Review: The Wahl Massager

The Wahl Massager

As one of the approximately 8 men on the plant that enjoys the Hitachi Magic Wand (you can read my review it here btw) as much as the average women does I was extremely eager to get my hands on the Wahl massager and all I have to say is…. Get this thing now! Stop reading. Now!…ordered it yet?… Ok now that you have ordered the Wahl and are patiently waiting for it to arrive (correct?), what exactly are you in for? The Wahl is the new reigning king of perverted full-body massagers surpassing even the mighty Hitachi. With two speeds, which are both powerful but feel radically different, seven massager heads to experiment with, and relatively quiet operation, this toy is a must have. Read on for more.

The Whal massager

The Whal massager

Design, Dimensions and Operation

The Wahl is gun shaped massager the body of which is about 8 inches long and is about an inch wide at the handle and about 3” wide at the head (not counting any attachments) the power cord is a generous 9 feet. Due to the gun shaped design, the toy may be hard to wield for some users. Most of the toy’s weight is concentrated on the top of the toy, this weight imbalance may pose a problem for some users such as those with wrist problems. The toy does have two groves on the head that you could use to grip it that way if you want. A large blue slider easily switches the toy from “0-Off” to speed “I-Low” to speed “II-High”; the slider is also slightly rough and has a single raised ridge in the center making it extremely easy for your fingers to hold on to. The slider is extremely easy to switch, if you want to go straight to high or turn if off quickly the slider slides up and down with ease.

One benefit to this toy has is that like all repurposed full-body massagers nothing about this toy says “sex toy”; making it incredibly discreet. In addition, compared to the Hitachi, the Wahl is even more discreet. Many already know of the Hitachi’s secret life as a sex toy that it might arouse suspicion even in the common population. However, the Wahl has yet to receive such a lascivious reputation, although if there is any justice in the universe it will quickly gain such a reputation. (Don’t worry I can handle this review becoming quickly outdated, spread the Word of Wahl!) Better yet for us males many people don’t know vibrators period can be used on the male body; unless your friend/family/coworkers are as perverted as you are no one is going to suspect the “muscle” your massaging with this is in between your legs.

Overall, the design worked well for me allowing me to hit all the desired spots and operate the toy with ease. Since this is a corded massager, there is no need for batteries although being tied to an outlet may be a con for some people. It should go without saying but this toy is not water proof and should NEVER be used near water. Even the awesome Wahl’s orgasms aren’t worth electrocution.

Lastly, this toy is relatively quiet for all the power it packs; you can hear it under the sheet but not through a locked door.  The only time it’ll make a lot of noise if you bend some of the attachments the wrong way and they start rattling against the plastic of the body, although this is a sign you should reposition anyway as you might bend and break something. In terms of power both setting are very strong and I’ll go over them more below.

The toy comes with seven different attachments shown in the pic below. 1) General body massager 2) Knuckle joint massage 3) Scalp massager 4) Facial massager 5) Deep muscle massager 6)  Muscle kneading massage 7) Spot application massage.

The Wahl's Seven Attachments

The Wahl's Seven Attachments

Materials: Cleaning and Safety Concerns.

The body of the toy is made hard plastic and each attachment is made out of PVC (a more observant sex toy review  than I pointed out that each attachment has the word PVC printed on them just in case you forget); these PVC attachments are generally hard although some of the thinner attachment do have a bit of give to them. PVC unfortunately cannot be sterilized for sharing so use a barrier (condoms) on the thing if you’re going to be sharing the toy. General cleaning can be done via soap and water. Note that some of the attachments are harder to clean then others the scalp massager with all it ridges for example.  However, as you’ll see below getting fluids on it is not a big problem for me. The attachments are compatible with all lubes if you want to put some on them (again remember the toy isn’t water resistant so be careful to put only a bit on the tip of the attachment).

Another safety concern one should keep in mind is these type of vibrators can over heat if you are using them under a lot of sheets or pillows or if you use the massager for an extended period of time (the manual recommends not using the toy for more than 20 minutes at a time). Lastly, according to the manufacturer we are all living life on the dangerous side as the manual says not to use it on the genital areas… I think I’ll risk it :lol: .

