The ultimate fetish pointe-shoe

The ultimate fetish pointe-shoe: the Bloch Alpha (S0104) ¾ outsole pointe.

The Photo: The Bloch Alpha (S0104) ¾ outsole pointe. They show off a woman’s high arches wonderfully and guys seem to like the heels totally sheathed in satin. These are my menstrual shoes a bit larger that the ones I wear during the rest of my cycle.  The Alpha S0104 should only be worn by experienced dancers, but that hasn’t stopped wannabes buying them from their LDS after I recently began wearing mine to the clubs in town. If that continues the sports Orthropods should be busy with ankle and foot injuries. I thought I’d post this shot as men always seem to appreciate seeing me with my legs in the air.

The Bloch Alpha as a fetish pointe-shoe: Not only are pointe-shoes more physically and technically difficult to wear than ballet-boots, but the Bloch Alpha is (in my opinion) the most difficult pointe-shoe to train, perform and play in. Since I’ve been wearing Alphas to the foot-fetish venues at Naughty Pleasures there has been a spike in interest in Bloch Alpha pointes by other women far less qualified to wear them than me.

Alpha pointes for ballet-sex: Wearing Bloch Alpha pointes for ballet-sex [defined as: being penetrated from behind while bent over holding on to a barre, chair or table with the feet sur les pointes a la seconde] should not be attempted by inexperienced women. Alpha pointes are for women very experienced in pointework at the professional level and then only by ones with very strong feet. A friend suggested I try Alphas for ballet-sex. I was skeptical, but I’m glad I agreed to try them as I love wearing Alphas when being taken by a lusty man!

Returning readers know how much I like hard shanked Gaynors for ballet-sex since they allow me to not have to concentrate on staying over the blocks and let me enjoy my orgasms. And with platform pads Gaynors provide the best protection against injury from thrust-drop with a much taller partner. With Alpha’s very light full insoles - a 2.5MM red board just above the outsole cut while a full-length top layer of leather board is placed to protect the arch tendons and muscles - no appreciable weight can be put on the heels for any length of time though the insole will flex during thrust-drop. But putting weight on the heels (called ‘sitting in the shoes’) can crush the light insoles which provide no support.  However, Alpha pointes look and feel amazingly erotic!  Alpha runs 2 ½ sizes smaller than my street shoe size and the widths are narrower than in Freeds. The 4 ½, my regular size, are just a tiny bit snug on me with toe pads which I like in a pointe-shoe made of conventional materials because they will stretch slightly with wear. The 5 ½ size I wear when I’m on my period.

The eroticism of wearing Alpha pointes and knowing how they show off my high arches motivates me to both stay over the blocks and be able to relax enough to enjoy my orgasms something I’d found difficult to do before in shoes made of conventional materials. And, satin under the heels gives them an inverted heel ratio that stretches the Achilles tendons when flat, which is always a good thing. They are a bit different and harder to balance in when used to wearing full soled more heavily shanked pointes because of the lack of full supportive shanks, which I think is good in a training shoe. And the width is narrower, but the broad box is excellent for the Giselle/peasant foot with three toes of the same length which I have and I love the sueded insole liner.

Risks and rewards: There are risks for dancers like me with high arches when wearing Alpha with a ¾ outsole and basically no shanks as we typically have weak arches and need hard shanked shoes. However, I have very strong feet and more than thirty years on my toes so I feel quite safe while wearing them for ballet-sex even when with a partner where there is significant thrust-drop. That’s because as tight as the shoes are my toes are numb by the time I warm up and he gets his rhythm going. I just need to be sure my nails are cut close so I don’t bruise a nail when I’m dropped on my platforms. As a masochist I like the feeling of being dropped on my toes and as a narcissist I love how well the shoes show off my high arches, satin sheathed heels and make my feet and legs look gorgeous! 

