New Years 2014 at Crag Abbey

May your 2014 be the best year ever!

Menstrual cycling: On New years Day I was CD18 and luteal having ovulated on the 28^th. All the women who came with me are at about the same place in their cycles as we are all cycling naturally. Only Mademoiselles Oui, the French ballerina and His Graces bed partner, is on a hormonal contraceptive, a Mirena IUD so is not cycling. I think it was the ease of the flight over on the G650 that allowed us to travel with almost no changes in our cycles due to long hours or stress. We all took our weekly test for hCG on Monday. Since most of us were ovulating there was almost no chance of anyone testing positive, but there could have been an accident and it’s good to keep to a routine with this sort of thing.

Easing one’s way: On Boxing Day, a bit clandestinely (since it’s the largess of the Laird that should be on display) I distributed gifts to all the Abbey services staff, colorful silk scarves or neckties from Harrods. I just wanted them to know I appreciate their effort on my behalf. Perhaps it’s because I’m Jack, Viscount Sandbach’s, main squeeze, (I’ve been called his Courtesan, a term I’m rather fond of, but that’s not entirely correct as I’m cherished for far more than my pelvic skills). I’m served ahead of all the other women and the women are served first. The fire is lit in the bedroom where I’m sleeping early and the maids are whisper quiet as opposed to Mademoiselle Oui’s service where things the staff can’t be faulted for seem to routinely go wrong. Some say its bad luck others think it’s because she is so demanding. I, on the other hand, try to be easy to get along with as have my wards to look after and my rapport with the staff extends to my girls as well as long as they are courteous.

New Years Eve at the Abbey: His Grace invited the other Lairds in the area to the Abbey for New Years Eve. Most had chauffeurs and those who didn’t stayed over as driving back down the mountain road from the Abbey at night is for clear minds only. I was pleased to see the goldsmith and his wife from whose shop in Inverness I’d purchased the Venus talisman and who passed on to me the much older and larger ceremonial necklace which when worn confirms I’m acting on behalf of the Goddess Venus/Aphrodite on important occasions. It turned out that my goldsmith has a royal warrant from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for provision of fine jewelry and objects of vertu to the monarch and is a local Laird with a small country house outside Inverness. I was pleased to get a chance to dance with him. I wore pointes and danced flat so that I didn’t tower over him and he was a spritely and well coordinated dancer, a disciple of the old ways and a delight to talk with.

The three professional ballet girls Mademoiselle Oui, Willow and I performed, to music from a string ensemble, for the guests before the New Years dinner so we got to eat well like everyone else this time. And our performances were well received. After I danced with my goldsmith I changed into ballet boots, with heel guards, for more dancing since most of the men are tall and I wanted to test my stamina in boots since I hadn’t worn them as often here as I do at home. I was pleased that as with pointe shoes my feet went numb after standing for a while so it was my calves that were the worry, but while they were a bit tight at times I massaged them gently between dances and they were fine.

Twelfth Night: My girls and I will be returning home after Twelfth Night which in medieval times was celebrated on the night of January 5^th. However, now it is celebrated on the night of the 6^th day which is when Western Christians celebrate Epiphany which commemorates the visit of the Magi to the Baby Jesus, and thus Jesus' physical manifestation to the Gentiles. His Grace has Druid roots, but he understands the importance of celebrating other younger beliefs that have morphed from the Gods and Goddesses of old. So we have another marvelous week of stamina building and superb sex before we leave from Inverness airport on January 7^th.

Deep vaginal penetration: This week my girls and I are using our Reflexions latex diaphragms to offer (as a change of pace) a distinctive feeling to bareback partners who are large enough to thrust into our Anterior Fornices and love sex involving latex. I’ve written before about this being possible for women whose cervix enters her vagina at an angle which allows the penis to thrust directly into the anterior fornix, which most do.

When thrust into at the proper angle the cervix will direct the glans into the stretchy translucent latex membrane covering the anterior fornix like a drum head.  The dome is pulled tight over the cervix putting upward pressure on the cervix as the dome is stretched the 2 cm or so into the wearer’s anterior fornix causing the stretching latex to grip the lover’s glans tighter the deeper it is thrust into the fornix.  Feeling the stretching of the dome as pressure pushing my cervix deeper into me as the dome tightens its grip on my partner’s thrusting glans and we both moan is so awesome!

