Dear Blowfish,
I have a question for you . . . my future orgasms hang in the balance. Can you tell me more about the Essential Multi-Massager? I’m wondering if the nib for the attachments rests inside of the casing, or does it protrude? I can’t tell from the photo because there is nub attachment on it.
I grabbed an Essential Multi-Massager from the warehouse to see if I can figure out exactly what you mean by a “protruding nub.” Unlike the Wahl Coil Vibrator, the Essential Multi-Massager’s attachments connect via a “nubbin” of plastic that sticks out about 3/4 of an inch from the body of the vibe. Other similar vibes (like the Wahl) have nubbins sunk into the bodies of the vibes so the attachments fit flush against the shaft.
It sounds like you’ve been using the nubbin part of the vibe as the part that presses onto your clit. If such is the case, the Essential Multi-Massager would work for you. That being said, this nubbin is not smoothed over and capped with a metal piece like the one on your dying vibe. It is made of black hard plastic with a seam and two small holes in the front, clearly not intended to serve as a clit-friendly surface. There is a “cap” attachment that covers the black plastic though, smoothing over the rough edges without dampening the sensation. I should add that the cap attachment is thicker, 1 inch wide instead of the 1/2 of the nubbin.
Happy playing!

Dear Blowfish,
I recently purchased the Nibbler. First let me testify that the Nibbler lives up to your well written review. I’d like to know which type of lube the Nibbler like best.
Glad to hear that you are having a great time with the Nibbler! Brings a smile to my face to know that you two are so well matched.
As for lubricants, feel free to use any water-based or silicone-based lubes. I would stay away from oil-based jack-off creams as they might harm the jelly, but other that that, you should be fine!
Still unsure? Our most popular water-based lube is Liquid Silk, found at . . .

This week, it’s all about prostates and cocks. Guys, don’t say we don’t love you!
First on the list is the Cock-Pin. Unscrew your squinched-up eyes for a moment and imagine, not a “pin” with a sharp point, but a beautiful urethral sound designed to be worn and shown off! The stainless-steel insertable rod (9mm) is held in place by a brass cock-head ring, decked out with tiny chains to hold it all together, hand detailing, and a small garnet topping the art piece. Beautiful and functional! Unlike other sounds we’ve tried, this one could be inserted and left alone to do its thing hands-free. We could get up and walk around with it in, lean over and take punishments with it in, even kick back and watch the evening news with it in. Sounding can be an intense activity, and we were tickled to find a toy that let us bring urethral play into our other bedroom kinks and antics. Fabulous!

What discussion of male pleasure would be complete without considering the prostate? From the makers of the Glide and the Excel, the Vibro Prostate Massager is the first vibrating, prostate-specific massager that’s floated into the tank. The insertable portion of the toy is similar to p-spot toy designs past, complete with the roller ball on the perineum piece that helps the toy move around even more when inserted into the body. The Vibro differs from the other toys on two accounts. First, the whole body of the toy is covered in extreme ridges. Not for the meek of anus, these ripples are intense and drastically change the sensation as the toy enters the body. We have no doubt that some of you will love the addition and some will find it over the top. Most of the Blowfishies were enthusiastic about the extra stimulation, but it does require slower insertion and some extra forethought (not to mention having extra lube on hand, too).
The second addition to the Vibro is, not surprisingly, the stainless-steel vibrating bullet set into the base of the massager. Removable, sleek, and super high-tech, this little bullet is programed with three “prostate specific” vibration patterns. Unlike other vibe sequences we’ve felt, these are designed for the booty, never staying on a constant buzz long enough to numb out our asses while keeping us excited the whole time through. We aren’t sure how the makers came up with these patterns, but we sure love them! In fact, we love the whole Vibro, from the tip of its angled head to the bottom of its roller ball body. Want to bring this gadget into bed for some partner play, you say? Try inserting this toy into your bottom, inserting yourself into your partner, and thrusting into your lover in sync with the vibration patterns. (We stole this idea from the Vibro’s spiffy packaging and totally loved it!) We won’t be kicking the Vibro out of bed for eating crackers, that’s for certain.

