Crickets

I apologize for the quiet here. I just started a part time job, and with getting into the last few weeks of my online classes, all the big projects are coming due. Plus with having to go to a class at a campus two times a week. I have a review to post, however it's been difficult due to the fact that I like to include pictures and my camera is MIA, and my iphone takes some shitty pictures. I will post this soon, promise!

Taking pictures is difficult when I am home due to the fact that Amber's niece is living here again, and she likes to hang out with me, and if she's watching tv over in the main house, then she likes to burst into our apartment suddenly. This definitely makes it difficult to take pictures. Now I can hear you all saying "Have her knock." Which would make it easier to cover up anything, but that sets our dogs to barking, getting the boxers super excited, and just makes calming them down much more difficult. Plus they would stay in a state of excitability because it's nearly once an hour the niece (my Mini-Me) bursts in here.

In the mean time while waiting for this latest review, here's a TMI Tuesday (I know its Wednesday :P) about birthdays.

1. What star sign are you? Taurus
2. Do you believe in horoscopes? Sort of, not the daily ones but more about the compatibility, and mostly moon signs
3. When is your birthday? May 18th
4. What’s the worst birthday gift a partner has given you? Until Amber (who has always given great gifts if money hasn't been an issue/a year we don't exchange gifts) I don't think I've had a partner for my birthdays.
5. Are you organised when it comes to other people’s birthdays? Sorta. I generally remember people's birthdays once they've told me. I use to remember everyone's birthdays with only being told once, but I've broken that part of my memory now and it's not nearly as good as it use to. I think I filled my memory with too much porn.
6. How do you normally celebrate your birthday? Usually a dinner and sex.
7. If you could be one age again what would it be? Why? I'm not sure I'd change my age. I'm 26 now, and I'm fine with that. 
8. What would be your ideal birthday treat? Professional massage followed by sex...So I guess hiring a masseuse (or two, one for her) to come in our home, give me a massage and have sex immediately after...Actually, Amber gives me a dirty massage but only after a full body massage.
Bonus:  Tell us your best birthday memory? When I think of my birthday it's mostly filled with camping memories, but they all blend together. I think my 18th birthday stands out the most though because I received my riding jersey, boots and I still use them today.
Bonus, Bonus:  May we see you in your birthday suit? (post a photo) Nah, sorry. Maybe eventually.

TMI Tuesday - Kink


1. What’s the kinkiest thing about you, either mentally or physically? I'm not really sure I'm all that kinky, other then I have a high sex drive and am willing to do just about anything once.
2. Do you have any fetishes? If so, what are they? I like to watch gay porn, especially first time stuff. Also, I've been known to look at furry porn, but not fur suits. Sex in public, though we haven't...yet.
3. Have you ever been spanked? Did you enjoy it? Tell us more… Never in the heat of the moment, and a few times when I was a kid. I don't think it's my cup of tea because it doesn't turn me on mentally at all. I sort of don't understand it. I mean, I understand that it feels good to people, some how..
4. Have you been tied up, or tied someone else up? Did you use rope or  restraints? Several times. Amber and I have an under the bed restrain system, and we don't use it all the time though. Just special occasions.
5. Would you classify yourself as more dominant, submissive, a switch or entirely vanilla? I've actually never heard of a switch, but I think that's what I am. I love being submissive and letting Amber take charge and not knowing what is going to happen next. But I also love to strap it on and give it to her in as many ways as I can.
6. What’s the kinkiest thing you’ve ever done? I'm not sure, probably masturbated somewhere publicly, like a library. Watched porn in public. Not sure if that's really kinky or not.
7. Have you been to a BDSM club? What was it like? If not, would you ever go to one? We've never been to one, and I'm not sure if we would. Amber's a bit more private about things, for instance, I couldn't get her to a strip club when we lived in Portland. Also, BDSM is a little extreme for me.
8. What’s your favourite fetish item or implement? Probably my harness. Eventually I'm going to get one from Outlaw Leather, the Annie-O. I've been lusting over that for a long time.
9. Favourite kinky clothing material? Naked!
10. Thigh boots – love ‘em or hate ‘em? Never tried them, but I can appreciate them on someone else, but I don't think I'd like wearing them. Seems like they would be really hot and restrictive.
11. If you’re kinky, who knows about it? Do you tell people or is it a closely guarded secret? I'm pretty open sexually with anyone.
12. What are your personal limits? I'm not sure I have any.
13. What’s your safeword and why did you choose that one? Don't have one, but Amber and I don't do anything that requires one..yet.
14. Which fetishes do you just really not get? Several; fisting, spanking, old people porn (not sure that counts, lol) incest, diapers, pee/water works just to name a few.
Bonus:  Complete this sentence:  To me, Fetish, Kink and BDSM means…Anything to do with sex beyond a male with a female missionary sex.

