Review: Domenico Pasties – Leopard/Gold Hearts

I think pasties are extraordinarily fun and sexy and that combined with my leopard print addiction made me try out these Domenico Heart Pasties in leopard and gold. Pasties can be used in lieu of a bra if you have small enough breasts and you want nipple coverage but don’t want bra straps, though that is not the reason I got them. They can also be worn under a sheer shirt or during a strip-tease for a little extra sexy treat for your lover(s).
Each pack comes with: two sets of pasties, which can be worn together or mix-and-matched; little tester shapes “mini-nippies” (mine were stars) to test how your skin reacts to the adhesive used on the pasties; and four nipple shields, basically little circles meant to go over your nipples (one for each of the pasties included) to keep the adhesive from sticking to them. The pasties are designed to be worn once, but the packaging says it’s possible to re-use them if you take measures to.
Since nipples and aureoles come in a variety of sizes and shapes these actually come in both large or small sizes. I relieved the large, as the small is best for A and B cup breasts and the large is best for C and above, although that could also depend on your aureole and how much coverage you want in general. On the manufacturer’s website I found an actual-size image which can be printed and cut out to see which size would be right for you (image included below, click for full size).
The adhesive on the pasties is a hypo-allergenic medical adhesive, and even my girlfriend who has very adhesive-sensitive skin–seriously she can’t wear regular band-aids–was able to wear these without issue. These are designed to be worn for six to eight hours max and are made to withstand whatever it is you’re doing be it dancing, sweating, sexing, anything. These did stay on very well for the few hours I was wearing them, though I wasn’t able to keep them on for too long because we were eager to get to what was under them.
Taking them off was a little painful, as is to be expected, but with the included nipple shields at least your nipples are safe from the sting of ripping the adhesive off. If you’re in to pain play having these taken off by a lover could be part of foreplay or breast play if done correctly.
You can find the Domenico Heart Pasties in large or small along with the biggest selection of dildos and sex toys of every flavor online at SexToy.Com.

Dildo Review: Tantus Curve

Curve is the latest beautiful toy from the wonderful toy maker Tantus. Why are they wonderful, you ask? Well, not only were they a generous sponsor of my Birthday Giveaway but they make products which are both gorgeous and functional and always use 100% medical-grade silicone, one of the safest materials for sex toys to be made of.
I don’t think I’ve met a Tantus product I haven’t liked, though I’m more than willing to test that theory and try every toy they make. You know, for the sake of science.
When I first saw Curve I was actually a little iffy on it, it’s not as sleek and smooth looking as many of the other Tantus products, I thought the curve of it actually looked kind of awkward and wasn’t appealing to me until I felt it inside of me.
My opinion of it changed vastly once I felt that curve hitting against my g-spot just about perfectly with just a slight amount of lube to make it slide in just right. Tantus silicone is always silky smooth and only needs a little bit of lube to work perfectly, just remember to never use silicone lube with a silicone toy as a chemical reaction can occur and ruin the toy.
One side of Curve has a slight ripple molded into it as you can see in the image above. It isn’t as noticeable while inserted as more pronounced bumps and ridges usually are but it definitely adds to the general feeling of the toy. Curve doesn’t need extreme texture to bring extreme pleasure as the shape of it takes care of that on it’s own.
The other new and improved feature of Curve is the base. Instead of the usual circular shape Curve has a teardrop-shaped base that is also thicker than regular Tantus bases. According to Tantus this is the first of many new toys with this larger base.
The new base is excellent for harnesses with any size o-ring and the teardrop shape is extremely comfortable. Both my girlfriend and I agree Curve is now our favorite strap-on dildo to date, and coming from two sex toy reviewers that’s saying something!
A big huge thanks to Tantus for sending me Curve to review!