Learning your ABCs has never been so much fun! We’ve got the next two in Alison Tyler’s Erotic Alphabet series, and both are even steamer than the first one! B is for Bondage is full of BDSM stories, as you’d expect from the title, but this ain’t yer grandma’s bondage! The bondage in this anthology is some of the most creative bondage I’ve ever read. From the psychological bondage of watching one’s master shop for discipline equipment in Mathilde Madden’s “Pervertable” to the lush, insanely creative garden-bondage in Shanna Germain’s “Silver Bells and Cockleshells,” this bondage is as hot as it is inventive. The writing is top-notch, too, making these good stories, not just good wank stories (though they are that, too). With stories by Charlie Anders, Alison Tyler, Teresa Noelle Roberts and Cynthia Rayne among others.

Ah, college. Long days where your time between classes was yours for the fucking. Who doesn’t sometimes reminisce about back when they were young, full of energy and had their first taste of real freedom? C is for Coeds is the perfect tool for getting you going down on memory lane. With stories about watching your roommate spank her boyfriend (in Michelle Houston’s “Janelle’s Spankology 101″) or a college girl getting mutually agreeable spankings from her professor (in Greta Christina’s steamy “This Week”), there’s definitely something here for even the naughtiest of readers, though there’s plenty of more straightforward sex as well. A great little collection with lots of school spirit, it’s sure to make you actually consider hitting homecoming this year.

I saw In Search of the Wild Kingdom at its premiere in San Francisco, in a theater packed with assorted beautiful queers and hipsters, including much of the cast and crew. I realize you probably can’t watch it that way — and more’s the pity, the cast and crew had free sushi too — but you should still watch it, and soon. Director Shine Louise Houston has a brilliant knack for making charming, warm, intensely hot films, and this is her best movie yet.
And this movie? It’s so meta. Dubbed a “pomo-homo-docu-mockumentary,” it ostensibly involves a documentary film crew following around another documentary film crew, which is in turn pursuing lesbians in their native habitat. So it’s a fake documentary about a documentary, which is pretty damned funny, and they make the premise work — the subjects don’t notice the film crews in their bedrooms, because the crew wears black, and thus “blends in.” Genius! Georgia Mann plays the clueless filmmaker studying lesbians, and it’s a really funny role, as her obsession with the subject of girl-on-girl sex — what exactly do they do in bed together? — becomes ever stronger, and there’s a cute subplot with the camera crew, and Shine has a hilarious cameo . . . it’s great stuff. Watching porn in the theater means you can’t fast-forward to the good parts, and I never wanted to. It’s all good parts.
Sitting, watching a film made by lesbians, for lesbians, in a room largely full of lesbians, I felt just a little bit guilty for being turned on, but I can’t help it — like most straight guys, I’m either inherently wired or culturally conditioned to like seeing women have sex together. There’s a lot to like here on that score. The cast is a lovely and varied bunch, from hot androgynous girls to big beautiful women to femmes in skirts to butches with biceps that put mine to shame. (That’s not hard, but still.) Some of the sex scenes rank among the most intense and genuine I’ve ever seen. None of the performers hold back, and the results are extraordinary. It’s also just a great mockumentary. It’s the Spinal Tap of porn.

The Bi Apple is a merry pansexual romp set in a strange New York apartment dubbed The Fuck House, featuring an array of inhabitants with very broad sexual tastes. The whole film has a kind of cheesy free-love vibe which is alternately surreal and charming, and the overall sense of style is, shall we say, exceedingly odd. Simone Valentino has a cool elegance that’s absolutely the high point of the film — despite a box cover image that makes her look like an afroed refugee from a ’70s blaxploitation flick. The performers display a wide mix of body types, not standard porn figures at all, and by and large that’s a good thing, though Tucker Lee could win a Carrot Top lookalike contest if his hair were red instead of brown. Despite his goofy demeanor, though, he works hard in this movie, moving quickly from taking anal from his strap-on-wearing lover to exchanging blowjobs with a cute boy in the bathroom to having a hot boy-boy-girl three-way with the lovely Simone. (I get the impression there are lots of little cameos and inside jokes involving people in the New York sex positive scene, but being a West Coast guy, they flew right over my head, I’m afraid.)
Mainstream porn strenuously avoids material like this — guys taking it up the ass from a strap-on while simultaneously giving it to another guy up the ass, men kissing and fondling one another while a woman looks on and masturbates, guys trading blowjobs — the only “standard” scene is the girl-girl one, and even it’s a bizarre sort of dream sequence featuring a mysterious lesbian avenger who wears a cape and has a utility belt full of sex toys. (Seriously. It’s a strange flick.) There are some cute running jokes with outsiders trying to buy or charm or scam there way into the building. If you like seeing guys and girls and every possible combination of the above have sex, you’ll like this movie, and appreciate it for the rare treat it is.