Mademoiselle Oui and BV: One never likes to see a fellow dancer in trouble, but Mademoiselle Oui is difficult to like. I offered her the prefilled vaginal applicators of DiveGel+ to use as a vaginal pH balancer because of the number and frequency of the men penetrating us during the house party. She refused and now has Bacterial Vaginosis, an overgrowth of bacteria. New Years day she developed vaginal itching and a green discharge that smelled like rotting fish until Chris put her on an antibiotic. The itching has gone so she feels fine, but her confidence suffered badly and she is off men for the duration of the house party. I’m not sure when she is due back in Paris or to perform again with the POB. Our male partners were all subject to a thorough washing with antibacterial soap and put on a short duration regimen of antibiotic to prevent spreading the problem and Chris said we should abstain from PVI for a day or so.  So it was girl-girl sex last night and perhaps for another night or two.

Girl-girl sex: Last night we buddied up. The Swan twins with each other, Bea and Beth, and Willow with me. I offered Tanaquil a place in my bed but she wanted to sleep alone. We used Sybian machines and Pyrex dildos and the girls all took turns milking me. It was a lovely quiet marvelously gentle female evening with the scent of breast milk, vanilla, lavender and estrogenic sweat.

Vaginal health

Vaginal Health: Thanksgiving weekend I had nine men as guests along with the women they were escorting, they were: Chris, Robin, Jeff, Pirate, Peter, Colin, Clark, Adolph and Jon. The tenth is Jacques, Gigi’s father, and my main squeeze and live-in lover. With the exception of Colin, who Fiona (Cyndi’s Mom) tried to put off limits (except to me) the other men; including Jacques were shared for the weekend so every woman got to bed every man at least twice. Well, that was the plan. Since most of the women, other than me, have GyneFix IUDs implanted pregnancy wasn’t really a concern. I could sense Fiona was afraid I would take Colin away from her, or be so much better in bed that he would begin comparing her to what he got from me. I don’t think so. Jacques is an excellent judge of a woman’s sexual abilities and had bedded Fiona before. He says “she is a very good lay, tight, deep, wet and very exciting with a marvelous scent” were his exact words. Colin is fun and a good lover with a better than average package and technique, but as a Brit he is a bit too reserved for me and I’m not in the mood to collect British SAS officers right now either. So Fiona is quite safe in that regard (aside from my using him temporarily to fill me with sperm) but she was still edgy when he was around me.

I understand her not wanting to share Colin, but it was only for the holiday and it wasn’t like she had taken a vow of chastity herself. We were all draining semen the entire weekend and this morning as well. Even with SET – semen emitting technique – using Kegels and tissues to squeeze most of the semen out - we still drained into our thongs. I left packs of party thongs for the girls in each of their rooms and in the bathrooms in the formal area so they could change as necessary and toss the old ones.

Everyone had a recent full STI panel so there was no concern there, but by taking that many different men bareback - which is how we all wanted them - in such a short interval there is always a chance of unbalancing the vaginal flora and ending up with a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. Neither of those are STIs (like Chlamydia, Herpes or gonorrhea are) but still they are uncomfortable and can be frustrating to treat. So I took Jeff up on an offer he had made several months ago to add an experimental biocide to Dive-Gel. He wanted us to trial it and he’s calling it DiveGel+.

DiveGel+: The biocide has been in clinical trial as Gel-33 in Thai brothels. They were hoping for a reduction in the transmission of the HIV virus, but that hasn’t materialized. What the results did show is the cases of YIs and BV dropped to nearly zero. So Jeff added 4% of the experimental biocide to Dive-Gel as the application medium and packaged it in a case of 48 100 ml tubes and is calling it DiveGel+. We all used DG+ as a lube for the long weekend and it will be interesting to see if anyone comes down with a YI or BV.