Review: Lust Cosmetics Massage Oil

Lust Cosmetics was one of the sponsors of my Birthday Blowout Giveaway and was nice enough to send me a few birthday presents as well! My favorite of the products she sent is the Lust for Love Extra Virgin Natural Oil which is a blend of six oils with a lovely scent making a great massage oil.
All three of us have back pain quite often, sometimes daily, so we give each other a lot of back rubs and between us we all have used a lot of massage oils. Personally, this one has been my favorite that I can remember. It has a soft floral scent that is not overpowering and just adds a bit of romance to the massage.
It’s in a pump-bottle so it is super easy to squirt out onto a back and distribute evenly as the squirts can be far apart (Marla says it feels like someone shooting a load on her back when I do it quickly). You can use a little for specific areas or a lot for the entire back and have it go exactly where you want it with the pump-bottle. We’ve used at least half of our 1.01 oz bottle already.
The oil itself is smooth and silky and doesn’t leave your back or hands feeling greasy or gross like some other massage oils. It makes massage easy to do with minimal effort so it is easier on the massager and feels grand for the massagee. The oil soaks partially into the skin after massaging like any good massage oil will do, leaving the skin healthy-looking and smooth.
The only negative to the oil is that it has parabens in it, which are chemicals I’m trying to avoid. Whether or not parabens are bad is highly debated and I’m extremely sad because if it weren’t for the parabens it would be my favorite massage oil. Period. For those not concerned about ingredients I would recommend Lust Cosmetics Massage Oil. For those of you who avoid parabens you can always try Intimate Organics Massage Oil.

BDSM Toy Review: Twisted Love Ties
Written by Jul 19, 2009, 15:55
No Comment • Related Topics: 4 Lotuses - Very Good, Restraints, Sportsheets, Text Reviews

When I first received the Twisted Love Ties from Sportsheets I was a little wary of them. The first thought I had about them was that they remind me of large bread ties, Marla had the same reaction. I could already see the convenient use of them as a fast light bondage item which would be rather versatile, so I was also excited to try them.
The Twisted Love Ties easily slip around wrists or ankles, and can be wound around multiple times or crossed over themselves, attached to themselves or to other objects, all sorts of combinations. They basically feel like foam wrapped around a bendable spine with a fabric cover.
They seemed overly stiff at first and while they were somewhat easy to mold they just didn’t seem like they would be that comfortable. I experimented with them right away and wasn’t too impressed so didn’t end up actually using them during play until quite some time later.
Every time I used the ties by themselves they were rather uncomfortable. Although they bend rather easily by hand they are not easily bent when already around a wrist or ankle, which made it difficult to have them on for long periods of time as moving the limbs around at all wasn’t easy. Although the idea of bondage is to restrain movement the bottom generally tends to squirm and wiggle within the bonds, the ties were too difficult to put perfectly around to restrict movement within the ties and were too uncomfortable to use on their own.
Where the Twisted Love Ties really shine, however, is when coupled with a hard object, specifically I used them with a spreader bar. I think they work so well combined with a hard object because the hardness of the spreader bar makes the slight stiffness of the ties feel soft in comparison. They slipped easily through the loops on the end of both spreader bars I tried them with, and were great for using the spreader bar on knees specifically as well as ankles.
While I wasn’t impressed with the ties by themselves I know I will be using them over and over again with my spreader bars. All three of us are impressed at how well they work.
Much thanks to Sportsheets for letting me review their Twisted Love Ties!

BDSM Toy Review: Siren Red 36-inch Spreader Bar
Written by Jul 4, 2009, 15:20
No Comment • Related Topics: 4 Lotuses - Very Good, Other, Restraints, Text Reviews