“Made especially for women who love and enjoy men” is the tagline on the box, so if you’re expecting a couples video, you’re right! In Velvet Thrust, the camera lingers over the buff male bodies on display rather more than usual, but otherwise there’s nothing to frighten any sexually insecure men out there — all the sex is boy-girl, and if you find yourself thinking that the muscular, tattooed male performers are hot, well, it’s just an aesthetic judgment, right? You can admire Michelangelo’s David without being gay! (I kid. But seriously, these guys are sexy, especially leading man Julian.) It would be a pretty good starter porn for a reluctant wife or girlfriend, as the sex is mostly very tame, and the performers are beautiful. Every scene ends with a cumshot, though, most facials, and while I have known a few women who liked seeing (or experiencing) such things, I’ve known many more who found them distasteful, so your mileage may vary. Then again, facials are as common in porn as fake breasts and bad acting, so maybe there’s no point in trying to hide that fact from your reluctant partner . . .
The plot serves to get people together and naked, which is the minimum one should ask of a porn story. More specifically, the plot features a couple of girlfriends who decide to visit a club called Velvet Thrust in hopes of hooking up with some hot boymeat. Spoiler alert: They succeed! (Though the only actual “velvet thrust” I saw involved the one guy who couldn’t keep his erection, who generally had trouble staying up-and-in.) I was a little disappointed with the clubbing attire of the female leads, though. I mean, I know the clothes come off relatively quickly, but the director really missed an opportunity to dress up the hot leading ladies in equally hot outfits, more’s the pity. Their outfits are merely ordinary, and who goes to a meat market dressed the way they would to go grocery shopping? But, those quibbles aside, this is a perfectly pleasant bit of smut for the porn-curious couple (or a solo woman who likes facial scenes, I suppose).

Erotica is wonderful stuff. (You can read some great stories at Blowfish’s own free erotic online magazine, Fishnet.) But some of the hottest, most interesting, most original sex stories on the ‘net are non-fiction. There’s a wide variety of blogs by tops, bottoms, swingers, prostitutes, queers, polyamorous folks, polymorphous pansexuals, and assorted flavors of kinky. For today, we’ll focus on the blogs of submissives, who often write very insightful, thoughtful (and hot) entries; when you’re tied up or blindfolded or being used as a living footstool, you probably have a lot of time to think . . .
Journey Into Submission is the blog of Gray Lily, “thirty-something, polyamorous, bisexual, submissive, masochistic bottom with a thing for bondage and flogging.” Her writing is warm and often witty, and she has a charming tendency to get embarrassed about the very explicit things she sometimes writes. One entry — the one that led us to her blog — concerns butt plugs and ball gags and showcases her deft hand at writing about her scenes.
Sarah of Submissive Reflections writes beautifully about her day-to-day life as a submissive in the real world, which isn’t at all like something from The Story of O — except when it is. She’s a woman, and a wife, and a mother, and a submissive, and it takes a delicate balancing act to give all those elements of her life the attention they deserve. She has a lovely recent entry about the difficulty of ending a scene, and switching from being a sexual object into being an equal partner.
Married Man’s Fucktoy is the often rather intense journal of “a cruel owner and his obedient slave,” and it has the advantage of including frequent photos of toys and their uses. Said obedient slave posted an entry detailing the contents of their toybox, and then posted a follow-up with a list of various other nice and nasty implements, followed by a list of her fantasies, and it all makes for arousing and interesting reading. (And also, possibly, a shopping list.)
There are lots and lots and lots of other submissive blogs out there, and you can find several from the blogrolls of the sites above. Next week, we’ll look at the blogs of dominants. Until then, be good, and don’t misbehave.

