There are so many things that make me picky about porn. I hate when it’s over-scripted (let’s face it, the writing doesn’t warrant over-scripting). I hate it when the girl’s seem like they are dead. I really hate the up close and way too personal asshole shot. The other thing I hate, I mean seriously hate, is the cum shot. It just seems so absolutely unnecessary. Even if it has to be done sometimes, does it have to be done every time? I mean, I’m a smart girl. I get the point. However, I’ve yet to meet a man that insists on cumming on my face every time we have sex. And if I did meet him, we’d only be having sex once.
So, my expectations for porn are somewhat high. What can I say? I want to be entertained when I’m watching. When I heard about Chemistry and learned that it’s porn in a reality setting (sans script) I was certainly curious. Who wouldn’t be about a house filled with seven porn stars, some cameras, and plenty of sex toys for a no-holds barred orgy? I have to admit, the idea sounds really nice. The stars are placed in the house for 36 hours and there are absolutely no scripted sex scenes.
The porn stars all seem incredibly relaxed during their chatting sessions. During the sex scenes they are all quite involved. I can guarantee you won’t find one of those dead chicks in Chemistry. All of these girls are loving their job, at least in this film. In addition to the long and involved sex scenes the DVD has confession sessions after the scenes, which are quite entertaining in their own way. I refuse to say this is the best DVD ever, because I know that when I say that there will be something better to come along. However, it’s really good. In fact, it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen and it’s certainly the best I’ve seen in recent months.
Porn fans will recognize some of the stars in this film. Mr. Marcus, Mika Tan, Marie Luv, and Kurt Lockwood are just a few of the stars that are found in the Chemistry house. All of the stars take time out to talk about their personal lives and what they like and hate about their jobs. The girls talk about how men not in porn treat them and the men talk about fucking, as well as some other choice bits of conversation. During the sex scenes, whoever isn’t involved gets to carry around cameras to shoot the sex from whatever angle catches their fancy!
The scene breakdown is as follows:
1. Marie Luv and Mr. Marcus: This scene involves the only two black people in the film. The camera work had some moments that weren’t cutting it, but the pure primal energy between the two made watching worthwhile. The two were in the hot tub first, where the basic oral and vaginal scenes occurred. After a bit of time the two were transferred into one of the bedrooms where the 69 started. After that, Marie got to enjoy some tongue action by Mr. Marcus, with an anal plug to boot. Now, if you’ve seen porno you know that after the plug comes anal sex, and sure enough, that was next! The patented cum scene with Marcus emptying in Marie’s mouth ended the scene.
2. Mika Tan, Kurt Lockwood, and Dana DeArmond: Things got going with a blow job for Kurt by Mika. Dana began by recording things but quickly ended up getting some missionary from Kurt. Mika, not wanting to be left out, hooked up a strap-on and showed Kurt she knew how to fuck too, when she popped her cock up his ass. Some people won’t like this scene for that reason. Then again, others will absolutely love it.
3. Dana, Mika, and Jack Lawrence: Things got started out by the pool with a collection of sex toys and the three horny stars. The action began with some lesbian exploration, but when the girls get hot they end up taking their aggression out on Jack (not that he minded, of course). Dana ends up putting on a strap on and fucking Mika and Jack soon joins in for a little double penetration. Eventually things wind down with the girls sharing Jack’s cum.
4. Taryn Thomas, Kurt, and Mika: Mika begins this action with a blow job for Kurt (don’t things always begin this way?). Soon after this lengthy blow job, some missionary action begins for the two, until Taryn enters the scene. Taryn ends up taking Mika’s spot with Kurt and she uses plenty of dirty talk to keep things interesting. After the missionary, there is some oral, some rimming, a few moments of a hand job, girl on top, and plenty of jizz shooting down Taryn’s throat.
5. Marie, Marcus, Jack, and Mika: Jack begins by going down on Marie, but is soon replaced by Mika, while the guys watch (who can blame them). The camera imaging isn’t as good here because it is a little dark. What was obvious was hot, and the fucking was worth watching, though it would have been nice if it had been easier to see.
6. Taryn and Kurt: It’s a new day and time for some steamy wake up sex with Marie shooting. Taryn hops on top and gets right to fucking Kurt (or rather, being fucked by, since he takes it both ways). Mika jumps in and begins blowing him when she has the chance. There is some female oral (Mika gets some licky, licky), then more vaginal, and then there’s even some double female oral when Kurt gets a blow job by both girls at once. Kurt gets his ass pounded again, there’s some titty fucking, and then there is some confessional time. Kurt explains his feelings towards anal and how it doesn’t make him gay. I’ve seen worse with guys than he seems to do, so I’m not sure what he’s worried about, but he apparently needed to justify his actions.
