Hoods and penis gags for AST

Polymorphe latex hood showing AST facial features

The Photo: From the Polymorphe catalog showing the A-01 mask facial features – rounded eyes, mouth and nostril openings - required for AST students. This design (w/o the optional hair cone) was modified for St Lucy’s to extend the skirt several inches across the shoulders, back and chest to minimize the likelihood of the neck pulling out of a catsuit during a struggle. It is made of Double Thick (0.040″) latex to increase the compression when fully zipped closed. St Lucy’s has used Polymorphe latex gear for more than five years and we love the high quality and great customer service they provide. I especially like the high quality seams and zippers that don’t pull apart and are easy to open and close regardless of how tight the garment is.

Hoods and AST at St Lucy’s: For reasons of anonymity and safety St Lucy’s students are required to wear hoods during all interaction with their partner/trainers. I’m partial to high quality (Polymorphe) back zip latex hoods for both surface and dive use, but fabric hoods are permitted for surface encounters if they are sufficiently opaque. However, I feel that any student wearing a fabric hood doesn’t have the commitment to BDSM that a St Lucy’s girl should demonstrate if she expects to successfully complete the AST course. That’s because part of a students training is to learn to tolerate the heat that can be generated inside a latex hood during sexual intercourse. I feel it’s an exercise in concentration, to be able to experience the scent of sweat dampened latex as she broils in rubber while her trainer is thrusting into the depths of her tight flat belly and still enjoy an orgasm. Of course dehydration can be a huge problem because of fluid loss through perspiration so staying well hydrated is essential or the rubberist can die of heat stroke.

Sadly, apparently there was an instance of that last month when the partner of Jade Vixen died encased in rubber (or SCUBA gear) in the attic of their home in Philadelphia. For more about that see: http://articles.philly.com/2011-09-14/news/30154678_1_death-pain-s-m-fetish He was a long time rubber/asphyxia fetishist. It’s not just newbies to the kinky world who die while testing equipment or their own endurance or during an encounter.

In the heated training pools at St Lucy’s where thermal protection isn’t necessary Polymorphe chlorinated latex catsuits, hoods, gloves with weighted silicone pool-pointes and FFMs are worn by students and female instructors for ease of bottom bonding while training with gas-guards and rear entry relief zipper penetration. Once a student becomes comfortable with vanilla dive-sex then we add dive-sex while wearing an inflatable penis gag.

Latex hood and FFM seals: We have chosen the latex seal option for our FFM face seals so that worn sealed against a latex hood the mask’s cavity-rim seal develops very strong suction so that when underwater even w/o the spider tightened the seal vacuum will hold the mask on the diver. Latex seals are not as robust so don’t last as long as silicone ones, but since the school FFMs are only used in training/encounter pools where no grit can pit the surfaces the stronger seal makes them better for our training needs, especially for asphyxia training. On the surface even when the wearer is breathing through the ambient breathing valve and the spider has been loosened the mask sealed against a polished latex hood will cling to the hood until the seal vacuum is broken.

Sizing inflatable penis gags for FFMs: We have been fitting my AST students for inflatable penis gags for use while taking BDSM dive training. It’s more difficult than you might think since the length (as determined by the gag and the pressure in it) can block the wearer’s airway and suffocate her or trigger a gag reflex and cause her to drown in her own vomit. But it is a huge rush to have your gag inflated until it blocks the airway just as you reach orgasm! One of the first things a BDSM dive student must do is to find a decongestant that works well for her w/o any side effects like making her drowsy to ensure her nasal passages are wide open when her gag is inflated. Most of the escorts and students prefer Sudafed.

The gag is inflated by means of a LP-hose with an inflate/deflate valve connected to a modified accessory Port on the FFM so that the gag can be controlled by the diver, her instructor or Dom. That means that her SCUBA must be fitted with an octopus and her FFM must have a vacant accessory port available. The most difficult part of using an FFM mounted inflatable penis gag safely is learning to inflate and deflate the gag as the diver’s depth varies, especially during ascent where if the gag isn’t deflated sufficiently the diver can easily suffocate especially if she has been to considerable depth (below 30 feet - 2 ATA) for a prolonged length of time and needs time at a deco stop.