I was told when I first started working here that although our kinky customers were way into bondage (and I do mean way into), y’all don’t like handcuffs! Well, I simply don’t believe it. I refuse to accept that you lovely folks who buy enormous silicone cocks to stuff in your lovers and miles and miles of bondage rope to tie one another up could conceivably be against handcuffs. Pshaw. As if. I’ve decided to go against the advice of my buying system and set loose a beautiful new pair of Police Handcuffs and sit back to see how it all goes. I have faith in your scandalous sensibilities.
Our Police Handcuffs are the real deal; locking (so you can’t crush your wrists if you’re a struggler) and completely wiggle-out proof. They even come with two keys in case you accidentally knock one behind the headboard mid-thrust and the in-laws are coming over in 20 minutes and you have to get free right-the-heck-now! If you’ve ever been cuffed before, you know that real Police Handcuffs might not be the most sensual of restraints. For those that want a bit more cush to your kink, don’t miss the Handcuff Cozies in Faux Fur. These slipcovers fit right over any standard sized cuffs to keep you in plush comfort as you thrash around and beg for mercy.

Sometimes it’s hard to know what kind of anal mood I’m in at a given moment. Do I want some beads, a dildo, a plug, or just fingers? I pity my girlfriend who is often forced to decipher my grunts and sighs in an effort to find the right tool for the right moment. The Jester Silicone Butt-Plug is such a clever accessory that I have high hopes I’ll see it in a SkyMall brochure in the back of an airplane seat pocket one day. Part beads and part plug, this little anal toy is the erotic equivalent to a neutral Switzerland, that is, if anal play was even more political than it’s been made to be in the last, oh, ten years. What I’m going for here is that the Jester does not claim loyalty to either camp of ass-toys. It does not prefer to be used as a beautiful, comfortable butt-plug any more than it wants to be thought of as a short set of anal beads. In fact, it doesn’t seem to want to make category alliances at all. One of the reasons we love this toy is because it can be inserted and left alone one minute and thrust in and out for a gentle popping sensation the next, suiting your toy mood down to the moment. The ovular base tucks neatly into your crack, too, so no matter which camp you park your tush in, you can leave this silicone ally in there just as long as you see fit. We just can’t get enough. Two fins up!

When we got the review copy of Contemporary Nude Portraits in at the office, I did my usual cursory glance through it before going back to what I’d been doing — and got stuck, staring and examining each photo with such intense concentration that I just sat down and reviewed it right away. It’s that good.
This is an extraordinary book, partially because it captures people in such ordinary situations. Each individual is photographed in what appears to be their home, giving you a glimpse into their personality that you just don’t get in pictures posed in a photography studio or even in a beautiful natural setting. There’s a huge photo of each person, with two or more smaller ones, letting you see even more of their personality through the varying facial expressions and poses they chose. We’re told how old they are (the fifty-five subjects range in age from about 20 to 45), their first name and their occupation. Just these little tidbits of information are compelling enough to get your mind working on creating their back story, though I do wish they mentioned at least what country each person is from (it’s clear from some of the names — Anja, Till, Mai — and from some of the settings that these aren’t all in, say, the U.S.). But the most striking thing is how they all stare into the camera, revealing more of themselves in their eyes than they do with their nude bits. This is the kind of book that bears more than a one-time-through glance. Keep it on your coffee table for those times when you need a little perspective, arousal or insight.

I knew I’d like this movie when Joanna Angel — who wrote, directed, and starred in it — stood before her advanced sex-ed class and said “We’re here to turn your sexual organs into electric guitars.” Heh. True, there’s no shortage of puns in porn, but this seemed like a better class of silliness than usual. This Joanna Angel’s Guide 2 Humping — apparently the studio nixed her original and more accurate title, Joanna Angel’s Fuckin’ Guide to Fucking — is charming, funny, witty, and has lots of hot sex! It’s a thoroughly enjoyable piece of light, humorous smut.
The situation: Joanna Angel is the hot teacher of a very practical sex-ed course. Her class is filled with an assortment of stereotypes that might have comfortably inhabited an ’80s high school movie — jocks, skaters, nerds, good girls, hot foreign exchange students, and a greaser punk straight outta the ’50s. Joanna lectures, berates, and demonstrates, and also shows very hot “instructional videos” that provide half the actual sex scenes, including a girl-girl scene with the pierced, tattooed duo of Chapel Waste and Kylee Cross that’s so hot I watched it three times (and remember, I am a man who receives more free porn than I can reasonably watch in a lifetime, so if I watch something more than once, it’s good). Joanna carries the show, though, with her great comic timing, and it doesn’t hurt that she spends most of the movie in a skirt so short it’s basically a belt, and heels so high they give me vertigo just looking at them. Why did I never have a teacher like that?
Joanna Angel held a contest last year for a devoted porn fan to win a “non-sex role” in this film, and the winner actually has one of the funniest lines in the movie: “Excuse me, is this the class on limb reattachment?” Trust me, it’s funny in context. It’s silly, it’s goofy, it’s occasionally over-the-top, but overall, this was one of the most enjoyable films I’ve seen in a while.