7. Dana and Jack: A rare moment that just shows the sense of reality happens here. Jack eats Dana’s pussy in a lengthy scene. Sure, that’s not the rare part. The fact that no actual penetration on his part occurs is rare though and the scene offers some delicious moments, especially if you like Dana.
8. Marie, Jack, Dana, and Mr. Marcus: Jack and Marie use some toys in this scene while Marcus fucks Dana as only he can. This is the longest scene in the movie and you see just about everything in various detail. The end result is Jack on Marie’s face (his cum anyway) and Marcus emptying on Dana.
Other than the varying video quality, which at times wasn’t as good as it should have been, there was only one main problem here. Considering the fact that this was a reality porn project, the whole eternal cum shot thing could have been avoided, but it wasn’t.
Even with that one thing though, this was one of the best films I have seen recently. Chemistry has four volumes currently and knowing how this one turned out, I am interested in checking out the rest of the series. You can find the majority of the movies over at Babeland for various prices. The series includes Chemistry, Chemistry Vol 2, Chemistry Vol. 3, and Chemistry Vol. 4.

Put some sexy stars in a perfect location with some good cameras and you have to expect the best right? Well, not exactly. It’s not bad, but this is going to be something more suited for your average new to porn watcher or couple that prefers tame sex romps to the harder stuff. Eden isn’t awful. It certainly isn’t the worst I have seen. However, this isn’t something that went out of its way to do anything for me either. The incredibly tame nature of this film was somewhat boring to me, but I lived through it easily enough to be able to point out all the good and bad things, with some middle ground in between.
This movie lasts for around two hours and contains ten main sex scenes. There are some special features that include trailers, interviews, bloopers, photo galleries, behind the scenes featurettes, and a casting call feature. The bonus features add about an hour and a half of additional content, but if you’re in it for the fucking (and who isn’t, this is porn, right?) then you may only be interested in the first two hours.
The cast list includes some mildly enthusiastic women and some decent looking guys. Most of them aren’t my favorite stars or the most well known at this point, but they certainly get the job done nicely. Eden is really tame and the major storyline is centered on romance, so if you’re looking for something Hardcore, this garden variety Lifetime porn will not suit you. The idea is that it should work for women that do not like porn. Of course, some cum shots are still present and accounted for (it’s not 10 for 10 though) so I am not sure how many women that don’t like porn will be jumping on the Eden bandwagon.
As I mentioned a bit earlier there are ten sex scenes in Eden. Some of them are decent and some are insanely standard without being boring. The tameness can be boring, but there is an element of passion which helps. Highlights from the best of the ten scenes are listed below.
Scene Two: Evan Valentine & Tommy Gunn: Things begin (sex wise) with the standard porn format and a nice and juicy blow job. This moves into some oral on Evan and later some 69. After the suck fest ends several other positions come into play, most of which are nicely executed. In the end, Tommy squirts in Evan’s hungry mouth.
Scene Six: The Evans (Stone and Valentine): This scene takes place on the beach and while these two might not be the best looking, they do have some nice chemistry, which caught my eye. After a dip in the ocean, a run-in with a shark, and a drink, things get rolling with some clit nibbling that leads to 69 with Evan on Evan’s face. The two enjoy multiple positions from straight out vaginal to Evan taking Evan from behind, doggie style.
Scene Eight: Ava Rose & Evan Stone: This scene is fairly tame and pseudo-seductive, but it had its steamy moments. The goal here is for Evan to show that he can be as romantic as the next guy and he shows that by seducing Ava. This one is definitely the one to get the women hot, as Evan spends plenty of time pleasing Ava in every imaginable way. He ends up finishing himself off on her chest.
Natural lighting is used throughout the entire movie, which includes sex all over this private island (Eden was shot in Hawaii). Out of the ten scenes, there is sex on a boat, on dry land, on the sand, in the pool, in the grass, and on the beach. You also see girl on girl, oral (both ways), vaginal, anal, and a few threesomes. While it sounds like a lot of action much of it is simple. It gets the job done, but even in that it has its flaws.
The film was shot in high definition so it comes out looking fairly decent. The angles are good and things go together well. The sound also works well, though I have to admit there were times when I wish it hadn’t worked so well. The music in this film is utterly dreadful where porn is concerned. The music reminded me of Lifetime-infused elevator music. It never gave me the sex vibe and it never matched the sex on screen. I call it elevator music, but I think if Evan Valentine would have been blowing Tommy Gunn while they were heading up to the third floor (lingerie) it still wouldn’t have had that sex vibe. Needless to say, the music was location friendly, but not fuck-friendly.