The scent of ‘ripe’ vaginas: An important part of AST is teaching the students how to change the scent of their vaginas to appeal to the tastes of different men. Things that will change the scent of a healthy vagina are: 1) to wear a cervical barrier, diaphragm or cap, continuously for more than 24 hours. The interaction of vaginal fluids with the device will cause a musky odor to develop. The odor may develop faster and stronger with a latex device than a silicone one because the surface of natural latex is porous. 2) Having a man ejaculate directly in the vagina w/o wearing a condom will change the scent of her vagina. 3) And, man’s diet will change the taste and scent of his semen. Meats and spicy foods and alcohol can make the taste/scent of semen unpleasant while eating sweet fruit such as pineapple can sweeten the taste/scent and semen after he eats asparagus can have a very unpleasant aroma. So a male partner’s diet can contribute to a range of vaginal odors. Of course if a woman’s vagina has a colored and unpleasant smelling discharge she probably has a vaginal infection that needs immediate attention.

Under-thrust training

My Gaynors and a latex Reflexions gas guard

AST and under-thrusting: My Advanced Sexual Techniques class at St Lucy’s has a symbiotic relationship with the male escort trainees. One of the ways that the two groups learn from each other is by participation in the diaphragm under-thrusting lab. The AST students get to experience what under-thrusting feels like and the escort trainees learn how to intentionally under-thrust and how to avoid under-thrusting, mutually valuable lessons. This is very valuable to the 80% of students who are not involved in competitive swimming or taking the pre-professional ballet syllabus. Swimmers and dancers now get additional under-thrust training because from their touring to other schools they are at higher risk of becoming involved with more adventuresome men. They begin with a Semina (coil spring rim) which is easiest to under-thrust and then when they see how easy it is for a guy to get under the rim they switch to a Reflexions fiat spring where for all but the most determined man it is too painful to thrust under the dome.

Diaphragm changes at St Lucy’s: I have convinced the dean of students that for the students reproductive health the students enrolled in ballet and swimming should routinely be fitted with Reflexions flat spring diaphragms because they provide greater dynamic protection, both from the possibility of being under-thrust and for dive-sex below 30 feet. Under-thrusting has become more of a problem as more and more women out here have started using diaphragms as gas guards for upper reproductive tract protection because of their increased interest in dive-sex, especially when menstrual.

St Lucy’s girls have had one or two instances of under-thrusting by prep-school boys they hooked-up with while at dance or swim competitions at co-ed schools in surrounding states. The girls have been fitted with GyneFix IUD implants so pregnancy wasn’t a concern, but emboli during submerged sex is always a potential and serious problem. The girls had been allowed to use Semina diaphragms which work well if a lover just wants vanilla dive-sex no deeper than 30 feet, but there are more and more men who think its fun to try to compromise their lover’s protection and a flat spring diaphragm makes that very difficult to do using only an erect penis.

Our male escort candidates appreciate the St Lucy’s swimmers, ballet and AST students wearing flat spring rim cervical protection because it gives them more of a real world feel just as though they were having an encounter with a female escort candidate or a paying client rather than an adventuresome teen and it gives the students experience with men who are expert at how to manipulate a woman’s body to completely exhaust her sexually from the intensity of the encounter. The St Lucy’s swimmer/dancers are the envy of the other girls for their access to as much of the very best sex it’s possible for a girl to have in Vegas and get paid walking around money for it.

Stalking staff: We take precautions that our instructor’s identities are hidden from students outside the entertainment industry. They work using professional names and carry no personal ID. Even so we occasionally have a very determined former-student who develops an obsession for an instructor and s/he attempts to force themselves on the person on whom they are fixated. It’s mostly male students stalking women staff, a testosterone thing probably and last week we had another instance. The object of this stalkers obsession is a dancer/diver therapist on the staff of the ASCE course that I wrote about in my entry for November 6, 2010 “Sexual addiction and Vegas”. She was his partner for the training and he obviously formed a strong (but unreciprocated) romantic attachment. Swift and firm action is the only way to stop that sort of behavior.