Ah, Eros and Thanatos, sex and death, twin desires that drive the secret hearts of all humankind, brought together in a film called Killer Desire, about a hitman who fucks her victims to death. Well, it could have been good, but really, it’s merely okay. Brea Bennett, the 19-year-old blonde contract girl, is suitably luscious in the leading role, and she’s good at pouting and looking pissed-off, which is about all the script ever demands of her. She plays an assassin who just wants to do one or two more jobs before she retires. Her nickname — The Preying Mantis — refers to her preference for seducing her victims and then killing them. (Though she doesn’t bite off their heads.) How she kills them is never really clear. In two separate scenes, she fucks men, and after they come, they fall over dead on the bed, no signs of violence, not a mark on them. So, um . . . heart attacks induced by Brea’s sheer fucktastic awesomeness? Poisoned vagina? Who knows?
There’s no plot without conflict, and Brea has a treacherous boss (Ben English, who has a nice scene where he plays a little rough with Brooke Haven) who wants to kill her for reasons that I never fully understood. She also has a rival assassin, who hates her because she’s a better killer than he is, I guess. Of course, when he gets the drop on her, she convinces him to shag her rather than shoot her, and he agrees, which is a bit surprising, since he knows her entire modus operandi is screw-and-kill. And, yes, indeed, he falls over dead post-coitus. Not much of an afterglow. By all the rules of narrative there should be a final scene where Brea goes to kill her evil boss — with her murderous sexual prowess! — but all we get is a shot of him dead on his couch, dick dangling, with the implication that, yep, Brea hunted him down offscreen at some point. Something of a — forgive me — anti-climax. So, despite my initial hopes, this isn’t exactly The Professional or even Grosse Pointe Blank with lots of sex, but a pretty standard glossy porn flick with a dog’s breakfast of a plot. Still, there are a couple of good scenes, especially the one with Ben English, and Brea Bennett is easy on the eyes.

Vivid makes some great movies . . . but they also turn out a fair number of merely adequate features. There’s nothing wrong with those movies, but they tend to blur into an unambitious mishmash in memory. Heavy Breathing falls pretty much into that camp — not bad, but not great, unless it happens to hit your particular buttons. Cassidey stars as a phone sex operator, so there’s some nice dirty talk, which makes it a little more noteworthy than it would be otherwise. Amusingly, she even lies to her clients about where she is, what she’s wearing, and what she’s doing to herself — just like a real phone sex operator! Trust director Paul Thomas to inject such an amusing bit of verismilitude into even a minor feature. The plot is pretty thin, with Derrick Pierce playing a hunky cop eavesdropping on phone sex lines, who becomes obsessed with Cassidey after listening to her do her work. He arranges to meet her, but they don’t actually do anything — Cassidey only sleeps with other women in this film. Derrick’s scene with Penny Flame is great, though. She plays his good, giving, and game girlfriend, who does her best to please him in the bedroom. But she’s no good at talking dirty — he wants her to be more like Cassidey, of course, but it doesn’t turn her on a bit. He grows increasingly frustrated with her poor performance, and has an elaborate lesbian fantasy to keep himself interested while he fucks her. They both perform the roles well, and it’s a flash of real characterization that elevates the whole film. My ultimate reaction to this one is pretty lukewarm, though. If you’re a Cassidey devotee (or you like beautiful brunettes in general, since most of the women here are dark-haired) or you really like dirty talk or cop uniforms (or both combined), check it out.