Pleasure and Use

Ok now that we have those boring specifications out of the way, let go on to the fun stuff. There are two matters of technique that I should explain first. The first thing is that I should mention is I don’t put the Wahl directly on my flesh in most cases there is usually some thin fabric (i.e. my boxers) separating me from the toy.

Secondly, I need to explain the concept of male multiple orgasm. It is ejaculation not orgasm itself that has a refractory period in men; all you need to do have multiple orgasms as a male is to find out how to separate the two events. I have found many ways to do this anal play, Kegel exercises, but when it comes to vibrators the key is in the placement. Vibrations on the cockhead, anus, and perineum can all induce non-ejaculatory orgasm (and thus multiple orgasm) in me while stimulation on the shaft will yield ejaculatory orgasm, the Wahl delvers on all accounts. After my experiences with the Hitachi, this is the type of results I would expect from massager type vibrator but there are a few things, which make this a cut above the rest.

The first is two vibration settings that feel very different from one another. The first is an intense surface buzz similar to a Hitachi on High, the second is a deep throbbing vibration like “Yes I want a jackhammer on my genitals” type of throbbing (and yes, yes you do). I’ve never had a toy with such radically different vibration settings before. The second “jackhammer” setting is the deepest vibration I have experienced thus far in my time reviewing toys. Although I like both settings this high is the one I use most of the time and is the one I am talking in the remainder of the review unless I mention otherwise. One benefit of the high setting is they if I put it on one of my non-ejaculatory multiple orgasm zones (i.e the cockhead) enough vibrations will be transmit to the ejaculatory orgasm zones that it will give my non-ejaculatory orgasm with some ejaculatory orgasm “flavor” without actually bring me to ejaculatory orgasm. Awesome! If I could only have one form of vibration for the rest of my life it would be the Wahl’s high setting. Be cautioned thou that both of these setting are strong which may be much for a beginner (probably more so for females as the average clit is going to be more sensitive than the average cock).

The second is the attachments. These seven little attachments allow you easily experiment with different surfaces areas and different amounts of pressure. Here is the run down:

General Body Massage: This is basically a cup shaped attachment with a wide rim. I like this because I can basically cup it around my cock head getting stimulation around a good size are of the head. As standard massage it does work well and pretty much any wear on the body (including the perineum, balls and the rest of the cock if we are going back to perv-land).

Knuckle Joint Massage: This is a triangle attachment which, as it name implies, is designed to massage in between the joints (and it works surprisingly well for that). You can use just the edge of this attachment to provide relatively concentrated stimulation to your desired point or use its flat side to increase surface are and have more diffuse vibrations. Because of this, I like this attachment for when I want to be able to switch between more focuses and stimulation that is more diffuse without having to switch attachments. This also work well to massage the anus it wedging as it itself comfortably between the checks (use a condom and make sure not to actually insert the toy into the anus)

Scalp Massage: This attachment is my least favorite and I find it best for it non-pervert function as a scalp massager. It has three rings of hard little fingers; putting it on the genitals just feels weird to me. Although I did find something interesting while testing it out, if I put the Wahl on low and run it across my funny bone I burst out laughing. Something you might want to try on a ticklish partner.

Facial Massager: This is the widest attachment and thus the one that going to produces the most diffuse vibrations. I find it to work well all around both as a sex toy and as a non-sex toy massaging head. One thing I like to do with this is what I refer to below as “duel wielding” (sandwiching my cockhead between this and another massager). The width makes it easy to keep the cock sandwiched in between this and another massager. This attachment also works will in conjunction with the low setting to massage the testicles (or on high to torture the testicles)

Deep Muscle Massage: This attachment lives up to it name and works well for deep massage. The perverted application of this is that this is my favorite attachment for perineum stimulation; although it works well anywhere you want deep stimulation.

Muscle Kneading Massage: This is my favorite to use for general non-sexual body massage. It works well for perverted application as well. I personally like to use it on the perineum.