Extended Weekend

I love Memorial Weekend.

Growing up it was the weekend that my birthday was celebrated, and my family would usually go up to some property my parents own and built a cabin on and it'd be full of camping festivities. Drinking, motorcycle riding, drinking, swimming (depending on how warm a year it was), hiking, camp fires, and more drinking. It always signified the end of the winter and beginning of summer as that was the first weekend we'd go camping. From then on, there usually wasn't a weekend we were home until the cold grips of winter comes back around in October.

Having my Dad be an Army veteran on top of every male until recent generation (I went into the military, and my brother did not) of my family having served, it's a bitter sweet weekend.

Since sprouting my wings and leaving my family for the military, and again after I left my home town/state again after I got out of the military, the weekend just isn't the same. Now I don't drink much at all. Maybe 2 alcoholic beverages a month? Also, I in general just don't have the time off or the funds to go camping, but I always want to do. I feel the great outdoors calling my name starting from about Easter on. It's a quiet call that grows louder and louder until I can answer it.

This weekend will not be spent camping much to my dismay. Again funding is mostly the issue. Also, Amber and I live in an apartment on her parent's farm and her niece and nephew are over for the weekend. Amber has lived with me in both Spokane, and in Portland for the past two years and I don't want to take her away from her family when we have only been back down here for about six months. Though I'm extremely close to just going out and setting up a tent in one of the fields or forest portion of their land.

Last weekend, my birthday weekend, did get some celebration, but for reasons only my body knows I did not get sex. Amber has a low sex drive, whereas I have a high sex drive. Last weekend my period visited again, even though it was around not even a week and a half before, and two weeks before that. I have an appointment at the beginning of next month to get on birth control to gain some control over my period that has been completely random since I started.

Though that alone isn't enough of a reason to not have sex, I ended up with a really bad case of swimmer's ear as well as an inner ear infection that was extremely painful. I went to the doctor and am feeling better now. So hopefully this weekend we can have sex.

The reason there is no sex through the week is because Amber is going through a year long school of very compacted LPN program that even the teachers who are RN's said the RN program isn't as hard as this program. She must maintain an 80% or above to continue in the program and she has anywhere from 1-3 tests a day. She comes home from school, gets something to eat, and then hits the books. I usually end up helping her study after dinner on to quiz her. What all this means is that its very hard to get her mind off school long enough to want to have sex.

I hope everyone else has an amazing weekend though! Have lots of sex for those of us can't!

Bone or Balls?

I appologise that this too much longer to be published over here, it took much longer then I expected to get published over on EdenFantasy's, but at long last, my first review!

This is a review of Edenfantasy's Love Bone that I was sent free of charge in return for a free unbiased review. I was no paid in any way for this review, and the opinions therein are entirely my own and my spouse.

Seriously? Are they the end of a bone, balls, maybe a heart?


Use
At first we tried this as a dildo, and it wasn't quite long enough to hit my g-spot, but rather rubbed against the vaginal wall right before the g-spot. It did work for thrusting but because of it being too short for my g-spot it worked in a round about way to stimulate my g-spot as a good warm up toy. It was, however, hard to grip for both use on myself/by myself, and for my partner to use on me. Also, it kept slipping sideways, making the tip turn, which didn't hurt, but didn't help anything. It was very easy to insert since it is made of glass.

For anal usage, I can't attest to this as an expert, but as an anal intermediate. It did slide in very easily, and wasn't too big for someone who maybe once every few months does anything anally. I would, however, urge anyone who is using this anally to be careful since the base (the bone or the balls? Looks more like balls to me) is not flared for anal like a plug would be. I also cannot attest to use on prostate being female, but it did not reach my g-spot this way either.

This did come with a red velvet bag, but it is not padded besides the velvet. Also, the drawstring doesn't stay closed without tying it closed. But does very well if it were put into the bag and into a toy box for safety.

Material / Texure
This is made of safety glass, and thus is compatible with any type of lubrication, and is sort of heavy compared to other materials. The Love Bone is very smooth, and with minimal lubrication, or natural lubrication insertion is very easy both vaginally and anally (anally so long as you're relaxed that is). This being made of glass it is of food-grade material, hypo-allergenic, non-porous, latex free, phthalates free and clean up is very easy. Just wash with soap and water, boil (be careful removing from boiling water, hot! also don't just drop it into boiling water as that will make the glass crack, but put it in the lukewarm water at the beginning when the water starts to warm up to boil), top rack of dishwasher, and is even bleachable.

