CB6000 - 2nd problem: injury from device splitting

sol's latest CB6000 report on "researching" the CB6000, on Fetlife at my request:

"The CB6000 turns out to have a manufacturing flaw, apparently quite common. The main body of the device is moulded in halves which are glued together, and the glue on the underside has partially come unstuck. The result is that it pinches and has broken the skin on the underside of my cock.

"So for the moment I'm taking a break, while I heal and we work out what kind of glue is best to repair it."

This seems to be a very common flaw that many wearers of the device encounter. The internet is full of stories. As one example, here's stickylips' experience from the Male Chastity Forum site:

"Well, disaster happened yesterday. Hubby's CB-6000 split at the seam while he was wearing it at work, it was only day three of our sixth session of his wearing it and I think in total he's had it adorning his tackle for about 50 days since we purchased it.

"He was in a boring business meeting, he was daydreaming and developed a hard-on which created so much internal pressure that the seam running along the underside of the device finally gave way and separated by a few millimeters. The net result being that the underside of his cock then filled the gap and became pinched between the two halves of the shell. He had to extricate himself from the meeting in considerable discomfort and adjust himself in a toilet cubicle; unfortunately he was not able to remove the CB as it was padlocked by yours truly and although the joint was weakened he could not break the thing apart completely. So it was several hours before relief came. The underside of his cock now has a one-inch pinch mark, the skin is broken in several areas and looks extremely sore.

"In hindsight, it seems obvious that eventually the seam will fail under the constant internal outward pressure that an engorged penis exerts in a confined space. With something this expensive one tends to assume that the quality control of the product is adequate but Hubby reckons that this is a major design flaw; we had enjoyed using the CB-6000, it was fun for both of us and it gave a real enhancement to our sex life. Obviously we will not be using it again, but I wanted to warn others of this potential problem"

I've quoted stickylips in full because of that last line ... I think she's right about letting others know about this problem. Sol's too was a nasty pinch injury as you can see from the photo at the top.

You can read similar experiences from many others on stickylips' thread. While stickylips was less interested in repairs and more interested in a new device that wouldn't injure her husband, many forum members posted suggesting ways to make repairs ... and we experienced the same thing, with good feedback from friends re how to fix the device . billc393 noted:

"I've heard other tales of this happening too sol...

"One solution I read about the guy split the ring at the 'crack' smoothed the edges and superglued them back together. Personally I'd go for an Epoxy fix.. you'd have to sand and polish it once it cured, but it would be unlikely to split again. If you attempt either repair, be sure to clean the surfaces well with acetone and avoid touching it again with your bare hands (use latex gloves) until the repair cures. The oil on your skin can screw up the bond.

"Kept For Her sell replacement rings etc for many of the CB products 2000-6000 might be just as easy to order a replacement ring"

I mentioned to bill that we'd read on another site that Epoxy didn't work on the devices. He replied:

"There are many types of epoxy, one for nearly anything, you need to know what the type of plastic is. There are also specific plastic glues that sort of 'weld' the pieces together. I've also heard that you might be able to get it replaced as defective from the maker. Last, on the site I listed I think they sold replacement tubes as well.

"I hope you guys get this resolved as I was enjoying reading about the journey."

Don't worry bill, he's not escaping it THAT easily! We might resort to Ms_Ariel's suggestion ("Rubrluvr just put a strip of black electrical tape on the seam to fix it. Ruins the look but works. We just got a Curve instead.") while we work out the glue issue!

(you can read our next post on the CB600's repairs here)

Many thanks:

Attending Oz KinkFest - part 3

"It was an absolute pleasure to have both you
and your wonderful knowledge as an integral
part of such a new and important event!
Thank you xx MM"
MistressMallice

It was the final weekend of OzKinkFest 2009 in Melbourne.

Everyone at Natalya's home slept late on Saturday morning, after Hellfire Resurrection ... and almost ten days of kinky activities. On Saturday afternoon sol and I caught up with Uber's MsDee, to discuss possible educational events for 2010. Then that night we attended Klub Kunst, described on the Oz KinkFest website as "a hardcore BDSM fetish event for those not faint of heart!". Which sounds just our sort of thing, really.

KK was held at Vedette Nightclub. I had something special planned for the evening, but on the other hand I knew we had to leave for the airport at just after 4am, to make sol's red eye flight. If we'd been more sensible we'd have gone straight to bed. But fuck being sensible, so we went along to KK, and I'm glad we did because it was a good night. Can't include any photos here, but there were some terrific performances and lots of play. As one (fantastic) performer Pepper1986 later noted on Fetlife:

"KK was probably my highlight [of KinkFest] ... I loved that everywhere I turned there were beautiful people who'd gone to huge efforts to dress up and that every corner you came around there was play, play, and more play, spilling into halls, doorways, anywhere someone could find a small space, a scene was bound to happen.."

We also caught up with both old and new friends. Amongst those new friends was Bella447. Although we have many mutual friends, our paths had not crossed until the organizing of Ozkinkfest. When sol and I had dinner with Bella and her submissive Paulus on Thursday night, I had jokingly offered her sol as a KinkFest stress release mechanism. But I had also asked whether she might like to play with us at KK, as sol had greatly enjoyed her using him as a demo bottom during Wednesday's workshop, and I knew there was much I could learn from her. She had very kindly agreed and I'd been enjoying the anticipation as much as sol.

Our scene followed the hottest, most incredible single tail scene between Mr_Joins and my friend losti from Sydney. I couldn't breathe at times, it was so exquisite to watch. At one point both Bella and I were adding our weight to the cross on which losti was leaning, as it appeared unsteady on the stage. When we took over the stage later (there were no steps up to the stage, which made a dignified Domme entry and exit impossible *grin*) and restrained sol on the cross, I positioned myself at the back of it, with my feet and hands on the cross bars for extra support. I knew the force of the blows sol often took.

You think as a Dominant you have everything covered, for your sub. You've put thought and care into choosing a play partner for him, someone that you both really like, someone extraordinarily skilled. You're on the stage of the hottest play party venue in town. You can feel the metallic taste in your mouth that only happens when a great scene is about to be played out. He's restrained and already dropping into the zone at the touch of both your hands, and your play partner's. And then something happens you can't control.

What I didn't realize at the time was that there were two open doors on either side of the stage, one leading to the outside smoking area. This meant the midnight air flow up on the stage was cool. Nice, in some circumstances, but sol was already chilled from having the flu ... and now he was naked on the stage and right in that damned draft.

