Breath

I'm sure everyone, including myself, has noticed my lack of reviews. It's not for lack of products, but rather lack of time. I can't get into specifics because of privacy laws, but to say I've been busy at work is an understatement. I come home & often space out for days on end. I still haven't learned to cope with the ICU environment. I'm getting there though. Things with Aidan have been up and down. We're still very much in love, but situations with his family have put me at a breaking point. Put on top of that I'm a full time student pursuing my BSN. Stress much?

What I'm basically trying to say is we packed up my convertible 2 hours ago and are heading to the Sunshine state for some rest & relaxation. And maybe Mickey Mouse. We leave 6 hours from now. I'll be gone until just before Christmas, but when I get back, watch out! I hope this break from reality will help get me back into reviewing, back into sex, and most importantly- help me feel like myself again. So until then, have a good one. ;)

EdenFantasys: Mystic Wand

Initial Lust: I wanted something to replace my Hitachi. Let's face it- the thing is too damn big. You're attached to a wall. And there is no escape. I loved my Acuvibe Mini, that is, until it started only lasting for 5 minutes on a charge. The challenge to orgasm before the vibrator died was frustrating. When I saw the Mystic Wand I was flabbergasted. Power - On 4-AA batteries? Could it be?? I was on a mission to find out.

First Impressions: This thing is small! It fits in a small bag and hides well in my purse & my luggage- something that is important to me as I bounce between houses during the week. I was surprised how easy it is to handle, to maneuver. The head flexes quite well. The settings also blew me away. Suddenly there are choices! No High/Low like the Hitachi. Actual functions other than a solid vibrations. It was elated for this thing to finally meet my clit. See the below wordless video that shows the size, settings, and the flexibility of the head.



Specs/Care/Cleaning: One of my favorite parts of this toy is the fact that while the body is plastic (textured- making it easy to hold), the head is silicone. Sanitary, easy to clean, clings to my skin oh-so-perfectly, silicone. I simply wipe the head off with a non rinse toy cleaner and I'm set to go. (It should be noted that I'm greedy and don't share my toys). Of course this toy isn't silent, but it's exactly the noise level I'd expect for a toy of it's strength. It could be heard through thin walls on it's highest setting, but you'll probably be moaning more loudly than the vibrator.

O-Power: How I love you, oh Mystic Wand. It didn't take me long to become a fan. After turning on a few of the settings and using the friction against my clit, I had a good, solid orgasm after only 3 minutes of use. And unlike the Hitachi orgasms I've had in the past, this felt good, rather than overpowering. The buttons were easy to hit, even during use, but not so sensitive I found myself accidentally bumping them. It's safe to say that this vibrator is awesome for solo use.
But for partner use? Just as great! It is small enough that if Aidan is in the right position, I can still use this in missionary. If Aidan wants to fuck me with a dildo while I concentrate on my clit, the small head makes this possible.

Final Impressions: I've always been a bit skeptical of Vibratex products, not really sure why, I'm now convinced they can produce high quality sex toys. While my Hitachi will still have a home beside my bed because of the attachment options, the Mystic Wand is my new go-to portable vibrator. It's small, silicone, can be transported anywhere, and only needs batteries to run (and works well on rechargeables). It's hard not to love.

Holiday & Birthday Wishlist!

I was supposed to be born on Christmas. A shot of drugs to stop my mom's emergent c-section and they then cut me out two days later on the 27th (lovely, eh?). So the holidays are a way of me getting both necessary items & fun stuff. But for me, this is it! One time a year. Pow bam boom, done in two days!

So I'm borrowing ideas! This list if from the lovely Epiphora (edited from Essin Em) so I thought I'd join in on the fun!

• Make a post listing your wishes. If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info.
• Visit the lists of others. If you see a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make someone’s wish come true.
• You needn’t spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn’t to put people out, it’s to provide everyone a chance to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not — it’s your call.

1. Like many bloggers before me, I'd like a banner somewhere. Anywhere. Read a review of mine you liked? Tweet it. I'm also going to start posting more general things about my sex life and would love feedback and suggestions (thank you all who replied to my post, Limits.)

2. 8 gauged plugs. I have only one pair of really pretty ones (they are glass and come down in a swirl). Only thing is that they can't be double flared.

3. Anything on my Lust List.

4. Lelo Mona (purple) or Ina (green), Joque harness (black, Size B) & the Liberator Esse in Funky Charcoal make me drool.

5. Funky homemade necklaces. I love necklaces that have a simple strand then charm(s) that hang. I want a really unique one. & I have an obsession with skeleton style keys.