 

 

Prentif and its sado-masochist use

A 25 mm Prentif cervical cap and hard shank Gaynors

The Prentif Cavity Rim cervical cap: The Prentif, approved by the FDA in the late 80s for use in the U.S as a contraceptive barrier, came in four sizes: 22, 25, 28, and 31mm, which were the internal dimensions of the base of the dome. I take a 25mm and bought several before the manufacturer, Lamberts, stopped making them in about 2005 and I continue to find wearing them fun. When forced down over a smooth walled cervix the cavity in the rim develops a strong suction that holds it securely on the cervix. Once the cap is properly positioned the tab on the shoulder of the rim (seen at about one-o’clock in the photo above) is used to turn the cap a full turn while pressing on the dome to ‘screw it down’ on the cervix.

When Prentif is used as intended, for contraception, it’s important to remember that the tab should be positioned behind the cervix after the turn to screw the cap down so that the edges aren’t hit by a thrusting penis. The Prentif, for those fortunate enough to have serviceable ones, can be worn continuously for 48 hours w/o using any additional spermicide. Prentif is as effective, about 94%, as a diaphragm for nulliparous women. For parous women cervical changes make the Prentif only about 85% effective. I think the biggest problem with the Prentif cap was that there was not size smaller than the 22mm, say about 19mm as a great many women who wanted to wear a Prentif had cervixes too small to be properly fitted.

Dimensions and fit: The 25mm cap is 4cm tall and when forced on to a typical 3 cm long cervix there is about a 2cm space between the tip of the cervix and the inside top of the dome. This space is usually partially filled with a spermicide as back-up contraception so if the cap displaces sperm will be immobilized by the spermicide in the dome. When the cap is suctioning well the vacuum in the domes of the 25 through 31 mm sizes will cause the top of the dome to dimple. The dome of the 22mm is too stiff to dimple under vacuum. A sign that the cap is too old and the latex is getting stiff is if the dome of 25mm and larger caps becomes permanently dimpled.

When I wore a Prentif as my primary method in the late 90s my fit was so tight that I never used spermicide in the dome and had to pry it off after a 48 hour wearing interval. If a woman wearing a 22mm Prentif was fertile and she wore the cap for the full 48 hour interval there was a possibility that the dome could fill with fertile cervical mucus and then when hit by a thrusting penis it could ‘float off’ her cervix. Even though I wear a 25mm I thought it was a good idea when fertile to wear Prentif for only 24 hours to make sure the dome wasn’t full and I didn’t have an accident.

Sado-Masochism and Prentif: The outer diameter of a 25mm cap is about 4cm at the base of the cap, thus increasing the diameter at the base of the cervix by about 1.5cm when the cap is properly positioned. The increase in length of the cervix by as much as 2cm (discussed above) and its diameter by 1.5cm increases the cervix ‘target’ size. This is a condition seemingly appreciated only by a few Prentif wearers and our partners in the BDSM community who enjoy cervical or penile glans battering (both of which are acquired tastes) if the man is not quite long enough to reach the cervix unaided.

Cervix battering: For cervix battering of a masochist partner most men don’t seem to mind thrusting into the Prentifs soft dome. The base containing the cavity rim is a bit stiffer, but if the shoulder tab is behind the cervix so it isn’t hit my partners say it’s not uncomfortable and often overlooked when the woman gasps or moans when he hits the dome straight on. If a nulliparous woman’s cervix is smooth and the cap correctly sized and screwed down tight a thrusting penis shouldn’t dislodge it.

Glans battering: For glans battering the shoulder tab is rotated so it faces the anterior wall of the vagina. That way the man is quite likely to hit the tab with some frequency. When glans battering is intended it’s best to have the man wear a well fitting cock ring to prevent him going flaccid when he hits the tab. Of course a man in a cock ring limits the duration of safe play to about 20 minutes. Very few male masochists can repeatedly hit the shoulder tab of a Prentif and retain an erection w/o wearing a cock ring. I’ve found that astride where I control the depth and direction of penetration or missionary where I’m wearing bedshoes to increase the range of my pelvic thrusts, are the best positions for battering a man’s glans.

Escorts, caution and the Prentif: For the few escorts who specialize in male penile sadism it’s a premium service. Using a Prentif that way takes experience (there are no classes) so she knows how to hit his glans a glancing blow with the tab to minimize the number of solid hits she takes to her cervix while causing him the most pain. That’s because uterine prolapse where the uterus drops into the vagina, is a common problem experienced by escorts who specialize in clients paying for rough cervical contact. Uterine prolapse in an escort is usually the end of her career since even with surgery afterward she is rarely the same.