I have been fascinated with spreader bars for quite some time and even had the luck to review one a couple of months ago and ever since I’ve been wanting to try more. Just as not all sex toys are created equal not all BDSM products are created equal so I love to try as many variations of similar products as possible when I like the design or idea of a toy.
The idea of being bound to a spreader bar, being helpless and unable to close my legs or keep my cunt and ass from being teased and played with (or doing the same to someone else) is highly appealing and arousing. Because I’m a larger woman with quite a bit of thigh on me, however, it was somewhat easy to keep my thighs together and not be as exposed when using the other spreader bar, and the same thing happened with this one when used around my ankles. I’ve heard this complaint from a number of people, and I have a solution to it below.
We tried it first with the Axovus ankle cuffs connected to either side of the bar which was definitely sexy and made it difficult to move around too much but wasn’t as exposing or immobilizing as I had always imagined a spreader bar would be. Because of the way the cuffs attached to the spreader bar, with carabiner snap hooks, I could close my feet together closer than the 36 inches the bar itself is. Don’t get me wrong, it was definitely hot, but it lacked something as I could move my ankles around much more than I wanted to be able to.
After watching the porn movie Champion I was struck with a brilliant idea due to something that happened during my favorite scene: a cane was used as a spreader bar tied not around the ankles but around the knees. This looked sexy and sounded like a brilliant idea that I knew I had to try!
Neither of us are particularly skilled with rope so the next time we used the spreader bar we also used an item I had recently received from Sportsheets, the Twisted Love Ties. They are sort of like giant twist-ties that hold together surprisingly well and slipped easily through the loop on the end of the spreader bar.
We wound the Twisted Ties right above each of my knees on either end of the spreader bar and that worked much better than using the spreader bar on my ankles, it forced me to keep my knees spread wide so all of my nether regions were on display and it was an easy bar to hold on to while fucking me. It was pretty delightful, and definitely my favorite use of a spreader bar thus far. I know that we are going to use it and the other spreader bar I have over and over.
The only negative about the bar is that when using it on my knees the 36 inch length was actually a little long, it forced my hips a little too widely apart to the point of discomfort after about ten or fifteen minutes. Because of this I’m interested in trying the 24 inch spreader bar from the same company as I think that would be a little more comfortable.
You can find the 36 inch Spreader Bar in Siren Red, Baby Pink and Candy Purple or the 24 inch in Siren Red, Baby Pink and Candy Purple, along with other Bondage and BDSM products and sex toys of every flavor on SexToy.Com.

Review: Liberator Fascinator Throe – Microfiber
Written by Jul 3, 2009, 15:06
No Comment • Related Topics: 5 Lotuses - Exceptional, Liberator, Sex Furniture & Position Aids, Text Reviews
If you’ve ever had to sleep in the wet spot you already know the usefulness of having something like the Fascinator Throe.
The Throe is designed to be put down to catch any juices, lube, cream, food, wax, or anything else that you wouldn’t want getting on your sheets and creating a mess. It fits easily over a good portion of any bed (or the entirety of our futon) and can easily be pushed aside to get rid of the wet spot effectively turning a potentially uncomfortable afterglow into a very pleasant one.
Liberator has two different types of fabric the Throe can come in, microfiber or shag, and since I wanted the leopard print Throe as I adore leopard print I got the microfiber one. The other side of the throe is black satin, and between the two layers there is a third layer of nylon which serves as a moisture barrier between the two softer and luxurious fabrics.
While the fabric of the throe doesn’t soak up whatever liquids get on it the nylon barrier does not let any of the fluids get through to the bed, couch, floor, or other surface below. It really does work and keep the surface below it dry regardless of what gets on it, it’s lasted through quite a few vigorous fuck sessions with one to three participants.
The only downfall of the Throe is that it has a tendency to move around and can move out of the wet spot danger zone easily during a great fucking session if you’re not paying attention to it. While it’s more tempting to lay on the soft microfiber side of the Throe because it’s so soft and smooth it is much better to have the satin side up and microfiber down.
With the microfiber down it is much less likely to move around that way, especially if you have satin sheets like we do, though it does still move around a little. We often have to move it around mid-coitus to make sure it will catch the right stuff, but the momentary shifting of the Throe doesn’t really take anything away from the experience, especially to people who have four cats and are used to being interrupted.
The microfiber is the same material that is on Liberator’s shapes including the Ramp and so putting it microfiber to microfiber down underneath the Ramp offers a little more protection and means the Ramp won’t slide around either (though it rarely does).
The biggest issue for us has been simply remembering to put it down beforehand and/or during, so the Throe has become a permanent part of our bed, but even so there has been many a time when the Throe just didn’t get in the right spot.
Thank you so very very much to Liberator for allowing me to review the Fascinator Throe!

