Guest Review: Canadian boys Love the Fleshjack and Edging too!

I love my Fleshjack and encouraged Eastern Canada’s Leatherboy iain to get one and then write a review for it. Below is his review. Check him out on twitter and on his blog.

Leatherboy iain with his Fleshjack

I love sex and courtesy of Sir’s training and the influence of a number of friends who are into edging, a Fleshjack is a natural to add to any sex toy chest. I am all about sexual stimulation, edging and blowing my load. The thought of being tied up and edged with a Fleshjack and being told to hold off from shooting totally turns my crank!

I decided to purchase two Jacks in April when Fleshjack was offering the buy one Jack and get an Endurance Jack free and also on recommendation. Within three days, the jacks had shipped and arrived at my door in Canada. Amazing for cross-border shopping, all for about the same price as shopping for one Fleshjack at your local porn shop.

They arrived quickly through customs and packaged nicely.

I couldn’t wait unpack the jacks and get it on my cock. You don’t want to forget to take out the plastic tube from your jack when it first arrives – you might hurt your member. I started with the Endurance jack. Being uncut and having a very sensitive head, I was a bit nervous about how it would feel but after lubing up the hole, the inside of the Endurance Jack, and my cock, it was a fucking amazing ride. I could hold off, get harder, jack and edge and repeat until I blew a huge load deep into the Fleshjack. Be sure to use water-based lubes as others could deteriorate your toy.

Remember, if you’re going to blow your load in the jack, it becomes a one person toy. Alternatively, you can use condoms but the Fleshjack Care and Usage Guide does specifically say the Fleshjack is designed to be a single person use only toy.

The Endurance Jack has “Stamina masturbation sleeve” is tight, so you feel it on your shaft, and features large bumps to stimulate your head and shaft. If you can learn to hold off blowing your load, then imagine how it’ll feel when you hold off cuming while fucking or jacking off.

The Ice Jack and Endurance Jack sleeves

The Fleshjack Ice further enhances your experience by having different sensations for different kinds of stimulation, whether it’s for your head or shaft. You get the added visual stimulation with the Fleshjack Ice being clear, so you can see your cock get harder, pulse and shoot a load deep for you to see. Fucking hot!

Between both the sensations are very different – and if you’re into wanting different sensations and experiences, then both the Endurance and Ice Jacks are great examples of the wide range of sensations you can get from Fleshjack.

Make sure to remove this tube.

To keep mine clean, I follow the instructions as provided by Fleshjack – Run warm water through the sleeve and for a deep clean, you can use isopropyl alcohol. I have also turned mine inside out just to make sure it is clean. After that, towel dry or air dry and you’re done. You don’t want to use detergents or soaps as it will deteriorate the surface.

My only criticism of the product is needing to clean and maintain, but hey, a good jack off session that’s long and messy always involves a good clean up.

If you’re into edging from either side, definitely add a Fleshjack to your toy chest.

iPhone App Review: Hanky Code

There aren’t many iPhone apps out there for kinksters. Actually this is the first one targeted at us that I’ve ever heard of. There are a couple gay apps like Grindr.

Before you delve to far into this, if you don’t know what the Hanky Code is, check out an earlier post I did about it.

The Hanky Code app is a $1.99 app that allows you to select from an array of hankies to that will be displayed on your iPhone. The blue hanky, to the right, is an example of what is displayed on your iPhone screen.

Select your Hanky and position.

Essentially the color is the only thing that will change. If you happen to be somewhere, see a hanky and aren’t sure what it means; you could also use the app to look up the meaning.

Not only are those features included, but you can also read about the history of the Hanky Code.

A for how someone would actually use this to flag, it’s best to read directly from the creator in an interview with Butt Magazine:

How does it work? Is it like Grindr?
Not really. Suppose you were at a bar and you saw someone with a real hanky in their back pocket, you could just pull up the app real quick, click on the color and it would give you the meaning. The app also will light up your screen with a picture of whatever hanky you are so the iPhone actually becomes the hanky. If you’re at a coffee shop or a restaurant somewhere and you’re working on your computer you can have your iPhone to the left or to the right of your computer or your coffee and guys walk by and the notice it and they’re like ‘hmm.’

