I am over the moon to be reviewing these bi-polar electrodes

One of the things that I love about being an established reviewer is when companies approach me to review brand new products, and sometimes I am asked to provide feedback on pre-production models of future products.

I love being asked for my thoughts and feedback on future products, it really does fill me with a sense of being valued and it is nice to have a say in the future of the types of sex toys that I enjoy.

I was blown away this week when E-Stim Systems who are my all-time favourite manufacturer of E-stim or Electrosex products got in touch and told me that they have sent me a surprise to review for them.

You can imagine my surprise though when a box arrived, and I opened it to find this before my eyes.

I could hardly contain my excitement when I saw all four electrodes

E-Stim Systems have sent me the entire new Black Collection to evaluate, and I was buzzing. These stunning looking bipolar electrodes are based on one of my all-time favourite, the Bobble. But E-Stim Systems have given ti a bit of a BDSM overhaul, creating a dark version of it that I think looks stunning.

Their new luxurious satin finish and the shiny black insulator give these electrodes a meaner look that is very pleasing on the eye. I can imagine a set of these adorning every dungeon in the land as their looks will naturally lend themselves to BDSM electro-fetish scenes.

I am reviewing them, and it is proving to be a fantastic excuse for lots of hands-free e-stim orgasms. You will have to see my full review to find out my final verdict on them, but you have to agree, they do look the part, don't they?

This is an article I wrote for KinkCraft in the past

In general, most people that I have talked to think that sex toy reviewers provide a useful service as let’s face it the number of different options when choosing a sex toy is mind blowing. So it can be very useful to read quality reviews to see both the good and bad points about a product before parting with your hard earned cash.

The two key words in that last paragraph are “quality reviews”. There’s a huge difference between a quality review and something that has been quickly thrown together telling you about a sex toy, often just regurgitating the blurb from the packaging or manufacturers website. That doesn’t do anyone any justice at all and it certainly doesn’t help a potential buyer make an informed choice.

Recently there has been a huge boom in the number of people writing sex toy reviews and some of them are very good but conversely some of them are very bad. This growth in the sector is probably due to the big misconception out there that reviewing sex toys is messing around on the internet and that it must be great to get sex toys for nothing.

This misunderstanding is really quite understandable as from the outside it looks like the perfect job – “You just get free sex toys and just spend all day masturbating”. Whilst his sounds ideal there is a lot more to it than that and a lot of it isn’t glamorous at all and actually a lot of hard work.

Yes, companies do send me products to review for “free” but they are hardly freebies. When I agree to review a product a contract is formed and I am legally bound to provide an informative review within a set timeframe. I am being paid in materials rather than cash for my opinions and writing skills. But it’s still getting sex toys for free I hear you cry.

Yes, it is “free”, but let me show you what writing a quality sex toy review entails.

I start by looking at the materials used in the sex toy to see if anything is not body safe, yes I have had to learn a bit of chemistry. I know what Parabens and Phthalates are, these are two very dodgy chemicals often used in poorer quality products.

I have a small studio set up at home and when a product arrives the first thing I do with it is photograph the toy and its packaging, this process alone can take an hour or two as once the pictures are taken I then optimise them in various pieces of software to ensure they look good.

I then study the toy on the bench noting such things as how the material reacts to lube and dust. I evaluate the instructions provided and learn how to use the toy on the bench. I make notes, lots of notes at this stage, how noisy is it, how strong are the vibrations, are they localised or throughout the toy.

The first time I use the toy I just get myself off it, no notes or anything I just want to enjoy it for what it is. During the process of writing a review I will generally use it at least ten times and each time after the first I will have a notepad and pen next to the bed and I will jot down notes both in use and afterwards whilst my thoughts are fresh in my mind. This is the main reason why my reviews usually take about three to four weeks to write.

During these sessions I am not just masturbating, I am focussing on the sensations, characteristics and various settings, it does take the fun out of it but it has to be done that way. You can’t just use a toy once and write a review on it, there are so many variables that can affect how you perceive its performance from how tired you are to what time of the month it is or if you are stressed. Using it as many times as I do allow me to average all of these things out and to get a good feel for the toy.