Spot Application Massage: This is the most intense of the attachments, since the vibrations are concentrated on the smallest surface area. Although a word of caution this attachment can be downright bruising, so be careful with it. This will work well on any part of the body as along you can handle the intensity. If you like external anal stimulation ,this attachment’s small size will work will for squeezing between the checks to massage the anus (again with a barrier and externally only).

These attachment provid a lot of variety, although there is might bit of a learning curve to find which combination of attachment and speed works best for you. The only thing perhaps missing from this toy is a large Hitachi styled ball attachment, which would make it compatible with all the lovely Hitachi attachment that are available on the market. Although on that note, one excellent use for these massager type vibrators is using them to vibrate other toys. For example putting this on the base of a silicone dildo while it is inserted inside of you. I really like doing it allows me to feel some of those intense throbbing high setting vibration internally. It may not work as well as if there was something like the Jollies Hitachi attachment that could work for this but it’ll do.

Duel Wielding and Other Fun Applications

In my Hitachi review I wrote about how I loved to use this toy in conjunction with other toys (massager on the perineum + a masturbator on the cock; using the massager to vibrate another toy as I mentioned above etc.) those all apply here as well but after getting the Wahl, I have a new method …Duel Wielding. Basically, I use two massager type vibrators at once. This produces some very intense orgasms so intense I wrote a whole post describing these duel wielding techniques (and even twittered about it). I’ll let the linked post go in to detail about the various duel-wielding techniques I’ve found but to quickly summarize, some highlight. You can use the two on different points of the body such as perineum and the cockhead to produce male multiple orgasm from two different point  or on the cockhead and the shaft to produce several non-ejaculatory via one while the other brings you to an intense ejaculatory orgasm.  Or you can use the two on the same point (i.e.  two massager on the cockhead) for unbelievably intense non-ejaculatory orgasm. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

Although I’ve already mentioned this above it doesn’t hurt to mention again that this toy works perfectly well as a normal body massager. Which means you can use it as foreplay, to relax you or your partner after a hard day of work etc. Lastly, this toy even has implications for BDSM style play as it can be used for forced orgasm play or cock and ball torture. The amount of versatility this toy has makes it absolutely excellent value.

Who is it for?

The only people I would not recommend the Wahl to are those that dislike strong vibrations or novices (as the vibrations might be too strong for them). This should be a serious consideration for most anyone else. Although it may not be the best two for a novice due to it potently overwhelming power anyone wanting more power should put this toy on their list. In addition, for those with a little experience the 2 very different vibration modes combined with all the various attachments provides a vast amount of exploration to figure out exactly what you like most. Lastly, if you want to see just how different vibrations can be from one another I cannot think of a better case study the Wahl.

Packaging and Storage

The Wahl

The Wahl's Packaging Front View

This toy comes in a cardboard book with a picture of the Wahl on the front and a picture of the Wahl and its 7 attachments on the back. Inside in addition to the Wahl and its attachments, you will find a user manual that explains the vibrator’s non-perverted uses in both English and Spanish. You could use the box to store the toy and it attachments, it is just a standard cardboard box after all. Although the toy so discreet I just leave it out in the open… near an outlet… ready to go. (Did I make it clear I love this toy yet?). On the topic of storage it is mighty be a good idea to take the attachment off when not in use leaving them on might overtime result in them losing their snug fit to the head. Also it may seem obvious but just a reminder: never store this toy where it might get wet. You might want to have the plastic bag or have your own ready to store the attachments so they do not go rolling around and risk getting lost.

The Wahl's Packaging Back View

Being a repurposed back massager; the packaging is completely discreet and will not arouse any suspicion. Making this a good gift giving option for anyone you know who needs some help with all those relaxing all those “muscle aches” (or just muscle aches without quotation as it is good at it original purpose).

Closing Thoughts

This is my new favorite toy knocking the Hitachi out of the number one spot. This toy has the best vibration speed I’ve found; the attachment give the toy excellent versatility (including using it for it mundane functions) and it discreet on top of that. The highest praise I can give to this toy is that I know that there is a version of the Wahl with heat, it is unfortunately not currently available from my sex shop of choice, but if it were, it would be in my shopping chart. Yes, the Wahl is so awesome I actually want two of them…now what are you waiting for go get one!

