Electro Sex: Tingling to Intense Sensation, for New to Advanced Players

I’m kinky, for sure. But when I was asked to explore the KinkLab Neon Wand® Electrosex Kit I was intimidated.

This is a toy that creates an electrical discharge across the surface of the skin and it is visually stunning. It plays with your senses. When you turn it on, the glass attachments (also called electrodes) glow violet or red. Watching the electricity dance inside the glass tubes and on the skin is totally mesmerizing.  Turn the lights down low and the glow is more intense. It is a beautiful way to amplify your lover’s anticipation, be it fear or excitement.

The wand itself is plastic and comes neatly packed in a case. Each glass attachment sits safely in its own foam compartment. I love the little user manual that comes with it. The manual clearly outlines safety, care and play. All you have to do is pick the attachment of your choice, pop it in the end of the wand, plug the wand in, turn it on and you are ready to play. So simple.

The static electric sensations it delivers can go from subtle, warm and tingly, to focus, intense and even painful. You control how much sensation you want to deliver. There are a couple of reasons why the sensations can vary so greatly. First you have a setting dial on the wand itself. Second, the attachment you choose will also have an impact on the intensity.

The larger the attachment, the less sensation it gives because the electricity is spread out over the surface of the skin. So the comb shaped electrode delivers the least amount of sensation, while the 90° Probe is the most intense because the pointed tip delivers all the focus to one pin-pointed spot. The kit comes with four electrodes to choose from. There are three more electrodes sold separately.

You can play with the dial, attachments, how close you are to your partner’s skin and see for yourself. You can also amp the sensation up even more by applying massage oil or lotion to the skin.

Take it all a few steps further by adding the Power Tripper to your kit. Pop the end of the Power Tripper into your wand, tuck the metal disk into your bra, panties, boot or wherever it can sit flush to your skin, and then you become the conductor of sensation. Use your fingertips, your tongue or nipples to create sparks between you and your lover. Hold a metal toy (like a Wartenberg Pinwheel) in your hands and it becomes your conductor. The possibilities are endless.

I love the variable settings, it’s light weight in my hands and when compared to comparable items, it feel less fragile. In terms of hygiene, you never have to touch the other person’s skin, or if you do touch skin you can swab it down with 75% alcohol. After a little research, an easy user manual, and a very willing guinea pig to explore with- I am a total convert!

Pair it with some restraints or a blindfold and watch your lover squirm with the sensations.


 

Sex Before Dinner: The Best Valentine’s Date Ever

My ultimate Valentines date plan? Start right now. Tell your partner that you have something planned. Have them set February 14th aside. Tell them they’ll need to dress sexy, but don’t tell them what you have planned. You want to stir up anticipation because anticipation hot!

Your goal is to spoil yourself and spoil your lover. On Valentine’s day I want you to give yourself plenty of time to prepare. Take some time to make yourself feel sexy.

All sex play starts with your skin. When shaving, avoid harsh scents that can irritate your skin. Instead use a quality shave cream like JO Shaving Cream Women Pure or JO Shaving Cream Men Adrenaline. You’ll have no bumps, rash or irritation, even in your most sensitive areas.

One of my absolute favorite after bath rituals? Kama Sutra Honey Dust Body Powder. It inhibits sweat, tastes sweet and is never sticky. After you towel off, powder any spots you want to feel your lover’s lips. Or get a Kama Sutra Weekender Kit and get a taste of this and more of the inspiring treats Kama Sutra makes.  Then go on to primp and dress nice. If you feel sexy, you are sexy.

Prepare light, sexy nibbles; think chocolate, cheese, fruit and drinks of your choice. You can then feed each other and then move right into the sex! Yes, before dinner.

One of the biggest mistakes we make on a date is to save sex for the end of the evening. By that point you’ve had a big meal, you are half drunk, you are tired. I want you to get it on when you are little hungry, while your energy level is high. I want you to get your heart beating and muscles working and your skin all flush. All before dinner!

But again, be ready for awesome sex. Have condoms within reach. (Kitchen drawer, hand bag, glove box or anywhere you may want to get it on! Kimono is one of my favorite brands. If you have a massive cock (some people do!) they have larger sizes too.

Think about the things that light the two of you up. If you like erotica, get a copy of Sweet Life Erotic Fantasies for Couples and read to each other. Or read it before Valentines, highlight your favorite parts and give it your lover as a gift.

Do you like to give and receive massages? Get a fresh bottle of massage oil. I love Kama Sutra Massage Oil Sweet Almond. It’s a light scent that is perfect for all genders. You’ll spoil each other, feel good and smell luscious.

Like it a little more rough? I hope so. And if so, you might want to take a look at this blindfold, wrist restraints, ankle restraints and collar with hearts inlayed. You might also want this red heart paddle or the braided red crop. Go ahead- torture them with love, lust, pain or pleasure. You want to make sure they’ll never forget where they got those gifts!