Luckily I am usually reviewing more than one product at a time so I can alternate toys otherwise it would soon get very boring indeed. Coffee is very good for the next part of the process, it’s essential in fact.

Next it’s on to actually writing the review, mine tend to go on a bit as I try to get as much into them as I can. Once it’s written it’s then on to selecting and inserting images pertinent to the various sections of the review, these need to be formatted and uploaded onto the websites server. I write my reviews in html so I have full control of the layout of the page that way, that was self-taught.

It’s important in reviews to state both the good and bad points about a toy or product. I know that if I don’t like something, someone else may love it and so a review has to explain why something didn’t work for me so that readers can make an informed view of the product.

Once the review is written, and uploaded onto the server I then start the process of editing the review online, reading it over and over again correcting spelling mistakes and changing it so that it flows more naturally.

I then publish the review and notify the company that provided the product so that they can see it. They have no say in how I write my reviews and so it is only at this point that they actually get to read it as well.

Then it’s on to promoting both the review and the product on social media.

This whole process takes a huge amount of time and if I was to break it down into an hourly rate it would be way, way below the national minimum wage. Yes, I get the product for free and sometimes earn a small commission if someone uses one of my affiliate links to buy a product, but it certainly isn’t a huge amount but it does cover my expenses.

This is my reviewing process
This is my reviewing process and it shows rough timelines

I love writing reviews but unless you are one of the huge superstars of the reviewing scene it certainly isn’t a get rich quick scheme and it isn’t a full time job (for me at least). It is hard work but very rewarding when you get feedback from someone who has read a review and it has helped them make an informed choice.

So, do you think it’s a great way to get sex toys for free?

Have a go yourself

If you fancy trying blogging and sex toy reviewing for yourself then check out my advice articles for sex toy reviewers.

My old stylus and tablet have given up the ghost

I love drawing toons for my articles and reviewsI am trying to save for a new drawing set-up. I want to use a drawing monitor which will greatly help me draw my little doodles and cartoons which I love doing so much.

But, and there is always a but, I have bills to pay and mouths to feed and so saving up for one is a daydream at the moment.

Like everyone I have to prioritise my spending and my bills come first. I came up with an idea for a neat little competition to help me raise funds for the new equipment.

I will do a unique piece of art in my usual style for the winner and send a printed signed copy to them to enjoy and maybe hang on their wall.

If you enjoy my artwork and want a unique one doing for you then please consider helping me save for a drawing monitor like this one:

Drawing monitor

What's in it for me I hear you ask? Well, the first 100 donators will automoatically be entereted into a draw and the winner will receive a piece of art from me, it will be printed out in A4 size and signed by me before sending it to you as a way of my saying thanks for your support.

Go, on buy me a coffee to show your support and get an entry into the competition.

Getting good advice is incredibly important

I love reviewing sex toys, and as a female sex toy reviewer, I am very lucky to have my partner, Stunt Cock on hand to help me review penis orientated sex toys. So you can find some reviews here of sex toys that he has tackled but where can you go to read informative, funny and accurate sex toy reviews just for cock owners?

A quick google brings up some good sources, and the Big Gay Review is one of my favourites, they review from a gay perspective, and it is very interesting to read what they have to say on things.

However, today I want to introduce you to another excellent source of sex toy reviews, Mens Toys Hub has a wealth of information about all sorts of different sex toy types. I am going to highlight some of the articles from there that caught my attention and hope you will have your appetite whetted with them so that you will visit and check out the rest of the reviews there.

Guest Post

Joanne's guest postsI am delighted to be able to introduce the fantastic Bianca from helenstoybox.com and the @helenstoybox twitter account. Her article was inspired by a conversation on Twitter between myself and some other bloggers (@PosyChurchgate, @Mollysdailykiss & @RomanticIsa) about videoing our own orgasm contractions to be able to watch this fantastic vision of sexual release afterwards. As Bianca is blind, she thought a post about how she does something similar would be interesting to others, and I agree with her. I was fascinated and hadn't considered recording the sounds of my orgasm, but I am certainly going to do so. Without further ado, here is Bianca's article. Check out her site for her other work.