6. Books. Used, destroyed, I'm not picky. I like fiction.




I'll come back & edit this over time, as I think of things. Leave a comment or email me if you can hook me up with anything & leave a comment to your own list to see if I can return the favor. :) (please note, I will be on vacation from December 10-22- I really am not ignoring you!!)

Limits

Aidan has a few limits, a short list, but still a few things. Scat play, urine, cutting, piercing, torture/rape scenarios. Rimming also happens to fall on there, pegging, and to be honest - he's kind of phobic with all anal play.

Retrieved from The Alexa Collection.

While this would be all fine & dandy, anal play is one of those areas I really want to explore. When he's going down on me, I secretly wish he'd go lower. When he's fingering me, his thumb on my clit, I wish he'd relax his pinkie so it'd touch my asshole. I get if he doesn't want me doing things to him, but this is him doing things to me. I've expressed to him my desire to explore more, but he isn't. I've gotten out plugs and he plays along, but he's obviously not aroused and once lost an erection when he realized I had a plug in.

I understand his limits, I really do. I get the cutting/piercing (which is to my own benefit related to my psych history), I get most of his limits. What I don't get is the anal. Anal play is very pleasurable, so why avoid it? I respect the fact he isn't into pegging, but we're talking about my ass & my pleasure here. I'm just curious, but curiosity killed the cat, and it may kill the sex blogger. He has such a phobia about it and has made such comments, that even if he were suddenly willing, I'm afraid I'd be the one not willing- completely absorbed in my self-conscious state.

Rather than me going on for pages... what do you, my readers, suggest? I'd love to explore further with him, but he isn't into it. I'm all about respecting his limits, but at the same time I feel like he should be willing to fulfill my desires. I admittedly have limits, but to be quite honest, I'd probably at least explore anything at least once if it'd satisfy him. Because you can't knock it til you try it, correct?

I'm frustrated and don't quite know where to go from here. We have an amazing sex life, and I am beginning to feel guilty for wanting to explore. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

LoveDreamer: Darque Nurse

Initial Lust: Well, Halloween has come and gone, but thanks to a late arriving package I was able to wear this costume to a late Halloween party. I blame customs, evidence below. Either way I rocked out my Darque nurse costume and have developed my opinions. So happy looking & reading.

The nurse costume was innocent enough- but I don't think they were fooled by the Lily or the Niagara!

First Impressions: The quality of this was better than I expected, which is good. I own a few Coquette pieces now and was debating on which size. I wanted a L/XL, but my only options were the regular Darque Nurse (S/M or M/L) or the Diva Darque Nurse (1x/2x). Because of my boobs, LoveDreamer helped me pick the Diva size. I was nervous trying it on. It fit pretty well, my breasts definitely needed the Diva size, but I wished it were a bit snugger in the waist. I cinched up the red ribbon pretty snugly the night I wore it to help define my waist it a bit more. But overall, I'd say the sizing is pretty accurate. The skivvies/bottom were too big on me, but I expected that as I have a small bum and am below the sizing chart. The pasties are cute, but are way too noticeable through the thin fabric. I've used them alone, but it just looks weird with the costume.

I have a pair of cotton/lace panties underneath the actual bottoms. The actual bottoms are crotchless and open where the stitching is.

Specs/Care/Cleaning: Because of the lace up ribbon, I opted to hand wash both pieces of these and then hung them up to dry. It worked well with no fading in the fabric and the fabric retained it's shape well. The pasties are pretty much done after one use, unless you find another adhesive to use (I've used eyelash glue in the past)

O-Power: So I ventured out as a Darque nurse. We had unseasonably warm weather thankfully, as the fabric on this is thin and wouldn't have provided much warmth. I carried wrist restraints with me as my partner had gone as a mental patient. We were quite the scene, me in black & him in white. I got a lot of compliments on the costume itself. I had thought to run a bobbypin up the back of the nurses cap which kept it upright all night long (I snapped the part of the bobby pin that would have been on the fron off).

The real fun started once Aidan & I got home. He thought we were going to sleep. I wanted to fuck. We were already costumed so it was the first time we really got into real role playing. I shoved him around like the bad patient he had been. I had swapped the panties I had on for the crotchless ones included. Strattling his face was quite hot as I felt fully clothed, but his mouth against my clit reminded me otherwise.

Final Impressions: Needless to say, I'm now convinced costumes are not just for Halloween. I am happy with both the quality, selection, and multi-purpose use I was able to get out LoveDreamer's Coquette costume offerings. I can't wait to see which costume will spark my next role playing adventure.

Thanks LoveDreamer for the fabulous Diva Darque Nurse costume!