In the end, Eden is fair. It’s not the hottest or the worst movie that I’ve seen. If you’re watching it with your man/woman and hoping to get off, you should have a good chance of accomplishing your goal. This isn’t something for someone that loves the hardcore movies or for solo stimulation. In the end, it’s just too tame to suit those wild tastes out there.
Eden costs between $30 (VHS) and $40 (DVD) for a two disc DVD set. Hardcore users will want to skip this one. However, if you’re new to porn you may want to check this one out as it will be a nice primer for what’s to come.

I came upon Liberator by accident. I was writing for a client that was obsessed with the company. I will admit that the products looked interesting. They did catch my eye. However, most of the shapes come with a mighty price tag, which caused me to put the site away before I really got interested. A few months later I came across the site again. The second time around they had some new shapes. One of those shapes is a huge round shape akin to a bean bag with a lot more uses. However, the price was still hefty and I was worried about paying that much money if it could end up not being worth it. I have heard this fear quite a bit. Now that I have tried the Zeppelin, I can honestly say, it’s worth every penny and then some.
The most exciting moment of my day was hearing the knock on the door and seeing the three large boxes that contained the waiting to be assembled Zeppelin. The Zeppelin is simple to assemble and well worth the effort. You cannot go wrong with Liberator. The Zeppelin is so soft that you’d think you were lying on air. Filled with champagne foam, this could not possibly be any softer or more comfortable than it is.
You can use the Zeppelin like you would any other piece of furniture. I’ve used mine to do homework on, watch movies, and read books. Hell, it’s so comfortable I have even fallen asleep on it. Of course, the intended purpose is far more interesting than using it to sleep. When it comes to sex you have no idea how many possibilities Liberator can open for you.
I have made a list of the things that I like the most about the Zeppelin:
The Kinkability Options: If you’re into kink or bondage Liberator offers a Black Label Zeppelin that has restraint hooks attached to the bed in order to allow you to restrain someone (or be restrained) in a variety of positions. This makes bondage super simple and will serve as a good start for people that want to try bondage, but have avoided it until now. Not only that, but if you’re into threesomes (or more) you will find that the Zeppelin is big enough to fit three or four (maybe more) people comfortably.
The Position Possibilities: I know plenty of people that tell me they want to try new positions, but some of them just aren’t comfortable. Liberator shapes take this problem away. I was shocked at the positions that I was able to get into on the Zeppelin. The best thing is that they were all comfortable. If you’ve ever wanted to be a contortionist in bed, this is your chance to do so with comfort. This is one of the top furniture lines for sex out there and you will be shocked when you experience some of the best sex of your life as a result.
The Quality: The outer lining of Liberator shapes are made of microfiber and the inner cushioning is made of champagne foam. The combination is amazing. The zip cover can be switched out to change looks and it’s fully machine-washable so if you get a stain on the cover, you just need to unzip it, wash it, and put it back on.
The Medical Benefits: If you are dealing with limited bedroom mobility due to a bad back or some other problems this could be your saving grace. I have moderate back problems and didn’t notice an issue while using this lounger in any position I tried. It’s built for comfort, kink, and enjoyment. This will also work for people dealing with weight issues because it will make the entire sexual experience easier on your body. With the Zeppelin (and other Liberator shapes) it’s just a matter of hopping on and enjoying the ride.
My main worry with Liberator was the price. For people that have a good sex life to begin with, it’s important to question how much better this furniture will improve your relationship. After trying it I can assure you that it is worth every penny. The Zeppelin is trendy enough to place in your living room (if you have the set up for it) and discreet enough so that no one will know what you’re really using it for when no one’s around. Sex has never been as fine as it is with Liberator. If you haven’t checked the company out, I highly suggest you find the shape that is right for you.
Never trust a product, in this case a book, when the title says “You Know You Love It.” I will admit that I certainly do love “it” when it means BDSM. I love BDSM. I don’t love this book though or the author’s representation of the BDSM world. In fact, reading this book was more torture than this simple masochist could handle. This memoir would have been better titled “You Know You Shouldn’t Read This” or “Beware, Boring and Unnecessary is Ahead.” Either way, this was one review I would have much rather left in the dirt; far under the dirt where no one could ever find this pointless, narcissistic drivel.