My view from behind the cross gave me a close view of sol's face, and also allowed me to observe Bella as she began her warm up. Sol responded beautifully to the touch of her hands and to the various implements she used. She was extraordinarily graceful in her movements, and again I felt honored that she had so generously granted us this play time during what had to be one of the busiest weeks of her life.

We were about ten minutes into the scene. Watching sol so closely I was aware he was slipping into subspace ... but ... something was not right. I signalled Bella to stop, but in fact she already had. She was able to read his body and responses so well, I never had to lift a finger during that short scene.

We questioned sol. He was cold, he murmured. Too cold. I quickly felt his hands ... not too cool but his body was way too thin for any type of deep chill. So we took him down and wrapped him up quickly. I wonder now if we'd moved to the cross in the other room, whether we might have been able to continue ... but time was short anyway. It was time to say our thankyous and goodbyes, and head home and then to the airport.

Once home I put sol to bed for 20 minutes, with lots of warm blankets, while I finished his packing. I thought about putting him back into his jeans, but decided his leather pants and a jumper would be warmer. THAT was a mistake that would come back to haunt us.

Sol's flight left at 6am. He planned to pick up the car at the airport and be home in bed by 9am. As I wrote to friends later, at 8am I got a call "um ... I think I might have fucked up". Not getting back into his jeans meant that at 4am he'd forgotten to put his car, house and work keys back into his pocket! Thank you so much to everyone - especially MistressTerra, MistressAdira and MistressAdira's submissive - who helped us get those keys back to sol that very day. He eventually reached home at about 6pm. Personally I blame the CB6000 ... he's been a tad preoccupied with it LOL.

I missed sol dreadfully. I'd stayed on in Melbourne for a final kinkFest event on Sunday afternoon - an afternoon tea for Female Dominants, with me talking informally about Femdom tea parties. But first Natalya and Kaluah and I met Surgeon and Surgeon's_shadow for yum cha. Considering Surgeon and Surgeon's_shadow were still playing hard when sol and I left KK at 3am, I wasn't surprised by Surgeon's pained expression whenever light or noise reached him, LOL. Surgeon's_shadow also showed us her beautiful marks.

A few hours later Natalya and I arrived at Madam Brussels'. Their back parlour had been booked for our afternoon event. Madam Brussels' website says about the parlour:

THE PARLOUR - "Up the rear of madame brussels"

Beyond the garden gates is a room of mystery and intrigue. Leave behind the pink haze as you enter our Den of Iniquity, boasting some of the rarest dark spirits in Melbourne including over 20 of the worlds finest rums.

We are taking things back to the good old days where service was everything and the drinks were even more. The Parlour will be hosted by your own dedicated personal waiter, who will stir your desired concoction of refreshment using original art-deco cocktail apparatus, and splash your scotch with a proper soda siphon. There will be strictly NO muddling or shaking here darlings. And as for those floozy punches that are taken in the garden.....well none of that will be going on in the Parlour! We are more likely to turn your head with an antique pitcher of martini or manhattan..."

You get the idea. It was a great venue, and the afternoon was a great deal of fun. I was delighted to make the acquaintance of several new friends, amongst them MistressCeleste, who gave me this beautiful gift, with infinite possibilities:


And also Ms_Neta from Tasmania, who I'm really looking forward to getting to know. Old friends - including Devilwoman - were also there. My "tea parties from hell" stories kept everyone amused, with Devilwoman providing great backup.

I was to leave early Tuesday, so on my last day Natalya courageously braved the traffic to drive me down to MsRoni's home. MsRoni is recovering at home from an operation and was unable to attend KinkFest activities. We spent a wonderful laughter filled few hours filling her in, and enjoyed a great meal together, where I got to eat this:

Home to Natalya's one last time, to pack and say goodbye to her beautiful cats:

Kaluah drove me to the airport at 6am. It was lucky I arrived at the airport early because my first flight had been canceled. I landed in Sydney with 3 minutes to change flights, but made the connection. Sol was waiting for me, still very sick with flu ... in fact he ended up taking the whole week off work. We both crawled into bed and stayed there. We got up to go pick up the Xmas Present on Thursday, and got up on Friday to go see the Doctor. But otherwise we were in bed for a week.

But bed together, even sick with flu, was a very nice place to be :)

Sincere and heartfelt OzKinkFest thank you's to:

• Natalya and Kaluah for their incredibly generous hospitality and airport runs (having guests for almost two weeks is a long time ... we owe you, literally!)
  

• MistressMallice and Bella447 for making OzKinkFest 2009 happen

• Natalya and Bella for involving me in the OzKinkfest workshop program (which made attending Kinkfest possible for sol and myself)

• Bella for scening at KK with us (To Be Continued :))

• everyone who let us watch them play, and who shared their skills and knowledge with us

• Devilwoman (who is extremely dangerous ... to go shopping with)

• MistressTerra, MistressAdira and MistressAdira's submissive for rescuing sol!
  

• to all the new friends we made. As Bella later wrote "I meet people who truly touched my heart during KinkFest, and I hope we will become great long-term friends".

CB6000 - 1st problem: Escape

Sol writes:

A few minutes ago, I was just trying to adjust how my cock was sitting in the CB6000, when I managed - with very little effort - to escape from it. Simply apply pressure just above the base of the penis, when quite flaccid (cold morning!) and the cage was hanging from my balls. A couple more twists (as I went to show Mistress and her friend what had happened), and I had the whole thing off.

So now it's obvious why there's a market for add-ons to the cbx000 series to prevent removal.

Going down a size in the ring would help, but we've already established it makes it hard to sleep. Going down a size in the spacer would mean that it would stay on the balls, but that's not much of an improvement.

On the other hand, this is one of the main reasons I have my PA piercing ...

Attending OzKinkFest - part 2

Isn't that photo above amazing? That's ME! This was my outfit for Hellfire Resurrection, but I need to back track a few days to cover OzKinkFest properly.

We are still at Natalya and Kaluah's, and spend much time paying suitable adoration to their lovely moggies:


We had a great week of KinkFest workshops and skillshares, starting with my strap on play one last Monday ((I'll take away a great memory of lots of laughter and Natalya walking around with a bouncing green dildo lol) and finishing with a fantastic catheter and sounds play on Thursday night. As I wrote to friends and on a couple of forums, the possibilities of sounds and electrical play have me dreaming and scheming ....

On Wednesday night I helped Bella and MistressMallice with a BDSM for women workshop. This meant sol was used as a demo bottom for Bella (who was using quirts) and MistressMallice (whips and canes). I was so tired that night I forgot to take photos of his rather nice marks but you can see the remains of them the next morning:


Another reason we've been having so much fun this week is sol's new chastity device. You can read about here and here. I've been keeping those posts separate so they are easier for readers interested in chastity to find, but I will xpost sol's three day report about wearing the device, here because it gives you an idea of the mood this week *grin*:
sol on Fetlife:

"God I'm horny.