Once you have turned each other upside down, it’s time for dinner. You can cook something you both love, order in or go to your favorite restaurant. Best of all, you can feast upon each other; skin all flush, panties wet, body relaxed and with lust in your hearts.

We hope you love them as much as we do and we look forward to bringing you even more tantalizing toys and gear in 2013!

In no particular order, here are our Top 12 picks for the items that captured our heart!

Minna Ola:
http://stockroom.com/Minna-Ola–P4797.aspx
When it comes time for toe-curling solo adventures, the less knob turning and dialing tweaking needed the better while still maintaining the best in sexual technology. This is why we love the Minna Ola. All that’s needed is the squeeze of a hand to make its engine roar and your kitten purr.

Power Tripper:
http://stockroom.com/Power-Tripper-TM-P4790.aspx
We are definitely fans of a kiss that leaves you tingling and this exhilarating attachment for the KinkLab Neon Wand does just that, turning your every touch and caress into a jolting experience!

Sex & Metal Severe Pinwheel:
http://www.stockroom.com/Sex-and-Metal-Severe-Pinwheel-P4833.aspx
Some of the sexiest and most desirable pleasure devices are forged from the designs of medieval torture items and the Severe Pinwheel definitely falls in that category. The needle-sharp barbs and durable metal construction bring a delicious sense of danger to your sensation play (it also works as an e-stim toy with the Power Tripper!)

Toy Two:
http://www.stockroom.com/Toy-Two–P4802.aspx
We believe that sometimes an inch can go a mile and this smooth silicone finger extension toy designed especially to stimulate the female g-spot does just that. This toy is guaranteed to make your 2 finger position really hit the spot.

Sex & Metal Secretary Yoke:
http://www.stockroom.com/Sex-and-Metal-Secretary-Yoke-P4841.aspx
Versatility is the name of the game with this dungeon instrument, combining four restraint staples into an interchangeable unit for one seriously sexy, sturdy steel implement.

Well of Misery Ball Stretcher:
http://stockroom.com/Well-Of-Misery-Ball-Stretcher-P4777.aspx
Cold steel and unforgiving bolted grips give this ball stretcher a stern and unique brutality that we simply love! The Well of Misery boasts attractive & adjustable weighted rings that hold snug & fast around the testicles, giving you an exciting range of sensual, to painful possibilities

Nip Suck
http://stockroom.com/Nip-Suck-P4736.aspx
The strong suction of these twistable cups creates an irresistible force to stimulate your nipples, neck, or any other sensitive place you can think of!

French Military Gas Mask
http://stockroom.com/French-Military-Gas-Mask-P4800.aspx
Nothing gets our hearts (& other parts!) throbbing like a little authentic role play. Try a “Behind Enemy Lines” French Resistance scenario, or a post-doomsday bunker scene!

Latex Executioner Hoodie
http://stockroom.com/Latex-Executioner-Hoodie-P4863.aspx
Be the talk of the track meet when you show up in this unique top! Somewhere between fetish and fitness lies this sporty rubber number; its freshness and playful panache land it on our favorites of 2012 list. Don’t forget the matching track pants!

Hammerhead Masturbator Attachment
http://www.stockroom.com/VibeRite-R-Hammerhead-Masturbator-Attachment-P4928.aspx
We’ve been aching to get something especially the boys with our VibeRite(R) Personal Massager, and this soft sleeve fits the bill (and your junk) perfectly! Now everyone can play!

Heavy Duty Steel Wrist Cuffs
http://www.stockroom.com/Heavy-Duty-Steel-Wrist-Cuffs-P4832.aspx
Our New Year’s Resolution was to beef up our selection of steel bondage restraints, and we’re very impressed with these heavy duty offerings. In addition to the exquisite design, we’re in love with the Allen wrench fasteners, leaving the worries of lost keys and embarrassing locksmith calls forever behind us.

Instigator #23
http://stockroom.com/Instigator-Magazine-23-P4803.aspx
No one should be surprised when they see this on our coffee table or nightstand – We’re all mesmerized by the audacity and flawless execution of the most brilliantly filthy gay men’s magazine in history.

From all of us at Stockroom, have a wonderful, decadent & safe New Years Eve & 2013! 

Stockroom Holiday Gift Guide

We’d love to help you figure out how to find that perfect gift for that perfect person, so we’ve put together a collection of items sure to put a twinkle in the eye of the ones you adore.

Corporal Punishment was always a loose cannon. That’s why the brass left him to die in a tiger cage somewhere in the Samangan Province of Afghanistan. But he came back, and now he’s here to dispense justice with the aid of his trusty Fuck Saw and other implements of militant sexuality. Will his enhanced interrogation methods give him the response he craves – or can you resist his efforts to break you?