I had never heard of Ms. Paris before reading this book. After reading it I can safely say I would have rather been left in the dark. There are so many things that bother me about this book of “lessons” that I am not sure I know where to begin. First let me say, if you’re not the standard variety want-to-be bored or boring, desperate housewife then this book probably isn’t something you will be able to relate to. Second, if you have enough BDSM knowledge to know what the acronym stands for, this book probably also is not for you.
The information pointed towards those in need of sexual mischief make me scoff, but the information on BDSM made me want to shut the book on more than one occasion. In fact, in the entire book, there was one section that I liked. The section was at the end of the book and contained a set of shopping links. The rest I would have gladly shredded just to ensure I never see it again.
This book is meant to offer people who need help and information about sexual mischief, as Paris puts it. However, I am still not sure what, if anything, I learned, other than to be much more careful when picking review material. If you have any knowledge about sex this ends up being a book that offers nice shopping links and not a lot more than that. Other than that you might be considering how many paper airplanes need to be made to beat the world record and if there are enough bland and unneeded pages in this book to become the champion.
“You know You Love It” was written by a former professional dominatrix that was a bored housewife prior to becoming sexually free and getting paid for it. The pink book sports handcuffs on the cover though that cheesy, cliché aspect of the book was not what caught my eye at first. Actually the first thing I noticed was in a press release I had received. It said something to the effect of this book holds the key to opening up the sex lives (and offering naughty bedroom fun) for people playing the field or those that are stuck in long term relationships or marriages that have boring sex lives.
Personally, the idea of a dominatrix advocating BDSM for people that aren’t getting fucked the right way is bothersome to me. First of all, recommending anyone jump into BDSM is dangerous. Recommending they do it because the sex is better or it will cure your boredom is just plain ignorant. Then there is the whole issue that BDSM can exist peacefully without ever having sex involved.
People involved in BDSM probably won’t have a place for this in their library unless they know Paris personally. As for the other people reading this junk, I honestly hope that they consider all of the advice and “tales” that Paris is telling before they go out and try some of the things she mentions. For instance, I would honestly hope that someone would know better than to duct tape their lover if they have never used duct tape before (or even if they have) or to use handcuffs without understanding the possibility of what happens on the off chance that something goes wrong.
It’s not that I don’t like handcuffs. It’s just the idea of knowing that making them sound sexy and fun will convince some people that probably shouldn’t try them to try them makes me uncomfortable. People that panic under pressure don’t need to play with dangerous toys. The problem is that when people write books about the joys of adding BDSM into your boring sex life, they often neglect to mention how dangerous some simple items can become if something goes wrong, and surprisingly enough, it always manages to go wrong with the people that cannot handle the pressure.
If Paris had planned to write a BDSM manual, she should have done so with more consideration to those who would be reading it. I would have rather read a manual that recommended hookers to bored husbands, because at least the chance for safety is a little bit higher than putting a tiny amount of BDSM knowledge in a bored, horny person’s hands. Likewise, since this is half memoir, if she wanted to write one of those, she certainly should have. However, by adding both together, they book came out looking like a poor representation of her life and of BDSM. It couldn’t have been worse unless she left out the shopping links.
While I am sure that Paris meant well, the book came out being arrogant, self-serving, and grossly uneducated in basic areas of BDSM when it comes to teaching people, which was the point here. I understand that Paris’ interest in fucking her hot clients, despite trying to keep a moral standard, her dungeon experiences, and her ways to meet men while going to AA were all very important highlights of her life. However, they are also things that had little need to be in a BDSM manual. It would have been like if I wrote a book about car insurance and BDSM. That would not have went together either.
If you are new to the BDSM scene or interested in it and want to read something I implore you to choose something better than this. Look up Jay Wiseman. He has some excellent books and will explain all the finer points as they were meant to be explained. This can be thrown in the fire, because that’s about what this book is worth.
Tantra is one of those things that seem so mysterious and elusive where sex is concerned. It seems that the only people with the knowledge are the ones that have firsthand experience. Since I am not one of those people, I decided to find someone that is. So, I politely prodded a friend of mine, Al Vitaro, owner of TantraChair.com and asked him if he would be kind enough to answer some questions for me. He was more than happy to help and jumped into the questions head first, hoping to entertain and enlighten those of you choosing to read this.
Q. For our readers that have no clue what Tantra is, can you please give a brief description of what it means?
A. Hello Ashtyn…my pleasure. When someone hears the word Tantra, in most cases, they understand that it has something to do with sex. This is true to some extent but in actuality, Tantra is a way of life and involves every aspect of an individual’s life. Tantra is a spiritual path so to speak, much like Zen Buddhism. Many Zen Buddhists are very “Tantric” in the way they live their lives.
