Videoing porn during a 6 ATA dive

Looking toward the surface of Adolph’s training facility

Videoing in ‘The Well’: When the Producer from Taryn’s Adult Media video crew (in town to video the ‘French Schoolgirl’ story) saw Adolph’s 200 ft deep training facility, which we call ‘The Well’, she decided to have the script rewritten to have The Well included in the video. It wasn’t as though there was a lot of dialogue to rewrite since the audio will be background music and the sound of gas being sucked through demand valves, moans and gasps of the copulating couple and roar of bubbles rushing toward the surface. The change worked out well since I wanted to give Gigi her first 200 foot (6 atmospheres) dive and she was going to help me clean up the debris, primarily contraceptive devices and bits of bondage apparatus off the bottom. The bottom was overdue for a cleaning since the last time Taryn and I had cleaned it was in December of last year and the debris hadn’t been picked up since.

Deep diving and Reflexions as a gas-guard: The Director wanted the obligatory underwater teen sexual encounter for this sort of video and since Gigi has had sex with Adolph several times and enjoyed him being rough with her we figured why not give her two bites of the apple and let her experience his style of lovemaking at 6 atmospheres and she was enthusiastic about the opportunity. She would wear her Reflexions gas-guard since 200 feet below the surface is no place for something to go wrong during sex. Returning readers will remember that the Reflexions flat spring diaphragm is the only style that can safely protect a diver below 10 meters (30 feet) since the rims of other styles will distort and cause leakage at depths below 30 feet. That isn’t usually a problem because there are so few training facilities deeper than 30 feet, but in my 68 ft deep pool and Adolph’s 216 ft deep facility Ortho or Milex diaphragms are useless below 30 feet. Of course an embolism is an embolism and is either extremely serious or fatal. It’s bad enough if an air bubble is forced into the vagina in water at any depth, but the deeper the woman is when that happens the larger the bubble becomes as it expands during her ascent. So if a woman’s gas-guard failed at a depth of 200 feet the bubble would expand to 5 times its size when it entered her bloodstream by the time she reached the surface, almost certainly assuring her death.

Adolph and contraception: Adolph is a very dangerous man for a woman to have sex with if she is serious about avoiding pregnancy. One of his favorite tricks is to provide ‘vitamin supplement’ pills to the female students sent to him for training. This supplement has a progestin receptor blocker in it that makes the woman’s hormonal birth control worthless. There is some initial withdrawal bleeding as her body adjusts to the lack of a continuous level of progestin which he explains away by saying it’s a side effect of altitude diving – his facility is 3,000 feet above sea level – and the extreme depth of his training facility. Not even women with traditional IUDs (Mirena and ParaGard) are safe because he will try to pull them out by the strings during a training exercise. While the wearer is menstrual, when her cervix is low and soft, she will rarely feel it being removed. That’s more difficult to do with a woman who has a Mirena inserted because 20% of them stop bleeding completely, but if he can reach the strings he can pull it out.

With the young ones who have recently had IUDs inserted it’s relatively easy for him to do and he’s getting better at it with practice. Adolph says that getting a trainee pregnant, even after the pregnancy is terminated, gives him a powerful psychological hold over her that no other domination technique will since she has experienced his ability to tamper with her reproductive biology which most young Subs don’t realize is possible until it happens to them. Most trainees he impregnates say that while they feel violated they find themselves bonding very closely with him. Perhaps that’s a little known aspect of the Stockholm Syndrome. In recent months he has had about a 20% pregnancy rate with the women sent to him for training. When they test positive He will send them to the casino’s reproductive health clinic for menstrual extractions which are much quicker and more effective than taking Mifeprex. The only IUD that Adolph hasn’t yet tampered with is the GyneFix which has no strings and which is implanted deep in the muscle of the fundus. Although, there have been GyneFix expulsions during intense cervical thrusting encounters that caused severe uterine cramping. The expulsions are thought to be because the device was improperly implanted. GyneFix expulsions have diminished almost to zero since new implantation techniques were developed several years ago.