Vibrator Duel Wielding

While writing up my review of the incredibly awesome Wahl massager, I discovered a new way of playing with my toys that is so awesome it needs to be described in its own post…vibrator dual wielding or considering the Wahl’s gun like shape maybe I should call it vibrator akimbo, either way it is intense. I’ve divided my duel welding techniques into two categories “concentrated fire” and “two targets”; although I writing this as a male some of these techniques mainly those in the “two targets” category should work on a female if you replace the world cock with the word clit. Lastly, I use my two favorite toys the Hitachi magic wand and the aforementioned Wahl but these methods should work with almost any two massager-type vibrators. Let get duel wielding…

The Wahl Massager and the Hitachi Magic Wand

My Duel Wielding Implements of Choice: The Hitachi Magic Wand and The Wahl Massager

Method 1: Concentrated fire. The two vibrators concentrating their power on a single point. Those that have read my pervious posts know that the cockhead is the magic spot for me in regards to having non-ejaculatory, male multiple orgasms with vibrators; while placing them on the shaft will yield ejaculatory orgasms. Putting to this into practice along with this concentrated fire technique, I can have some very intense orgasms of both varieties

First let’s talk talking about sandwiching the shaft of my cock between the two of them; this will yield a single intense ejaculatory orgasm. While this is obviously nice, the real fun comes from sandwiching my cockhead in between the two. The orgasms from this method are insanely intensely orgasms of the non-ejaculatory variety. I even tweeted about it. The great thing about this is when I’m ready to ejaculate and finally cum come, I simply move the second vibrator down to my shaft and get reader for the ejaculatory finisher. However, for maximum intensity, I only move the secondary vibratory down slightly towards my shaft thereby slowly driving me to the ejaculatory orgasm; all the while, the primary vibrator is still bringing me to non-ejaculatory orgasm. The orgasms this produces especially the final ejaculatory orgasm are INCREDIBLY FUCKING INTENSE. (Yes that merited all caps; if this methods works for you the way it did for me you will understand.)

Method 2: Two vibrators, two targets. Using the vibrator on two different places. Using one vibrator on the shaft and one on the head as the “finishing blow” in the concentrated fire method above is one way of using two vibrators on two different spots. However, I’m usually thinking of spots which are more bit more distal. My favorite way of doing this is one vibrator on the cock on one on the perineum; perineum stimulation also gives me non-ejaculatory orgasm so this method provides non-ejaculatory stimulation from two points. Although you can obviously use this on any two erogenous zone: one stimulating the cock and one stimulating the opening of the anus (some of the Wahl attachment are good for this); one stimulating the balls (shades of cock and ball torture and one on the cock) …just use your imaginations. You can also use one vibrator indirectly by having it vibrate another toy. One cool thing I found is if I have a dildo or certain plugs inside me I can angle the Hitachi (or the Wahl with some of it wider attachments) so that in addition to stimulating my premium it hit the base of the dildo or plug sending some of its vibrations thought the toy. If your duel wielding while doing this it also most like faux tri welding, which leads me to…

Tri wielding…no I don’t have three hands but with some ingenuity you can manufacture a third hand. I have a post in my drafts folder called “the poor man’s orgasm harness”, to keep it short I basically tie the Hitachi in place. Using this it is like having a third hand leaving your other hands; to do whatever you want. The possibilities here are endless: One Hitachi tied in place plus one hand thrusting a dildo anally and one using the Wahl on the perineum? One hand thrusting a dildo while the Wahl and the “third hand” use the concentrated fire technique on the cockhead or maybe just three vibe tri-point concentrate fire on the cockhead? Or maybe you just want to tri-wield so you have one hand free to twitter ;-) . Although I’m writing as a male, as have no way of knowing for sure, I assume that a female wearing Hitachi orgasm harness would have some fun tri wield options at her disposable as well.

