The Ring-Maidens

NuvaRing an etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol dispensing vaginal contraceptive ring

The photo: NuvaRing is a non-biodegradable, flexible, transparent, and colorless to almost colorless, combination contraceptive vaginal ring, with an outer diameter of 54 mm and a cross-sectional diameter of 4 mm. It is made of ethylene vinylacetate copolymers and magnesium stearate, and contains 11.7 mg etonogestrel and 2.7 mg ethinyl estradiol.

NuvaRings dosage and strength: When placed in the vagina, each ring releases on average 0.120 mg/day of etonogestrel and 0.015 mg/day of ethinyl estradiol over a three-week period of use. However, NuvaRing can remain continuously inserted for a maximum of four weeks w/o reducing the user’s protection. 

The Ring-Maidens: My wards, Willow and the Swan Twins, Odette and Odile, have girlfriend from UNLV visit us in London for a few weeks before they all start grad school in the fall. The girls have ballet backgrounds, willow met them as students in the pointe class she taught at UNLV, having all had at least ten years of ballet and six years of pointe. One of the reasons they came to visit, in addition to the marvelous shopping opportunities in London, is that when they would meet in Vegas to gossip Willow would tell them of the awesome ballet-sex she was having which led to the friends developing ballet-sex fantasies and this summer was the perfect time to bring those fantasies to life. Willow and I teach technique and pointe classes in the studio at Blackthorn house and dive-sex in the basement pool.

As much as I’ve tried to get their friends to switch to IUDs or Nexplanon the three of them all use NuvaRing for contraception. NuvaRing is effective if you lead a vanilla sex life which is not what our visitors wanted or are having so there have been some unexpected complications. Two have had their rings disappear during dive-sex in the pool at Blackthorn House in Eaton Square, but I was able to get replacements immediately through the Blackthorn supported clinic where I fit contraceptive barriers. The girls have all had their Gardasil shots and passed full panel STI tests before they left Vegas so as Ring-Maidens they could safely become sexually active right away which is what happened as Willow likes to get her guests into the swing of things right away.

Willow, now back dancing with her company at Covent Garden, has fixed her guests up with male ballet dancer friends who are working for Taryn’s procuress, Tanaquil, who is based in Munich. Eventually the ballet boys will be moonlighting as escorts, but they are now in training to build up sexual stamina before they can be placed with the sort of up-market sexually predatory women who are Tanaquil’s best customers. So our Ring-Maiden guests are having as much or more sex with strong, handsome, virile ballet partners than they can handle. Well, perhaps not that much, but they are all having a marvelous time in bed or backed against a mirrored wall or on their toes sur les pointes a la seconde bent over holding on to the barre while being thrust into from behind and are sore in the mornings!

Willow will be taking the Ring-Maidens as well as Bea and the Swan Twins to tea at the Royal Opera House in the beautiful surroundings of the spectacular, vaulted glass and cast iron Floral Hall constructed in 1858 by Edward M. Barry, which was renamed Paul Hamlyn Hall in 2007 in honor of the philanthropist. It was once a lovely part of the Covent Garden flower market. Afternoon tea will be available on weekends at 2:00 PM from 1 August—28 November 2015. The tickets are expensive, but it will be a wonderful experience and a delightful break from shopping to gossip and people-watch. And Marvin and I are taking them and their dates on another day to eat dinner at The Paul Hamlyn hall Balconies Restaurant before seeing a performance.

Tanaquil’s men are all well-hung so I’ve cautioned our Ring-Maidens to make sure their NuvaRings are still inserted when their partners withdraw because with well endowed men the corona of the glans has been known to hook the ring and pull it out, which has I mentioned above has already happened. If the woman is in bed when the ring is pulled out it can often be found, but if it comes out while she is in a pool it can be easily lost. I think the best thing for NuvaRing users to do when being penetrated by a large penis is to remove it before penetration - especially if the woman has a shallow post-pubic vault which makes the ring easier to accidently come out - since it can be safely left out for three hours with no decrease in the wearer’s protection.