As part of getting Jeff to provide us the DG+ I agreed to have our clinic enroll the female escort trainees, my circle of friends, my ballet company and the ballet classes and swim teams at St Lucy’s as participants in the clinical trial so he can get some data closer to home. That way he is also covered in providing an experimental drug to a limited number of local women. The clinic had already been talking about wanting to participate in a clinical trial of a biocide so I didn’t have any problem getting them to agree to sign on with Jeff’s DiveGel+ formulation as they were already using and recommending Dive-Gel to their professional patients.

Premarin and well hung men: Shortly after Fiona arrived last Tuesday, while I was telling her about the men we would be sampling over the holiday weekend she confided that her vaginal tissues weren’t as stretchy as they once were. At 44 she’s not that much older than I am and she uses her well preserved body in her work, just not as blatantly as I do, so I thought she would have had any vaginal atrophy already being treated, but she said that the congressmen, senators and lobbyists she works with weren’t super-sized as far as their packages were concerned so she had been putting it off. She only realized she had a problem because her largest dildo that she had been fond of using was becoming painful to insert, not from lack of her natural lube but because her tissues weren’t as stretchy as they were a few years ago.

At 39 I knew exactly what she meant and when I found myself getting that way two years ago I started a regimen of the topical estrogen Premarin, a finger full to coat the external vaginal tissues around the introitus that are subject to tearing with penetration by a very large diameter man or one who corkscrews as he buries his shaft which can sometimes catch a fold of labial tissue if I’m not fully aroused when he enters me. I use the .025 mg/gram strength which is the lowest dose and is enough to make me super stretchy w/o noticeable estrogenic side effects. I had Chuck our male Gyn write her an Rx and give her a tube of .025 mg Premarin and told her she might want to hold off taking Peter, Clark and Jon until Saturday as they were spectacularly hung as far as diameter (the critical dimension) is concerned to give the estrogen cream at least three days to work it’s magic. I’m pleased to say she was able to easily handle Jon the largest and the one with the most corkscrew thrust. She confided afterward that after using the Premarin for three days she felt as though she was twenty-five again.

Cyndi and Peter: Cyndi especially enjoyed taking Peter (as a change from Chris) so the weekend was special for her in that way. I think it’s not only because his package is so large and he uses it so well, but because Peter has impregnated so many women who thought they were quite safe using an effective method of birth control only to find a few days after sleeping with Peter that they tested positive for hCG. He seems to be especially good about fertilizing the eggs of girls on hormones who have either forgotten to take a pill, change a patch or insert a new ring. Taking meds that reduce the levels of hormones in the bloodstream leading to breakthrough ovulation is another way Peter’s pregnancies (as they are called) occur. He has a really high sperm count so every time he plants his seed in a woman’s belly she has to wonder, regardless of how good her contraceptive protection is. Actually Peter is in demand by women for that very reason; his groupies love the unknown waiting breathlessly for the results of their pregnancy tests after having an encounter with him to find out if they need to take Mifeprex.

Labia Labs and rotting rubber

Julie Adams and Ben Chapman in
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

Latex allergies: For dancers, fetishists and St Lucy’s students who are allergic to latex silicone rubber and now nitrile fetish clothing is being made and nearly all contraceptive cervical barriers are now made of medical grade silicone. I last covered latex allergies in my post for October 7, 2009 and I’m mentioning it again now because I had a dancer leave the company because she thought she was being discriminated against in being passed over for roles because of her latex allergy. It’s true that she would have been perfect as the heroine Kay Lawrence [played by Julie Adams in the 1954 film, see the vintage photo above] in my ballet version of ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’, except that the Creature’s suit (rented from the costume company that bought the film studio’s costume department) is latex and cost thousands of dollars and we tried her with the guy in the latex Creature suit and she had a serious allergic reaction to his costume. She wanted us to have a silicone Creature suit made which would cost a fortune which we refused to do so she is suing for discrimination.