So… yeah. Please let me know if you see someone doing this and if possible take a picture and send it to me. Firstly, the app costs $1.99 so unless you truly find the novelty worth it, I’d recommend just going out and buying an actual hanky. If you want to look up the hanky code, just visit this site on your iPhone, for my iPhone optimized site, click the little down arrow to the right side and you can view my large list of Hanky Codes.

The history of the Hanky Code in the app

The other major problem I have with the app is the extreme lack of hanky colors. While the red hanky (fisting) does flash up when you start the app, it disappears and you can’t select it from the list. Another very popular color, yellow (watersports/pissing), is missing from the list. Instead you have one’s for people with a “navel fetish”. With the minimal amount of time it would take to create a more extensive list of hankies, I’m disappointed in the app. And amazed that they charge $1.99 for it.

I’d recommend avoiding this app for now. Maybe in the future it’ll actually become useful, but for now it’s a poor novelty app. I’ll let you know if it does become better being that I did waste the $1.99 so you guys wouldn’t need to.

Book Review: The Loving Dominant by John and Libby Warren

It’s been a while since I’ve picked up The Loving Dominant by John and Libby Warren, and to be honest, I never finished it. It’s time to start another book though. This book is a very good introductory book for both Doms and subs. It is written from a straight perspective, but does include some gay material too (not much though). Also, the main author is a Dominant male with some parts written by his submissive wife. So it is generally more geared towards those roles.

They cover everything from the psychology of BDSM to how to do a scene to different toys and gear. There’s even a section in the book that talks about meeting other Doms and subs and the dance that occurs when trying to find your match.

It’s a great book to get different ideas from if you have some experience. I really enjoyed the Mindfuck section. If you’re brand new to it all and taking things slow, it’s a good book to see what you can expect.

I’d recommend borrowing this book if you could. If not, it’s worth buying.

Grindr Review: The family-friendly iPhone gay hook-up app

Grindr is an app for the iPhone that’s been out for a while now. Essentially it lets you find other people using the app based on proximity to you if they were on recently. Think of it like Manhunt with GPS on your phone. You can then send messages, pictures and your location to that person.

I think I’ve only actually met 1 person on there that I wasn’t already friends with, but the app does work relatively well and they have been doing a lot of work to improve the servers. The interface is pretty intuitive and you can always block an annoying guy.

The pic I was banned for

Although there is an 18+ warning when you download the app, it is a family friendly app. So if you’re a parent, feel safe letting your child download and use the app. I recently got banned from Grindr for the photo to the left. Now I don’t think the pic is that bad, and you’ve pretty much seen pics like this on magazine covers, but apparently because there is a tiny bit of cock and pubic hair… it’s considered an “obscene” photo.

Here’s a little email conversation I had with them while getting un-banned:

Me

I got banned and don’t understand why.

Grindr

Your profile was banned since it did not comply with our Terms of Service, which prohibits nudity or sexual/obscene photos and/or text. You cannot post photos of a penis on your public profile.

I removed the ban on your profile. Please ensure that in the future your profile contains only family friendly text and photos.

[Removed some marketing crap]

Me

Can you define what “nudity or sexual/obscene photos” are… because I’ve had my picture removed before for wearing a swimsuit that covers everything?

Also, isn’t it an 18+ app? Why do you have to limit the nudity?

Grindr

Thanks for your reply. I included in the previous email that your profile was banned due to a photo of a penis. If you have had photos removed while wearing a swimsuit, it could be anything from pubic hair showing or even your text. Although Grindr is an 18+ app, we want to keep the public profiles as clean as possible because not everyone wants to see nudity while searching for friends. Remember, you can send whatever pictures and text you like during private chat.