In my teens it took me getting only a few solid blows to my cervix to learn to adjust my hips and pelvis to take glancing blows that stimulate my libido while minimizing the possibility of damage to the muscles and ligaments holding my uterus in place. Of course working out with Ben Wa balls as we all do is very good exercise to strengthen the pelvic muscles to avoid a prolapse.

Lesbians, ballet boots and H1N1

Dive-sex foreplay - the all girl version.

Men’s fascination with lesbians: Men seem to have an unquenchable fascination with Sappho’s sisters. Perhaps it’s because they appear exotic, being able to make love to one another w/o fear of pregnancy and the possible complication of abortion as the result of recreational sex. Or perhaps it’s just watching two beautiful women sucking each other’s breasts and finger-fucking each other. Having vagina’s immensely simplifies the sanitary requirements for penetrative sex, but the fact that lesbians can’t produce erections can, I would think, be a mixed blessing depending which way their minds are going at the moment. Being an almost pure heterosexual I’ve never been able to get much pleasure from the use of a strap-on because if not used correctly it can rupture a partner’s uterus by ramming her cervix too hard. But then I never have a shortage of penis. Taryn says I must subscribe to ‘erection-on-demand’, but it’s just that I’m very popular and come to that so is she. We both seem to be continually draining coital discharge no matter how much we Kegel out. Though, if push comes to shove I can have an absolutely marvelous time soloing with a dildo!

Wiring: Sometimes I think lesbians miss all the fun. The scents and tastes of a lusty male; his testosterone ladened salty sweat, the spicy taste of his thick ropy sperm packed semen sliding down my throat or ice cold as it splatters on my belly after spewing at body temperature out of his tip. How can fluid cool that fast? The scent and tangy taste of his toe cheese when I’m sucking his toes after he’s been on his feet all day. The sandpaper stubble of his beard against my breast as he takes me during a nooner, and the fact that he never puts the seat down after her pees… What’s not to love about all that? But we all have our preferences and it all has to do with the way we’re wired. If a girl wants to make love night after night with just fingers or a dildo in her belly, who am I to say she’s missing out?

Ballet boots and lesbians: A reader asked if I think ballet boots are particular faves of Sappho’s sisters. I don’t think sexual orientation has much to do with ballet boots. Though from what I’ve seen women are far more likely to wear ballet heels, are better at it and are able to withstand the pain of wearing them much better than most men. In my experience what matters is whether the person is a sadist who enjoys watching a partner of any sex in pain while wearing ballet heels or a masochist enjoying the pain of wearing ballet heels him or herself and has relatively little to do with whatever sexual orientation s/he might have. I’ve met some butch lesbian Dungeon Masters but I don’t think the quantity is out of proportion to their numbers in society in general. I will say that in my experience butch lesbians are more interested in ballet heels for the power wearing them correctly and confidently conveys, to women they want to impress, while submissive lesbian masochists enjoy ballet heels for their punitive value. If anyone has a different experience with ballet boots and sexual orientation and would like to comment please leave me a comment or you can email me at the address in my profile.

H1N1 flu and entertainers: Our clinic has begun inoculation of all casino performers, escorts and wait-staff against H1N1 with the new nasal mist. Recent analysis has shown that H1N1 seems to target and is particularly virulent in young women. While the reasons aren’t fully understood it’s thought it may have to do with the fact that even slim women have a higher percentage of our weight in fat (think breasts and hips) and the virus seems to be attracted to fat cells. Another thing is that once infected by H1N1 an otherwise healthy woman is far more likely to contract a virulent type of viral pneumonia which is difficult to treat. All this makes it imperative that every female performer and escort be given the vaccine immediately because they entertain customers and clients from all over the world. Women refusing the vaccine are dismissed unless they have a very good reason as explained in a waiver from a casino physician. Unvaccinated women with a waiver will be relocated to jobs where they will not come in contact with customers and clients. We have fired two girls on the wait-staff who refused w/o a doctor’s waiver, and the union is supportive. There have been no medical waivers so far.