Mindfulness and respectful inner and outer behavior is paramount. Tantra originated in India in the 4th - 9th century AD. and the concept behind the sexual aspect of Tantra is very special. It involves raising the kundalini (sacred energy that exists within us) and using this energy to achieve heightened awareness or enlightenment. During sacred intimacy, this energy is very present and a Tantric master understands how to harness this energy and go into Samadhi or an enlightened state.
Q. How long have you had an interest in Tantra and how did you get involved?
A. I have been practicing Zen Buddhism since I was a small child and Tantra is just very natural for me. Once you develop your mind with deep perception, intuition and silence, you become very Tantric. It is a very difficult, very beautiful and very amazing progression. How did I get involved? See if you can make any sense of this….
I remember being in 4th grade and sitting in the church waiting to tell the priest of my sins. This is a ritual that Catholics do to absolve themselves of the sins they have committed. We had a choice to go into the “Open” confessional and sit before the priest face to face or the “Closed” confessional where we could remain anonymous. For some strange reason, I always chose to sit face to face with our priest.
The door opened to the closed confessional and one of my classmates (I’ll call her Jen) ran hysterically and in tears to the altar to say her penance before God. As I walked towards the Open confessional, I could hear little Jen sobbing as her tiny voice echoed to the back of the church. “Good morning Father” I said. The old priest nodded his head, leaned back in his chair, put his hand on his chin and said, “How long has it been since your last confession?”
“It’s been one week Father….remember last Wednesday…I was right here.” I said seriously. The old man lowered his brow and looked over his thick, rather stylish glasses. “What do you have to say today, Al?” asked the priest.
“Well Father, here it goes…. I swore seven times……but once, it didn’t really count because I stepped in dog shit. I said the “F” word mostly….I think five times and I also said ‘dammit’.” I said shamefully. “Why do you use the “F” word so frequently?” He asked in an authoritative way. “I don’t know Father……I hear my dad say it all the time and it sounds really neat.” I said shamefully again. “I see.” said the old priest. “What else would you like to share with God?” he asked.
“Well Father,” I said as I lowered my head. “Here it goes…..I can’t stop looking at Ms. Wood’s ass. She’s really pretty and her eyes are so big and green. I don’t know why, but I always catch myself looking at her ass. I know it’s wrong and I am so ashamed.” Wow, at that moment, I was more scared than I have ever been. I looked up to see the old man’s face because there was an awfully long silence. His face was bright red and he was kind of turned to the side and away from me and he was making what I thought was a choking sound as if he was clearing his throat or something. Still facing away from me, he asked in a garbled voice, “Al, what kind of jeans does Ms. Woods wear?” “Jordache Father….she always wears Jordache jeans.” I fired off the tip of my tongue.
At that moment, the old man started laughing hysterically. It was like a “laughing” explosion. I have never, to this day, seen another person laugh that hard. His face looked blue at this point and tears were streaming down his cheeks and his entire body was bouncing all over the place. Moments later, he gathered his composure for the most part. “Al, for your penance, say 50 Our Father Prayers and 50 Hail Mary Prayers and 50 Acts of Contrition Prayers.” said the priest as he continued to chuckle. “Yes Father, see you next week.” I said seriously. “Al?” questioned the priest as I opened the door. “Watch those “F” words from now on, ok?” “Yes Father, I will.” I said as I moped my way up to the altar to do my penance.
“My goodness, I thought to myself. This must be the longest punishment anyone has ever received. One by one the other children finished their punishment prayers and I was all alone on the altar….just me and Jesus illuminated by a giant church light. I remember wondering what Jesus did to end up on the cross. I wondered if he too was caught looking at a woman’s ass. I must have been up there for an hour and finally, I rose from my knees and turned to the back of the church.
The church was completely empty except for Ms. Woods. There she was, waiting patiently as she stared out a window with her back turned to me. I couldn’t help but notice the sunlight highlighting the curvature of her body and those damn Jordache jeans accentuated her beautiful figure. As Ms. Woods reached for my hand to take me back to school, I turned back and looked into the empty church. “I’ll see you tomorrow Jesus.” I whispered to myself.