Gigi has a GyneFix implanted so as far as pregnancy is concerned she is as safe as possible. And, Adolph agreed to leave her Reflexions gas-guard in place, which I insist on when he has underwater penetrative sex with me or any of the women in my inner circle. Even so, I went to the bottom of the well with Gigi, Adolph and the video crew breathing Trimix just to make certain he didn’t compromise her upper reproductive tract protection. The water is a constant 85° F and it took us a while to descend all the way to the bottom at 216 feet as we manipulated our masks to equalize the pressure. We all wore string bikinis weight belts and flippers – including the camera crew - except Adolph who was in a Slingshot. We used Adolph’s deep dive gear. Ocean Technologies Guardian FFMs equipped for Trimix and a Trimix blend of 19/30 in Worthington HP steel X8-130 twin sets with a tank cluster of 100% oxygen pre-positioned at our 40 ft. deco stop accessed by a quick disconnect to a gas block switch worn on the tank harness waist belt.

FFMs for deep dives: The importance of a using an FFM for deep dives and dive-sex can’t be overemphasized. For dive-sex if it gets rough for the woman having her cervix rammed can cause her to expel her reg at best that interrupts the moment. At worst she ingests enough water that she needs to terminate the dive. The other reason a FFM is so important is in case of decompression sickness (DCS) or oxygen toxicity where the diver might pass out or have a seizure and expel his/her regulator and it may be impossible for a dive buddy to get the reg back in his/her mouth. That is a very common cause of dive fatalities especially where the ascent will take too long for there to be a reasonable chance of survival w/o being able to breathe. The only down-side to using FFMs during dive-sex is that it’s impractical to give cunilingus or fellatio while using one.

We didn’t dive for two days before the 6 ATA dive to minimize our nitrogen loading so we could stay down as long as possible and we took a Divemaster who was responsible for the dive safety of all the divers so we could pay attention to what was happening as far as the video storyline and the cleanup were concerned. On the bottom Gigi shed her fins, weight-belt and tanks (which she kept right beside her) and straddled Adolph who was on his back lying comfortably on the padded twin-set tank harness while the tanks were broad enough to provide a stable base for a penetrative encounter. She helped him out of his cup and he was already massively erect. She checked the position of her gas-guard and her lube, nodded and lowered herself onto his erection and gasped when he entered her.

We had talked about how she should take him before the dive and she followed my suggestion. She wrapped her legs around his hips and tightening her legs pulled herself further on to his shaft a bit at a time until he was fully inside her. She said later that she was afraid he would be able to hit her cervix, but she has been thinking how much fun it would be getting pumped full of highly motile German sperm 200 feet below the surface and had psyched her self into nearly full arousal while we were still descending. Once she found he wasn’t able to hurt her she bore down forcing her cervix to push against the tip of his shaft through the stretchy latex membrane of her gas-guard – just to show him he was very close, but unable to reach her prize on his own. With her strong vaginal muscles she was able give herself G-spot orgasms and get them both off several times while the camera crew was recording the encounter. I’ve rarely seen Adolph as exhausted after a sexual encounter, but Gigi tired him out which she and I were very pleased about because shortly after she pulled herself off him he started his ascent leaving us to collect the contraceptive and BDSM debris off the bottom and the camera crew to record it for a ‘behind the scenes’ segment for the blue-tooth version of the video.

From the Number and type contraceptive products we found it seems clear that women being sent for training at a facility deeper than 30 feet are still not being told that if a diaphragm was to be used for training only a Reflexions flat spring latex diaphragm would provide under-thrust and distortion free protection down to at least 200 feet. I’ve told Adolph I would check the fit of his trainees gas-guards and give them a Reflexions to properly protect themselves (Adolph has an account with our clinic), but he seems to like to let most of the women take their chances, knowing any gas-guard other than Reflexions, or a FemCap, used below 30 feet will be ineffective. The only positive thing in this last inventory is that no GyneFix implants totally dislodged while their wearer’s were in the water.