Dildo Review: Belladonna’s Magic Hand
Written by Jun 20, 2009, 15:50
3 Comments • Related Topics: 2 Lotuses - Okay, Dildos, Doc Johnson, Text Reviews

We agreed to receive Belladonna’s Extreme Pussy and Ass for Onyx to review and got an extra Belladonna surprise, Belladonna’s Magic Hand, you may have noticed it on the bookshelf behind me in many of my latest video reviews. Now, Belladonna’s pretty awesome and I’ve been a fan of hers for quite some time, but putting a replica of her hand inside myself has never really been on my list of things “to do.”
I knew I was going to put her inside me, however, as I wouldn’t review something without actually using it first. Belladonna’s Magic Hand is made out of Sili-gel, as mentioned above, which is semi-porous and because of that it can never be completely sterilized. The hand has a funky smell to it, almost a chemical fruit smell, though mostly just rubbery.
To use her hand safely I stretched a regular condom over her fingers and down her wrist which was snug but surprisingly easy to do. Using a condom keeps the hand from picking up or transferring any bacteria to your naughty bits and also means you can share the hand if you want to.
I’ll be honest, I was extremely apprehensive about putting this thing inside of me. I knew because I was using a condom it was safe as far as the material was concerned but the idea of sticking someone’s disembodied hand up my cunt (that also kind of reminds me of Thing from The Addams Family) was not appealing. At all. However, I was also extremely curious and knew I would have to try it eventually.
We got me warmed up before pressing the rather long fingers inside of me, and actually got her up to the knuckles, which was actually a very nice stretch. It’s huge, obviously, as it’s a replica of a hand, which was great for an aspiring size queen such as myself but would definitely be too big for most and is something that needs a lot of warm up before-hand (pun intended).
When turned sideways her hand hit something and hurt, but up or upside down she was okay, though her fingers were too long to get her inside me past her knuckles.
Personally, the reason I enjoy fisting is because it stretches me open and also because it hits the g-spot. While Belladonna’s hand definitely stretched me nicely there was no g-spot contact whatsoever, which was highly disappointing. Stretching only goes so far for me and neither Onyx or myself are anywhere near being able to take this toy in our backdoors which may be a completely different and possibly better experience.
The creep factor was just a little too high for me on this toy, and that coupled with the fingers being too long–though I know it’s a replica of an actual hand so that’s not really able to be changed, but they could have been curled up a bit to give some nice g-spot stimulation–just means that while I’m definitely going to be displaying this toy for amusement purposes I can pretty much guarantee I will never use it again. It wasn’t horrible, but just not good either.
Much thanks to Tabu Toys sex toys for letting me review Belladonna’s Magic Hand!

Vibrator Review: Acuvibe Mini
Written by Jun 18, 2009, 23:41
2 Comments • Related Topics: 4 Lotuses - Very Good, Clitoral Vibrators, Other, Text Reviews, Vibrators

This is actually my third massager-type vibrator after the “Cadillac of Vibrators” Hitachi and the Miracle Massager. All three are very similar to each other but with striking differences as well.

The Hitachi is the most well-known of the bunch so most of my comparison is going to be to it. It’s large, loud, and exceptionally powerful and pretty much the comparison-vibe for all massager-type vibrators. The Acuvibe Mini is much smaller in comparison (hello, it’s called ‘mini’ for a reason) and instead of plugging into the wall it is rechargeable which is handy for portability and absolutely awesome. It would be easy to stash in a purse or backpack and whip it out at a moment’s notice.
The small size of the Mini also makes it easier to store in general as well, since you don’t have to worry about a huge bulky massager taking up space, and you don’t have to worry about the cord getting crazy tangled or getting worn down right where it attaches to the massager, as cords often do. It also is much more comfortable to grip than the massive Hitachi without compromising too much on the strength.

