Confessions Of A Slut

This weeks entry in the dildo category is Captain from Pleasure works. Captain is a realistic dildo made of 100% silicone. A flared base allows for usage with either a harness or toy mount. The base does not act as a suction cup so if you are looking for something hands free and you don't have a toy mount this dildo isn't for you.

Boss From Fun Factory Boss is usually a word that I utter with vile contempt. But when referring to the Fun Factory dildo it is said with praise.

This pretty common sense but you would not believe the amount of people I have encountered that were in disbelief that sex toys needed to be cleaned. These are the same people that would buy a toy and use it right out of the packaging.

Sensation Warming Lubricant From ID Lubricants Recently I went on a lubricant buying spree. Considering that I engage in some form of sexual behavior every day (masturbation, sexual intercourse etc) I like to have a nice sized stock pile of lube on hand. I figured this shopping spree I would include a few that might also be able to be used as massage oil so I picked up a 2.2 oz bottle of the Sensation Warming Lubricant from ID Lubricants. This water based lube is compatible with all materials including latex which allows for multiple uses. It has a faint cinnamon odor and taste which I did not find to over powering or unpleasant. Its ingredient list is rather long which caused me some pause as I do have sensitive skin. Water/aqua/eau, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Caffeine, Menthoxypropanediol, Niacin, Paullinia Cupana (guarana) Leaf Extract, Vanillyl Butyl Ether, Carbomer, Edta, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Peg-45m, Tetrahydroxypropyl Ethylenediamine, Methylparaben, Sodi...

Having a serious mental illness means that I have to take medicine to manage my symptoms. I have seen lots of bloggers talk about the sexual side effects of the medicine that is used to treat anxiety and depression but few have discussed matters relating to what are known as SMI's or serious mental illness.* Often times the medications used to treat SMI's has devastating effects on sexual function. This includes loss of sexual desire and difficulty or inability to achieve orgasm. For men it mean both those and erectile dysfunction. There really isn't a single solution to help over come these problems. The only advice I can give is to explore sexually. Don't be afraid to add sex toys to the mix. Think of them as extensions or things that compliment sexual activity rather than replacements. If you are the partner of someone who having sexual side effects due to medication please be patient with your partner, don't place blame and remember we need these medications...

I wrote this piece for my other blog but thought that I would link out to here. Sex and Mental Illness

I am asking that my readers have patience. In the near future this blog will be active once again. My mental illness has taken a lot out of me as has the treatment. I have multiple reviews in various stages of writing and editing and even a few articles. At this time I have been more focused on my other blog Of Melancholia, Mania and Psychosis .

A little over a year and a half ago I went on a little spending spree over at Liberator. Due to events that were out of my control I never got around to reviewing any of the items that I bought. I figured better late then never.  If my memory is correct I purchased multiple items including storage bags, a dildo and the Bon Bon.  Of the two storage bags that I purchased Sadly one of them in no longer available on Liberators site but I am still including the review in case it ever comes back in stock. Vespa and Hexi are part of the Couture Cases that are put out by Liberator. I was pretty excited when I first saw them, and quite honestly wished that I could afford the whole line. They are the perfect storage solution. Like Dante both Vespa and Hexi are made of denim and twill. The denim is black in color while the twill part comes in different colors. Vespa The Vespa's measurements are 10.5 inches x 9 inches. This size allows for ample storage and...

If you have sex toys that need stored and are looking for a sack type storage, the Toy Storage Bag from Toynary is a great solution. Extremely affordable, it won't eat into your budget and this quality made pouch can hold a lot. With a total length of 11 inches (roughly about 9 ½ inches when cinched closed) and a width of 7 inches this toy bag can fit a variety of different sized items. If you need a storage bag for some butt plugs, or a rabbit vibrator or a medium to small sized dildo this bag is perfect. You just might want something to store some of your smaller BDSM items like cuffs, chains and rope this bag will be able to accommodate your items and perhaps still have room for a some other toys. Larger toys such as paddles, whips and spreader bars will not fit inside this. It is made of nylon and both layers are water resistant, per manufacturers claim. The outer part is black and has a silky texture to it while the inner lining is white. The white par...

This past year has been a wild year. My symptoms progressively got worse as time went on, and after seeking full help for them I walked away with a brand new diagnosis, Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar sub-type. This new diagnosis gave me some insight as to why treatment for Bipolar disorder alone never really worked and why I seemed to suffer from extreme paranoia and mild to moderate delusions outside of mood episodes. If you are curious as what exactly Schizoaffective is here is a brief description that is provided by  Mental Health America  Schizoaffective disorder is characterized by persistent symptoms of psychosis resembling schizophrenia with additional periodic symptoms of mood (or affective) disorders .  In relation to my illness this means that while I show the extreme mood episodes that are commonly associated with Bipolar I also present with additional symptoms in between these episodes that are closer to schizophrenia. Right now the medications...

When Two Worlds Collide  Relationship and sex advice columnists always stress that not only are basic mutual interests essential but sexual compatibility is also a crucial factor for having a healthy, loving and satisfying relationship as a whole. That if one or both partners are not on the same page that there will be dissatisfaction which will lead to resentment and eventually a break down of the relationship.

Healthy Expression of Sexuality and some Tips I know that last year I wrote about this topic. I merely scratched the surface in that post and this one has been sitting as a draft waiting to get finished since last Spring (damn you mood episodes which robbed me of so much in the last year)

Mental Illness

Eden Toy Case From Eden Toys

Casual Sex * First off let me begin by stating that casual sex is not for everyone. Some people may find that need an emotional attachment with a person in order to engage in sexual activity or some form of a commitment.

Fun Factory Tiger **** * I am enamored with Fun Factory. Maybe it is because they are a German company (I have thing for Germans and Germany in general) Or maybe it is because of the quality of their products which never disappoint.

Sex Positive If there is anything that I hate more in life it is trend following. Maybe my dislike for such attitudes comes from the rebellious days of my youth or maybe it rooted in my firm belief that trends are quite frankly stupid and sometimes can have harmful effects on some people.

Oral Sex: Sucking Dick

As any reader of my blog could have guessed, my toy box is constantly expanding. This means that besides keeping a close eye on spending I am also constantly on the look out for storage ideas. In an earlier post I covered the various ways that I store my toys from the bags that my come with them, to boxes and make-up cases. This past September I found myself with a little extra on hand cash and a strong wanting of The Tantus Plunge Paddle. After considering my options I went on over to Liberator and placed an order. Since the cost of the Tantus Plunge was below the minimum needed for free shipping (and I still had extra cash) and I tossed on a few more items including two of The Couture Toy Cases and also grabbed the Dante Denim toy bag since it was being offered as a free promotional gift with orders over $75. Yes I am aware of the fact that make-up bags are cheaper (I can usually pick them up for a few dollars) but I was very curious about the Couture Bags and the one w...

Pictures. I love having them taken. I love posting them for others to see.