My version of the “Creature” will be an aqua-ballet which will include (in addition to updated hair and swimsuit styles) dive-sex – Kay Lawrence with the Gill Man and also her fiancé. The women will be in pool-pointes (which can be worn for pointework in and out of the water) and bikinis. I don’t think the inter-species copulation will raise nearly as big a commotion this time as when we had a dancer penetrated doggie style by a Great Dane (costumed as a wolf) during every performance of my ballet version of Little Red Riding hood several years ago. Well, it was almost every performance because sometimes the dog just wouldn’t perform no matter how much estrus secretions the dancer playing RRH smeared around her vulva.

Rotting rubber – Part 1: Some of the latex wetsuits worn for fetish diving by women in this area are coming apart. The zipper welds and other stress points in the suits are tearing apart when worn in fetish club pools. Several of the women have spent big bucks for top of the line brand diving latex only to find the suits seams are tearing after only one or two wearings. We think it has to do with new pool chemicals that were supposed to be less harmful to colors and our hair than chlorine and more robust to counter higher levels of bacteria in club pools than the normal bromine filtration can handle. Apparently the welded seams and small nicks or scrapes of the latex suits are susceptible to absorption of some component in the new chlorine derivative that softens the rubber.

Labia Labs: Jeff and I and Gepetto have set up a small branch of the laboratory to deal exclusively with finding solutions for sexual and fetish market needs. Jeff facetiously referred to it as Labia Labs and the name stuck I’m funding Labia Labs (LL) and Gepetto is in as a partner to supply a limited amount of production capacity. Funding LL through the clinic for medical research allows nearly all of a loss to be written off at tax time. The operation is pretty much an experimental operation to try various ideas w/o having to worry too much about making a profit.

Rotting rubber – Part 2: One of the first projects Labia Labs are working on is to fill the needs of a niche market for the scent of decomposing natural fluids collected in the dome of a woman’s cervical barrier. The medical research aspect is to prevent bacterial infection in the wearer. While silicone rubber will work extremely well as a collector the porous nature of natural rubber latex diaphragms makes them the ideal devices to accelerate the interaction of the rubber and the decaying combination of cervical fluid, the woman’s natural lube and semen intentionally introduced into the dome. The market for this malodorous fluid will be to serious vaginal rubber fetishists who want to have the strong fishy-rubbery scent and rancid taste of decaying natural fluids while giving a woman oral sex or in a few cases to drink the strongly scented fluid pooled in the dome of the woman’s latex diaphragm. The marketing concept (if the product ever goes to market) is of a beautiful woman – think Angelina Jolie - mounted so continuously by a series of male partners that for several days she hadn’t time to switch or clean her barrier because she always had live sperm inside her. So the latex dome collected her cervical fluid, her natural arousal lube and semen introduced by partner(s) who thrust under the rim and ejaculated in the latex dome. There will be a caution that women who aren’t fitted with a GyneFix IUD implant should not try for semen in the dome unless they are on hormonal contraceptives, or can deal with an unintended pregnancy.

With the marinade of FCM, arousal lube and semen the rubber ‘cures’ deep in the girls belly for 24 to 48 hours until the scent has ripened to the point it can be easily detected by anyone with a severe head cold as she walks by. Think of the stench of Bacterial vaginosis – on steroids - w/o the infection. What LL are working on is a formulation of latex that is strong enough to be used in a diaphragm for contraception or as a gas guard but which is more reactive to natural genital fluids; fertile cervical fluid, female and male natural lubricant and semen.

Can you guess who is pushing for the successful completion of this project? It’s Adolph! He is a connoisseur of this naturally occurring scent and is hoping that by producing latex that is more reactive to bodily fluids the interval to produce the scent can be appreciably shortened. The head chemist thinks the decomposition process can be accelerated by at least 50% Which means producing the desired result in 12 to 24 hours of continuous wearing w/o any harm to the wearer though the experimental diaphragms I’ve worn (only when I’m around Adolph when no one else can smell the stench) are warmer than body temperature from the chemical reaction going on with my genital fluids. I’m assured there is no possibility of Toxic shock syndrome

