Resolutions for 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, 2012 is finally here! The end of the current Maya calendar - doomsday for some, a new start for others, and a lot of $$$ for some people writing scary shit about the end of the world. Or like my friend Itzel (a Maya descendant) likes to say, the year of "I don't give a fuck!"

Regardless if it is the end of the world as we know it, I made up some resolutions (just in case this planet keeps moving on December 22, 2012. I know resolutions are as strong as wet cheap toilet paper, but anyway, these are my resolutions for 2012:

1. I will limit my sex toy purchases. The plan is to buy just 10 toys this year - no more. I barely have space in my apartment and time to enjoy the ones I have will become scarce during the year. (This resolution doesn't apply to the ones ordered in December.)

2. I will watch each and every one of the movies I have. In the past 2 years I have collected a ton of porn. I have hundreds of porn movies and I haven't watched even a quarter of them. The goal this year is to watch all of them... or at least not adding to the collection until I do.

3. Enjoy life and new experiences. If the world is going to end, why are we holding our true selves? This year I plan to experience whatever I want and enjoy every single sexual moment I have. Nothing illegal allowed, but if it is legal and I want to try it, it will be done!

4. Enjoy what I have while I have it. No more envy, no more greed, no more selfishness in ALL aspects of my life.

That's it. A few simple resolutions that hopefully will be easier to achieve than loosing weight...

RPP 2.0 #19: Fleshlight's Blade (RPP #47)

Continuing the series of "past-due" reviews, today I will be discussing the Fleshlight's Blade sleeve. Usually, when I finish the five testing sessions with a sleeve / onahole, I already have formed an opinion about it: I either like it or not, and can give a clear description of the reasons for my opinion. With the Blade, I had to go to the extra mile to review it - all that due to the new flexible case. Lets go to the review and let me expand...

Blade sleeve (ILF / Fleshlight

Review

The Blade is an interesting idea from ILF. Like its Fleshjack cousin the Sword, the Blade was designed to be a compact sized sleeve with enough space for the larger guys. At the same time, both sleeves introduced a new concept from ILF - the squeezable case!

Unlike all FLs / SIACs, the cases of both the Blade and the Sword is made of a flexible rubber-like plastic that allows you to squeeze it a little bit to add pressure and tightness to the sleeve. The new case plus a new pear-shaped orifice make the Blade a lot easier to grip when compared to the standard Fleshlight and the SIACs. Since here the case adds a new variable to the system, I will review both the case AND the texture.

The Case - What I like...
I like the shape and the graphic design of the case. The flexible case has the design of a katana handle allowing for a far superior grip during use and for a Japanese art fan like me, the design and the antique bronze color look cool as hell. The pear shape of the sleeve also helps in improving the grip, since your hand is in a more natural position. In addition, the material is soft enough for you to squeeze up to feeling your penis inside the sleeve, but strong enough to avoid you choking your little friend too hard.

The Case - What I don't like

The bad news for the Blade (IMO), is when you begin to use it. The case has four small holes on the bottom and a big removable tab on the center. The removable tab is to change the suction inside the texture and although I used the sleeve with and without it, I could not feel a big difference besides being able to feel the texture a little bit better. That was not that bad... The bad part were the four little holes.

See, I like to have long sessions. One way to achieve that is using a little bit of extra lube at the beginning of the session, so with the friction some of it gets consumed and the remaining lube reactivates with my pre-cum. That allows me to have sessions longer than 30 minutes without reapplying lube.

With the traditional FLs and the SIACs that method has not been a problem at all even when having the session without the end cap of the hard cases. With the Blade, even an extra drop created a mess of lube all over the case after a few minutes of use. Why? Simple - when you penetrate the lubed sleeve, air pushes some of the lube towards the end of the sleeve. And guess what you have in the end? The damned four small holes that serve as gates for the extra lube to exit and create a wet mess all over the hand you are using to stroke. Hands free sessions are even worse because the leaked lube wets everything in contact with the cover. The only way I was able to enjoy the sleeve without worrying about the mess was closing the holes with electric tape.

The texture

The Blade inner texture (ILF / Fleshlight)

 The texture of the Blade is a tested classic in the masturbation sleeve industry - a series of medium thickness ribs forming various chambers that change in  diameter. This texture in a hard case would make you explode with its intensity in a few minutes, but in the flexible case it expands a little bit more, allowing your penis to last a little bit longer. Press the case, and the ribs are slightly more noticeable, taking you to the edge. Release the case, and the chambers keep you at the edge. Once you are at that level, the Blade keeps you there, guessing what combination of pressure and speed will make you orgasm and which one will help you to stay on the edge a little bit more.