But wait there’s more…before I finished my experiments in multiple-vibratory wielding techniques; I decided to follow the mythbusters mantra “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing.” (Maybe this mantra can also explain my fixation on group sex and gangbangs? ) Here is my attempt to see how many buzzy things I can stick on or in my body at once: A vibrating anal probe for internal anal stimulation, Hitachi on the cockhead via the poor man’s orgasm harness, vibrating cockring on the cock, the Wahl on the perineum and a vibrator running along my shaft.

The result of the vibrator overkill experiment? Most of the vibrations were overshadowed by the intensity of the Hitachi and the Wahl, but they clearly still had an effect…a major effect.. Usually I go for three or more non-ejaculatory orgasm in a session like this however in this case I could only go for two…the first orgasm was awesome, the second was mind-bending devastatingly intensity, I had to turn off the vibes because I couldn’t take anymore. Even more amazing because these non-ejaculatory orgasms don’t result in a loss of erection I always need to end these vibrator multiple orgasm sessions with an ejaculatory orgasm. In this case, there was no need the mind bender was enough. Scarcest thing is I can think of ways to ramp up the vibratory overload even more. The first get some more powerful vibes secondly get some vibrating nipple calms; thirdly do this entire thing while lying on a vibrating massage cushion of some short…ahahaha!

So that concludes today’s lesson in vibrator duel wielding. Your assignment for tonight is to practice your newfound, techniques although you may want to have an EMT standing by to revive you ;-)

P.S. Is should have my Wahl review up tomorrow or the day after.

Review: Ryder

The Ryder by Tantus

Cut to the chase: In short, this is a simple but excellent butt plug: filling; easy to insert; stays in place; made of body safe materials. Like a true master, this Ryder doesn’t go for anything showy or flashy and instead aims to do the simple with (near) falseness execution and effectiveness. Read ahead for more.

The Ryder silicone butt plug

The Ryder by Tantus

Materials: Cleaning and Safety Concerns

This toy like all Tantus plugs is made of 100% platinum silicone, which is non-porous, hypoallergenic, phthalates and latex free and can be easy sterilize (which is essential if you are going to be sharing the toy). To sterilize the toy, wash it with a 10% bleach solution; boil the toy for several minutes or wash it in your dishwasher on the top rack sans-any detergent. To clean without sterilizing it, just use soap and water or a toy cleaner. The only down side to silicone is that it can have a bad reaction with silicone lubes possibly damaging the toy. Use only water-based lubes or at least do a test patch of silicone-based lubes on the bottom of the toy to see if the lube and the toy will have a reaction. Silicone is a durable material that with minimal care can last a lifetime; so no special storage precautions are need for this toy (although silicone dose tend to be a bit of a lint magnet).

Design and Dimensions

The Ryder is torpedo shaped plug, with a total length of 4.25” and an insertable length of 3.75”. The toy has a moderate diameter of 1.4”. The base is just under 2.5” inches across (2 3/8” by my measurements) and 1” wide. One odd thing about this base, which I wouldn’t have even noticed if another review didn’t comment on it, is that one side of the base is slightly longer than the other. The difference is, minor 1/8” of an inch in my estimate, and it made no difference to me which end was pointing which way that 1/8” of an inch may make a difference to someone else so it worth noting.

Lastly, the toy is available in three colors Purple (the one I got as you can see from the pic above), Copper and Black.

Pleasure and Use

This toy is simple and straightforward in its design, no fancy curves or angles, however what it lacks in complexity or novelty it more than makes up with perfect execution. Starting from the top of the toy, the torpedo tip is rounded at the top with the tip having almost the same diameter as the rest of the shaft there is no gradual taper to this toy. This may seem like it would make for difficult insertion but to my surprise; the toy slid in without any difficulty; the torpedo design was surprisingly effective just lube up, push a bit and it just slides into place. Removal was also surprisingly easy. Continuing the toy’s torpedo design provides a very good feeling of fullness both for play and for extended wear. During extended the toy torpedo base makes it presence know nicely, giving you that “I’m being naughty and none of the people around me can tell” feeling, without being uncomfortable or distracting. Moving on, the neck of the toy provides sufficient contrast with the rest of the toy that it never slipped out of place (nor did I ever fear that it might).