Forget diamonds being a girls best friend, give me a rabbit vibe any day of the week

No other sex toy type is as widely recognised or accepted as a norm than the humble rabbit vibe. What is it that makes this style of sex toy so popular and why are they so much fun to use?

Well, let me fill you in on a little history, this year is the 20th anniversary of the start of the US television show "Sex, and the City" and it was in 1990 in an episode called "The Turtle and the Hare" that the world was introduced to Vibratex's Rabbit Pearl.

It caused a huge commotion with conservatives horrified to see a sex toy on TV. The publicity and newly formed awareness of this new sex toy caused a massive surge in interest for sex toys and rabbit vibrators in general. And, so the worlds love affair with the rabbit vibe was born.

Rabbit vibrators, unlike standard vibes, can stimulate the clitoris as well as providing penetrative fun, and this is one of the reasons for their continued popularity.

They are so much fun because you can enjoy intense clitoral stimulation while also enjoying the feeling of being full or even stimulated internally.

The rabbit vibe has evolved continually since its humble beginnings with the Rabbit Pearl.

Modern rabbit vibrators feature intelligent programs with patterns of vibration to tease, and the myriad of rabbit vibes now available makes choosing one a bit of an uphill struggle. So here is some information to help you when selecting your perfect rabbit vibrator.

I'm So Looking Forward To Upping My Game

I will be attending Eroticon 2019 - decision made. I almost got there in 2018 until I had a bad fall just prior to it and I ended up in hospital for a week with bad head injuries.

Next year will be different, I will get to Eroticon to meet all of the amazing attendees. It will again take a lot of planning though as for me this will be a huge task, just getting there and getting around are issues due to my disabilities.

I will get to Eroticon 2019

I will probably need to use my wheelchair to get about and that is something that I hate. My disabilities mean that I can't spend a long time on my feet and walking can be a real issue for me and so using my wheelchair will mean I will be experiencing the all too common feeling of in some way being inferior to everyone else. I know that is a daft thing to say but just try sitting in a wheelchair and check out the looks you get when trying to talk to people.

I am determined to go though for a number of reasons and these all revolve around this blog. I'm in awe of so many amazing men and women who put their all online in their sex related blogs for the betterment of all and I hope to meet so many of them there. I also can't wait to be educated in all things sex blogging related and to network like I have never networked before in order to allow me to grow my blog and to hopefully help others enjoy their sex lives.

I also owe several people some consensual hugs

The biggest problem with attending for me as with most other bloggers will be the cost. When I factor in just the costs of the tickets, then accomodation, transportation and the cost of socialising it will mean that attending will carry a large price tag.

Darside Magazine edition 9 - Sybian and Motorbunny review

I am hoping to build one without frying my pussy lips!

Anyone who knows me or reads my blog will know that I adore E-stim or Electrosex. I can quickly achieve some fantastic hands-free orgasms using the electrodes and control boxes that I have, and it has me wanting more regarding both power and features.

My all-time favourite e-stim control box is my 2B from E-Stim Systems, it ticks all of the boxes and is a fantastic machine. It's some of its advanced features such as the amazing audio function that has me curious to try new electrode combinations, as well as the illusive Tri-phase set up. This is an electrode and cable setup where the stimulations feel almost 3D and can move around inside your body. The thought of that has me gagging to give it a go.

You can create an account for free on SmartStim.com and benefit from immediate access to some amazing advice from some very serious e-stim players.I recently joined an amazing forum called SmartStim.com and it's a wealth of advice and knowledge of the whole estim scene. It was whilst reading a multitude of posts there about triphase that I learned of the freely available plans to make your own Stereostim system. It was like a lightbulb ighting up in my mind acccompanied by a 'Ding' noise when I read about it. I just have to try one and the only way to do that is to build one for myself.

Because dungeon fun should be available to everyone

I love visiting dungeons for kinky BDSM fun and games but often when looking for new ones I simply can't use some due to their design and lack of facilities for diabled folks. That got me thinking, why aren't their disabled friendly dungeons in the marketplace?

How hard can it be to think about inclusivity when designing and creating adungeon?