Gigi meets Abi: Gigi met Abi professionally, as her underwater bondage instructor, yesterday and it went rather well I thought, meaning Gigi did exactly what Abi told her to do and came through the lesson exhausted but unharmed. She has at least another three one-hour lessons. Returning readers will remember that in my entry for March 11, 2010 I wrote about Chris giving Gigi an introduction to underwater bondage so she wouldn’t be a complete novice when she started Abi’s course at Splash. Gigi’s supervisor the Towel-Girl Mistress at Splash says Gigi is one of their client’s fave part-time TGs because of her willingness to do almost anything and the amazing strength of her velvet vice. And Gigi was one of the first TGs to sign up for Abi’s UB class. I had been working with Gigi on breath control during orgasm so she doesn’t hyperventilate and suck her tank dry while having dive-sex. The breath control as well as staying focused while Abi was telling her and showing her how to get out of seemingly escape-proof bondage situations really paid off. Two other TGs weren’t so lucky and are recovering from broken ribs and pneumonia in the private hospital the fetish community has set up to handle these sorts of injuries.

Sexual activity and sexual health

Enjoying an al fresco Class in NYC

Escorts and sexual health: The breasts and vulva of an escort get very heavily used and often abused so they need to pamper themselves when possible. Lanolin cream is used as a soothing nipple moisturizer and 2% estrogen cream is great for vulvar and vaginal tissue lubrication and flexibility. In addition, because of the number of different partners an escort has, they need some protection from bacterial vaginosis (BV) which isn’t an STI, it’s like a yeast infection where one of the bacteria’s usually resident in the vagina becomes dominant and the overgrowth of that bacteria can cause problems up to and including PID which can cause scaring of a girls fallopian tubes resulting in sterility. A man introduces his own set of bacteria into his partner’s vagina upsetting her vaginal pH. Over time a girl usually adjusts to her boyfriend’s bacteria but with a new partner or partners and new sets of bacteria sometimes the adjustment can’t be made and an overgrowth and BV occurs. BV is one of the most common problems a sexually active woman can have and since often BV is asymptomatic she doesn’t realize she has a problem.

Because of the number of men available at one of my Holiday parties and the fact that the girls will be sampling the delights of as many of them as we want I got a case of SemécidePlus in 10ml prefilled applicators from the clinic. Returning readers will remember Semécide (which is dive-gel with a spermicide added) from earlier blog entries. SemécidePlus is something new for the U.S. that is in clinical trial for sex workers. It has a biocide in it to stabilize the vaginal pH. Something similar (dive-gel isn’t the binder) is being trialed in Europe under a different name and has been very successful in minimizing yeast and BV infections so I thought since Marie-Claude, Shelly, Cyndi, Diané and Fiona weren’t used to having this many men over such a short interval it would be a good idea to have something that will reduce the likelihood that any of us will have a problem. Anya, Taryn and I are the most sexually active with multiple partners and weekly testing shows we haven’t had problems, but it never hurts to have a bit more protection. Dive-gel lube is absolutely necessary for dive-sex, so it was no additional trouble to use SemécidePlus instead. So far this weekend we have been obliging any man who is interested in sampling our depths and things are going very well. Of course Ibuprofen is standard to reduce the amount of spotting from having our cervixes rammed and the pelvic discomfort from our montes veneris being pounded by a partner’s pubic bone.

Reader’s questions:

About noise while diving: “I would assume the echoing of all the valves and bubbles are intensified with the density of the water as well. You might have to, when you blog about that, compare pool orgies to open-water ones”

Sound transmission through water is determined by water temperature and density, the colder the water the denser it is. Pool water density is affected primarily by its temperature which in the pit – unless I have the thermocline pumps and chiller turned on – is kept constant with temps in the mid-80s for comfortable dive-sex w/o overheating. The speed and strength of sound can vary depending on particulate matter in the water, but for commercial pools with clear water the size is so small that to the human ear any differences are undetectable. It’s the pool walls or other hard surfaces of equipment in the pool that reflect the sounds of divers breathing equipment. There may also be background noise from circulator and drain pumps if a diver holds her breath to catch the lowest level sounds.