While I don’t have the Acuvibe to compare the Mini or Hitachi too from what I read the Acuvibe Mini is comparable in strength to the low speed on the Acuvibe and I would compare it to the low speed on the Hitachi as well, so it’s got quite a bit of punch to it! Personally I rarely if ever use the high speed on the Hitachi so the Mini is just the right speed for me, but if you need the Hitachi on high it’s definitely not that powerful.
The biggest difference between the Hitachi and Acuvibe Mini aside from the size, and what I love the most, is it’s rechargeable rather than plugged in so it has massive portability and is just generally less of a hassle. I love my Hitachi, but I’ve never been a fan of the cord as my outlet or power strip is always just slightly too far away from me to really be comfortable so I end up using the Hitachi on rare occasion when I feel like getting off quickly.
Come to think of it I actually had my Hitachi plugged in pretty close to the bed for a while before we moved, but ended up not using it very often then either because the cord would always get tangled with other things.

The Acuvibe Mini, however, is so easy to use and charge it’s ridiculous. You can see the charging port in the image above, and the second image is the light at the bottom turned blue due to it charging. The light doesn’t blink or do anything to indicate when it’s done charging, which I wish it did, though admittedly I’m spoiled by my LELO toys. The manual instructs to charge the Acuvibe Mini for a full eight hours before first use.
Unlike the Acuvibe and the Hitachi the mini has a slight curve to it’s head, which I thought was wonderful for clitoral stimulation and makes me think the makers realize what it’s going to be used for. What I especially love about massager-type vibrators in general is they are able to be used with quite a bit of pressure, which is the sensation that gets me off the quickest. Pressure plus strong vibration? Yes, please!
While the Acuvibe Mini has definitely made me curious to try the Acuvibe I really can’t imagine that I will be more in love with it than the Acuvibe Mini. The strong vibration coupled with the petite size is just perfect!
Much thanks to Babeland for sending me the Acuvibe Mini to review!

Porn Review: Champion
Written by Jun 18, 2009, 17:05
No Comment • Related Topics: 3 Lotuses - Good, Pink & White, Porn - Queer, Text Reviews

I haven’t been watching as much porn lately as I used to. Really I haven’t watched that much porn since Onyx and I got together, but I used to watch it a lot, and this is something I want to change. I’ve never been huge into storyline porn for getting off to, though. I always prefer to just watch fucking, and usually a small clip of fucking to just get myself off and then go about my business, so Champion was a definite departure for me in that aspect.
I have lusted over Pink & White productions since I first heard about them which is why Champion was my first pick of DVD to review from Early to Bed. I’ve heard wonderful things about Champion as well as Crash Pad and the Crash Pad Series among others.
Like all porn movies I’ve ever seen (years ago) the acting isn’t wonderful. While it’s also better than a lot of porn acting Champion still has it’s share of flatly delivered lines and wrong inflection of words. I was happy that every sex scene seemed to have a purpose to either further the plot or give some sort of believable reference to it.
I don’t care too much for the storyline, but part of that was just not being that into storylines in general, I didn’t expect much from it because it is porn first and foremost and it wasn’t horrible just not great either. The fucking, however, was delicious and delightful.
While the story itself is somewhat believable I lost interest in it pretty quickly once the fucking started anyway. And, oh, the fucking. The chemistry between couples was right on for what they were trying to do in each scene, giving an idea of the character or somehow referencing back to the plot. Every coupling had it’s own unique feeling to it which made sense for the scene and characters.
Scene-by-scene

The movie opens with Jessie (Syd Blakovich) fucking her (ex-)girlfriend Kathy (Jiz Lee) quite vigorously while what sounds like a phone rings. The phone sound is actually an alarm or possibly text message signaling Jessie to go train. Jessie leaves quite abruptly leaving a frustrated Kathy who takes matters into her own hands, as they say. As the credits roll the shots alternate between watching Jessie train and Kathy fucking herself, giving us a good juxtaposition between fighting and fucking which we will get a few more times throughout the movie. It’s only a couple of minutes before Kathy comes and the rest of the movie begins.