The larger ring is working well, and I slept through the night with no issues. I'm starting to get used to the sensation of being held gently but firmly around the cock and balls. Did I mention I'm horny ?

We were sitting in the back yard yesterday afternoon, working on our respective laptops, when Natalya said "Could you stop projecting so damn much because you're making me uncomfortable. I was trying to work out why I was twitching ...". I gave her a 'look', and she and Mistress started laughing. "poor baby", Mistress said.

And it's not that long since I last came ... It's a very powerful toy."

Again thank you so much to Lady M and slave to Lady M for this "very powerful toy".


Several friends are here from Brisbane, including MistressAdira, b and Devilwoman. We are having Yum Cha with Surgeon and Surgeon's_Shadow and Natalya tomorrow.

We caught up with Devilwoman at the Wednesday workshop. She introduced us to Takemyinnocence (such a wonderful name :) ) who she had met online, and who was attending his first KinkFest. We met up with them again on Thursday at the Hares and Hyena's bookshop, a really great place to base yourself in Melbourne: lots of great books, coffee, free wireless and kink friendly. Here's sol on their red velvet couch, reading up on anal sex positions!:


Devilwoman had several places she wanted to check out for clothes, so we checked out Vicious Venus and some wonderful local stores. On Thursday we all met up again and drove to Marquis de Sade, who's owner Mary had invited me to visit during the Kink Expo.

Marquis de Sade remains THE place, if you want serious fetish outfits in Australia, and I had been looking forward to visiting their premises for a long time, ever since Mary created a custom fit PVC skirt for me in an unbelievable short time (I rang on Wednesday and the skirt was waiting for me at my Sydney hotel on Friday). Remember if you want to visit, you need to ring (+61 3 9578 4417) for an appointment first.

The shop was extremely busy with last minute kinksters freaking out about their Hellfire Resurrection outfits, and others there for the amazing corset sale being held the week of KinkFest. This was not the right time, but I wanted to remind Mary of the corset article I had been researching for Kink-E Magazine, and her promise of an interview on a less busy day. Mary also suggested another new publication that might be interested in the article, and as Natalya had also suggested this, I'll look into it.

Work related discussion over it was time to look around. What a dangerous place, full of beautiful things. I was amazed to find a sample of an old favorite on the sale rack. While all Marquis De Sade creations are stunning, I'd long admired Mary's very first design: the "Lucresia" leather corset:

"This boned, lined leather corset will have rope and lace fetishists in raptures! The full back, full length corset features lacing at the back and the front. The front lacing stretches graciously over the open decolletage area. A stunning and absolutely original corset."

This garment was usually far beyond my price range but I'd had an idea it would really suit me if I was ever lucky enough to acquire it. I had the breasts for it, LOL. I was sure the sample version was too small ... it seemed tiny ... but Mary disagreed. We had a dare: would it fit?! Oh boy did it fit. That was one dare I lost LOL. And a huge thank you to Devilwoman for helping us purchase it at such a low price that I was sure Mary was going to tell us there had been a mistake!

We dropped Devilwoman and Takemyinnocence at the Queen Victoria Markets and headed home. sol was cooking Pork Of Four Happinesses for Natalya and Kaluah. Soon the house smelt of tangarine peel, soy, garlic and ginger with the additional of a couple of extra happinesses: anise and cinnamon. It made a wonderful meal.

Then it was time to dress for Hellfire. Sol wore all leather, while I wore my leather corset and Marquis De Sade PVC "Nihilism" skirt, a PVC jacket and scarlet shoes:


We arrived at Hellfire about 10.30pm. Everyone looked extraordinary and it seems had an amazing time. It was great to catch up with friends and check out what was happening in the various play stations. Later there were performances by Satomi and Lukas Zpiras and The Hanged Man Team, amongst others. I especially enjoyed the latter - getting out of a straight jacket while suspended upside down via flesh hooks is no mean feat.

At 2am we staggered home and fell into bed. While we slept, KinkFest volunteers moved all the play furniture to Klub Kunst for tonight's play party. I'm sure that one will be lots of fun :)

CB6000 - first couple of days

Sol is doing well in the CB6000, so far with none of the problems other friends have encountered. Fingers crossed.

I took him out of the device at the 60 hour mark, for 24 hours. But that was entirely my choice, not due to any problems. I wanted to make sure everything looked good underneath, see how his sensitivity was going etc. Then put him back into the device for Hellfire Resurrection last night.

He was certainly super sensitive. I allowed him a very nice orgasm after running my fingers and nails up and down his straining shaft for a while. Then left him free for the day, made sure the device was cleaned, and the PA was still healing up (it still needs a salt bath now and then). Then last night put him back in.

This time I got to lock the device. The first time sol had been so focused on assemblage he'd locked himself in before we both realized it. This time ... knowing the consequences ... I really relished the last click of that lock. It will be nice to get home and change over to the more substantial lock I bought from Sax a while back.

Speaking of travel, sol flies home tomorrow and I stay down here a few more days. I'll give him one of the plastic locks, so he's fine for airport security and can get out of the device easily if there is a genuine need while I'm still in Melbourne.

Shortly before I removed the device at 60 hours sol wrote this report on Fetlife:

"God I'm horny.

The larger ring is working well, and I slept through the night with no issues. I'm starting to get used to the sensation of being held gently but firmly around the cock and balls. Did I mention I'm horny ?

We were sitting in the back yard yesterday afternoon, working on our respective laptops, when Natalya said "Could you stop projecting so damn much because you're making me uncomfortable. I was trying to work out why I was twitching ...". I gave her a 'look', and she and Mistress started laughing. "poor baby", Mistress said.

And it's not that long since I last came ... It's a very powerful toy."

Animal play is for the birds....

(photo: Central Asian horseman - provenance unknown)

I had an email last week from a male Dominant who wrote that his sub was interested in animal play ... or more specifically bird play. She wanted him to train her as an eagle. He was unable to find anything about this on the internet, so dropped me a line.

I'd never heard of this either. It's an interesting idea. I would certainly find a bird of prey helpful during my sub hunts *grin*. Anyway, I thought I might include my reply here, in case any readers encounter this. I'd be grateful for any ideas you have, and promise to pass them on to him :)

****

"The only form of animal role play featuring birds that I've heard of is parrot play, but I have no further info or training details. You are going to have to start from scratch here, but there's a lot of fun to be had in that.