From that moment, something in me changed. This was my first experience in understanding that things aren’t always as they seem. Guilty feelings, fear, shame…..all of these things didn’t need to exist. The laughter of the priest will always stay with me. He was a human being and one that probably was no better than I. Thank you Father K. You changed my life by accident. What are the answers to the big questions? That’s what I wanted to know. This was the very experience that got my wheels turning and ultimately led me down the path of Zen Buddhism and a Tantric way of life. Sorry for the long story
Q. If someone learns that you are involved in Tantra, what is the first question that they ask?
A. The great singer/songwriter Sting and his wife Trudy are embedded into the American consciousness because they have spoken openly about their Tantric practices and their love of intimacy. I remember a lot of women saying, “Tantric Sex? Like Sting? Really? That’s interesting.” Something along these lines.
Q. If someone is interested in Tantra and doesn’t know where to begin, what is a good place to start?
A. There are so many wonderful books and films about Tantra, but I can’t recommend any of them. I believe that a person needs to begin on the Tantric path via the practice of meditation. Tantra is a very natural progression as you become more in tune with your spirit.
Q. When most people hear the word Tantra, no matter how much they know about the practice, they automatically think of sex. However, Tantra is also a sort of spiritual belief, as well, which came before the sex. Are you involved in both areas and do you have to be to enjoy Tantric sex?
A. Absolutely, Tantric sex can’t really exist without the spiritual awareness. It is spiritual awareness. I am deeply involved in the spirituality aspect and practice and if I am going to express myself sexually with my wife, then it is always in a Tantric way.
Q. How is Tantric sex different from traditional forms of sex?
A. Tantric sex has nothing to do with fucking so to speak. Tantric Sex is about raising awareness….creating a nirvana like state that enables you to perceive, love, feel and live ecstatically. Sex is one way to tap into these things but certainly, just one way.
Q. Is this something that anyone can do or learn to do or is it not for everyone?
A. Yes, everyone can do it. Tantric Sex is not just a bunch of wild sexual positions. It is a state of mind. If you are spiritually in tune, you can certainly cultivate the brilliance of Tantric Sex.

I met Al when I found his website and fell in love with his Tantra Chairs. I emailed him because I had to have one and he has been gracious enough to let me review one! Since we have discussed some of what Tantra is about, I thought it would be nice to bring up the Tantra chair and where that fits into things.
Q. The design of your Tantra chairs is amazing. Not only are they sexy, with many designs to choose from, they are also comfortable looking. Did you come up with the design yourself?
A. Yes, I designed the Tantra Chair. It took me many years actually. I am a stone sculptor as well and one of my favorite subjects has been the female form……thanks to Ms. Woods. I designed the Tantra Chair in the likeness of the female form.
Q. How did you decide to get into the furniture making business?
A. I actually began designing meditation furniture. My dear friend and I were traveling around the West Coast meeting various Buddhist Masters and sometimes we were sitting in meditation for many hours. My body was so uncomfortable and I noticed the same discomfort in most everyone. I began designing little chairs to take with me on these journeys and people really started to react positively to them. This inspired me to launch a business venture. I recently designed a chair for His Holiness, the Dalai Lama which was a great honor for Zen By Design.
Q. Can these chairs be used for non-sex purposes? Are they comfortable for long periods or would they be something you wouldn’t want to sit in/on for an extended period of time?
A. The Tantra Chair is amazing for yoga stretching, sacred sex, relaxing and reading. The are very comfortable for extended periods of time.
Q. How does this chair improve the tantric sex experience?
A. The Tantra Chair greatly enhances the comfort levels during intimacy and it also greatly enhances the physical pleasure. Imagine not having to think about your body during sex. You may want to focus on a particular part of your body but you definitely do not want to be distracted by neck stiffness, back or shoulder pain. The Tantra Chair takes care of your body but it is up to you to take care of your spirit
Sure, when someone tells you to go blow fire out your ass you probably think that it’s not possible. I always thought it wasn’t possible. Then again, I never wanted to do it even if it was possible. I guess some people do want to do it though.
While looking around Red Tube today, I came across this video below. All I can say is I certainly wasn’t expecting what I ended up seeing.
Of all the places to light up that certainly made a memorable statement. While it doesn’t look too painful, I still have to say there is no way anyone is setting my ass on fire. How about you? Did seeing this video make you wonder what it would be like to get a little spark flying from your ass? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
When I think of sex furniture a lot of very different visions come to mind. I see Liberator products with the micro-suede finishes, I see wild shapes, and I see things you need to keep behind a locked door. However, every now and then a product is introduced to me that is so sexy and you can keep it out in the open, but that can be used for mind blowing orgasms when said room is free of guests. One of these products is called the Tantra Chair.
