What's going on here?

A friend of the blog recently sent a message asking about new postings. To answer his question, I haven't posted because I had been busy - extremely busy - with school, work, and life outside masturbation.

My job is driving me insane, loading me with lots and lots of stress, which in turn had made some health conditions to re-surface. Lets say that during the weekends - when I usually post here - I am either trying to recover from a hell of a work week, in extreme pain thanks to nerve system conditions, or simply knocked down with a heavy dose of painkillers for my nerve condition. Add the regular rush of the Holidays and you can figure why I had not posted in a while...

Does that mean that I haven't been choking the chicken whenever I can? HELL NO!!!

Let's  give you an idea of what we  had been going around in Casa Casquetero:

1. Got a Teddy Babe Deluxe for my collection. Last month I added Victoria to my increasing collection of sex dolls. Victoria is a second-hand Teddy Babe Deluxe (Carly model) I got from a TDF member. Unlike the TBs, TBDs are taller (5'2") and their proportions are more human-like. The coolness factor for this doll is that it was custom made by its previous owner with different eye colors and made brunette. 
2. Made a "female" sleeping pillow. Just after receiving "Victoria", my health began to worsen, so I needed a body pillow to aid me sleeping. (One of my conditions require me to avoid pressure on my right side while sleeping). I had body pillows, but they pissed me off because I need two to allow me to rest my whole body (I'm 6 ft tall). I wanted for a pillow long enough to allow me to rest my whole body at once. My prayers were answered when a local store liquidated a bunch of Halloween stuffed dummies. My mind calculated the measurements and decided they were perfect. After a few minor modifications (a few stitches here and there, additional filling material, a larger Styrofoam head, and a wig), Lala was born. Basically a body pillow with female form, "she" is the ultimate cuddling body pillow: 6'3" tall, 36 D breasts to grab, and a trim but soft ass to cling to. Still, her hands are alike a trucker's hands, but well, nothing in life is perfect. 
3. Got a weird hands-free masturbator. Remember the Cobra Libre? Well, I realized I was not a big fan of it, but due to my increasingly busted back, I needed something similar to relieve my "lower tension" without moving too much. I found an answer in E-bay with the Bolo Masturbator (http://bolomalemasturbator.com/). This thing is sold as the ultimate help to avoid prostate cancer by promoting robust ejaculations. Personally, I didn't believe that crap when I bought it - I just wanted something to make me cum without me requiring moving. Well, the thingy works like the Cobra Libre, but it is cheaper ($50), simpler to setup, and it is more powerful. Still, I feel cheated. Why? After receiving it, I realized that it looked vaguely familiar, something that I confirmed a few days ago when I saw a cheap back massager. The Bolo is nothing else that two of the motors with some straps attached! I bought one of the chair massagers ($10), reverse engineered it and now I have the prototype of a bitchin' Turbo Vibro Fleshlight  - a FL Vibro so powerful that makes the Cobra Libre look like a child's toy. I will try to improve it during the Holidays (if my nerves allow it).
4. Finally got into a Tenga Flip Lite. I had heard so much of these mini Tenga Flip Holes that I wanted one badly - but was put away due to their tiny girth allowance. I snatched one in liquidation and the verdict is that if your penis is above 4 inches in girth simply forgetaboutit. The damn thing is like a vise grip and even if it will suck you dry, it is so tight you won't feel shit of the texture. Good thing I only "wasted" $30.

Well that is all for now...

I will continue the reviews as soon my health allows for it - meanwhile I will post about a few things related to the science of self pleasure in the next few weeks.

Quickies Episode 1

Suddenly I realized that during August I won't have regular access to the Web because I will be out of the country, so I decided to write as many reviews I could. In this first episode of Quickies, I will be doing short reviews of a few toys, lubes, and condoms I have used recently.

#1 - imPress Cock Ring

I'm not a big fan of cock rings, but this one really impressed me. It has a series of unique characteristics that made me enjoy using it. First it is a hard silicone that feels comfortable no matter how long you wear it. Second, it is fully adjustable in increments that guarantee a perfect fit. Third, it is easy to remove in case of emergency: You just need to unsnap it and your penis  is free. If you are a fan of cock rings or are interested on using them, try the imPress.

#2 - Fleshlube Ice / Fleshlube Fire

Part of the lube offerings from ILF / Fleshlight.com, Fleshlight Ice and Fleshlight Fire are two water based lubricants that have either a cooling (Ice) or warming effect (Fire) on the applied area(s). Fire warms the area for a few minutes, feeling slightly oily and grainy when applied. Ice cools for longer periods of time and doesn't feel as oily or grainy as Fire. My personal favorite of the two  is the Ice, since it allows to delay the ejaculation for a little bit. It also gives idea for the "frozen" session: having a session with a sleeve that had been stored in the freezer for a few hours and then using the Ice lube. I haven't done it yet, but whenever I do it, I will share the experience here.

#3 - Euphoria Enhanced Prostate Stimulator

I have shared here my experiences with prostate stimulation using the Aneros MGX. The Euphoria is from one of their competitors - and it gives Aneros a good fight. The Euphoria is bigger than the Aneros MGX by maybe 15% of the volume, giving a slight more pressure to the prostate. If you are a big guy like me, the Euphoria feels better since the prostate location varies depending on your body structure. The best part of the Euphoria is that it cost HALF the price of the comparable sized Aneros. If you are into prostate stimulation and are looking for a more economic alternative, have the Euphoria in your wish list.

#4 - Vibrating Silicone Prostate Stimulator

Speaking of prostate stimulation, why not combining prostate stimulation and vibration? It is a good idea that I couldn't  avoid trying - and it is good. This prostate stimulator is a softer alternative to the Aneros and if you want to add an extra "umph", turn on the vibrations to experience a new level of stimulation. The vibrations go directly to the prostate allowing for completely hands free prostate orgasms. Now, this stimulator has two problems: it doesn't stay put if you are having sex and the vibrator part sometimes decides not to work at all. Those two issues aside, this prostate stimulator is a decent alternative to other vibrating prostate stimulators.


#5 - LifeStyles Ultra Sensitive Condoms
These condoms had become my favorites for the last few months. They are thin but resistant, allowing for good sensations and what I like the most is the rounded tip to secure it in place and providing room for the penis head to expand during ejaculation. Available in your favorite department store or pharmacy.