After some fighting and badgering of Jessie from her manager we get to the next sex scene which starts with a quick hot deep-throating blowjob. We watch as a presumably drunk Jessie fucks Girl #1 (Madison Young). Yes, that is seriously her name in the titles: Girl #1, though there’s no Girl #anything-else, but I shall call her Madison from now on.
We see Jessie being extremely toppy and basically using Madison to satisfy her desire to fuck, not really paying attention to Madison as much as her cunt and her reactions which is rather hot. Madison is obviously into Jessie and enjoying herself immensely. The chemistry between the two is that of an incredibly electric one-night stand and absolutely fitting for the scene as well as very hot.
The scene itself is gorgeous, too, in a bed in front of a huge window which really made me want to move into the apartment. The only thing that detracts me from it is Madison has a tendency to let out little squeaky whimpers that kind of irritate me, but not enough to keep me from loving the scene. After much thigh-smacking, abdomen-scratching, fervent fucking we see Jessie waking up and remarking to Madison “what’s keeping you, honey?” Possibly my favorite line in the movie.

After suffering wearing a dress for a photoshoot then flirting and being rejected by her opponent in her next fight Violet (Dallas) Jessie comes home to Kathy with a bit of a bruised ego and takes that frustration out on her. We see her fucking Kathy much more tenderly than we saw her with Madison. The two have wonderful chemistry as lovers, which makes sense because they are lovers in real life. After a long intimate sex scene (yes, I said intimate) Jessie quickly up and leaves, which is as per usual from Kathy’s reaction.

In between clips of Jessie watching videos of old fights we come to what is quite possibly my favorite scene in the film. Jessie’s manager Tiny (Dylan Ryan) comes to see Jessie’s nemisis Bobby (Javier). From the request Tiny makes at the end it seems her reason to come see Bobby is to ask him to not fuck up Jessie’s chance of winning her fight against Violet, not knowing that Bobby has already talked to Jessie and rigged the fight. It’s a good excuse, though, to get these two in a van together.
Bobby and Tiny, like the rest of the couples, have wonderful chemistry and are spectacular to watch. As I mentioned, I think this is my favorite of the scenes, not just because Bobby is a transman and Tiny leaves her shoes on the entire scene which was very butch/femme and very hot, but also because the fucking is simply phenomenal. Bobby uses his cane as a spreader bar on Tiny’s knees (a trick I’m going to have to try) which keeps her wide open for so he can fuck her easily and enables us to watch her ejaculate not once but twice.

Once she’s been sated the tables turn and she’s strapped on with a glittery red harness to fuck him with. Both him fucking her and her fucking him is amazingly hot and I think it’s the combination of the two that really makes it my favorite scene.

After the fight, which in theory is the climax of the film (as opposed to the many climaxes the performers have within it) Jessie and her opponent Violet (Dallas) get down and dirty. This is the first time that we have seen Jessie get fucked, in all her other scenes she is the one doing the fucking but in this scene they are fucking each other.
It is a nearly twenty minute fuckfest of the two of them exploring each others bodies somewhat tenderly before really getting into it. The length was a little long for me, but they kept switching positions and keeping it fresh so it didn’t drag exactly or get repetative. Again, the chemistry here is wonderful and it definitely has that feeling of newness and wonder at a first intimate experience with someone you’ve been lusting at from afar.
Obviously I’m a big fan of the movie. Like I said, I wasn’t too into the plot, but it did give the movie excuse to have a couple fight scenes which were great to watch and to build up the tension between Jessie and Violet for the final scene. Just in case I haven’t raved about it enough, I thought the sex was wonderful and fit the attitudes of the characters and the movie itself. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys hot queer sex and a fairly good storyline.

Synopsis
from the official site
Jessie Eaton (Syd Blakovich) is a hotshot jock who can’t let go of her ex-girlfriend, Cathy Summers (Jiz Lee) while making her way into women’s professional Mixed Martial Arts boxing.
Her plans hit a snag when a run in with an old nemesis, Bobby Malone (Javier) blocks her way to the top. To save her career she must throw the match that would surely be her ticket into the professional arena. Even trickier is her attraction to the women she is suppose to beat, Violet Vahn (Dallas) who is Jessie’s toughest opponent inside and outside the ring.
It’s a big lesson in humility and integrity for Jessie as she juggles her relationships and her career. Will she win or will she lose? What does winning and losing mean?
