I have always wanted a remote-control vibrating egg, fantasizing about all the ways I could use it in public with no-one but me and the remote-holder the wiser.  Thanks to Extreme Restraints I now own the Trinity 10-Speed Vibrating Egg!

You know the Fantasy.  You are sitting in a restaurant, eating dessert as your partner turns up the power on the remote vibe hidden between the lips of you vagina and makes you start to moan and squirm.  This vibe would definitely do this to you.  It is pretty powerful.  With 10 levels of vibrations from mild to zing, this little vibes will put a little bounce in your step, whether you use it anally, in the vagina or on the clitoris.  Great for couples who want to play games, and the ideal punishment vibe for naughty subs that need to be disciplined in public, as it can be used from across the room.

I really enjoyed this as a clit masturbator.  It took no time at all to get me off.  It was a lot of fun having my partner play with it as well, as I was always in anticipation of what he would do with it next.  Being a control freak (who is almost always in control of my orgasms) it was a unique and thrilling experience, giving up a bit of power.

Comes with batteries, which is a bonus and the egg vibe and remote link together so you don’t lose them.  One thing you should know about remote control vibes however, is that the batteries should be removed after use.  This is because the vibe is continually powered waiting for the signal from the remote, so they tend to die pretty quickly if you leave them in.  I learned this the hard way, and now I need new batteries (which are mini weird size N) so now I’m sure I will have a hard time finding replacements for it.  I often wonder why toy companies don’t invent vibes with regular AA batteries.  It would make everything so much easier!

Other than the battery issue, the Trinity 10-Speed Vibrating Egg is an amazing vibe.  Pick one up at Extreme Restraints.

Zen and the Art of Fire Cupping

1zen1 Zen and the Art of Fire Cupping

The art of fire cupping began in many ancient cultures as a traditional therapy to treat various ailments by creating a vacuum next to the skin.  “The earliest use of cupping that is recorded is from the famous Taoist alchemist and herbalist, Ge Hong (281-341 A.D.).  The method was described in his book A Handbook of Prescriptions for Emergencies, in which the cups were actually animal horns, used for draining pustules.  As a result of using horns, cupping has been known as jiaofa, or the horn technique.”-Cupping by Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D.  In China, it was used as a type of acupressure to relieve respiratory diseases such as the common cold, pneumonia, and bronchitis. Cupping is also said to be good for treatment of back, neck and shoulder pain.

It does, however, have another purpose.  It is used in bdsm as a type fire / sensation play, and can be used for other sexual purposes as well by applying the heated cups to the genitals or breasts.  It also falls under the heading of Medical Fetish.  Unless overheated or left on too long, fire cupping is usually not painful.  The sensation the cups make when applied is like a soft vacuum sucking the skin, much like someone giving you a hickey that builds in intensity the longer the cups are left on.  In traditional fire cupping for treatment, the cups are left on for about one minute, but during bdsm, they can be left on much longer, until the sensation becomes too intense (max 30 minutes).  Often, the cups will leave circular red bruises or hickey marks when removed which slowly fade away.

I have wanted to experiment with cupping sets for a long time and have always been fascinated by them.  This 3 Piece Fire Cupping Set (3 pieces: small, medium and large) is compliments of Extreme Restraints who indulged my desire to learn and play.

Word of Caution:  Fire Cupping can be extremely dangerous because you are playing with fire (obviously).  I burned myself several times trying different methods, until I figured the safest way to do it.  The alcohol method is the most dangerous, but also the most effective.

Rubbing Alcohol Method

As mentioned, this method is the most dangerous, but does create an effective vacuum if you don’t burn yourself first or splash flaming alcohol on yourself or your play partner.  Not fun, and really scary.  So be very careful and play safe!

What You Will Need

  • Glass Fire Cupping Set
  • Bottle of Rubbing Alcohol
  • Cotton Balls
  • Forceps
  • Barbecue Lighter
  • Silicone Lubricant
  • A Pail of Water for Safety

1zen2 Zen and the Art of Fire Cupping

Massage lubricant into the area of the skin you will be cupping to get a better seal against your partner’s flesh.  This will also make the cups easier to remove and move around on the surface of the skin.

Hold a cotton ball with the forceps and soak it with alcohol.  Try not to soak it too much as you don’t want excess or dripping.  Next, use a barbecue lighter to light the cotton ball and hold it inside the cup to warm the inside air (not the cup itself) and then quickly place on the skin, open face down.  You will immediately see the skin pulling inside the cup.  The more the cup cools, the more the skin will be sucked up inside and the more intense the sensation.  Be careful not to get the alcohol on the cup itself, especially the top rim or the outside as this may cause the whole cup to catch on fire and burn you or your partner.

Candle Method

What You Will Need

  • Everything Above except for the Rubbing Alcohol and Cotton Balls
  • A Tall Candle

With this method you just light the candle and hold it under the open cups until the air inside heats up (10 seconds).  I didn’t find that this method created as much suction, but it was much less dangerous.  It also tended to blacken the tops of the cups, or heat the glass too much, rather than just the air.

Leave cups on the skin for the desired amount of time (until sensation becomes too intense), but no more than 30 minutes.  Once on, you can leave the cups in place or slowly move them around the skin if you have put on sufficient lubricant.  Silicone lubricant works best for this purpose because it stays very slippery.  Remove cups by pressing the skin near the rim to allow air to enter the cup and break the seal.  Gently remove.