Lastly, the toy’s base, the base is often what makes or breaks a plug and the Ryder base is one of the most comfortable I’ve tried. The base is oblong and stays comfortably between the cheeks. Again, simplicity works wonders here unlike round or hourglass bases this simple design creates no uncomfortable pressure points maximizing comfort. I have used this plug, for short-term play, all-day wear and for in public wear all with any discomfort (or again the toy falling out).

The toy is near prefect in my opinion but there are some potential cons you should keep in mind nonetheless. Firstly, the toy’s base is on the flimsily side. Extreme players may want to take note of this flimsiness as the wings of the base could theoretically slip inside you if you apply to much pressure to the base. This is unlikely to occur without some pressure being applied to the base so it shouldn’t cause any problems for extended wear but it is something to keep in mind for play/masturbation. I never had any problem with that with the Ryder but other toy reviewers have commented on this being a problem for them so you might want to read their perspectives before purchasing: ScottA transcendix1. Secondly, this isn’t the toy for those that like there plugs to have cross over potential as anal dildos or prostate massagers. The toy’s design isn’t good for thrusting and the lack of any curves means it not going to be hit your P-spot (those looking for a plug with more cross over potential might want to check out something like the LELO Bob). Lastly, this is great as a midsized plug but I do wish Tantus would make a Ryder large for when I am in size king mode, but that more toys I’d wish they make thing than a con :) . Although on that note, the Ryder would make a good warm-up to larger plugs.

Who’s it for?

The Ryder’s best application in my opinion is as an extended wear plug; if your in the market for an extended wear plug this is a must. Despite its easy insertion it may be a bit much for an anal virgin so I wouldn’t recommend it as the very first thing to try out on your back door, but if you have even minimal experience the Ryder is an excellent choice. Those that like a lot of fancy belles and whistle may also be disappointed in this toy, but then again it might also be a good reminder of the value simplicity, so try it anyway :lol: .

Packaging

This toy comes in Tantus’s standard clear plastic packaging. The packaging while is tasteful isn’t very discreet, something to consider in a gift giving scenario. You could theoretically use the packaging for storage of the toy but I find it poor for that purpose. For those going green the packaging is recyclable and Tantus is committed to eco-friendly manufacturing practices.

The Ryder in its original packaging

Closing Thoughts

There really not much more for me to say. The Ryder is one of the best butt plugs I own and recommend it highly especially if your in the market for a good extend wear plug.

Sex, Spite, Copyrights, and Irony

As I have mentioned in a previous post I’m staying as far away from sex worker blogs as I possibly can. Part of the reasons is while I believe sex worker deserve respect; reading their blogs has proven the quickest way for me to lose respect for them. I’ve summed up the reasons for that in this post: I don’t trust you (password:1234). However; an interesting example of this in light of my last post is the issue of copyright; as I stated in my last post I’m making an serious effort to better respect the copyrights of sex workers; actually reading sex workers blogs however would go a long way to ruining that plan.

Allow me to use an example to explain: When ,as I explained in the linked post above, I see people calling out a fraud all the while benefiting from the aforementioned fraud it doesn’t make me sympathetic to people infringing your copyright. No the exact opposite you have ill-gotten economic benefits on your hands; now people are causing you economic harm; seems like karma to me. I really don’t have much problem ripping people like this off. To draw a parallel many of my friends will often pay to see one movie only to sneak in to a different movie. Why not pay for the movie they are actually going to see? Because the movie is directed by/produced/stars someone they have moral objections to (Mel Gibson for example); they want to see the movie but deliberately don’t want to support those who made it. I’m very tempted to do a similar thing in regards to sex workers right now; illegally download porn not in spite of it not supporting the actors in it but because it doesn’t support them. Worse still one some of these people consider themselves advocates on behalf of the sex worker community guess who’s community I don’t feel bad for ripping off any more. Guess who I feel like deliberately not supporting.