Bottom sweep conclusions: As before the previous bottom sweep inventory all the women sent for training in the past 5 months are adults, tall, beautiful and slim. Therefore, it seems likely that the 65 mm silicone All-Flex devices were too small (under-sizing is a common mistake made by inexperienced fitters) making them easier to dislodge and expel. The number of full lube and spermicide applicators on the bottom suggests that the women were nervous about being in training and not confident about the use of vaginal applicators. Additionally, a lot of their diaphragms or caps are being either expelled or intentionally pulled out by their partner/instructors. That being the case one hopes they are being removed after providing protection as gas-guards during dive-sex since upper reproductive tract protection from a pelvic infection by pool water or an embolism is vital to the woman’s safety.

A contraception failure is a different matter entirely since it can be taken care of easily with emergency contraception especially since Ella is now available in the U.S. And pregnancy at least through the 8th week with Mifeprex or later by vacuum extraction so while it might put the woman in a moral quandary she has options readily available. That isn’t the case if she gets an embolism because her gas guard was pulled out during dive-sex before she was penetrated or it was under-thrust.

The ascent: After we cleaned up the bottom our ascent was uneventful. During our 20 minute deco stop at 40 feet breathing O2 the camera crew and I all masturbated to take care of our arousal from watching Gigi and Adolph fuck each other’s brains out. Gigi really enjoyed her encounter with Adolph because of the depth at which it occurred – she found breathing Trimix ‘awesome’ - and because he let her be in charge and she loved that from a man who can be so demanding and brutal most of the time. We both knew he was doing that for the camera and she probably won’t find him that easy to control again.

Sounds and scents of rubber sex

Interspiro FFM showing adaptor plate, beneath ONU, where twin-hose reg is mounted

The Neo-Queens of neoprene: We are offering a two day course for escorts on SCUBA wearing for surface sex and the first eight classes are fully booked. It’s sort of a reverse strip in rubber and among the rubber fetish community it is becoming increasingly popular. We are teaching the girls how to get the most sound and scent from their equipment. Neoprene and latex - while both rubbery materials - sound and smell differently and have different stretchiness depending on thickness and purity of the materials. By far the most common rubber suits are the ubiquitous neoprene wetsuits. Latex wetsuits are far rarer and far more costly and are sold as fetishwear rather than sports equipment because there is almost no thermal protection when wearing latex vs. neoprene. We teach the girls how to tease by lingering over the pulling on of neoprene tights and then working the toes and feet into rubber booties and pulling the stretchy bootie shafts over the ankle cuffs of the tights with the creak and squeal of friction from dry tight rubber surfaces rubbing and the snap of contracting rubber-on-rubber when the seals close as the booties and gloves are pulled on. And, for the couples really into rubber lust the woman will wear a ripe Reflexions latex gas guard so her lover can smell its musky stench and watch her insert it.

New fetish booties: Gepetto has designed optional footwear for women in the rubber fetish community who can wear pointe shoes. It is the pool-pointe bootie, a pool-pointe with a bootie top. Returning readers remember that pool-pointes are silicone rubber pointe shoes with a blocked toe-box and unbreakable carbon fiber shank and Velcro closures on the ribbons. And, lead weights can be added on the platforms to hold the wearer on the bottom of a pool. The inside of the toe-box is heavily padded so no taping or padding is needed so they can be worn out of the water. Once the toes are seated in the toe-box the wearer points her foot, puts weight on the platform and pulls the stretchy bootie shaft over the ankle cuff of the neoprene or latex tights. Grippers on the inside of the bootie shafts hold the tension on the toe-box holding it securely on the foot. Putting on the hood with its long shoulder skirt is another opportunity to tease putting up our long hair, pulling the hood over the head, pushing loose strands of hair back under the hood and adjusting the skirt over the shoulders and tops of swelling breasts. Then pulling on the zip front jacket with the double-ended zip pulls, so the client/lover can get to the girls breasts and crotch, and zipping up the wrist and ankle seals. We recommend using Interspiro FFMs [shown in the image accompanying this entry] modified to take a Mistral twin hose regulators so the couple can get close face-to-face w/o having single hose regs sticking so far out front. Twin-hose regs are also handy in case the encounter leads to dive-sex since the exhaled air is vented out of the reg housing on the top of the tank leaving visibility excellent between the girl and her lover.