I found the chair on my own, searching for sex furniture, one day, though the owner of the business has since become a friend of mine. Al Vitaro, is the owner of Zen by Design, which makes the Tantra Chair. If you have not seen this chair before you need to check it out.
It’s been said that this chair is the top of the line in sexual furniture. It works for G-Spot Stimulation, Oral, and of course, Tantra and Kama Sutra. As if that isn’t a good enough selling point, it comes in just about every color or print that you can think of and a variety of fabrics. If you can’t find a color/fabric you like on the Tantra Chair website, Al offers another site you can check out, or you can send in your own fabric to dress the chair.
I have been fawning over the Tantra Chairs since the first time I saw them last year. Al is gracious enough to allow me a chair to test out and I am counting down the days until it arrives. I am like a kid in a candy store just thinking about it. Of course, when I heard that the chairs are now being made in leather and I will be getting one in a beautiful brown leather color, my excitement grew even further.
While I’ve had the chance to review a number of products, this one is special. Not only is it completely sexy in every important way, it’s also one of those items you can keep in your living room and have no one be the wiser about it’s true purpose.
I am not too familiar with the process of Tantra or Tantric Sex so Al has offered to do an interview. This will fill in some blanks for those of you who are interested in Tantra, but do not know anything about it (just like me). In the meantime, while we are waiting for the review of the chair and the interview from Al, he has sent me the pictures that are shown here. These are just some of the great positions and options that the Tantra Chair offers.
Currently the site has the chair listed as on sale for $999. I can’t say for sure if it’s worth it, but you can bet I will be singing it’s praises when and if it works as good as it looks! So, for now, stay tuned for more information on Tantra and the Tantra Chair. We will have more information up as soon as we have some!
As a transgendered man, I live every day of my life feeling like I am in the wrong body. Most transgendered FTMs (Female to Males) feel this way. When we’re lucky enough to find products that make us feel more like we know we’re supposed to be, it always comes with a sense of relief. This is how I felt after using the Mr. Right Packer. This is my first packer and it worked perfectly, for what it does.
The Mr. Right Packer can be purchased at Babeland and you can get it with the Mr. Right Packing Strap. I needed both because I wanted something that was going to fit well and be comfortable. The packing strap really is comfortable and you can hardly tell you’re wearing it for an extended period of time. I like to wear my packer all the time now, because the weight it provides between my legs is absolutely perfect at reminding me exactly who I am.
The Mr. Right is 5” by 1 1/4”, which I felt was the perfect length. It’s just long enough to be noticeable, but not so big that it is going to make you look like a walking porno. Petite individuals might want to find a smaller packer, but for average size and bigger guys this is the ideal size, at least in my opinion. The Mr. Right comes in three colors, Chocolate, Mocha, and Vanilla. The vanilla is remarkably flesh-like in appearance and since I’m relatively light-skinned it didn’t stick out like a sore thumb when comparing the packer to the tone of my flesh.
I should mention that it is best that you know your waist size when purchasing the Mr. Right Packing Strap. I purchased the x-large and it was just way too big. I thought my waist was bigger than it was. I’m going to have to get a large the next time I shop at Babeland. For what it is worth, by wearing boxers along with the strap (even though the strap was loose), the Mr. Right only had to be adjused a little bit. It just looked like I was any other guy adjusting my ‘package’, which made me feel absolutely wonderful!
The Mr. Right Packer is going to be a confidence booster for any transgendered guy who happens to be pre-op, as I am. The weight of the packer will make you feel like the man you know you were always meant to be and it is a real turn on if you’re in a couple. My girlfriend couldn’t keep her hands off it. She wasn’t exactly turned on by the idea of a packer originally. While she got the concept she really didn’t see a point in my wearing one, but once it was in my pants she changed her mind.
While the packer can be used to tease and torment that special someone (by rubbing your packer against them) I don’t recommend this for hardcore sex. The packer isn’t hard so it will be hard to achieve penetration and if used for such you risk the degradation of the material at a much faster rate. Still, penetration is entirely possible though ultimately quite frustrating for the individual being penetrated. I prefer the teasing and torment as I enjoy wearing my packer daily and don’t wish to lose it anytime soon.
The Mr. Right Packer is semi-affordable, but it is worth every penny. The packer itself costs $56, which is quite worth the comfort and boost of confidence I’ve received since wearing the packer regularly. The Mr. Right Packing Strap costs $22. I’ve not had any problems with the packing strap, other than the fact that it is the wrong size, although some have complained the strap’s elastic wears out over time. That’s pretty much anything elastic, so that is to be expected if you use the strap daily over an extended period of time. That is part of what makes the strap so comfortable. It is black, somewhat thick, but not too heavy or bulky.