This is why not following sex workers any more is the simplest means of me continuing to respect them. I can respect the copyright of a hypothetical sex work in my head; however, after reading some of these people blogs I would continue to violate their copyright not in spite of them but out of spite for them.

Copyright infringement, promises, and vanilla sex.

It been about 48 hours since I’ve decided to swear off exploring the non-vanilla aspects of my sexuality (the password for the linked post is 1234 by the way). The first step is to set down some goals. First let us set a timeframe one month; one mouth without exploring the kinkier side of me. Second what do I mean by not exploring; no posting any of my fantasies; no watch of non-vanilla porn; if by some miracle I enter a relationship no kinky sex and try at least to keep the fantasizing to a minimum (I’m ashamed to admit the amount of time I’ve hand to yell STOP THAT! to myself so far). Thirdly, what do I mean by vanilla: oral and vaginal only; exception anything involving sex toys including anal masturbation via toys since I decided to keep reviewing toys. Rough sex is a gray area, to be decided on a case-by-case basis.

So with that laid out, I started deleting all of the non-vanilla videos in my porn collection. I was left with exactly one vid that meet my criteria of vanilla >.<. I then deleted that vid. This is where the copyright infringement part of the title comes into play. I’m definitely an infringer of the copyright: all the porn vids I had were pirated, most the movies I had in my collection were pirated as well, in the past I would often watch pirated tv shows; most of my music is pirated; two of the text book I’m using this semester I pirated. Look at the use of tense in the previous sentence. I used to watch a lot of TV and movies and thus I used to download illegal copies of those however, that stopped when I lost my interest in TV and movies. An unintentional benefit of which was I know longer felt that pang of guilt of having a net flicks account in order to do burn and return. I think you can see where I’m headed with this.

I have been a pirate as long I’ve had computer via which to perform it, but I feel guilt about but all the while. Eventually, I just accepted it as a ethical failing and moved on. It never occurred to me that I would ever be able to not private shit, however I’m realizing there is hope for me to reform yet. Without my non-vanilla side to drive me to it, there isn’t very much reason for me to watch porn; there isn’t any reason for me to private porn. Because of this all of sudden I’m looking forward to my little kink free experiment, if you look at the above link you’ll see I shut this blog down a bit back because I saw it was bring out a side of me I was disgusted by; it was an overreaction but not entirely wrong. I may not be shutting down this blog but I am shutting down a part of it (the kinky part) at least temporarily. There have been other times when I wanted to suppress this side of me. What is different this time is I’m doing it from a different place. Unlike the past I’m not doing it because religion or society is telling me to I’m doing it because in renouncing kink I see chance of becoming something I never thought I could be… I see the chance to become a better person….only 28 days, left to go.

Password for post:I don’t trust *me*

I gave half the reasons I wanted to shut down this blog in my last post. Now it’s time to explain the other half and how this blog is different because of it. The full explanation is password protected but there are elements I will say publicly. To keep it short the same thing that made me comfortable exploring certain part of my sexuality has now come full circle and has made me want to stop exploring those same themes. Eventually I decided I like sex toy enough that I can keep posting about, that but you won’t be seeing anymore posts like The Beauty and Mystery of double (and triple) penetration (my favorite post I’ve written) or anal play beyond the context of sex toys or my submissive fantasies or anything like that. (you’ll notice all those categories are gone from my side bar). I have made a conscious decision not to explore those aspects of my sexuality anymore, to find out why read the protected post (Password 1234)

Password for my Last Post

I just posted a password-protected post. It’s about “The Great Calamity” as I referred to it in a past post. I posted it as password protected because it is something that as a bLOG of my experience I have to log it but at the same time I don’t want to look like I’m resurrecting an issue that is long dead in the blog-sphere for blog hits or to be stir up controversy or anything like that. I figured this was the best way to reach a middle ground

Warning: post is extremely ranty and not well proof-read you have been warned. Also the post is hobbled together from different posts I wrote during ”the great calamity” but never posted, so it going to be a bit very disjointed.

Any way: The password for the post is 1234