"First, if you've not had a serious animal play D/s relationship before I suggest you read up on the classic forms such as pony play (and here ) and puppy play (also kitten play as this is popular amongst female subs) for practical tips on how to run animal play relationships, their basic dynamics etc. You might like to try joining the Human Fauna forum. I wasn't able to access their forum this morning so they might be offline for a bit, but their forum covers all types of animals and it might be a great place to ask for advice.

"Some thoughts:

"Why an eagle?

"The majority of reasons for animal role play are linked to power exchange and physically manifesting animals that are familiar to the player, such as puppies or pony play. In your sub's case though the choice of an eagle suggests a spiritual link, and you'll need to identify the connection to make the role play work. Ask why she has chosen an eagle. Does she identify with a particular species of eagle? Does she relate to it as an animal totem? In case she does I've added some info below about eagles as animal totems in Native American culture. Does she feel the connection goes deeper than that? Does she see eagles as a part of her own psyche?

"If there is some kind of spiritual connection you might like to do further research into tribal cultures where non-sexual animal roleplay was common. Native American culture is the one that most comes to mind, as animal role play was an important part of their rituals. In this case the animal was usually either one that was revered spiritually, or one that was hunted. Eagles would fit the first category. Try and track down photos or info about animal dances - one example that comes to mind is the last Animal Dance ("Massaum") performed by the Northern Cheyenne of Montana, photographed by Julia Tuell in 1911. This often gets translated as a buffalo dance but there were many other animal stories danced into it.

"How to translate all this to role play:

"First, have a read of the Native American culture info about eagle totems below. Apart from the spiritual side, this info provides lots of interesting facts for you to work on, when creating and training your own personal eagle. Note the line "The eagle is incredibly patient. Often seen perched in a tree maintaining the same position for hours at a time, eagle teaches those with this totem how to master the art of patience in every area of their life". I'm sure that gives you some ideas for eagle training, lol.

"Read up on eagle habits and think about ways you can make this work. How do eagles take to being confined? What steps are taken to preserve their comfort in captivity? What is their diet? How do they hunt?

"Here's something else you might like to consider: eagles are one of the birds of prey used in the fine art of falconry, so this is another form of training you might like to adapt to your role play if your sub finds it of interest. Eagles are rarely used due to the difficulty of training and managing an eagle, Wiki notes. Ah ha. So there's a goal for you: training your eagle to hunt with you. Read up on how to train your first bird. This involves interesting practices such as keeping the eyes covered at certain times, keeping the bird in isolation, fitting the training bird with bells and a leash, feeding reward treats from the hand, etc etc. You get the idea, I'm sure.

"Please drop me a line if I can help further. Have fun :)

"With best regards, Ms160

AMERICAN INDIAN INFO ABOUT EAGLES AS A PERSONAL ANIMAL TOTEM

The eagle is a sacred messenger, carrying our prayers to the Creator and returning with gifts and visions for the people. Eagle feathers aid medicine people in calling on this connection when they need to contact spirit for healing.

Eagles are majestic birds with a powerful presence. Although they can be social birds they do require isolation from human encroachment to breed in the wild. If a human strays to close or touches their nest, they are likely to abandon it. Both male and female incubate the eggs and share in the duties of raising its young.

The eagle is incredibly patient. Often seen perched in a tree maintaining the same position for hours at a time, eagle teaches those with this totem how to master the art of patience in every area of their life. Within the energy of patience "all things are possible."

Eagles are good at feeding themselves from the land and still soar to great heights in the sky. They teach us how to move through life without becoming attached to anything. They show us how to accept what comes our way and see everything as a gift from great spirit. They have excellent hearing and can hunt as much by ear as by sight. To those to whom eagle comes, the ability to hear spiritually and psychically will awaken

Eagles have sharp beaks and strong jaws. They remind us to pay attention to our speech and how it affects others. Our words as well as the tone of our voice should be examined. Eagle asks us to maintain a prayerful connection with Spirit, to keep our minds focused on what is important in life. Maintaining this attitude removes judgment from our consciousness. Without judgment we speak with encouragement and kindness towards others. Lessons associated with judgment are part of this medicine.

Eagles have excellent vision. Perched high in a tree they appear to analyze and observe everything. If Eagle has blessed you with its presence in some way, you are being given potent gifts of clarity and vision to use for the good of all people helping to bring forth the light out of the darkness. Eagle also serves as a reminder to those with this totem to communicate with Great Spirit daily so the gifts Eagle offers you can be utilized fully.

CB6000 - sol's first installation

Yesterday I wrote about the very generous gift we received from two new real time kinkster friends Lady Miamia and slave_to_Lady_M, "a couple I had been in touch with for a while, who regularly read this blog *Ms160 waves*.

"Sol and I were very much looking forward to meeting them. Apart from mutual Femdom interests, and the hope they might move up north near us (*hint hint*) I'd recently been in touch with them regarding a CB6000 Lady M had advertised for sale on Fetlife. She had caused great delight to both myself and Natalya with her comment that "My boy is never going to fit into it!!(sorry everyone out there I don't mean to brag!!!)". Natalya had replied "Damn Lady M, that's a heck of an issue to have!".

"I'd dropped Lady M a line about the CB6000, as we'd been wanting to try such a device for a while. In response - and I hope she won't mind my quoting private correspondence but I was a bit overwhelmed - she wrote she would like to "donate/give it to you in recognition of all the hard work, long hours and help/advice you (and sol) have freely given".

"So we not only had a wonderful evening meeting them, we were given a terrific new toy to remember them by"

I woke sol yesterday with coffee and the new device. The long awaited CB-6000 Male Chastity Device was first released by A L Enterprises in June 2007. The manufacturer writes:

"The Innovative ring design consists of three interlocking pieces that fit together like puzzle pieces. The two guide pins hold the top pieces together. The locking pin goes through the middle recessed hole connecting the cage portion to the ring. The new flat design is extremely comfortable.

"The rings come in 5 sizes: 1 ½”, 1 5/8”, 1 ¾”, 1 7/8” and 2.0” inside diameter. The cage length is 3 ¼” with an I.D. of 1 3/8”. Polycarbonate material is used due to its light weight and durability. The cage portion has the vented slots for hygiene and also allows for natural air drying. The bottom opening allows for use at the urinals. You may want to have a piece of tissue handy to wipe any drips.

"Make sure to wear a numbered plastic lock if going through any metal detectors. It has been reported that some men have worn the brass padlock and have not had any ‘alarming’ experiences, however, the plastic lock is still recommended. We highly recommend using a silicone based lubricant after showering. This allows the penis to naturally move up and down in the cage portion.

