Kinky Toy Review: Early2Bed’s Ruler

Filed under: — BDSM, Toy Reviews

Early2Bed is a toy shop that I am working with for the first time. They sent over a small shipment of toys, one of which is this ruler that I am reviewing now. I mentioned how interested I was in this ruler and they were nice enough to send me one. Being a girl that can appreciate a good spanking and some fun school–time roleplay, I thought that this ruler would hit all the right spots. What I was surprised to find was that it was much better quality than I was expecting.

The ruler is actually quite thick. It’s definitely not anything you will find as you travel that back to school aisle, looking for school supplies. Instead, what you get is a ruler that is a quarter of an inch thick. Measurements for this bad boy are 12″ x 1 1/2″. The end of the ruler is wrapped in leather for the spanker’s convenience and comfort. The leather wrapping begins after the ruler has surpassed 8 inches.

I was immediately sold by the look of the ruler. In all honesty, for the price, I expected it to be much thinner. Of course, price and look aside, I had no idea how it would feel. I gave it a few playful smacks along my hand to discover that the possibility for quite a sting actually exists. After handing it over to the appropriate party I found out how big of a sting this could provide. The ruler is rigid and offers a sharp bite to each spanking. You can expect some nice marks (or not) if you prefer them.

As a role-play toy it works well. It is easy to drift into that Teacher-student scenario with the right toys in hand. Since this looks just like a ruler, you have the perfect play prop in waiting. This ruler, being anything but ordinary, allows you to step up your play with a much bigger sting. Under the right circumstances you will hear the beautiful sound of a firm ruler against supple flesh creating that smack sound so many of us love. You might even get to hear some moaning and groaning under the right conditions. I suppose that depends on what you’re going for.

Book Review: You Know You Love It: Lessons In Sexual Mischief by Ilona Paris

Filed under: — BDSM, Book Reviews

Never trust a product, in this case a book, when the title says “You Know You Love It.” I will admit that I certainly do love “it” when it means BDSM. I love BDSM. I don’t love this book though or the author’s representation of the BDSM world. In fact, reading this book was more torture than this simple masochist could handle. This memoir would have been better titled “You Know You Shouldn’t Read This” or “Beware, Boring and Unnecessary is Ahead.” Either way, this was one review I would have much rather left in the dirt; far under the dirt where no one could ever find this pointless, narcissistic drivel.

I had never heard of Ms. Paris before reading this book. After reading it I can safely say I would have rather been left in the dark. There are so many things that bother me about this book of “lessons” that I am not sure I know where to begin. First let me say, if you’re not the standard variety want-to-be bored or boring, desperate housewife then this book probably isn’t something you will be able to relate to. Second, if you have enough BDSM knowledge to know what the acronym stands for, this book probably also is not for you.

The information pointed towards those in need of sexual mischief make me scoff, but the information on BDSM made me want to shut the book on more than one occasion. In fact, in the entire book, there was one section that I liked. The section was at the end of the book and contained a set of shopping links. The rest I would have gladly shredded just to ensure I never see it again.

This book is meant to offer people who need help and information about sexual mischief, as Paris puts it. However, I am still not sure what, if anything, I learned, other than to be much more careful when picking review material. If you have any knowledge about sex this ends up being a book that offers nice shopping links and not a lot more than that. Other than that you might be considering how many paper airplanes need to be made to beat the world record and if there are enough bland and unneeded pages in this book to become the champion.

20 Days of Liberator: Day Twelve - Silk Binding Sash

Filed under: — BDSM, Fetish, Shopping Tips

Silk SashA little light bondage play never hurt the adventure BDSM beginner or the kink friendly couple looking to have a night to remember. One of the least threatening binding materials is silk. It not only feels fabulous against the skin, it is simple to use and one of the pretties binding materials for kink. If you are looking to add a little silk passion to your Valentine’s then Liberator has just what you are looking for.

The Silk Binding Sash comes in your choice of three colors (black, red, and champagne). You can also choose between the 7ft, 14ft, or deluxe set. The prices range from $69 for the 7ft to $215 for the deluxe set. The deluxe set contains three 7 ft and two 14 ft sashes. Each option arrives in a standard gift box in a microfiber clutch.

If you go for this set you should remember to take good care of your silk sashes. Otherwise you can expect them to wear down. While silk is incredibly strong, the strength weakens when it comes in contact with things like sweat and heat.

20 Days of Liberator: Day Three – Zomi Black Label Restraints

Filed under: — BDSM, Sexuality, Shopping Tips

Zomi Black Label RestraintsBDSM and kink are a part of the everyday lives of some people and it’s a nice way to play in the bedroom occasionally, for others. The first group tends to take things a little more seriously, which leads to a skeptical eye when it comes to restraints that aren’t from a toy store that specializes in BDSM or bondage. Despite my knowledge and love for this kink-filled lifestyle, I could not help but adore this Zomi restraint set.

There are a couple of reasons that I like this set, so we will go into that in a minute. The point is that if you are looking for some multifaceted restraints that are both trendy and softcore, then Zomi could be what you are looking for this Valentine’s.