Sensual attraction: Both men and women seem to be attracted by the sounds and scents of sex in rubber both while on the surface and during dive-sex. The hiss of air being sucked through the demand valve and again on exhaling (this is especially true when using a twin-hose reg), and the burble of bubbles as the air from exhalations rushes toward the surface. On the surface the creak of neoprene as weight is shifted from one leg to the other and air tanks are adjusted and the creak of the pool-pointes as the woman’s weight shifts while en pointe flexing the shanks. I love the compression, the zip and creak of the straps on my five strap spider FFM head-harness as they are tightened seating the seal against my cheeks clamping my nose and mouth in the rubbery scented oral-nasal unit of my Interspiro FFM, used with a Mistral twin-hose. And the ever present scent of my own estrogenic sweat as I pull on my rubber suit teasing my lover into arousal and then sweating, panting and mewing into my ONU during my own arousal and the marvelous escape to an exquisite explosive vaginal orgasm. It’s a sensuous bouquet of scents, sights and sounds guaranteed to arouse the most jaded rubber Dom.

My alibi for missing Astor Courts - continued: I keep forgetting that readers don’t follow my cycle to know when I’m menstrual. Well, except the reader (You know who you are!) who charts my cycle as closely as I do, but on his own calendar. I think that’s so sweet! Go figure! I was CD2 on July 31st, when Chelsea and Marc were married and if I had been traveling then I would have been traveling with a Milex Omniflex inserted for flow control. No big thing, but I prefer to travel with an Oves sucking on my cervix. I think that’s a psychological hang-up, a holdover from when I flew commercial and had to go through scanners that picked up the metal spring rim of my diaphragms and I had to explain that to the TSA agents. Sigh!

I know I would have tried to be on my best behavior while wearing a diaphragm at the wedding, but it could have been a bit touchy. That’s because I could have met someone who was really happy to see me and while the dome collects flow amazingly well the dynamics of a thrusting penis against the dome will cause the rim to flex, which it should. But what that means is that when the rim flexes it leaves a thin coating of blood on the vaginal wall that will coat a partner’s shaft. So, if he isn’t very careful a partner could get a little blood on his trousers. Even if he was wearing a root boot he would need to take care stripping it off afterward. That would have really been a bummer if he was a member of the wedding party, especially if his wife found a stain. Well, it didn’t happen! I’m told that everything went very well for the entire weekend at Rhinebeck. Chelsea was very smart not to have invited me.

Dive-sex collateral damage: We are starting to see cases of teens wearing their Mom’s diaphragms dry (with no spermicide) for dive-sex. That’s good news and bad news. It’s good that teens recognize they need to use a gas guard, but it’s bad to use someone else’s GG without being fitted so you know the device is the correct size. That’s a problem because with a gas guard that is too small a partner can push his way under the rim and leave semen in the dome. If that happens and she conceives the unintended pregnancy can be taken care of relatively easily. However, with a penis thrusting under the dome the gas guard is no longer protecting her from the possibly fatal side effects from penetration of the upper reproductive by air bubbles or pool water caused by the hydraulics of her partners thrusting. That can cause an embolism from gas bubbles or infection from pool bacteria. I keep stressing to my students the need to wear a correctly fitted gas guard, preferably a Reflexions flat spring diaphragm or a cervical cap during dive-sex to be as safe as possible.

Cyndi’s cycle

5 minute results serum pregnancy test

Cyndi’s cycle: Well, it’s Friday July 30th and cycle day one (CD1) for me and most of my circle whose cycles are synched to mine. Returning readers may remember that almost all the women who train with me and who are cycling naturally found that their menstrual cycles almost always are synched to mine because of the pheromones from training and sweating in close proximity to each other so much of the time.

You remember that because Cyndi became infatuated with Freddy, (the Austrian dancer who was one of Natasha’s lovers and who I hired to partner Natasha while she is dancing at the High-rollers club) she thinks he impregnated her as he had so many of the dancers he was intimate with in various European ballet companies. The fact that Cyndi has a GyneFix IUD inserted so it is nearly impossible for her to become pregnant didn’t lessen the certainty of her belief that she would miss her period this cycle and test positive for the pregnancy hormone, hCG.