"After a break in time period you should be able to wear it for 24/7 for an indefinite period of time…1 month, 3 months…wearer and Keyholder ultimately determine the length of time"

For how the above information translates to day to day practicalities, check out Tom Allen's A week in a CB-6000: My review which also lists differences between the CB6000 and the popular CB3000. Each kit includes:

1. One Cage Portion
2. Five different sized rings
3. Four locking pins
4. Four spacers
5. Brass padlock with several keys
   
6. Five individually numbered plastic locks

Sol began assembling the various parts, choosing ring sizes and installing the device:

Installing the tube was interesting. Snug doesn't really describe how tight the fit is, but sol was adamant he felt fine.


Here's the device, fully installed and locked:


At this point sol looked up to find the keys had vanished LOL.

He wore it all yesterday. His most repeated response to my inquiries re comfort was that the sensations were more intense than expected. He slept in it all last night. At the first 24 hour mark, sol wrote on Fetlife:

"Firstly, I can report that it fits, and well. It's very snug girth-wise - but comfortably so - and my PA ring pokes quite happily out through the pee-slot at the end of the device"

"Initially we chose the middle of the 5 cock rings, but after some discomfort during the night we have swapped it for the next largest ring.

"I have kept an eye on these devices over the years, and have always thought that they would be quite easy to escape from, and while I haven't yet tried seriously to slip out of it, I don't think it would be as easy as I once imagined. So while using my PA piercing to lock the device on is still something we will probably do eventually (it turns Mistress on), it's not a necessity at this point."

"So how is it going ? There's some constant mild discomfort, simply because the plastic presses on my pubic area under clothes. As my cock shrinks and grows (not getting erect, just the normal constant fluctuation) it slides against the plastic rather than my clothes - a new sensation, different rather than good or bad. But the bottom line is that I'm several notches more aroused than normal, and I'm constantly trying to bundle Mistress into bed :)"

LOL. So we're off to fuck like bunnies .... I might let him remove the device, then again I might not ... choices .... choices ..

Attending Oz KinkFest - part 1

Sol and I arrived in Melbourne on Thursday, after depositing a very happy Xmas Present at her favorite dog storage facility, where she gets to run free with other dogs on the working farm and have a great time.

Sol arrived mid morning, I flew in late in the evening after an interstate detour. Sol picked me up in our "rent a bomb" and drove us to Natalya's, where we were staying for the entire ten days of OzKinkFest (thank you very VERY much, Natalya and Kaluah :) ). Bed felt wonderful. But only after we'd had some serious quality time meeting Natalya's very beautiful cats.

On Friday Natalya took us shopping at Footscray markets, which was magical. We also saw some lingerie shops that interested sol, lol:


We had a long discussion as to which outfit would suit sol best. We decided that most on this row would look VERY nice indeed:


In the afternoon sol and I had a date at the movies. We love the XP dearly, but having a dog in the car means going to see films takes a bit of organizing, so we were using our trip to Melbourne to catch up on everything on the big screen. We held hands and snuggled, along with other activities I was later required to report to MistressTerra in detail *grin*.

We didn't go to Provocation on Saturday - we needed to be up early on Sunday to help with Fetish Expo. All volunteers had been requested to be there between 7am and 9am. Provocation finished at 3am, LOL.

The Expo was a huge success. All the vendor spaces were taken and by mid afternoon the place was packed. So many familiar faces, including Gallery Serpentine from Sydney, photographer Lucas Messerer and friends who run a kinky B and B outside Melbourne. I could have spent thousands of dollars, I swear. The corsets! The latex! The violet wand kits! Actually the latter were very special, I look forward to talking more to Steel (who was selling them) about them at his Electrical Play workshop on Tuesday night.

Sol and I restrained ourselves, and only purchased some small special somethings for a couple of friends and some medical instruments for ourselves. I thought you might enjoy seeing the fetish inspired cupcake with it's black corset, that I purchased for Natalya:


The business card you can see is from a local queer / kinky bookshop we plan to visit during our time in Melbourne. They had some excellent books at their stall at the Expo. They kindly gave me some of their business cards so I could direct people who attend my strap-on play workshop to their anal / strap-on selection.

Monday morning we again slept in (well its a holiday) then had some great kinky sex. I stripped sol off and placed him sideways on the bed. I directed him to masturbate slowly while I attached clover clamps to his nipples, then sat on his face...

I gave him permission to tongue me. While this was happening, I had a play with our new toys:


I used my other hand to pull sol's balls southward ... hard. It didn't take him long to come. Funny, that :)! I then instructed him to continue going down on me until I came. It was a very pleasant way to start the day.

We had a very late breakfast with Natalya, and had a lovely walk around the area where she lives. Then it was time to get ready for my strapon play workshop, and pick up Clair from D.vice.


D.vice is a local (New Zealand) company. They make extremely high quality strapon harnesses and dildos, which feature prominantly in my BDSM For Beginner's Everything You Wanted to Know About Strap On Play post. As does Sax Leather, who make great leather harnesses. I'd asked Natalya a while back if she thought the D.vice crew might lend a couple of items to me for the workshop (Steve has their dildos on display at his workshop in Byron Bay) and was delighted when she wrote back saying that they'd actually attend and bring some toys.

We picked up Clair at the D.vice store (2-4 Bridge Rd, Richmond ... Punt Rd end), had a look around (wonderful place ... GO!!!) then headed to the workshop venue, a bar named Blue Velvet on Smith St. There was a breath play workshop downstairs, we'd definitely have gone if I'd not been presenting. Both workshops went well. Bella, the organizer, later wrote:

"The beautiful Mz Asha took our breath away at Blue Velvet with a skillshare that was one of the best I have ever attended. A serious topic that was presented with much respect ... And as if that wasn't enough! Blue Velvet was certainly heating up from top to bottom with Mistress 160, Mistress Natalya, {also}, and d.vice raising the roof upstairs with Strap On play! Everything you ever wanted to know about how to safely use, select and drive these rods of pleasure was taught in a fun and open skillshare. Smiles all round as everyone came downstairs for that welcome refreshing drink :) Phew. Huge thank you to Mistress 160 for travelling from Interstate to share some of her wealth of experience with us.

"P.S Please contact me if you wish to contribute to the "Get a bigger cock for Natalya Fund".

The last comment alludes to the rather small green dildo Natalya was wearing in her harness during the workshop. When I caught her playing with it, I clipped one of my tiny torches onto her harness, to highlight any further hands on "activity". LadyTaya later commented "thank you for presenting it;).. had a great time .. i so need one of those lights". !