Ah, spanking, most accessible of all kinks — far cheaper than latex catsuits or ponyplay gear or medical devices or e-stim equipment, and even cheaper than basic bondage, since you don’t have to shell out a few bucks for silk scarves or cotton clothesline. All you need is a steady hand and a willing rump. (Which isn’t to say you shouldn’t accessorize — the right outfit or implement can make everything a lot more fun. Buttplugs and short skirts and floggers, oh my!)
Your first stop should, naturally, be The Spanking Blog, which provides frequent updates and lots of links to various spanking sites on the web, with teaser text and sample photos. From schoolgirl spankings to canings to weird examples of spanking in the media (Batman spanking a random civilian, anyone?), the Spanking Blog covers it all.
Bonnie of the rather charmingly-named blog My Bottom Smarts — “One woman’s celebration of life, love, and spankings” — recently posted a list of Fifty reasons to spank your wife, suitable for interested women to print out and give to their significant others. Notable reasons include #8: “Compared to childbirth, the pain of a spanking is trivial,” #30: “She’s your lover - It’s OK if your fingers wander southward,” and, of course, #50: “If she didn’t agree, she wouldn’t have shown you this list!” She also uses the term “Spanko” to refer to spanking aficionados, and we think that’s cuter than a leather flip-skirt.
The American Spanking Society — really just one couple who really likes spanking — also has some great entries and links to various resources. They recently had a fascinating and encyclopedic entry on “Spanking Contracts” — for people who are so strict they want their spanking to involve paperwork — including a contract between a husband and wife from the 1930s!
If you think spanking is just the beginning of a fun afternoon or evening, and you like explicit all-girl movies and photos, there are few better investments than a membership at WhippedAss.com, part of the extensive and high-quality Kink.com porn site empire (seriously, all their sites, from Hogtied.com to SexAndSubmission.com to WaterBondage.com are first-rate). You can get a sense of what Whipped Ass has to offer here at their update page, but you have to pay for the good stuff, of course.
Oh, and remember what we said earlier, about spanking being cheap, easy, and accesssible? Well, while Smartspanking.com is a website of corporal punishment information for parents, and definitely not about erotic spanking, they do have a list of spanking implements, including many common household objects, from obvious things like rulers and wooden spoons and hairbrushes to more outré choices like flyswatters and slippers. Now, they don’t recommend people spank their kids with most of those objects, which is eminently reasonable, but if a couple of consenting adults want to take some liberties with that list and put it to nefarious uses of their own, well, we’ll keep it between you and us and the internet over here . . .

Dear Blowfish,
Can these cock-rings be used with petroleum-based lube, as well as water-based?
The Rubber Cock-Rings probably shouldn’t be used with petroleum-based lubes. The oils may eat into the rubber and could very well damage them. That being said, the rubber is pretty thick and the rings are pretty cheap, so if you simply could not live without your petroleum lube and must have Rubber Cock-Rings, well, you could stock up and replace them as needed.

Dear Blowfish,
My girlfriend and I want to try out double dildos, but all the ones on your site (except the non-harness one) look like penises. Is there such a thing as a non-realistic one, or are we just up shit creek here?
Well, I think the manufacturers were trying to split the difference between outright realistic and non-realistic by offering the Feeldoe Silicone Double Dildos and the Nexus Double Dildos in semi-realistic, non-penis colors such as blue and translucent purple, but I do see your point. While I don’t have any non-realistic harnessable dildos to offer you, I will both keep an eye out for them and pass along the suggestion to our manufacturers. Thanks for a great suggestion!

Dear Blowfish,
There aren’t a lot of dildos longer than 6″! We were hoping for the area of 7″-ish.
We’ve got quite a few good options if you like your dildos in the 7″ range. I’m not sure what characteristics you’re looking for other than length (material, base, width, etc.), but I’ve included a sampling in this email to give you an idea. One of my personal favorites is the Leo, a realistic silicone dildo that measures 7⅛” insertable length. And even more realistic dildo is our newest, Boi-Next-Door Silicone Dildo, which measures just about 7″ long. The Champ is a semi-realistic silicone dildo that’s 7¼” long, the Johnny is 7″. If you prefer glass, our Glass Twister is 7″ long and the Blue-Spiral Glass Dildo is also 7″ long. If you’re looking for jelly toys, our Suction Cup Jelly Dick comes in three sizes, the largest two being 7″ long and 8½” long respectively. And our acrylic Magic Zoom is 7⅞” long.