The head of a freshly euthanized dog (of the same breed as his pet - from a pound that euthanizes strays) was sent by courier to his wife at their home in the mid west. A hand delivered note addressed to the wife was slipped through the mail slot in the front door of their home that said if he didn’t stop the next gift she received would be part of something far more precious to him. After a hysterical call from his wife he seemed to take the warning to heart because he immediately left Vegas and two days later I heard he checked himself into a rehab facility. Go figure!

AST and discharge fetishes

Fertile ‘egg white’ cervical mucus


Advanced Sexual Techniques: I’m CD3 and flowing heavily so today I’m practicing (rehearsing) a form of vampire-sex that I will be teaching a few of my AST students at St Lucy’s on the days I’m at full flow. They really have to be comfortable playing with their discharge for vampire-sex to be successful so it’s usually the older students who have been sexually active for a few years who qualify.

Returning readers remember that for the past three years I’ve been having menstrual extractions (MEs) to remove my endometrium by suction which reduced my period to two days. Because I no longer need to have MEs I can resume having my normal six-day menses where days three and four are my heavy flow days and I can use my menstrual flow as a teaching tool. There are various versions of Vampire-sex but the one I will be teaching requires the woman to either have a GyneFix IUD implanted or use two diaphragms so she will have effective contraceptive protection.

Until recently foreplay using a ripe rubber diaphragm wasn’t in the St Lucy’s AST syllabus because it’s a subject that had rarely come up unless women were talking about ways to get rid of the odor, by soaking the D in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. But by introducing the service in the local fetish community we found there are a surprising number of men who find the scent of a ripe latex diaphragm erotic. And developing a vaginally enhanced pungent rubber odor from her gas guard is an easy way for a girl to get and hold a rubber-fetishist’s attention, so it has become worthwhile including ripe rubber foreplay in the course.

Ripe rubber + menstrual flow: Now, combine the ripe rubbery stench of a latex diaphragm that had been inserted continuously for several days with the scent of menstrual flow and you have man-bait that is irresistible to a man in rubber-lust. It’s also the sort of thing a girl can use to separate the men with real rubber-lust from the guys who say they are into a girl’s vaginal secretions just to get in her panties. If a girl is unsure she can test her guy’s commitment in three stages during different times in her cycle.

A caution. If a woman wants something in addition to the heavy rubbery stench of a ripe rubber diaphragm this technique works best for women who are not using hormonal contraceptives, HCs. That’s because generally woman on HCs will be dryer, that is not producing as much volume in their vaginal secretions, lubricant, cervical fluid or menstrual flow.

Phase one: All a girl has to do is wear her diaphragm continuously for two or three days for it to develop a strong funky rubbery scent from her vaginal secretions interacting with the latex or silicone of her diaphragm. A latex diaphragm (a Reflexions flat spring is the only latex model generally available now) is best for this because the latex develops a strong scent quicker. If you are going to try this as foreplay, be sure to insert the diaphragm ‘dry’ (without spermicide) because the taste of chemical spermicides (using Nonoxynol-9) is horrid and interferes with the taste of a girl’s natural secretions. I’m teaching a series of encounters in three phases to introduce a partner to a woman’s vaginal fluids.

In the first phase she wears the diaphragm for three days during her luteal interval, after the woman has ovulated, when the D can develop a scent but there will be minimal discharge collected by the dome. Then the woman lets her partner remove her D and sniff the scent before he licks her secretions out of the dome. While he is enjoying the taste of her feminine discharge if she isn’t wearing a GyneFix she applies spermicide in her second diaphragm and inserts it so she is protected for the penetrative sex that will follow.

Phase two: If letting him lick out the dome of her luteal interval diaphragm goes well then she has two other discharge options, filling the dome with fertile cervical mucus (FCM) during her mid-cycle fertile days and menstrual flow during her period. If she is still unsure of her partner’s enthusiasm for consuming her discharge she should try him next with her FCM. This can be clear thick (the consistency of egg white) and very stretchy and sometimes brown in color. The brown is from a few drops of oxidized blood from spotting because of the woman’s high estrogen level just prior to or at ovulation and is called ovulation spotting. If he enjoys licking the fertile cervical mucus out of her diaphragm then she can move on to phase three, ripe rubber plus menstrual flow.