After the workshop we had drinks with Natalya, Clair, LadyMiamia and slave_to_Lady_M. The latter were a couple I had been in touch with for a while, who regularly read this blog *Ms160 waves*.

Sol and I were very much looking forward to meeting them. Apart from mutual Femdom interests, and the hope they might move up north near us (*hint hint*) I'd recently been in touch with them regarding a CB6000 LadyMiamia had advertised for sale on Fetlife. She had caused great delight to both myself and Natalya with her comment that "My boy is never going to fit into it!!(sorry everyone out there I don't mean to brag!!!)". Natalya had replied "Damn Lady M, that's a heck of an issue to have!".

I'd dropped LadyMiamia a line about the CB6000, as we'd been wanting to try such a device for a while. In response - and I hope she won't mind my quoting private correspondence but I was a bit overwhelmed - she wrote she would like to "donate/give it to you in recognition of all the hard work, long hours and help/advice you (and sol) have freely given".

So we not only had a wonderful evening meeting them, we were given a terrific new toy to remember them by. Which reminds me: a good Femdom friend helped us obtain sol's PA piercing, and I've made jokes ever since that she now owns a bit of sol's privates. Now another lovely dominant friend, LadyMiamia, has helped us obtain sol's everyday chastity device. Hmmm. I love the fact more and more wonderful dominant women are coming to own bits of sol *grin*.

After our new friends headed to their hotel and we had dropped Clair home safely, Natalya, Sol and I headed to St Kilda for a sugar hit at one of the amazing over the top cake shops:


Nothing like a very alcoholic rum baba at midnight to get the sugar levels up, I thought, as I admired our new gift:


I fell into bed planning the week ahead: an electrical play workshop on Tuesday, then helping Mistress Mallice and Bella447 at the Wednesday workshop, then Catheter play on Thursday ... then a weekend of Hellfire Resurrection (where we'd catch up with our new friends again) and Klub Kunst...

But most important of all: with the CB6000, sol's life changed radically from tomorrow morning...

Being kinky is certainly tough these days...

Melbourne's OzKinkFest

Time to head to Melbourne, for Oz KinkFest, if you are an Australian kinkster!

There are an enormous number of events planned over the next ten days, including Hellfire Resurrection IV (at which are performing: Lukas Zpira and Satomi, and The Hanged Man Team, amongst many others), Klub Kunst, Provocation and Fetish Expo, which is at Fitzroy Town Hall:

"The EXPO is a great place to come and find out about alternative lifestyles, to meet and socialise with those with similar interests. We welcome all lifestyles including straight, bi, gay, lesbian, poly, TVs, TSs, Masters, Mistresses, slaves, ponies, maids, pets, ABs and even those that are just mildly kinky or just plain curious.

Our event is open to anyone with an open mind and tolerance of others peoples' lifestyles. Come along to find out about the latest fashions, clubs and events in and around Australia."

You can read about the free to attend KinkFest's workshops and skillshares here. The website states:

"The Melbourne Leather Alliance and OzKinkFest have gathered some of the most experienced and knowledgeable folks from our community who will generously share their experience with us - and two great International presenters who are offering workshops whilst they are here.

"KinkFest 09 sees an unusual and interesting array of skillshares being presented as part of our program. OzKinkFest is proud to be offering this set of skillshares FREE of charge to the community. This is due to the generosity of our presenters, and the venues who are supporting the festival - Blue Velvet Bar, Eagle Leather and Palookaville.

"All of these skillshares and workshops are being presented under the banner of Safe, Sane and Consensual - SSC. We encourage everyone to get educated in their specific areas of kink in order to enjoy them to their fullest - safely.

"The {also} Foundation are supporting our desire to encourage sexual safety and have made a significant commitment towards enhancing sexual health in the community. Their "Take Care Out There" initiative will be a visible and welcomed sponsor of all sexual skillshares. Safe Sex packs and resources will be available to all participants in the skillshares, and are generously provided by also."

Steel and totty from Adelaide are presenting a workshop on Electrical Play on Tuesday 20 Oct.

"Target audience is for people curious about electrical play and interested in learning and experimenting with various devices. Topics covered will include :
* Electrical Safety - how not to fry your partner!
* Types of Electrical Play - 240volt is NOT ok!
* Different devices available
* TENS units - techniques, insertables,do's and don't.
* Violet Wands - myths busted, techniques, attachments.
* Practical sessions.
With numbers limited to 20 participants, there will be plenty of equipment on hand for all to participate and experiment to their heart's content...if you have your own equipment and wish to bring it along and expand your knowledge base, please feel free!"

At the same time Cyppie is holding an Impact Play 101, which also sounds great fun:

"This skillshare is targeted at new Tops/Dominants/Switches who wish to learn more about "How To" administer impact play safely. Skills that will be covered include: Flogging, Caning & Spanking The "how" and "where" of these fun activities and how "Not" to break our toys :)

"This skillshare will be facilitated by our very own Cyppie who has much experience, and a lot of information to share. Some practical activities will be included, so please bring along any impact toys that you would like to learn how to use safely and effectively"

There is a Catheterisation and Urethral Sounds workshop on Thursday 22, don't know who's presenting but I'm definitely attending:

"This is a workshop designed to teach the safe way to perform female catheterisation and how to play safely with urethral sounds on men. We will discuss safety aspects of catheterisation, the different types of catheters that can be used and for what purposes. Why insert a catheter? Now it is in - what can I do with it? There will be a demonstration on female catheterisation. Supplies will be available for purchase"

I'm presenting a strap on sex workshop on Monday night 19 Oct,

"Whether for gender play, prosthetic purposes or expressing kinky desires, a strap-on adds serious fun to sexual and D/s relationships. In this two hour "hands on" workshop for strap-on beginners Mistress160 answers all your questions, including:
• What exactly is a strap-on?
• How do I select one?
• What types of harness / dildos are there?
• What about strap-ons for larger women?
• What about strap-ons for men?
• Novelty styles of strap-on
• Eco friendly styles of strap-on
• And most importantly, how do I actually use the damn thing?
All genders/orientations welcome. Comments from Mistress 160's previous Strap-On play skillshares were "awesome and comprehensive" and "often hysterically funny... I learned as I laughed"

and on Cyber Kink on Wednesday 21 Oct:

Finding your way around kinky cyber space can be a bit hit or miss. It's rare to find someone willing to show you around and actually teach you how to play. But today you are in luck! In this two hour workshop Mistress160 will help you explore the realms of cyber kink and equip you with the skills and confidence to become an active player in forums and chatrooms. We'll discuss:
* where to find online kinky / fetish communities
* practical tips for creating online profiles
* practical hints for finding a partner online (and avoiding online predators)
* coping with online play partner disappearances
* chatroom etiquette
* how to organize a short D/s cam play scene
* cyber aftercare
* places where you can go online for further information

Bummer about presenting Cyber Kink then because otherwise I'd be at another event at Eagle Leather- "a special evening for Women with/without their partners (female or male) co-ordinated and lead by Mistress Mallice and friends"!