I took her to the clinic the first of this week for a serum pregnancy test which is far more sensitive than the First Response HPTs she had been using and there was no trace of hCG, but she was still skeptical. She could have gone alone, but I wanted to show my support whichever way the test went. At this point I’m not sure if she really wanted to be carrying Freddy’s baby or if she is laying a guilt trip on herself. She had been feeling pre-menstrual for the last several days with the normal accumulation of fluid prior to the start of menstrual bleeding and she interpreted that as very early signs of pregnancy, which would be extremely rare.

As I mentioned earlier the women in my circle who are cycling naturally are in synchrony with my cycle and nearly all of us (including Cyndi) started spotting yesterday and switched to wearing diaphragms/gas guards or menstrual cups for flow control. Cyndi began flowing normally last night so she is definitely not preggers and now seems to have accepted that fact and I think she is happy with that outcome.

Menstrual sex and gas guards: A lot of our men (especially European and Asian clients) love it when we are menstrual because they like to play in our bloody discharge. You’ll remember that when menstrual the only effective upper reproductive tract protection from embolisms and infection from pool water during deep dive sex - at depths below 10 meters - while menstruating is the Reflexions flat spring latex diaphragm. When not menstrual an Oves cap is the best gas guard (if a women can be correctly fitted with it) because of its small size, but an Oves or FemCap can’t be worn when menstrual because the flow would float the cap off the cervix and allow gas bubbles or pool water to pass into the uterus. So when menstrual we all use Reflexions latex gas guards to make things simpler; if a girl has an opportunity to dive deeper that ten meters she doesn’t have to switch from an arcing or coils spring rim to a flat spring Reflexions to be fully protected. Women who have GyneFix IUDs inserted or have cycles of 28 days or longer (so there is no chance of ovulating while menstrual) can safely remove their gas guards while menstrual if not planning to have sex underwater. That is such a popular option – to go with the flow - for escorts or courtesans since so many of our lovers enjoy the scent, taste, feel and look of bloody discharge during menstrual sex.

A reader asks: “Can you pump pure oxygen into the uterus?” OMG! Yes, you can, but why would you? Gas in the uterus will kill the woman! And it doesn’t have to be done with pure oxygen, any gas will do. We recently found that was used to off a Russian courtesan who specialized in dive sex while she was visiting friends in town. It’s a popular option for a professional hit since it is a fast and clean way to snuff a chick during a dive. You don’t even have to remove her gas guard- unless she has an Oves sucking on her cervix because Oves is the only gas guard that will protect the upper reproductive tract while being bubble fucked -.just insert a bubble-fuck reg and depress the purge button. I think the snuff video purists like to see the girl spasm during a heart attack. With a stroke there is usually a lot less action because the woman is paralyzed and drowns or suffocates quickly. So the videos of the heart attack victims writhing in pain in dive gear are much more eagerly sought after. For more about bubble-fucking see my entry for August 16, 2009

If a bubble-fuck regulator isn’t available you can make a surface apparatus by rigging up a cannula to a demand valve on one end and menstrual cup on the other. The Menstrual cup (A Diva or a Moon Cup) is inserted in the woman’s vagina and fitted over her cervix. Pressure from the cannula holds the cup in place. The purge button on the reg is depressed sending a surge of compressed gas into the wearer’s uterus where it will enter the bloodstream and cause an embolism that will cause a massive stroke or heart attack just as though she was underwater. Compressed air inserted in the uterus leaves no external marks on the body so at first it appears the woman died of natural causes.

IUDs, NuvaRing & asphyxia

A ParaGard Copper T 380A IUD

A reader asked: “Can IUD strings cause air embolisms?” The answer is that the strings themselves can’t cause an embolism. However, they can make it more difficult for the wearer to protect herself from the possibility that an embolism could occur. That’s because the strings can interfere with the seal of any gas guard she may wear to protect her upper reproductive tract from having fluids and gasses forced into her cervix during BDSM play or dive-sex.