Phase three: For phase three she wears her ripe rubber diaphragm during her period to collect her flow. This phase, wearing a diaphragm while menstrual, requires a warning. DO NOT FORGET YOU HAVE A DIAPHRAGM INSERTED! For women on HCs or who are near the end of their flow it is possible that there will not be enough flow to fill the dome and she can forget she is wearing the second D and forget to remove it. Forgetting and leaving old blood in an inserted diaphragm can cause a serious infection or even Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) so a woman using a second D for protection should have some way of reminding herself that her D is still inserted. What I do is leave the empty case for my D on a shelf in plain sight in my bathroom so I see it every time and am reminded.

Ok, so an hour or two before she is to meet her phase three partner she insets her D, if she isn’t already using it for flow control. Then when she has gotten him into an intimate setting she lets him remove her D and drink her flow. I’ve found it’s best to use a dark rubber sheet on the bed and to minimize spillage I lay on my back while my partner is carefully removing the D full of flow. There will be some spillage (blood trickling down my perineum tickles) but with practice that can be minimized by timing, not letting it fill to the rim before removal and care during removal to compress the rim as little as possible, which is a trick most men seem to find difficult to learn. I can tell if he likes drinking my flow if he licks the clots out of the dome then licks the blood off his upper lip, smiles and winks at me. If he does I’ve made a vampire conquest!

Gas masks and St Lucy’s new semester

Mestel SGE 150 gas mask and canister

Gas masks and condoms: We have had a spike in BDSM deaths (well, two in a week) from suffocation. Both were gorgeous and extremely expensive 22 y/o escorts who should have known better than to allow themselves to be fastened to beds with heavy leather restraints. Not that the kind of restraints would have made any difference. Their partner – analysis of his semen found it was the same man – had removed the filter canisters from their standard BDSM gas masks (the Mestel SGE 150 which is less costly than the SGE 400 so is in more common use) and replaced them with an aluminum 40mm fitting extender, then put latex condoms over the extender and fastened the condoms in place with rubber bands so they may have suffocated while he was fucking them. BDSM and especially breathplay is an extremely popular premium service so a girl’s SGE 150 gets a lot of use. The suspect is a man about 6 feet tall, 200 lbs., brown hair, well muscled body, clean shaven and speaks with a French accent. Both girls had a GyneFix implanted and were fertile. None of their clothing seems to have been taken and their slit-kits didn’t seem to be missing anything so we don’t know if he took souvenirs.

We are trying to get the word out to the escort services to be very careful of that sort of request from new clients. Once a client has established a credit history with the service it’s less likely he will turn homicidal especially if he is with a favorite girl, but with BDSM guys sometimes get carried away, so you can never really be sure.

New St Lucy’s girls arrive this week: The pace is picking up again in preparation for the fall semester. Cyndi and Gigi are orientation leaders this year to help the new girls get settled in. New Students have been arriving to be fitted out with the special equipment they will need as are the rising sixth form students who will be taking my Advanced Sexual Techniques course. We had made an exception for Cyndi when she took the AST course when she was fifteen (under the age of consent) but we had permission forms from her mom and her grandmother, the Duchess.

This semester we will have another fifteen y/o Katherine, or Kat, who signed up for AST. She was brought out by her parents from a prestigious girl’s school in NYC and her parents have signed all the requisite permissions for Kat to participate in the sorts of things taught in AST. Actually, she was expelled for repeated inappropriate behavior, but scholastically she is very smart, she’s just adventuresome. The incident for which she was expelled was when she was found enjoying working under one of her gymnastics coaches who was showing her what deep massage therapy felt like and they were really getting it on when her moans brought one of the security guards to investigate. She had her ball-gag in her gym bag and if she had just worn it she wouldn’t have been sent into exile from Manhattan. She was taking gymnastics because the school didn’t have a good dance department so she is switching back to ballet. She had kept up her ballet training with private classes so from her audition video performance she should be able to participate fully at her age level. She seems the sort of high spirited girl who will do well at St Lucy’s. She tested negative for pregnancy (we always check a new student’s urine specimen) so she will start here with a clean record and a creative mind. And she has completed the regimen of Gardasil shots so her vaccinations are all current.