I am also the speaker at a Femdom only afternoon tea event on Sunday 25 Oct:

"Adrenachrome and The Sisterhood are proud to present our guest speaker Mistress 160, who will present a talk on how to run a FemDomme high teas and D/s dinner parties, followed by our very own afternoon tea for the ladies. What a lovely way to end Kinkfest 09! Please note this is a Sisterhood event for dominant and switch women only."

There are also workshops - although not free - by Lukas Zpira and Satomi. Satomi will be conducting three levels of Shibari Workshops and Lukas Spira will be presenting his Scarification and Branding Workshop. You can sign up here.

I've attended Lukas' workshop and it was extremely interesting and informative. Satomi of course needs no introduction, everyone into rope agrees she's an amazing teacher ... and her self suspension performances are a joy to watch.

Look forward to seeing you there :)

High Teas + Femdom friends, old and new...

On Sunday afternoon we held a Femdom High Tea at a vanilla high tea venue at Mt Tamborine, a national park area near the Gold Coast in southern Queensland.

This type of event is something I'd started offering organizers interested in one of my Femdom tea party workshops. With small groups, rather than the usual workshop format, it's nicer to go to an actual high tea establishment. Especially if many of the future tea party hostesses attending have no experience with high tea service, style and food.

What made today's event very special was that it was to be with good real time friends from my Fetlife Femdom tea party group.

Sol and I had a two hour drive to the venue. We left home early because we planned to have coffee with a kinky friend visiting from the US, before the high tea. We'd not met real time before. I won't use his Fetlife name or give further details of him because I haven't had a chance to check this post with him - he's currently in transit on his way home - but will add more later if he doesn't mind.

The drive up to Mt Tamborine was wonderful ... up through the hinterland, where there are many small villages and national parks. The weather was quite wild and stormy but the air was warm:


The Xmas Present had the back seat to herself, and spent the trip racing from one side of the car to the other, trying to check out everything else on the road:


One village was having a market day so we stopped, and took the XP for a walk around the market. I love the things you find at such places. I purchased some US army items and an ancient Driza Bone oilskin coat for sub hunting. The Driza Bone has been a part of Australian life since 1898, worn by stockmen, horse riders, sporting teams etc. Now even celebrities wear them. The story goes that:

"In the 1890's, a Scottish sailor named Edward Le Roy who voyaged across the great southern oceans, discovered that the torn sails on his ship could be recycled into long coats and sou'westers (a seaman's weather-proof hat) by painting the canvas material with a mixture of oils. This transformed them into excellent wet weather gear. The word on the land spread about the effectiveness of Le Roy's coats in the wet and Australia's squatters and settlers soon adopted them. The coat was adapted to life on the land by adding a fantail to protect the seat of the horse rider's saddle, leg straps to keep the coat from taking off in strong winds, and extra-long sleeves to protect the wearer when his arms were extended. The coats were so effective and useful for many, that they eventually became known as Driza-Bones, named after the dried and scorched bones of animals in the arid Australian Outback".

I paid $7 for mine, it was a great buy! I also purchased a very practical candelabra to use at night, as we use mainly candle light at night. Also at the market was a French chef, who made us a superb fresh crepe with local ham and cheese and exquisitely flavored mushrooms. I tried not to eat much of it because I knew what was in store that afternoon, but it was very very hard lol.

Back in the car we soon crossed the Queensland border:


It was raining as we ascended Mt Tamborine. We located the venue and installed ourselves at a nearly bakery to wait for our new friend. Much to my delight he turned up in a Wicked camper van. They are based in either Brisbane or Byron Bay, I'm not sure ... but their amazing, brightly painted vans are a common sight around where we live. I love their "Wicked Philosophy":

"We believe in the experience of the roadtrip. It can change the way you see yourself, the world, and the world around you. It’s about getting something out of the journey itself, rather than worrying about how fast you can get to your destination; what’s the hurry? A roadtrip is a philosophy of life, a way of learning about yourself, an experience, a way to test yourself, a way to grow up…the possibilities are endless."

I very much enjoyed meeting our new friend - amongst other shared interests he loves serving at tea parties and I cursed the fact that he was not going to be around for MistressTerra's racing themed tea party next month, which is going to be tremendous fun. We talked for about an hour and then it was time to meet my female friends at the tea house. Because we wanted to continue our conversation we agree to meet in Byron Bay for dinner. I left sol drawing our friend a map, and headed inside, from the wild wet weather to a warm room filled with laughing women.

The next few hours were a great deal of fun. All my kinky friends looked lovely, all dressed up. Whyterose wore pale pink, which perfectly matched the tea room. And the food! What can I say? The food was absolutely exquisite. Here's a photo of what two people shared:


The china and silver gleamed and glowed:


Here's whyterose perusing the detailed tea menu:


It was utterly impossible to eat everything, but the venue was used to this problem and provided pretty boxes for our take home treats:


Although in quite a crowded vanilla environment we were able to discuss tea parties and all things Femdom and kinky. MistressAdira later wrote "a deliciously superb afternoon on a social level and for our taste buds :)", and MistressTerra agreed:

"It was an absolutely delightful afternoon. A lovely mix of feminine personalities, easy free flowing conversations, dainty morsels that seduced our taste buds and exotic teas served in beautiful Royal Albert china and gleaming silver. The cool temperature and showers did nothing to dampen our enthusiasm as we shared and indulged. Thank you to all the Ladies who attended and made it the special occasion for us all that it was".

As sol and I needed to go south to Byron Bay, I was sadly the first to leave. I'm sure the others stayed on for a while. The mist was very heavy as we drove down the mountain and headed down the freeway to Byron Bay. We took our friend to a favorite fish and chips restaurant in Byron, where we enjoyed ourselves for a couple of hours, the XP curled up under the table.

As our friend needed to keep driving towards Sydney we decided to both drive up to Byron's lighthouse to see the lights down the coast, then go our separate ways. I suggested we all go via our car, as I wanted to give my box of high tea treats to our friend - I thought he'd need the sugar on his long drive south. But both he and sol though I meant for him to drive his van around to where we were parked.

