Writing for Eden Cafe

I just had my second submission accepted for Eden Cafe, which is awesome! But then the two things I submitted for them could have been blog posts instead. I was a little conflicted about it, but then I found out that there can be only four submissions in the queue per author at a time. I'll write two more things for the queue, then I'll work on blog content.

Weeee! Content! Like how much fun it is to use glass toys in the bathtub! I could definitely get a post going on that.

Pleaurists 145

Mmmm... Love the pic! Bears are HOT, body hair on men is HOT and this model is SMOKING HOT!!! Good for Pleasurists for picking someone that doesn't fit the traditional standard of beauty to headline this issue!

Editor’s Pick

• Fresh Beaded Nipple Huggers by CLP

Since there is no tension, they just fall right off every time I lean forward or shake too hard. They don’t ‘hug’ the nipple, but instead balance like paperclips on a pencil eraser–which is every bit as unsexy as it sounds. I did try to tighten the loop a bit, but the metal was pretty stubborn and did not budge enough for me to bend to size. I stopped just short of breaking them.

Note: It’s not the I love negative reviews, but often bad products lead to good writing and fun ways to say “it sucks.” Accompanying this review are some gorgeous pictures, it’s unfortunate they look far better than they work or actually are.

My first vlog! (sort of)

I made my first vlog for Eden Cafe's Topic of the Month. But since I'm a bit video shy, I did it in Xtranormal instead, and picked one of their actresses to represent me. I hope you like it! I certainly had fun making it, and perhaps will make more. We'll see!

On to the reviews…

Cut or Uncut?

David: circumcised in life,
intact in sculpture.

Which do you prefer? Cut or uncut cock?

My first experiences were with circumcised penises, but when I handled my first intact cock, I was an instant convert. I find them so much easier to give hand jobs and blow jobs to, and I love playing with the foreskin. One of my favourite things is to put my tongue between head and foreskin. Mmmmm! And ever since I learned how an intact cock looks 'in the wild' so to speak, I've never been able to see cut ones the same way. One day, I hope cyberskin technology improves enough to make dildos with functional foreskins. When that happens, I will be in toy heaven!

That said, I would never let that be the deal breaker of a relationship. For one thing, you usually don't learn the status of a man's junk until you've invested some time in getting to know him. For another, very few circumcised men had a choice in the matter. It was either done when they were infants, or done later in life for medical reasons. But of course the most important reason is that cocks are fun toys, whatever their shape or size!

Lovers Premium Hot Massage Hearts (3 Pack)

Lovers Premium Hot Massage Hearts

At the time of my order the product page didn't show the size of the hearts, but a quick use of Live Chat, and Lovehoney's excellent customer service was happy to check on it for me. They are about 3 1/2 inches across, or about palm sized.

My only disappointment came when I opened the box. The art on the box shows each heart with words saying Love, Kisses, or Sweet. But the actual hearts are as shown on the product page, with the Lovers Premium logo in white covering most of one side. The reverse of the heart is clear. I wouldn't have noticed the logo really if the box art hadn't been different, but it does make me want the cuter style.

Before you activate them, the hearts are malleable, with the liquid inside of a gel consistency. Once you click the little metallic disk inside, the liquid starts to crystallize and grow very warm. I'm not sure of the science, but sometimes it takes two or three tries for the clicker to take. Once it does, the crystallizing happens immediately. You can't mistake it!

If you are using it on someone else, you'll want to test the heat with them before just plopping it down - it's just a little too hot for me to have on my bare skin at first. When it is first activated, it is still a bit flexible, but as it cools, it ends up very rigid. I'd say it lasts about 30-45 minutes? I didn't time it.

To reactivate them, I tried at first putting them in a bowl and pouring boiling water from the kettle over them. The crystals started to melt, but when I went back later, they'd gone hard again. So my next try, I put them on the stove and let them boil until they melted - about 5 minutes.

I find the size is perfect for dealing with muscle knots. I tend to get them around my shoulder blades, and it's easy to slip them underneath me until I'm laying on the perfect spot. It's more precise than using a heating pad, and it helps to release the tension nicely.

Overall, I love them, and will be using them more for myself than for anything romantic. But the size is perfect, and the price is excellent. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Verdict: 5 out of 5 stars