Commercially available IUDs with frames such as the ParaGard, that uses copper as the spermicidal element or the Mirena, that uses the continuous release of a tiny amount of progestin to suppress ovulation, both have strings which the wearer uses to periodically check the position of the device to make sure it is where it is supposed to be. These IUDs are not suitable for a woman who is into pussy-play and dive-sex, especially the dive-sex variant, ‘vaginal breathing’ where a modified mouthpiece of a single-hose regulator (a VDV or vaginal demand valve) is inserted in the vagina and the wearer operates the demand valve with her vaginal muscles. [For more about vaginal breathing orgasms see my entry for October 4, 2009.] In my opinion any woman who would participate in a vaginal breathing encounter while she has an IUD with strings inserted is playing Russian roulette.

An asphyxia Accident: another accident Taryn and I recently tided up after was an ‘accidental’ death by suffocation or a gassing. With that sort of thing it is usually impossible to prove that it was anything other than an accident. In many cases it could be that the equipment was used incorrectly while soloing or his (or her) partner used a bit too much pressure or left the wearer w/o air for a bit too long which resulted in irreversible brain damage or death. Most of the accidents happen to women - almost certainly while participating in some male fantasy - but this one was a young man in his early 20s and he was in great physical shape. He was beautiful and nude and lying on his bed wearing only a latex hood that had sound deadening cups over the ears and a Mestel 400 gasmask that had a 3 liter black latex rebreather bag screwed into the canister port. When I pulled his mask off it was clear that his death wasn’t totally accidental. That’s because there was still the slightest sweet scent of chloroform in the oral nasal unit and the valve on the rebreather bag was closed. All sorts of gasses and stimulants are commonly inserted into gasmasks through the drinking port so that’s probably how the chloroform was administered. There was no bottle, syringe or other container for the chloroform anywhere in the victim’s apartment. That suggests the anesthetic was administered by someone who left the victim unconscious to suffocate from the buildup of CO2 in the mask because the valve on the rebreather was closed. He must have been using a performance enhancer and developed Priapism because he still had his hand on his penis which was massively erect – with dried semen splattered on his flat belly and chest - and he had been dead for hours when we arrived to tidy up. At first I thought he was wearing a cock-ring but he wasn’t, his erection was naturally huge!

I’m guessing it might have been a girlfriend who offed him after she found him cheating on her. Or perhaps she just wanted him to nap a while and if she was new to the breath play scene perhaps she forgot to open the valve on his rebreather. With his hearing blocked, if he had his eyes closed while masturbating she could have slipped up and inserted the chloroform into his masks drinking port while he was gasping for air during orgasm. Done while he was orgasmic his slipping into unconsciousness would have been almost instantaneous. I really wanted to straddle him and ride his rod because I’ve never fucked a dead man, but not knowing his sexual history even if I used an FC-2 to take him I decided it wasn’t worth the chance of an incurable infection. Dressed in Co-Op housekeeper’s uniforms we rolled him into a latex body-bag and took him out in a laundry cart.

NuvaRing and a rare case of Nymphomania: One of Cyndi’s friends attending a local public high school has recently switched to NuvaRing as her hormonal contraceptive. She was on Mircette which uses Desogestrel, a fourth generation progestin, in a dosing regimen of: 0.15mg DS, 20mcg EE for 21 days, 10mcg only 5 days. She decided to switch to NuvaRing because she wanted a simpler dosing regimen. NuvaRing uses etonogestrel, the first metabolite of Desogestrel so it’s basically the same progestin she was on when taking Mircette but since the hormones are absorbed continuously and transdermally the NuvaRing dosing regimen is: 0.12mg of etonogestrel, and 15mcg of EE per day for 21 or 28 days. The ring is inserted for three weeks and then removed for one for the user’s ring-period. If she needs to move her period the ring can be left in continuously for up to 28 days with no decrease in effectiveness. So as a hormonal method NuvaRing has a lot of advantages over pills.