Winners of Our ‘What Would I Do If I Won a $250 Stockroom Gift Certificate’ Contest!

Thanks again to everyone who participated in our “What Would I Do if I Won a $250 Stockroom Gift Certificate Contest!” We truly enjoyed reading all of your entries and had an incredibly hard time choosing our winners. Below are the three winning entries for your reading pleasure. Enjoy, and don’t worry, we plan on holding more contests in the near future!

    $250 Grand Prize Gift Certificate Winner –

Well firstly let me say that at 38 yrs of age I have just come off a journey with the church where I was to become a consecrated virgin. A lot has happened in the last 12 months. I have been on a sexuality retreat for women, I got kissed by a man for the first time and loved it, we got to have a bit of a play touching each other, so YES I am still a virgin. Although tomorrow morning as it happens I am meeting with a Dom off Fetlife ( I friended him and he added me to his private BDSM Facebook group as I am now on a journey of discovering everything I can about sexuality, all aspects of it! From there someone directed me to Fetlife as there is a group for any newbies! ). So in the morning I am having an interview for a rope bunny role. I am not expecting to get it, however I will be required to sit there in front of another human being and share what my sexual desires are and what I wish to get out of the role, as well as that I have asked of a separate subject if he would be willing to mentor me and allow my first sexual experiences to be with him, hopefully I will be able to build this into a proper D/s relationship.

Even though I am a virgin my deepest darkest desires are surfacing from before I was even ten, now they have developed into wanting to experience submission, spanking, restraint, oral sex, anal sex, caning, electro play, I want to experience all this and so much more with him, and if down the track the trust is really there and we have developed that intimate two way relationship then he can have my main virginity as well, but he will have to earn it. So until then I am pretty sure that he may be able to pick out a couple of items to use on me. I know he wants to experiment with electro play, so maybe an e-stim, a couple of butt plugs or anal beads. Nipple clamps appeal with weights, as does a nice flogger. I would like some nice relaxing massage oil so I can apply it to his beautiful muscular body after he has finished playing with me and lays there completely blissed out after using and dominating my body any way he pleases.

    $50 Gift Certificate Winner –

I’m a man of contrasting tastes, so if – dare I say, when! – I were to win this contest, I would want to start with the Triskeli Collar, as it’s about time I let my flag fly a little more noticeably (since I work in a public library, it can double as a reference point!). From there, I’d get the Ball Gag and Blindfold Harness – not being able to see what’s coming is a huge turn-on for me, and being effectively silenced is something I’ve always wanted to try. While using that, I want to try one of The Rude Boys – a close friend of mine told me how great they were, and while I trust her opinion, I gotta experience it for myself! And speaking of self-experience and contrast, that brings me to the last item…Mike’s Spikes. I can’t think of anything better to wrap it all up! I’ve had my eye on that particular portable prick-pinching product for some time now; it makes the masochist in me swoon.

Now, I know that I’m $9 over the certificate amount of $250, but…that’s a small price to pay for the immense pleasure that would come from not only winning, but the items above! Even if I don’t win (don’t get me wrong, I want to win harder than nipples being pinched by Extreme Talon Nipple Clamps) it was worth the time to come up with this email. Thanks for the opportunity and I hope you pick me!

    Stockroom T-Shirt Winner –

First of all, I just want to say how much I love your site and your store. I’m sure this is nothing new to hear, but I have spent hours gazing at all of the wonderfully tantalizing possibilities that rack my brain.

Which brings me to the first reason of why I believe you should pick me. I have only been able to gaze longingly at your products, and not purchase. I’m a struggling young professional and have no budget to indulge in my ultimate fantasies in such a luxurious manner. Sure, I’ve been able to use make-shift items into bondage and sensual pleasure, but I want to take it to a new level and finally incorporate real leather and safer restraints into my repertoire. While I have dabbled in some BDSM/kink play, I am still a beginner and the certificate would allow one more person to more fully step into this glorious community that the Stockroom is so important to. This would be an important stepping stone to exploring my sexuality and seeing what limits my body (and my partner) can endure. Wouldn’t you feel so proud to be a part of what would help mold my exploratory sexuality?!

My second reason is that I am striving to become a sex therapist and having a certificate to Stockroom would allow me to become more acquainted with types of toys, play, and lifestyles and in turn, be a more informed therapist and sexuality educator. While I can learn from workshops, lectures, talking to others or reading about something in a book, there is nothing like getting a first hand experience of what my clients might experience in their personal life. Incorporating this into my personal life will allow me to be a more reliable and knowledgeable professional. But I can’t do it on my ramen dinner budget.

I want this certificate for the good of my sexual identity and for the good of my community 🙂

And finally, I can’t express how badly I’ve been wanting a swing and some serious leather restraints.

Good luck with your selection!