Finding that sweet spot take a few uses (in my case, I needed to fix the leakage issue first), but once you find it, the Blade becomes a good sleeve. Cleaning as always is easy, but removing and replacing the sleeve in the case takes some practice due to the pear shape.

Verdict:

The Blade is a good sleeve, allowing you to build intense orgasms - once you get used to the gimmicks of the flexible case.

RPP 2.0 #18: Fleshligth Freaks Vampire (RPP #46)

For the second of today's "past-due" reviews, I will go over the FLF Vampire - the Fleshlight to complement the Succu-Dry SIAC and allow us to fuck the pussy of a vampire.

Now, let's review the Vamp!

Review

The Vamp (in my opinion) is the most elegant orifice of the FLF series. A regular orifice with the pussy lips resembling bat wings is simple and elegant as it can be. Then the design of the sleeve is also a minimalist design: a series of slanted wide ribs like the ones found in the Love Humps alternating with slanted rows of STU sized nubs.

Like the Love Humps, the Vamp is what I call mid-intensity sleeves. It is a sleeve that keeps you in control, allowing to extend your session as much as you want. In my case, I took my time nailing this undead pussy and received good, draining orgasms. It is not as a drainer as the Succu-Dry, but it gives a cool sensation for a goth / vampire fantasy.


Cleaning and drying is pretty easy. As with all FL models, you just need to wash with running water and let air dry. It dries pretty fast, often overnight.

Verdict:

The Vamp is a good sleeve to have, although it does not provide unique sensations during use.

RPP 2.0 #17: Fleshlight Freaks - Cyborg (RPP #45)

The Holidays had been a total rush in Casa Casquetero between work, school, health issues and family situations. Now I have a few vacation days to reset my life, review my priorities and recharge the batteries for the New Year!

So, to start resetting my life I will give a series of "past-due" reviews I could not write during the last two months. I tested these toys as usual, but couldn't sit down and write appropriate reviews for them. Better late than never...  The first one of these "past due" reviews is the one for the Fleshlight Freaks Cyborg sleeve, the first "non-organic" pussy from IFL.

Now, let's review the Cyborg!

Review

The Cyborg is maybe the FLF (Fleshlight Freak) with the lowest reception of all. Maybe it is because it looks and performs as a low intensity sleeve very similar to the Original and the Lotus - and FL users tend to prefer high intensity textures such as the Destroya.

The Cyborg texture has an interesting orifice with pussy lips that create a nice vacuum when you go deep and caress your shaft if you go shallow on it. The interior has a short ribbed section, followed with what I call "the circuit" - a thin series of lines made to replicate the look of circuits that will lightly rub your penis head or shaft depending on how long you are or how deep you go into the sleeve. Then you find a series of soft chambers that feel as shorter sections of the Love Humps. It is definitively a low intensity sleeve, designed for longer sessions.

Personally, I liked this sleeve. Since it was designed as a low intensity sleeve, it allows you to go longer - up to an hour if you want to. Still, the sleeve has a surprise for those that like long sessions: The circuit begins to torture your shaft after a while. If you are "short" like me, that circuit strip will rub your engorged penis head driving you insane and into overdrive. Orgasms with this "bland" sleeve had been some of the longest and fulfilling I have had with a rubber pussy. Using it hands-free, changing the angle of penetration helped to delay the circuit torture, but it still hit strong whenever my penis head was swollen and ready to shoot.

Cleaning and drying is pretty easy. As with all FL models, you just need to wash with running water and let air dry. It dries pretty fast, often overnight.

Verdict:

The Cyborg is a must have for those who like to take their time when masturbating. It is a low intensity texture, so stay away from it if you want regular and constant stimulus.

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.

RPP 2.0 #16: Fleshlight Freaks - Monster (RPP #44)

Oh my! It has been almost a month since the last post! Well, I had been too busy to write updates, but not that busy to not play with my toys! Let's get up to date with the review of one of my most recent purchases, the Fleshlight Freaks! Monster sleeve.