He vanished towards where he was parked and we waited around the corner. After a while a wicked camper came by. But was it him??? There are all so decoratively painted, at night it's hard to tell some apart. We couldn't be sure, this one didn't stop or slow or take the lighthouse road. When no other camper van appeared we drove up to the lighthouse and disturbed all the couples parking and snogging up there - but no friend. We drove back into town, did a circuit past where he once was parked, then again back up to the lighthouse. No luck.

Oh no! We didn't have his mobile number and we also had forgotten our own mobile. So we didn't get to say goodbye or even hand over the treats box. We'd just have to eat the tiny sandwiches and cakes on our trip home instead. That was obviously a real hardship.

At 11pm we finally reached home. We carried a sleepy XP in from the car, lit the fire then all tumbled into bed. Lying warm and content, sol and the XP asleep, I recalled not only the beauty of driving through so many stunning landscapes in wild stormy weather, but the added joy of spending quality time with old kinky friends, and new. What a truly magical day. Thank you to all of you who shared it with us :)

The Xmas Present Has A Birthday

The Xmas Present's birthday started out a bit earlier than usual, when she woke sol and myself with her barking at 5am. "What's wrong?", I said, sitting up, bleary eyed. She pointed out the bed platform's window:


"Ah ... the wallabies are back!", said Ms160, "aren't they cute?". The XP sighed. Cute was not perhaps the word she would have applied . Her owners promptly went back to sleep. The XP kept a vigil:


There was something familiar about them ... but she just couldn't make the connection, and eventually went back to sleep...

She finally roused us out of bed at 9am (it WAS a weekend) for a game of tennis ball. Then several more games. Birthdays are like that. Then in the early afternoon whyterose arrived, bearing gifts: a couple of scrumptious rose flavoured cupcakes and a birthday "doggie bag" from the local pet store, with several different types of dried meat: sliced pork trotters, kangaroo salami, pig's ears. I assembled these around one of the cup cakes, and whyterose lit the candle:


We sang happy birthday and whyterose offered the XP some of the dried munchies. She especially liked the kangaroo salami:


There was familiar something about it ... wait! ... ah ha! Connection made! Now she knew what she'd seen through the window, grazing in the dawn - food! The XP couldn't wait to go to bed ... after all more wallabies / kangaroos might be there when she woke up!

"Glow In The Dark" gets a workout....

sol in position for "Glow In The Dark"

Last Monday I decided to give the Glow In The Dark strapon harness a try:


That's not it's name LOL. I can't actually recall the brand. The name stuck after it's encounter with airport security. But in terms of construction, it consists of a large hard plastic glow in the dark dildo permanently attached to a wide white elastic waist band. There are thinner elastic cords that go between the legs.

Hmmm. There was my first problem with the harness: the fact you can't remove the dildo from the harness for cleaning. And white??? Problem No 2: any messy play and you'd have very nasty permanent stains on your white harness.

I also had concerns that the elastic waist band would not support the weight of the dildo:


Which is greatly increased by the fact it contains two batteries to run the vibrator component. So in case I was unable to fuck wearing it we tried the dildo in Sax's Diva Harness:


It certainly fitted in to the harness but Problem No 3: the fact that the white elastic waistband can't be removed means you've got to sort of bundle the band up out of the way, if you try to use the dildo in another harness - you can see sol trying to do this in the photo above.

You can see in the photo about how the harness sits, in the photo below:


It was quite comfortable, and certainly the elastic makes getting in and out fast. BUT then I hit Problem No 4: you can see the vibrator cord and control box tucked into the elastic waistband in that photo. I can tell you right now that that bloody attachment cord became a right pest during play. If I use the harness again I am going to make sure I have some kind of clip for the cord, and hanging container around my neck for the actual control box.

Sol then went through a similar enema routine to my last strapon play post. He was still feeling a little uncomfortable after the second one, so we waited a while. Then sol placed a condom on the dildo and lubed it, and I placed sol into the position I desired:


I have been suggesting people online to use specific positions for first strapon play. I decided to try a position that I haven't been suggesting, that's easy for most people to do: on the bed, knees up, resting on cushions. In sol's case I added some handcuffs to make life more interesting. Next to me was a tray with things I was going to need:


This included lube, loo paper (in case of accidents, and to clean up quickly), sex towels, rubber gloves, condoms etc. I placed a large towel under sol's ass, tucked over his feet. You can also see some veterinary elasticized bandage in the bottom left corner. As this provides great support, and had been so useful as a thigh harness, I had the idea of winding it around the dildo's white waistband and my waist and legs to give more support during fucking, if needed.

I snapped on the gloves, lubed up sol, myself and a small pink vibrator and spent several very pleasant minutes introducing my fingers and the vibrator into sol:


Problem No 5 was that my close proximity to the bed, when positioned on my knees, meant that the dildo head kept brushing against the towel, and had to be relubed before entry.

However when I came to insert the dildo sol informed me his lower intestine was still feeling full. Aware that we might encounter a bit of a rush of water on withdrawal of the dildo we decided to call a halt to proceedings... sometimes it just ain't gonna happen....

We picked up again the following weekend: everything the same as above. Except this time I had no problem with entry of the dildo. I pushed in slowly, to the point of discomfort, then exited, then re-entered, this time without discomfort. I was very impressed with sol taking the entire dildo, as it was quite large and hard.

Problem 6 was that I discovered I was slightly incorrectly positioned. Next time before entry, I'll kneel behind sol, get my knees in the right place on the bed for complete insertion, and make sure I don't move from that position.

Fully inserted, I thrust gently for a while. I needed to keep my hand wrapped around the base of the dildo to keep it in position. I was just about to turn on the vibrator when sol informed me it was time to come out. It wasn't his ass so much as his knees and neck, in that particular position. Talking the scene over later we think that if I'd told sol at this point that the dildo was fully in and that I was about to turn on the vibrator, he'd had lasted a few minutes longer. But I didn't think to do that, being focused on removing the dildo quickly.

Afterwards, cleaning was a bit of a pain, as the lube was all over the waistband (the section where it attaches to the dildo) and I nearly forgot to remove the batteries - they didn't get wet but possibly could. Using a condom certainly cut down on mess.

So, my final thoughts on this harness:

I purchased this harness as an example of a cheap style that was unlikely to work. I planned to use it in my strapon play workshops, to show why this style doesn't work ... and I think that's a perfect fate for it.

It looks good prior to play, the cock juts out nicely, and it's a nice large cock. But the elasticized waistband doesn't give the support needed during penetration, the cock is very hard and the head round (makes penetration harder) and cleaning is a bitch.

Don't buy one like this, readers.