Dear Blowfish,
What have you for the single straight girl? The products that I’ve seen on your website don’t seem to have something to hang onto while pleasuring oneself. Specifically I’m looking for a dildo with a handle that I can hold and do myself comfortably. Anything available?
We’ve got plenty of goodies for the single, straight girl who likes handled toys! Check out the Feeldoe Silicone Double Dildos. While they are designed to be worn by one person to shag someone else, there is no reason why the bulb end couldn’t function as a nifty make-shift handle. Also take a peek at the Rammer Rubber Dildos. These come in two sizes with handles that can double as penetration devices (covered in a smattering of nubs—wee!). I’m also a big fan of the G-Force, a silicone dildo built on a curve that ends in a grippy handle. You can find links to all of these below. Hope this helps!
Happy Playing!

MyStim, your stim, we all scream for E-stim (in a good way, swearsies!). Why are the Blowfishies so excited this week, you ask? The newest and coolest electrical stimulation line to hit the European market is now available here at Blowfish! Unlike other brands of E-stim boxes, the pink and black design of the MyStim brand toys is eye catching and adorable, nothing so techie and scary as to intimidate a novice player. The displays are easy to read off the digital screen, easy to control, and the attachments are designed to feel wonderful inside of your body, regardless of whether you’re male or female. The general sensation of E-stim is difficult to describe as the current can be modified to impact your nerves in a number of ways, from mild tickling to medium twangs to distinct muscle contractions—neat! E-stim play is so customizable that if you don’t want it to hurt, it won’t (though of course you can make it hurt if you want it to), so set your fears aside! Best part is, the MyStim Digital Power Box comes with detailed instructions on exactly how to use the controls to get exactly the sensation you want, not to mention suggestions on where to start, safety tips, and ideas for both individuals and couples. As they say in the movies, “all you gotta do is show up.”
The MyStim Digital Power Box comes complete with sticky pads and leads so you can dive in and use it the moment it arrives. If you are interested in moving the electricity from the surface of your skin to inside your body (which I found absolutely fantastic, by the way), we have a number of different attachments specifically designed to stimulate your butt or pussy. I loved that I could set the attachments to feel like the toys were fucking me automatically and, unlike other systems I’ve tried, I understood what I was doing every step of the way. I also had much better success getting my girlfriend hooked up to these orifice-friendly devices so we could delve into couples play. We even tried placing the pads on her shoulders per the “therapeutic” instructions and were amazed as she fell back into her chair like she was made of pudding, sighed loudly, and lounged in her muscle-relaxed state for half an hour.
The MyStim E-stim toys are not compatible with either of the brands we carry, so in order to use the MyStim attachments you will need to pick up the MyStim Digital Power Box. Speaking of attachments, we have five spectacular choices to get you started!
The MyStim Aluminum Bloop Stick is arguably one of our favorite e-stim attachments of all time. It ends up feeling like six inches of electro anal beads and our bottoms are still smiling from the after effects.
The MyStim Aluminum Slim Dildo is a perfect tool for folks who want one toy that can go all sorts of places. This dildo is skinny enough to be used by virgins of anal play yet firm enough and plenty long enough to also excel as a vaginal toy.
The MyStim Romeo Arrow is a teeny butt-plug that packs a wallop. Let your ass feast on the hands-free sensations without having to use a larger toy that fills you up with its distracting humongousness.
The MyStim Don Juan Probe is about the size of the average finger, making it one of the least threatening e-stim toys we carry. Perfect for novices or for folks who could be interested in DP electro play.
The MyStim Julian Bulb is intended to act as a vaginal toy, stimulating all around the inside of the canal by placing electrodes on opposing walls. The sensation therefore covers a larger surface area while the physical toy takes up hardly any space inside.
Find this spectacular new line of MyStim products with all of their details on the web site and put the spark back in your sex life!

Back in high school and college, the topic of virginity was one of those topics that eventually got discussed in every group I was in. We all knew the virginity status of everyone in swing choir (in high school), at least at the beginning of the school year, and in my college dorm, the swiftly-changing virginity status of everyone was tracked with the sort of dedicated accuracy that should’ve earned us job offers from Bush Sr.’s Star Wars program (this being the early ’90’s). I don’t know quite how it is these days, but I’ve read those articles about “pledges of abstinence” and how teenagers have butt-sex in order to keep their virginity intact enough to know that it’s hardly no big deal.
What I’m trying to say here, is that even though we’ve, yes, come a long way baby, the topic of virginity is still hot, in more ways than one. Which brings me to this week’s book, Virgin: The Untouched History by Hanne Blank. Well-researched, well-written and extremely fascinating, this book takes a hard look at the history of one of the world’s slipperiest states of being. Divided into two sections, Blank tackles first the biological side, examining factors such as the hymen’s discovery, history and role in determining virginity and taking a hard look at the myth that having sex with a virgin will cure you of STI’s (spoiler: it won’t), as well as other fascinating biological misunderstandings, myths and actual facts. The second half of the book tackles the thorny cultural side, from misconceptions to horrific traditions surrounding this nebulous state of being. Beginning in ancient Greece and moving up through Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which earns major cool points with us), the role of virginity in society is examined in engrossing detail. It’s the kind of book that is both hard to put down and extremely educational at the same time, a combination that I find extremely satisfying. Two fins up!