AST Pelvic exam: All St Lucy’s students get a pelvic exam at the start of the school year, but the pelvic given to the students who will be taking the AST course is particularly thorough. That’s because the women’s cervical health and vaginal muscle tone as well as any anatomical irregularities that might interfere with a strenuous regimen of pelvic training, including frequent sexual intercourse, needs to be corrected before classes start or the student must withdraw from the course and reapply after the condition is corrected.

Most of the returning girls had had an AST pelvic before they went home for the summer so they knew if they needed a corrective procedure of one sort or another – often a hymenectomy - and could have it taken care of during vacation. So the second pelvic, upon returning to school, was routine, except for the hCG test of course. HCG tests are never routine with teens on birth control pills since you can never be certain that they have been taking their pills correctly. Then there were the transfer students who had been given a pelvic by their Gyns, but needed the more thorough AST pelvic along with a full physical before starting the course. We also recommend that the student take the schools health insurance through student health which will cover any eventuality including contraceptives, child birth and abortion.

AST course kitting out: A requirement for taking AST is to be a PADI (or equivalent) qualified diver. The AST students arrive several days early to be measured for their latex encasement suits at Gepettos as well as pleasure boots. And for a girl who hasn't already been fitted for a Penetrator plug she is fitted during her pelvic. For a girl getting her first Penetrator is as much a rite of passage as is her first pair of pointe shoes. Many students have already been fitted for diaphragms, but for AST they all get a latex Reflexions flat spring as a gas guard for protection during deep dive-sex which can be used at any time during the woman’s entire cycle. If a student is allergic to latex then she is fitted for a silicone cervical cap which she can wear when she is not menstrual. A cap is harder for teens to insert correctly and can’t be used while menstrual but a cap can be worn safely at any depth.

A single student’s equipment for AST is more than $7,500 and that’s just for the specialty equipment like pleasure boots, rubber encasement suits, a gag set, a selection of dildos and a Sybian. Her SCUBA set, wetsuit, training plug, Penetrator plug, gas guards, splatter mask and other necessary feminine safety equipment aren’t included in the course equipment fees.

An AST off-campus caution: Most AST students are permitted to enroll in teen auxiliaries of local adult fetish clubs. But there needs to be some caution on the student’s part. In theory adult fetish club members aren’t allowed to date St Lucy’s students, but some girls (like Kat) enjoy ignoring the rules. A cervical barrier alone is not enough protection for students venturing into local rubber fetish society. That’s because local men in the rubbers fetish community have been hooking up with very young girls by trolling their teen rubber fetish clubs and taking advantage of new members. One of their fave ways to take advantage of a girl protecting herself by using a rubber contraceptive diaphragm – almost always swimmers or ballet students who are taking a dive-sex course and like to wear their gas guards all the time - is to get her into a compromising position then pull her diaphragm out, stuff it in her mouth as a gag and then penetrate her and finish inside her while she is unprotected. That’s something we try to avoid, but it happens once or twice each year.

So, this year we are requiring all the AST students to be on another effective method of birth control in addition to using a barrier - the pill or a GyneFix are the two most popular ones. That way they can safely attract attention when they are in fetish clubs. Because dazzling young males by their sleek looks while clad in shiny black latex encasement suits and their skill in walking confidently and dancing in a pair of Gepetto’s Pleasure boots is part of their AST training. We call it mind-fucking the locals. With an IUD or on the pill there should be no concern about a possible pregnancy from an encounter where a student has her diaphragm pulled out before she is penetrated. That way the student can pretend to be unprotected and afraid – that’s wonderful drama training - and still be quite safe, when a rubber fetishist pumps semen into her. We have chaperones with the girls, but they can’t be everywhere at once and the girls do need an occasional opportunity to feel they are being naughty. This is Vegas after all!