During October, ILF unveiled their new line of "Freaks" inspired in classic Halloween monsters: Frankestein, Dracula, the Zombies, and added a futuristic Cyborg to the lineup. Completing the group of fantasy masturbation sleeves is the Alien sleeve, an already favorite of Fleshcrack addicts worldwide.

I got the  Monster (a.k.a. Frankenstein), the Cyborg, and the Vampire (a.k.a. Dracula) sleeves. The Zombie will have to wait until I receive extra funds and I find another place to store my ridiculously large collection of sex toys...

Now, let's review the Monster!

Review

Monster texture (Frankenstein Fleshlight Freaks) Photo: ILF / Fleshlight.com

The Monster texture (a.k.a the Frankenstein) has a vaginal entrance with the stitches design characteristic of the Frankenstein monster - not an extremely visually arousing view, but I don't look at the sleeve while using it. In the interior, the texture is a busy one. A Lotus cervical node welcomes you, followed by a single row of bumps and a series of threads or ribs. Then, your penis will find a thick trilobe gate before facing the "scar".

The sleeve design guarantees that no matter how long you are, you receive plenty of stimulation. The sleeve has a little bit of everything to keep your penis busy and when your penis head finally hits the scar, the triangular design tickles the head giving a great feeling.

Surprisingly, the sleeve allows for control during use. Go slow at it, and the orgasm will build to a degree that will provoke one of those eye-turning, fist clenching, ball draining orgasms that we love to have. Going fast and hard at the Monster, will make it angry, making you come pretty fast. Treat the Monster nicely and you will be rewarded with a nut for the ages.

Cleaning and drying is pretty easy. As with all FL models, you just need to wash with running water and let air dry. It dries pretty fast, often overnight.

Verdict:

The Monster is a good texture to add to your collection - if you don't mind looking at the Frankenstein's stapled pussy...

RPP 2.0 #15: Peach Pai Masturbation Sleeve (RPP #43)

Japanese toys are the weirdest in the world, both in names and in concepts. One of these weird concepts is the Peach Pai. It has a funny name - it reminded me of the now classic American Pie scene where the guy sticks his penis into a nice and warm pie - and a funny appearance thanks to its slight curve. Apparently, in Japanese Peach Pai refers to soft and round breasts and this sleeve take that concept to the masturbation sleeve. Is it good?  It is simply weird?  Lets go to the review so I can share the details...

Review

The Peach Pai is a soft masturbator sleeve manufactured by Toys Heart in Japan and it is an interesting concept. It has three main sections: a bumped section with a pair of "breast-shaped" bumps with nipples, another two smooth bumps, then a short thick ribs section, ending with a bulb shaped smooth section. The sleeve has a short curve at the entrance making its looks kind of funny.

The Peach Pai is a sleeve on the $25 range and it shows. Its material is soft - almost like life feeling while you use it - but still has the resistance and consistency of something artificial. It is designed to be used as a hand-held device, giving a good grip and allowing to be squeezed as desired while using it. One of the reasons of the bulb shaped smooth section at the end of the sleeve is to allow the user to squeeze and remove air from the interior of the sleeve, increasing the suction of the closed end design. A unique thing about the spongy material of the Peach Pai is that when you press it, the material distributes the pressure - you don't feel the points where your fingers are pressing, but you feel the pressure all over your penis.

Although it is designed as a handheld masturbator, the Peach Pai fits perfectly in the vaginal cavities of most low-end solid dolls such as the Teddy Babes, the Venus R torso, and other Japanese made dolls. Using it placed into one of these dolls changes the experience, giving a soft and nice orgasm build up thanks to the softness of the material and the natural feeling stimulation provided by the three different structures. Depending on both the depth and the angle of penetration, you can feel as if you are fucking three different pussies.

The sleeve size allows for most men to enjoy it, but be aware that the entrance lips are tight and they get easily ripped after a few uses. As in most Japanese toys, the softness of the material has the disadvantage of how much punishment it can take. 

The Peach Pie is a closed sleeve, so get ready for a difficult clean up with water and some soap. Drying this sleeve takes time, so I will recommend to use a thin cloth to dry excess water from the inside as soon as you wash it. Also, a bit of alcohol helps to avoid mold development due to the material's porosity.

Verdict:

The Peach Pai is an interesting sleeve to have in your collection if you like low intensity toys. It is fun to use by yourself or with your partner and if you like to use dolls to play, it is a good insert to play through long sessions. It is fun to use, but mostly for doll use.
