When I found the Leather Hogtie on SexToy.Com I imagined using them with my Axovus Wrist Cuffs and matching Ankle Cuffs. I imagined a great way to tie someone up and fuck them. I imagined that was what I would be doing with this hogtie strap, but I was wrong. It was completely my fault that I was wrong, but I was wrong.

First, a little of the hogtie device itself. It’s really a very basic restraint device. It’s an O-ring with four strips of leather attached that have scissor snaps attached to them, making it so you can attach the hogtie device to four other things. It’s intended to be attached to four cuffs: two wrist, two ankle, to produce the hogtie position.

According to Wikipedia, Hogtie is “a method of tying the limbs together, rendering the subject immobile and helpless. Originally, it was applied to pigs (hence the name) and other young four-legged animals. In more recent years, the term has been applied to ways of restraining humans as well.” It can be accompanied by a gag or blindfold to enhance the helplessness of the situation, and the bottom could be left alone with little chance to escape.

The hogtie position is predicament bondage, not sex bondage like I was originally thinking. The position is just not good at all for sex, and I’m honestly not sure why I originally thought it was. I was just misguided or assumed it would lend itself to sex without really thinking about it.

I suppose for some sex would work in this position, depending on how wide you can spread your legs, but that would have to be almost all the way to get a comfortable position, so unless you’re extremely flexible it probably won’t work. Oral sex is possible in this position, however, and the bottom could be rolled on their side for cock play (should the bottom be male) or possibly fingering for the female, but no full on sex because it’s difficult to get at any orifices.

So, the reason why I got this device has failed me. If you are wanting a good device for sex bondage, this is not it.

However, it’s great for it’s original purpose: predicament bondage. It’s difficult to get out of while also being extremely simple and not terribly uncomfortable. How comfortable it is also depends highly on how flexible you are, but I’m not terribly flexible and it was pretty comfy for me.

Overall, if you want a fun and easy way to bind your partner, or be bound by your partner, I’d highly recommend it, assuming you have cuffs to clip it to (though they also have a Leather Hogtie with Four Rings which is meant for rope bondage play). If you are wanting something for sex, like I was, this is not for you.

You can find the Leather Hogtie along with other BDSM and Fetish Toys and sex toys of every flavor on SexToy.Com.

Onyx and I both have back pain, which we often help each other with by massaging the other. His is generally located in his upper-back, while mine is in my lower-back, though sometimes we inadvertently swap symptoms through no design of our own. We sometimes even use the Hitachi as a back massager (unheard of, I know) to allieviate these symptoms.

When I had the opportunity to receive the Amazing Hot Heart Massager from Pink Cherry I jumped at the chance. Anything that makes massaging easier for the massager or better for the massagee was something I definitely at least wanted to try.

The massage heart also comes with a little packet of massage oil, so you don’t have to buy anything else for your first few massages with it. The massage oil was a citrus scent and very pleasant. The heart itself has a vinyl casing with pink liquid inside, which, according to the packaging, is non-toxic. There is a little metal disk floating around in the pink liquid of the heart which you are supposed to bend to activate the heat up the heart.

I bent the metal disk and immediately the pink liquid began to crystallize and heat up. The instructions say that you should knead the crystals to soften them while it heats up. The Hot Heart Massager can get up to 129 degrees Fahrenheit (54 Celsius)! Once it’s fully crystallized and heated up it slowly cools down. If you place a thin towel over it, according to the instructions, you can keep the massager from cooling as quickly.

Next: the use. First, Onyx used it on my back. He drizzled some of the massage oil that came with it and then began massaging and kneading my back using the massager. It felt wonderful. I especially liked pressure with the hot heart as that relaxed me the most. The scent of the massage oil coupled with the relaxing heat and massage was absolutely heavenly. The only negative was occasionally the edges of the heart would scrape against my skin, but they seem to curl up slightly to the front of the massager, so turning it over alleviated that for the most part.

Once I had gotten a good rub down we switched places. I drizzled some massage oil onto Onyx’s back and went to work. I found that working with the massager was very easy, and not at all awkward. The shape of it actually lent itself to holding, a finger could easily rest in the top v of the heart shape, and it was very easy to slide around his back, both softly and pressing harder. The entire heart got coated with massage oil, and it was slippery enough to slide around his back but not so slippery that I couldn’t hold on to it, partially I think because of the seam on the edge of the heart.

Once I had given Onyx a good rub down, as the heart cooled down even further, I lay down and just let the heart rest against my lower back, right where I have the most trouble. Even just sitting there I could feel my back relaxing due to the heat.

The Amazing Hot Heart Massager is not just a one time use massager, either. The instructions for use and re-use are on the back of the heart itself, which means you don’t have to worry about keeping an instruction booklet or the original packaging in order to re-use it.

To re-use you simply put the hardened massager into a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes until all the crystals are gone and the massager is back to it’s original pink liquid state. The only thing I’ve noticed while boiling is that the pink color on the vinyl gets scratched a bit, but that’s neither here nor there. Once the massager is liquidy again you let it cool to room temperature, which very slowly restores the crystals as it cools, and then it’s time for another heated massage. You can do this an unlimited amount of times, according to the packaging.

Since it’s easily reusable and such an easy addition to normal massage with advantages for both the massager and massagee I know I’m going to be using this many more times in the future. Another great feature of the massager is that it’s fairly inexpensive, and for something that can be used as many times as you’d like (assuming it doesn’t get punctured or otherwise destroyed) that’s a great deal!