My experience in the open water of the bay at my place on Virgin Gorda is that there is a good bit of ambient sea noise of the waves and surf and if there are porpoise near by you can sometimes hear them communicating with a series of clicks, tweets and squeaks. Sea water is denser than fresh water primarily because of the dissolved salt, but again it is temperature that can affect sound transmission. Temperature gradients, thermoclines, can cause sounds to be amplified or disappear, but my experience has been that thermoclines are usually deeper than recreational divers go, especially for dive-sex because the temperature drops the deeper you go. SCUBA noise in an open ocean environment has always seemed to be a bit less noticeable, perhaps because there is so much going on visually to occupy my attention. And of course there are usually no confining walls – unless you are diving an abyssal wall - for the sound to reflect back from when diving open water.

Football on Thanksgiving Day: A reader asked if I follow football teams, and if so which ones. The answer is no and yes. No, I’m generally not into sports, other that those involving sex. But if I’m with a group that is watching football as they were on Thanksgiving then yes I will root for teams located in cities where I have danced or gone to school. If neither of those criteria is met I’ll flip a coin. For the games on Thanksgiving:

1. Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions I flipped a coin and got Detroit. Packers’ over the Lions, 34-12
2. Oakland Raiders at Dallas Cowboys. I rooted for Oakland because I danced in Oakland. Cowboys over the Raiders 24-7. Sigh!
3. New York Giants at Denver Broncos I rooted for the Giants because I went to school in NY. Broncos over Giants 16-6. In football I was 0 for 3 for the day! Go figure! Sigh! I did far better with other sports!

Other teams I favor if I happen to watch are:
Houston Texans … I know, but its because I danced in Houston.
Philadelphia Eagles (even though they signed Michael Vick) because I danced in Philadelphia.

The good news: Thanksgiving day I was very pleased to see that the availability of sex was of far more interest to the guys than football. I’m not sure that any of the males, even Jeff who probably has the lowest sex drive of the group, watched much football. And the Brit Major, Colin, who came with Fiona – I think primarily as a body guard – has had Cyndi, Shelly, Anya and Diané already. Perhaps he isn’t staying close to Fi because she is in a guarded perimeter (though guarded perimeters didn’t stop Tareq and Michaele Salahi recently at a location supposedly better guarded than this one – testimony to what a thin, pretty, blond can do when she wants to) and Colin probably doesn’t often find himself in such a bountiful garden of earthly delights. When I asked Fi about that she said she had given him permission to graze as long as they were inside my home. I was surprised that he had bedded Cyndi, Fiona’s 16 y/o daughter, and bedded her first. Fi said he is recruiting for MI6 and she wanted Colin to test Cyndi for possible recruitment after she completes her Oxbridge education. She said aristocratic Brit-chicks with enquiring minds and raging libidos do well in the SIS.

Those of us who can are wearing leather pointe shoes and Wolford string body suits to show off our assets. I am barelegged to allow immediate access. I just bend over and my partner pulls the thong to one side. Most of the other girls are in thongs too, but a few are wearing skirts as well. The girls who can’t wear pointes confidently, Diané and Fiona, are alternating between ballet slippers for comfort and pairs of 5” stripper’s heels to wear when being penetrated from behind. I’ve taken Fi to Gepetto’s for Pleasure boots, but she isn’t an enthusiastic wearer and doesn’t have the skill developed by years of pointe to wear them confidently. So I think it’s problematic as to whether Fi will actually hunt men while wearing ballet heels.

Sex in a flooded dry suit – a preview: Thanksgiving morning turned out to be a bit different, and far more exciting, than I expected! I have a new DUI drysuit that I was practicing with in the pit. I was practicing getting out of inversions and I’ll admit showing off a bit. If the diver is using a drysuit to provide buoyancy control and accidentally becomes inverted s/he loses the ability to control buoyancy. If the diver can’t get out of the inverted position (her booties pointing toward the surface and her head down) she can end up with an uncontrolled ascent which can cause decompression sickness (DCS) and death. Jacques was in the pool with me as my buddy. [His ears have cleared and he can equalize easily all the way to the bottom of the pit. Thanks to those who have asked about him.] One thing led to another as it often will with a man and it ended up with him helping me get out of a perfectly good fully functioning drysuit for dive-sex at the bottom of the pit. It was a first for us both! It will take too long to write about the experience now but I promise to in the near future.