I did this to my mother actually, as she volunteered to be my guinea pig.  She has fibromyalgia and often experiences muscle pain.  She loved the warmth and the sensation of the cupping on her back.  We left the cups on for about 15 minutes and she had slightly red circles on her back which didn’t hurt.  She also said it made her back muscles feel much better afterwards.  I also tried one on my breast over the nipple and really enjoyed the suction that was created, very erotic.  There seems to be many possibilities of how you could use these cups for various types of sensation and arousal, as much as your perverted mind can think up.

Thank you to Extreme Restraints for allowing me to review their 3 Piece Cupping Set.  It was definitely a learning experience and something I will enjoy doing again and again.  Practice makes perfect!

The Zeus Electrogasm

zeus The Zeus Electrogasm

And, now for something completely different!  I have been inspired by Red from the Red Sneaker Diaries to try out some electro-stimulation type sex toys.  She has been doing a series of reviews on erotic E-Stim toys and has become what I consider the Queen of E-stim toys.  Previously, I’ve been a bit wary of trying electrostimulation.  Okay, I’m a chicken actually.  Although I consider myself somewhat of a masochist in that I’m heavily tattooed, love piercings and play piercings as well as heavy breast torture (okay now you know my perverted pleasures), there are some types of sensations that I despise.

A couple of years ago I got a nasty shock from a Violet (violent) Wand.  It was my own fault because of the way I was holding it and I touched a part that I wasn’t supposed to and a jolt of electricity shot right up my arm.  I thought I was going to go into cardiac arrest.  Seriously though, no damage was done and I was more embarrassed than anything.  So, I guess I’ve been shying away from electricity ever since.

But, curiosity killed the cat, so here I am about to blast myself into orgasm or intense shock.  I just started reviewing products for the amazing folks at Extreme Restraints and they asked what I would like to try.  I told them I had never tried electrostimulation, so they recommended the Zeus Electrogasm, which is a beginner E-stim toy.  And, that’s just perfect because I am in no rush to take away Red’s E-stim crown!

zeus2 The Zeus Electrogasm

So, what exactly is this strange little toy?  Well, as you can see it is shaped like a butterfly with two wings that are self-adhesive pads that have the electrodes on the back and the function box on the front that powers the unit.  Fairly simple, no wires or plug-ins, just put in the battery, attach the box to the butterfly and you are ready to play.  The toy is entirely self-contained.  It comes with two flat batteries and easy to read instructions.  Like most electrostimulation toys, this is not supposed to be used above the waist as a shock to the heart could result in cardiac arrest.

So, where did I put it first?  On my breast.  Actually, that’s not true.  First I tried it on my thigh and watched my muscles leap and contract from the jolts, and then I put it on my breast, or more accurately on my nipple (but my right one, I’m no fool!).

The power box has three buttons: “on”, “off” and “function mode”.  Once you have the butterfly stuck in place (for this demo I put the electrodes on either side of my nipple) you press the “on” button once to power it up.  Nothing happens at this point except the light comes on to let you know it is ready.  You can then begin cycling through the different functions with the “function mode” or keep pressing the “on” button to up the intensity.  The directions say it has 5 modes: A: Tapping, B: Rhythmic Kneading, C: Deep Kneading, D: Pressing and E: Continuous Press.  Combined with the 4 intensity levels, this gives you 9 different variations.

So what does it feel like?  Well the A mode feels like a tingling tapping on the lowest intensity and like sharp needles on the highest intensity.  B mode is a short burst of buzzing that becomes fairly intense and more needling on the high intensity.  C mode is a long undulating wave going from light to sharp.  D mode goes through the various settings, and E mode is a long continuous burst, followed by the other modes.  On the lowest intensity it feels like a tickling fluttery feeling, while on the high modes it is a fairly intense needling sensation that sends little shocking jolts through the area (in this case my nipple).  I found the lower levels pleasurable, but couldn’t stand the higher intensities for very long.  I did enjoy cycling through the intensity levels and giving myself a good jolt every once in a while though.  It is really rather freaky playing with this cool little toy, especially if you haven’t experienced it before.  It feels unlike anything I have experienced thus far, and I can see why it could become addictive, or more interesting than the normal sex toy vibration.

The thing I liked best about it is that you won’t experience a painful, shocking jolt, like I did with the Violet Wand.  It is very safe and if you follow the instructions, not painful unless you want it to be.  Next week, I may get the courage up to try it on my clitoris or labia, which is where this toy is recommended for use (or the anus), or in case of a guy, wrapped around the penis.  Because you can’t see the controls when it is down there, I wanted to wait until my partner returns from his business trip to help me out with it.  According to Red, E-stim can be a highly erotic, orgasmic experience, so I am anxious to try this out on my other pink parts.  If you are looking for a different type of erotic stimulation I highly recommend trying this out, especially if you are a beginner.  It is very reasonably priced and may lead you on to a whole sensual journey of electrostimulation.

Thank you to Extreme Restraints for “turning me on” to electro-stimulation play for the first time.  It was an exciting, scary, strange and electrifying experience!  And, once over the initial fear of this toy and you develop a familiarity with the sensation, you may want to go on to bigger and better zaps of pleasure/pain.  Stay tuned to the Sex Carnival each week as I review some unusual bdsm toys from Extreme Restraints as well as my other sex toy reviews.