Do you have a fetish for girls in carnival masks? Glittery, feathery, occasionally beak-masked girls who refer to their assholes as — no kidding — “dreamcatchers”? (And, yes, jizz is referred to as “dreams” at least once in the course of the film, so at least their metaphor is consistent.) Then this is a no-brainer — this is the only movie in the world for you!
For the rest of us, Dreamcatcher — not to be confused with the bad science fiction movie of the same name, based on the minor Stephen King novel of yet again the same name — is a mixed bag. It’s hard enough to keep track of pornstar identities (especially with their predilection for body-altering plastic surgery and their fondness for multiple pseudonyms), but in a movie where they’re all wearing huge face-obscuring masks? I just gave up trying to tell them apart. Still, a certain degree of anonymity can be hot, and it doesn’t matter if they’re wearing a mask if the camera lingers over a shot of a cock plunging into an ass. At least it’s fair — the guys look like refugees from a Mardi Gras parade, too, though their masks are more masculine (their velvet capes aren’t, though). The scripted dialogue isn’t very good — okay, it’s bad — but on the plus side, there isn’t much of it.
And there’s a wide array of gonzo fucking to be seen here, including hard anal, rough blowjobs, three-ways, DP, cum-swapping, ATM, and other pleasures.
But if, like me, one of your joys in watching porn is seeing a beautiful (and, let’s be honest, occasionally come-spattered) face transported into expressions of ecstasy, then you’ll be disappointed by the costuming gimmick. And with regard to the aesthetics of cumshots on feathered carnival masks . . . well, let’s just say I’d hate to be the propmaster on this production.

Foot (and shoe) fetishes are pretty common kinks, and there’s lots of good stuff for you foot worshippers on the net, if you get sick of lingering in the footwear section at the local department store. The Foot Fetish Blog is a good place to start, with tons of links and entries covering foot fetishism both hardcore and softcore, featuring beautiful undressed feet, toe sucking, footjobs, and more.
All Foot Desire is another good blog, with a wide-ranging and inclusive philosophy, encompassing toe rings, dirty feet, food crushing, trampling, heels, socks, and on and on. Both blogs have lots of photos, and can lead you to even more specifically-targeted sites. They’ll get your toes a’ tappin’.
Do you like foot-fucking, but find yourself frustrated by the lack of an actual orifice in said feet? Technology can help! Specifically Jesse’s Fantasy Foot Masturbator, molded from porn star Jesse Jane’s own foot, fitted with a — well, there’s no way to be delicate here — fucktube in the sole. As the promotional copy says, “If you’re hot for both feet and superstar Jesse Jane, now you can have the best of both worlds.” Truer words were never written.
If you’re less interested in feet, and more interested in the shoes surrounding those feet, the internet has plenty to offer you, too, beyond just browsing online shoe store catalogues. Take Punitive Shoes, for instance, which is — well, okay — an online shoe store catalogue, but specializing in very kinky footwear. From hooflike ponyplay shoes to brutal high heels to truly evil-looking ballet boots, these are the epitome of shoe-as-fetish-object. While you’re at it, take a look at some of Andy Warhol’s shoe prints, which combine pop art with sexy shoes. See, you’re not a pervert — you’re an art aficionado!
Maybe you like seeing those shoes put to use, though, such as, say, stepping on the neck of a submissive? That wish, and more, can be accommodated at Meyposters.com, specifically their High-Heel Series. Neck-stepping-upon, sexy boots juxtaposed with, um, a toilet, several versions of a stiletto squishing a dead fish, and more. Whatever gets your heart pumping and your toes tingling, you can probably find it in the well-traveled hallways of the ‘net.