Design / Shape / Size

Measurements:
Length: 5 1/2 inches from tip to base
Diameter of tip: 3/4 of an inch approximately, or about the size of a Kotex super tampon.
Base to beginning of curve toward tip: 3 1/4 inches (taking out the base, the shaft is only 2 inches)
Shaft's widest part: 1 1/16 inches until it flares to make the base: 1 3/8 inches.

The total design is a simple, smooth tapered tip with a slight curve from the shaft leading down to two balls (or bone end).

I love the blue color and the fact that it's made of glass, but that's all I love about this dildo. The curve would be good for someone if their g-spot was closer to the opening of their vagina, but that's not my case.

The balls/ bone (base) is rather hard to grip for both use on myself, and for my partner to use on me. Also, because of this base this dildo kept slipping side-ways and making the tip not hit remotely close to my g-spot, making this really ineffective.

The tapered tip did make insertion both vaginally and anally very easy (use lube if you need to!) and being smooth really helped insertions. The diameter/ circumference was not too big for being an anal intermediate/ almost beginner that I am, but remember to take it slow.

In use
This is a good precursor to either sex or another bigger toy and did well to get me started, but I quickly wanted something bigger/longer to hit my g-spot and for better thrusting. It did well to relax me and make more turned on. Anally, it worked the same way as a good way to start off, but I doubt I'd want to do double penetration with this since it does not have a base to keep it from slipping up inside, and because of how wide the base is might get in the way of another toy.

If one were inclined to use this in the shower, which would be safe provided one would be careful as to not drop this since gripping was a bit difficult.

Care and Maintenance
This is made of glass and is very safe (provided you don't drop it and get a crack/nick out of it), is waterproof, and can be used with any lubrication.

The red velvet bag it came in works fine for storage, and if traveling or moving it about the box, I'd want something more padded to go around it, perhaps a wool sock?

Personal comments
 Honestly, this might not get any more use besides the first try. I do have ideas of using it as a massage tool much like the hand stone massage tools used to really work on deep/tough knots.

My g-spot is further in my body then what the Love Bone can reach, and while my body usually responds to this angle of curve, due to it's short length the Love Bone could not help.

This is my third glass toy. The Ocean Breeze is by far my favorite, and if the Love Bone had a base like the Ocean Breeze, it would help keep the toy from sliding sideways and rendering the tip ineffective. I also never fail to have a g-spot orgasm from the Ocean Breeze or my partner's fingers, but because of the Love Bone being too short, and slipping sideways this will only be a toy to get me warmed up before using something else.

 Summary
The Love Bone was disappointing in that it did not reach my g-spot and was hard to keep from slipping sideways internally. It was easy to insert both vaginally and anally because of its tapered tip, but just wasn't long enough vaginally to be more then a warm up toy. The design of the base of the Love Bone made gripping difficult for both thrusting and for keeping the tip from sliding ineffectively to the side.

May 18th

Tomorrow is a historical day. May 18th, 1980 was the year that Mount St. Helens erupted, spilling forth lava and volcanic ash.

Just 6 short years later, I was born on the very same day. I've been told that my temper is much like a volcano, slow to build up, but erupts from time to time. I also know that I'm much like my mountain in the gushing factor when I have a g-spot orgasm. Minus the lava...that'd be painful.

Are there plans for my birthday? Well, to be honest, I feel that if your birthday lands on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday you get a birthday weekend. So, plans for my birthday weekend? A few.

My birthdays in the past have always sucked. Not my celebration, but my birthday itself. See, in the city I'm from (Spokane, Washington) the weekend before is a parade-festival, the weekend after is Memorial. What that means is that there was never any money to spare on my birthday and my celebration would always get wrapped up in either one of these and thus shadowed over. Also meant as a kid that if I wanted to have a party, my friends were always busy. One year my birthday went forgotten until Memorial Weekend when my family goes camping.

I know that I'll receive well wishes, and one big thing that is almost a stipulation/demand for a good birthday is Birthday Sex. I'm not sure if I'll get that this year because Amber is in a very rigorous LPN program and she'll be at school, and will come home exhausted and needing to study. Also, her young nephew is coming over on the weekend and her parents (we live in apartment on her parents farm) make the weekend all about the grandchildren when they come over. Which is completely understandable but just means that it wont be Erin's Weekend when it should be.