Well I don't think it's actually that hard to go the extra mile to make a dungeon a disabled friendly environment. Most dungeons are vistied by couples of all sexes and so a disabled kinkster would probably be accompanied by a helper or partner who can play with them within their boundaries. But disabled kinksters need a play environment with enough room to move around if in a wheel chair. Ablution facilities designed to cater for all, maybe hoists and lifting equipmnet as well as easy access on level ground. A dungeon would also have to be at ground level and flat for obvious reasons.

I'm now seriously looking into opening such a facility and whilst currently in the planning phase, I am so fired up about the project that I just have to shout about it from the rooftops.

So what do I want to create? Well I want to create a facility that will cater for all and will be especially usefull for disabled kinksters who will probably have no other option to experience some dungeon BDSM fun and games.

I want to include the following:

  • Fully equiped dungeon with the usual equipment
  • Disabled toilets
  • Wetroom
  • Clinic Room
  • Nursery
  • Fucking machines and a Sybian
  • Kitchen with refreshments

I want to provide an exciting environment where vistors can live out their fantasies safely and with top of the range equipment. The biggest hurdle as you can imagine will be the costs involved with tackling a project like this with the usual sorts of avenues of business funding being unavailable. Banks tend to shy away from anything kink or sex related and so I am currently trying to figure out how to get a project like this off the ground but it won't be easy.

I do believe though that it is a facility that is needed and will pull out all the stops to get it off the ground. If anyone wants to donate anything towards the project then my PayPal e-mail address is admin{at}sexmachinereviews.co.uk

I will keep everyone abreast of the project as it evolves here.

All donations will be gratefully received

I had an amazing day in the company of Latex Leather & Lace

I may have missed the opening day of the new Latex Leather & Lace store but I was determined to get down to visit them and I am so glad that I did.

I arrived on a cold morning to a very warm welcome from Patrick, Anna and the rest of the team in their stunning looking studio shop in Barwell, Leicestershire.

I had followed their renovations and the build of their new studio in a discreet business unit and what I saw when I walked in was a friendly shop designed around the needs of the customer.

A quick glance around the fully stocked shelves told me that they knew what they were doing. All of my favourite brands were stocked and these are the brands that I like to champion for their use of body safe materials and quality. Great companies like E-Stim Systems, Rocks Off, Fun Factory and some amazing clothing and footwear brands. I couldn't take my eyes off the kinky shoes and outfits as they were just amazing. With over 4,500 product lines to choose from you can spend hours on their website drooling over what is on offer.

I don't often get asked to do pics for people so I enjoyed doing this one

I was asked on Twitter if I did custom art commissions and I declined, saying that I'm not good enough to be able to charge for my work. Someone wanted a colourful picture that they could have blown up as a feature piece of art for a wall in their house and the art that they were looking for was a whopping £300.

I then decided to see if I could help so upon obtaining some pics of their dog (he was to be the focus of the artwork) I set to work.

Numerous hours later and after four failed attempts I came up with this piece for them. I decided to help out as whilst it would take up some of my time it was also an opportunity for me to learn more about digital art and I am very glad that I did so.

So without further ado, I present to you my Boxer dog art. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

What the hell is going on with social media

For anyone who is unaware, recently most social media channels have been slowly but surely censoring people who post about sexuality on their platforms. I'm not talking about people posting hardcore porn, I am talking about educators, advocates, bloggers and even little old me.

Platform rules have been changing to prevent people talking about sex subjects and a lot of good people and information is being censored and this is a worrying trend.

Today Twitter has actually started to censor the word 'bisexual' in all image and video searches. This is censorship of an entire group of people, censorship of a sexual orientation.

You can still search for KKK and Nazi posts though. I cannot even believe that I have to say that it's Nazi's and the KKK that need banning from Twitter. I'm starting to lose faith in humanity and our ability to fight for what is right and just. Facebook won't even let you show a breast FFS!

We need your help. We won't go quetly into the unknown

It's a common misconception that being a sex blogger or sex toy reviewer is the life of Reilly. Lounging around with nothing to do but masturbate before chirping to the whole world about the experience.

The reality couldn't be further from the truth, it's actually a lot of hard work. Hard work that often goes without praise from anyone. You live with the constant insecurity of knowing that you are considered to be an outcast of society. A sort of pariah that the establishment wants to crack down upon or even silence.

