this one up.

CONTROLS/FUNCTIONS

Push button, two speeds. Push button ‘clicks’ to cycle through the speeds, might be a little loud to some when trying to be discreet. The toy has no immediate shutoff (such as holding the button down for a certain amount of time) The toy is marked to be waterproof, but I have not tested it in the shower/bath.

Functions:

Vibrating

Special Features:

• Multispeed
• Travel-Friendly
• Waterproof

Control type:

Push button

Powered By:

AA x1

MATERIAL

TPR/Plastic. The TPR has some squish/flex to it and was very comfortable to use. Would be great for a beginner’s toy or for a experienced user who doesn’t need a lot of power to get off and also prefers smaller toys.

Food-grade material / Hypo-allergenic / Latex free / Phthalates free

CARE & FEEDING

The entirety of the insertable length of the toy including the clit attachment is TPR. It is less porous than cyberskin but more porous than silicone, if you plan to share this toy, I recommend condom use. TPR toys cannot be disinfected with boiling water. You can wash them with warm water and toy cleaner or mild soap.

Lubricants

Silicone-based or water-based

The plastic bottom half the toy can be wiped down with a toy wipe if it gets gunky with lube or other bodily fluids, I would not recommend putting it underwater as the push button may soak up water behind it and thus would get the battery compartment wet and we don’t want that!

Intensity: Low 2 vrooms High 3 vrooms

Noise Level: 2 bees, I turned it on, left the room shutting the door behind me, did not hear it. Walked into the bathroom (in which shares a wall with my room) still did not hear. Took a walk down the hall, silence.

However, someone in the same room as you would able to hear this toy no problem, so unless you want them to hear the toy, I’d recommend using this toy when you’re free from earshot.

PACKAGING

The toy came packaged in a simple plastic clamshell case. It can be used to store the toy, as it can and will become a lint magnet if you leave it out on it’s own. I recommend a toy pouch if you do not want to store the toy in its original casing.

OVERALL RATING/COMMENTS

I believe this toy could have been a lot better if it just had ONE MORE speed. The first ‘low’ speed did not do much at all for me, and I had to thrust with it until my wrist was aching and no-one wants to put THAT much work into getting off, right? The second speed was better, however, a third, intenser speed would have gotten me off without much effort on my part. I loved the size/shape of the toy as I’m more comfortable with smaller toys in my body. The nub/bubble-like clit attachment was comfortable and did not feel like I was getting prodded.

A small imperfection in the toy though I found a dent in the shaft. Not sure if this was a manufacturing error, but it might cause some concern for those who share their toys with those whom they are not fluid-bonded with. To stay on the safe side, just throw a condom over the toy when sharing.

I give this toy 3 out of 5 paws, due to the low intensity and the small flaw in the shaft.

Submissive Journal Prompt #28

Have you ever experienced sub drop? How do you and your owner deal with it?

Fortunately, I haven’t yet.

I do however experience drops in my mood due to Seasonal Affective Disorder and anxiety. Master and I power through it together. She’s always there to lend an ear when I need it and gives me encouragement.

Without her, I’d probably end up in bed all day and assume being a depressed bump on a log.

Master gives me that encouragement to get up and power through the drops in my mood and I couldn’t be thankful enough for that.

I’d give up completely otherwise.

 

[Book Review] Best Lesbian Erotica 2011

*Reviewer’s Note: I am reviewing this from the Kindle eBook format, print copy may have differences*

Best Lesbian Erotica 2011 is a collection of 20 stories spanning  from a vast array of authors selected by Lea DeLaria and edited by Kathleen Warnock. The book includes a great introduction by Kathleen and a hilarious foreword written by Lea, who picks up a girl who sobs every time she had an orgasm and claims she possibly cannot be gay.The list of stories is as follows:

The Stripper & the Butch Wannabe by Renée Strider

Ladies’ Coupe by Anamika

My Precious Whore by Xan West

The Third Kiss by Kiki DeLovely

The Garden of Earthly Delights by Betty Blue

A Quick Fuck In A Shadowed Corner by Sinclair Sexsmith

Witch by Kristy Logan

Art School Confidential by Kenzie Mathews

Painted Nails and Puppy Dog Tails by Giselle Renarde

Carried Away In Santa Fé by Charlotte Dare

Walk Like A Man by D. L. King

Signs by Theda Hudson

Most Valuable Player by Nairne Holtz

Tree Hugger by Catherine Lundoff

Little Lou by Gala Fur, translated by Noël Burch

Ann’s Adrenaline Rush  by Sarah Ellen

Ice by Rachel Charman

The Sweet Tooth Never Fades by Erica Gimpelevich

The Number 91 by Heidi Champs

Snapshot by A. D. R. Forte

I really enjoyed the kink aspects of My Precious Whore. While it’s not the kind of kink play I would personally engage in, I always appreciate a good kinky story.

Ladies’ Coupe had me going, “OH SNAP! she totally just banged the perp.” and it actually made me laugh!

Little Lou also had that kinkiness that I crave. While I’m not one for face slapping, I’ll take spanking any day.

Ice was quite interesting. Hilarious even, to read the part where the character telling the story was making out with/fucking her girl-whom-was-skipping-town’s ice sculpture.

The Sweet Tooth Never Fades taught me that if the mood strikes, well, you can go ahead and fuck in a candy factory. Just watch out for those security cameras. Also, don’t fuck your recent ex.

 Overall, I was very pleased with this collection. I enjoyed all twenty of the stories and came away with fantastic visuals. Looking forward to getting my paws on Best Lesbian Erotica 2012. :)

5 out of 5 purrs, do keep it up the wonderful minds that combine to give us these great books!!

Silence..

So sorry about the silence of this blog and my silence on Twitter.

I’ve been focused on other projects and of course, real life.

Real life takes priority over my ‘netz presence.

I have taken down my review blog due to financial constraints and will from now on merge all my reviews here.

Unfortunately, I did not save any of my reviews so any of my reviews posted off-site on Eden and for Babeland are now gone.

Sucky, but I hope noone will hold that against me.

I should have some stuff to review in the coming days as I’m up for a free assignment tomorrow and I have about $25 worth of points I can cash in.

I want to thank everyone who’s been following even though I’m quiet.

It’s much appreciated! :)