Now, beyond the ability to post R-rated pics on your main profile, there are definitely some improvements they could make. Right now you can only have 1 public photo, more would be nice. It would also be nice if it had push notification, and there was a way to stay logged in without having to run the app. It does drain your battery quickly because it uses GPS. It would be nice if you could search for sexual interests. And a web component so I don’t have to sit at my phone to use it would be even better.

Overall though, it is a pretty good app and I’d recommend at least trying it out. If you do work at a homophobic place, and you care, I wouldn’t log on while you’re at work. It can be nice at a bar, or even just wandering around town.

I don’t post things too often, but check out the Cupping Set below. I use them for Nipple Pumping and they work amazing! I would highly recommend them, and for $20 off, that’s a great price. They hold very well, no worry about them tearing and they are comfortable. Plus you can use the pump for a cock pump too.

New Product: Fort Troff Under Bed Sling

Fort Troff just came out with a new product called The Leg Sling. It’s an easily portable sling that will hold up the legs allowing for some hot fucking, fisting and whatever else you nasty pigs might be doing. Check out the link, they have a demo video of them putting it together and using it.

It’s designed for easy assembly and only weighs 9 lbs. Great if you have limited space to use and/or store a full sling. It uses a pretty cool pully system to hold the stirrups (which are not included).

This looks great if you need something for travel. Bbased on the $299 (plus stirrups) price tag though, if you are looking at getting a sling, you may want to check out a real full sling for just a little bit more. Also, I’m a little worried about the construction because it’s made of aluminum. It looks semi-solid, and maybe I’ll see it at IML this year to give a better review.

Are you a Serial Killer or just kinky?

I was checking out Shotgun Video to see what he’s working on and ran across the Educational section. I never thought that my sadist interests might lead people to think I’m a candidate to become a Serial Killer, but luckily there are some differences.

[P.E. Dietz is a forensic psychologist who consistently tries to point out the absurdity of the link between s/m devotees and psychotic criminals.]

According to Dietz, the five main differences between psychotic sadistic serial murderers and SM devotees:

1. Psychotics search for unwilling partners. S/M devotees use a “safeword” that the submissive can say at any time to end the scene, thus the submissive retains real control throughout the encounter.

2. Psychotics force their acts on the victim rather than aiming at pleasing the submissive (as in s/m). The psychotic sadistic acts are quite different from s/m practices, and usually include: forced anal penetration, forced fellatio, or violent vagina-penetration with various foreign objects -rather than the penis.

3. The sadistic offenders’ demeanor is diametrically opposed to s/m devotees: usually the psychotic is detached and unemotional throughout the torture, while the s/m dominant appears to achieve a “high” or pleasure equivalent during the scene.

4. Psychotic criminals torture their victims, inflicting serious and permanent injury, trying to arouse terror in their victims. S/M devotees skillfully enhance the sexual arousal of their partner, following the rules and guidelines that were established before the scene, thus creating only the illusion that the submissive is not in control.

5. Psychotics usually have a past history of sexual crimes such as rape or incest. S/M devotees are average people who typically don’t have criminal pasts.

Park Elliot Dietz, forensic psychologist (Ph.D) [source]

Roger at Shotgun Video has some very HOT vids, especially if you love CBT (cock and ball torture). He even has a couple spots on his website where he’ll talk about how to do certain techniques and a lot of the safety aspects of kink-play. Definitely worth checking out.

New Nasty Pig Gear – Spring 2009

I love Nasty Pig. They have an awesome brand and their products are pretty damn awesome. If you do buy anything that are very size dependent like jeans, make SURE you try them on first. The sizing isn’t the most accurate.

Don’t EVER Forget Sex…

If you’ve never the comic series Adam and Andy, it’s pretty damn good. I even bought the print book about a month back. While the comic may not be very kinky, it still very well portrays a fun, but real gay life.