If that sounds a little melodramatic then good it should after this last week. We have seen huge companies toughen their stance against adult material. Almost punishing those who need help and support the most. Patreon has changed their terms of service which has lead to even greater insecurity for many of their users.

Share Our Shit Saturday #SoSSJust try approaching a bank for financing for an adult business. You will get stonewalled and shown the door. You are considered to be too high a risk for them to invest in. Even when the adult industry is generating $250Bn a year. It doesn't make sense when you look at figures like that. Banks and investors should be actively looking to promote start-ups and adult businesses to get a cut of that themselves. But they don't. There is a systematic aversion to anything sex-related.

There are even more worrying trends on social media. Even on one of the last bastions of free speech Twitter, moves are afoot to silence us. Well renowned bloggers have been shadow banned. This insidious process leaves you unaware that you have been gagged, No longer appearing in searches. Your messages to other users go unseen. Some of my all-time favourite bloggers have been shadow banned for seemingly no reason whatsoever. These are experts in their field and they no longer have a voice. Censored in this cowardly manner.

If you want to see if an account or even your own account has been shadow banned on Twitter you can use this website to run a quick search for your posts.

http://shadownban-checker.xho.bedita.net/

Adult performers, bloggers and reviewers all need your help and there is something constructive that you can all easily do.

Simply - Share Our Shit. That's it in a nutshell (or nutsack if you prefer), this gloriously simple approach was first mentioned by Girl On The Net and Eros Blog. If you like a post then please share it on your social media channels. If you like a tweet then please retweet it. It is the only way that some people can now get exposure to new readers. The bonus is that your followers can get to know the cool blogs that you know and read.

We shouldn't be shy about sex and we definitely shouldn't be gagging anyone talking about it in a positive way. To that end, I'm joining the Share Our Shit bandwagon and I will be posting weekly to help other bloggers get some much-needed exposure. Please take the time to check them out.

Girl on the Net – Sex Blogger SOS

The first post that I want to share with you is the post that started all of this off. A great heartfelt post by Girl On The Net. She is amazing and I can highly recommend following her and reading her posts, some of them crack me up. She is both articulate and very funny.


Cara Sutra - Mee Too

Cara posted a #MtToo post highlighting her experiences of abuse and it brought a tear to my eye. The whole #MeToo movement is helping to lift the veil or secrecy and normality that has surrounded abuse of women. Please read her post, she is one of my favourite bloggers and her story struck a chord in me. The post may be triggering for some to think twice about it if you think it may upset you too much.


The Oooh Review – Adult Sex Shops and Their Mistrust for Reviewers

This is an incredible article that highlights just how hard it is to get on as a sex toy reviewer. So many companies are jaded towards reviewers due to being let down in the past. This post talks about both sides of the problem. Well worth reading if you want an insight into the life and problems of a sex toy reviewer.


Backwoods Bedroom - Uncharted Territory

This heartfelt post covers the anxiety that we can feel as parents when it comes to educating our kids about sex. It is a great post and one that I think needs sharing as it is a very important theme.

Does the sight of a woman applying lipstick turn you on?

If it does then you are in good company as I have a thing about lipstick as well. I find it a huge turn on, both wearing it and also the process of applying it especially in front of others.

You may think that you are alone in this fetish but I am happy to tell you that you are not. There is a thriving lipstick fetish community online on websites such as lipstickfetish.org #NSFW

Personally, I love to slowly apply or touch up my lipstick in public. Knowing that guys are looking whilst trying not to appear to be doing so is a big turn on for me. Lots of other women also share this little kink. Why do you think we do it in public so often?

This has been one of my kinks since I was old enough to use lipstick and to see the effect it had on men. My partner loves seeing me with creamy lipstick on and it can lead to lots of fun and games.

I like lipsticks and also wearing lipgloss, I love the shiny effect that comes with lipgloss and it emphasises the shape and curves of my lips.

I actually prefer to wear greasy lipsticks as opposed to the ones designed to stay put all day. I want my lipstick to smear when I kiss.

I also love leaving rings around a hard cock when I go down on it. There is something incredibly kinky about "leaving lipstick on a dipstick". It shows you just how far you have taken it and it's then lots of fun to energetically smear it down the shaft during the course of the BJ.