Overall, the Mr. Right Packer with Packing Strap is the perfect packer for both guys that are new to packing or old pros. The comfort level is incredibly high. It looks and feels realistic. You will receive a lot of confidence and much praise when wearing it around your partner. You will also feel good about yourself because the packer fits right in the perfect place to make you forget that you might not exactly be whole yet. While this isn’t a substitute for a penis, it is a step in the right direction for those who may not yet be able to afford SRS (sexual reassignment surgery). As a whole, this comes highly recommended.
When you visit Babeland, make sure to check out all their items because while the Mr. Right is great for me, it may not be something everyone is going to want (transgendered or not). Babeland has plenty of other books, sex toys, DVDs, and other products that can make your life much more enjoyable.

Toys that you can strap on and wear in public are usually fun to play with. Of course, most of them cannot really be worn and used in public unless you want someone to hear the familiar buzzing sound coming from under your skirt. So, naturally, when it’s review time and this type of toy is being tested that is one of the first things that I pay attention to. The Beautiful G-Spot Butterfly passes the test by being quiet enough for use in public. Of course, it’s not a wireless unit, so you might have to be crafty with your switch unit depending on where you are going.
This Butterfly is special because it has a dong attachment that is meant to target your g-spot. Meanwhile it has specific pointed ends that are meant to target both the clit and the anus on opposite ends. On the surface this one sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well in many ways it is. The Beautiful G-Spot Butterfly has some definite positive points, but for $50 there are better toys and better butterflies on the market.
For a Jelly toy this isn’t so bad. It’s firmer than a lot of the others I have come in contact with and it has potential. However, there are some issues. For starters, and perhaps one of the biggest negatives, is the weight of the toy. It’s incredibly heavy. In fact, it’s heavy enough to not want to stay inserted unless you have on some form-fitting panties on to keep it in place, and even then it seems to fall out. So, if you’re planning to wear this out for a night on the town, despite its quiet nature it probably won’t work out.
Next is the issue of the penis and the length. The toy is five inches long. While it does serve a purpose at the length it is, a few added inches wouldn’t have hurt. However, it probably wouldn’t have helped the weight of this either. So, I guess you’re screwed (though not literally) either way, eh? It does not target the G-spot as effectively as I would have liked it to at this length. A nicer way to put it is that it’s limited in how it targets those sweet spots. When lying down you are going to be in a better position to reach orgasm. Sitting up with this may end up making you feel uncomfortable instead of overly stimulated.
While the penis has its issues, the stimulating ends do, as well. Likewise, these are just a bit too small, especially when sitting up, to do their job with precision. Again if you are lying down you can position the ends better, but this won’t work when you are up and moving. Of course, this is the type of toy that you want to use in different positions whether you are on the go or not. The problem is that you have to lie down to get the best use out of the Beautiful G-Spot Butterfly.
The unit offers five different speeds that deal with the vibration of the ends and the rotation of the penis. Even at the highest speed I felt that the levels were not high enough to do anything, but get me hot and leave me frustrated. That was probably the worst part of all, though I am sure that in the right position this could make some women feel mighty nice. I just do not feel that it ends up being worth it if you have to position yourself to make it work the way that it should in any position (given the nature of the toy). Due to these issues and taking in the factor of the price, I have to say that you can find plenty of better vibrators out there in this price range.

The film was shot in high definition so it comes out looking fairly decent. The angles are good and things go together well. The sound also works well, though I have to admit there were times when I wish it hadn’t worked so well. The music in this film is utterly dreadful where porn is concerned. The music reminded me of Lifetime-infused elevator music. It never gave me the sex vibe and it never matched the sex on screen. I call it elevator music, but I think if Evan Valentine would have been blowing Tommy Gunn while they were heading up to the third floor (lingerie) it still wouldn’t have had that sex vibe. Needless to say, the music was location friendly, but not fuck-friendly.
I came upon Liberator by accident. I was writing for a client that was obsessed with the company. I will admit that the products looked interesting. They did catch my eye. However, most of the shapes come with a mighty price tag, which caused me to put the site away before I really got interested. A few months later I came across the site again. The second time around they had some new shapes. One of those shapes is a huge round shape akin to a bean bag with a lot more uses. However, the price was still hefty and I was worried about paying that much money if it could end up not being worth it. I have heard this fear quite a bit. Now that I have tried the Zeppelin, I can honestly say, it’s worth every penny and then some.