Amber's father does not know about her and I and thinks we're just good friends, her mom knows and the reason her father doesn't know is at her mother's wishes. Her father isn't in the best of health and is very old fashioned and didn't take Amber's oldest nephew (different nephew then the one coming over this weekend) coming out. It took about 3 years for him to accept him. Amber's mother is a afraid that it might send her father over and will ruin/rip their family apart. I'm personally afraid I'll be shot...ok not really actually shot, just in the protective fatherly threaten way.

What this little background information means is that the day that Amber and I are going to celebrate my birthday (Saturday) might get shadowed again. It's been a really long time since Amber and I did anything for us, alone. Every time we've gone out to dinner, it's been with her parents since we moved down here last November, or nearly every time.

I just want a day where its her and I and we're able to act ourselves. Hell, even in the nearest biggest town we can't even hold hands in public because too many people know her parents and it might get back to them. It's frustrating but I understand, and I also agreed to this when we moved down here. Its it too much to ask for 1 day though?

Remote Fantasy

I have a review of a new dildo awaiting review with my mentor on Eden Fantasys and once that's a approved and published I'll add it on here, promise! I will get to the reviewing of toys.  In the mean time,  I'll explain about a fantasy I have and know many others have.

I want some type of vibrator that is remotely controlled without wires that I can hand to Amber when we're out and about (such as a birthday dinner I have coming up on Friday) or to a bar, or even something as quiet as a family (lol quiet, but in comparison to a bar with loud music...) gathering. Then have her be able to turn it on, off, up or down in vibrations, random settings and I have no control over it and have to act as if nothing is wrong. Much like that movie The Ugly truth with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, and she's wearing either vibrating panties or something like it, and some how some kid ends up with the remote and gets her off at a business dinner. Though I don't want the remote out of Amber's hand...
But it would be hot and challenging to have that control given over, and to possibly be brought the bring of orgasm or to full orgasm at her control out in public. I also think that she would be highly turned on by watching me struggle to maintain myself, and in my fantasy she'd want to rush home (or even in the car, I wouldn't mind that but she's of the mind that we have a perfectly good bed, so why use the car...maybe one day) and get me into bed as fast as possible. 

I have bought an egg that I'll be reviewing in due time, that was bought for this purpose, but it wasn't enough. Eventually, I'll try some panties or even something else and I'll let you all know how that goes as well.

The Here & Now

1. Are you wearing any jewelry? What?
I am wearing my engagement ring, a watch (does that count if its a $6 BigLots watch?), and my celtic compass with garnet necklace. I'm always wearing these. I've been wearing a watch since I was in the 3rd grade, rings since high school when I took a year of jewelry making, and this necklace about 6 months before I went to boot camp and ever since.

2. What are you listening to now?
Battlestar Galactica Season 1 and 2 soundtracks. I love the epic instrumental music, and wish I had the rest of the 6 seasons soundtracks

3. What is the last piece of etertainment media (i.e. cd, download, book, DVD) that you purchased? Do you recommend it?
Frugalsex.net posted about a free Kindle erotic book by Bella Andre Love Me and I couldn't help myself. I have yet to read it, and in general I prefer my erotic stories shorter or have yet to read a full book. I did however actually purchase two books by Dawn Cook #3 and #4 of her Hidden truth series, and would recommend these stories to anyone who likes fantasy.

4. What kind of undergarments are you wearing right now? Care to post a photo?
I dont wear underwear unless I'm on my period and heavy enough to need a pad. Or I'm wearing boxer-briefs. Currently, I'm not wearing anything, and no I dont care to take a photo...I'm not that comfortable about my body and postings just yet. Give me time, and I might be.

5. What is your current mood?
Creative. I have a great idea for a better banner then a boring stock one but I cant find our better camera and the ones I currently have are 4.0 MP or worse (iphone 3g) and don't want to take this picture with that. 

6. What is the best looking thing about you today?
I dunno, I rarely look in the mirror and try to avoid it. Probably my hair, it usually behaves.

7. Fill in the blank. Tonight I'm looking forward to _________.
I am looking forward to Amber coming home, and beyond that using her phone (Infuse, 8MP camera) to do my banner idea, and mostly just spending time with her. Even if it'll be spent helping her study.

Bonus: Tell me something good...anything you want to share. Just do it.
I have a toy on the way for free from EdenFantasys for review from my mentor and am excited to get this going. I feel that once I get one review done and looked over, it'll be like getting the ball rolling.
Also, I'm looking forward to going somewhere like the library or a coffee shop (though there arn't any in the town I live in..have to be a bakery) and reading an erotic book. That'll probably get me hotter then the book itself.