What isn't there to like about lipstick. When I was courting I would always seal my letters with a kiss literally. So that my partner knew that it was a steamy kinky letter designed to induce a nice boner and they did.

I love making lipstick prints on tissues, envelopes and even my own breasts - kinky bugger. Can you tell I like lippy yet?

Now if you love lipstick or watching vagina or penis owners applying it and then smudging it off then you have a whole internet full of porn to jack or jill off to. The prevalence of lipstick themed porn is amazing, just go to one of the porn tube sites and enter "lipstick" into the search box to see what I mean. When I just googled "lipstick porn" I got 10,500,000 sites and that's a lot of porn.

So why is lipstick such a turn on? Well, it draws attention to the lips and this area of the face in most societies is a focal point for sexual arousal as are the breasts and buttocks.

Shiny lips are a sign of healthy lips and red especially is a colour associated with arousal as blood is pumping. Shiny and red, well I guess you can see where I am going.

But don't just assume that it's just red lipstick that lipstick fetishists love, oh no, we enjoy all of the colours under the rainbow and each looks amazing on a set of lips.

I have to admit to having a girl crush on Padmé Amidala in Star Wars simply due to her amazing use of lipstick

I use Twitter a lot and you can view lots of lipstick pictures there under the hashtag #LipstickFetish but be warned some will be very much #NSFW.

Well, I hope that you have enjoyed these pictures, they are indeed my own lips. If you have a lipstick fetish then remember that you are not alone, leave me a quick message in the comments form below.

I am just off to go and top up my lippy. Have fun xxx.

It takes me ages to draw my little cartoons so I want your opinion on them

I would never say that I am good at my little doodles but I do get better over time and I guess that is only natural. I tend to sketch and doodle on 'down days' as it keeps my mind off other things. Sometimes I get an idea for a particular pic for a review and feel that I just have to do it.

But, am I wasting my time. Do readers actually enjoy seeing them in reviews and articles. Some might say that the detract from the message of an article whilst others may consider them just some light hearted fun. I would love to get into the minds of my readers and so please take a minute to vote in the poll at the bottom of this post. Thank you in advance.

History of my art

I was always accused of not paying attention in school and that's probably a good point. I couldn't stop doodling in my books, drawing love hearts and cocks LOL. I still doodle but these days I tend to use a tablet to do it digitally and that poses its own problems for me. It takes me hours and hours to do each sketch. Not really because of my equipment (lord knows I could do with better kit though) but because I find it hard to manage the disconnect between my hand moving on a tablet and the cursor on the screen. It sort of feels like having to write with a pen on paper that it's in a box and you can't see your hand. Imagine what your handwriting would look like. Well that is how I draw, the tip of my stylus is on a pad on my desk and the cursor is on the screen. It feels weird but I love the power of digital art. You can easily make corrections or make huge sweeping changes. But, for me anyway it's slow. That's why I don't have many on the site, partly because of the fact they take so long to do but mainly because I am my own worst critic - which is natural I suppose.

Examples

I am going to show some examples of my work here with links to the relevant reviews and then hit you with a poll at the bottom of the page - Enjoy.

Nova The Breeder - Dildo Review

I have reviewed lots of Bad Dragon dildos but this one struck a chord with me as it's just so pretty, I had to do a special sketch for the review of Nova the dragon.

Beginners Guide To E-stim - Advice Article

I love e-stim play and wanted to write an article about what it is all about and I thought I needed a cartoon image to lighten it up a bit as E-stim can appear quite scary to outsiders who haven't tried it. It isn't dangerous at all and as this cartoon depicts it can be a lot of fun..

Shockspot 12" Fucking Machine - Fucking Machine Review

I absolutely adore my Shockspot fucking machine, it's my go to machine when I absolutely need to get a good hammering. This review has two pics that are a lot of fun but not NSFW LOL. Yes, I know I forgot to draw my nipples but hey no-one's perfect.

Zombie Cock - Dildo Review

I pulled out all of the stops on this special Halloween review and actually did three sketches for it to tie in with a fun little storyline that ran through the review. I had a blast doing these and it's a fun review to read. I hope you get as much fun out of them as I did drawing them, so far feedback has been good about them.