Cyndi’s friend has been on the Ring for three cycles now and her libido had increased dramatically. Increased libido can sometimes happen but usually if there are libido issues it is often a major decrease in sex drive so she is pretty happy as is her boyfriend who has been getting a lot more action in the last several months. The girl is a ballet student like Cyndi – they met at a local competition – and is in great shape and Cindy says her friend’s vaginal grip is quite strong, which is what she is hearing from her boyfriends, but since she has taken pointe for years that is a common side effect just as callused toes are. The problem Cyndi’s friend has with NuvaRing is that her partner is so large that he can hook the ring and pull it out. The ring can be removed for three hours at a time w/o decreasing it’s effectiveness so what she started doing is removing the ring before sex and reinserting afterward. That worked as long as she remembered to reinsert after sex, but remembering has become a problem and this week she missed her ring period and tested positive for hCG, the pregnancy hormone. So Cyndi is bringing her in for a menstrual extraction tomorrow and no one will be the wiser. Cyndi suggested that she see if she can get an Implanon implant which also uses the progestin etonogestrel and is good for three years so she won’t have to worry about remembering anything.

Dangerous insertables

Gasmask rebreather with inflatable penis-gag

Dangerous BDSM and sex toys: Maybe I shouldn’t bother about this because all the players SHOULD know that BDSM, Breath and sex play can be dangerous, but girls and young women are being introduced to the lifestyle all the time with no warning about the risks. I’m not talking about rebreather bags valves that in a panic a user may forget how to open, or poorly made ballet boots which provide no support so a novice breaks an ankle the first time s/he stands up in them. I’m talking about pneumatic toys like inflatable penis-gags or dildos, which if they burst can send bits of latex down the wearer’s throat and choke her or if a dildo bursts while inserted and the woman isn’t wearing a gas guard she is quite likely to have an embolism that will cripple or kill her. It would be bad enough if this was occurring only to men, but women are the ones primarily injured by this sort of accident because we are almost always the submissives and the ones in bondage. In the hands of an inexperienced Dom or Domme a hand pumped inflatable gag or dildo can be just as dangerous to the sub wearing it as if s/he were being held at gunpoint. The only thing lacking at gunpoint is the surprise when the inflatable toy bursts. There have been a lot of girl-girl accidents where a high school Domme doesn’t know when to stop inflating her sub’s dildo and if the sub is lucky she just tears. If she isn’t the dildo bursts and you sometimes get a dead or brain-dead 15 y/o at a slumber party. That sort of thing is really difficult to explain to her parents. One of the first things I tell my students at St Lucy’s is don’t insert inflatables into any body cavity!

It’s gotten so that hand pumped dildos are almost standard penetration devices in BDSM play here. Every woman doing BDSM solo or with another BDSM fetishist should protect herself by being fitted for and wearing a gas guard. I don’t think the on-line custom latex shops that make the custom latex enclosure suits and inflatable gags and dildos warn their customers about the dangers bursting compressed air toys represent when worn internally, down the throat or in the vagina or anus. With an experienced partner enclosure suits, rebreather masks, gags and dildos can be amazingly erotic, but use and misuse of poor quality inflatable insertables can be tragic.

the vaginal rubber fetish

Vaginal rubber, a latex Ortho All-Flex diaphragm

Vaginal rubber: The local rubber fetish community has finally begun to recognize latex cervical barriers as a necessary part of a woman being properly dressed in total rubber for thrust encounters in rubber clubs. That epiphany has resulted in a recent increase in the number of women coming in to the clinic to be fitted for diaphragms. I had been telling them about the need to wear a silicone caps (a strapless FemCap) as a safety precaution for at least a year after an influential Dom began using pressurized CO2 gas as punishment to keep his rubber-chicks in-line and other Doms began to follow his example. A jet of gas through a douche bag nozzle into a girl’s gasmask drinking port, down her open neck zipper into her cleavage or having her bend over to be penetrated and filling her vagina with gas can cause frostbite to sensitive tissues, or worse gassing a girl’s vagina can result in the rubber-chick dying from an embolism, unless she has an effective gas guard inserted.

Not surprisingly, my arguments about protecting the women’s safety had no effect on Doms providing their rubber-subs with gas guards. And now having the girls fitted with latex diaphragms (as they are currently still doing) offers almost no protection against CO2 gas in the vagina. That’s because if the gas gun has no warming baffle (and many don’t) and the gas is released in a sustained jet it cools the soft rubber dome to a temperature where the rubber will become brittle and shatter and pressurized gas can pass through the cervix to the uterus where it can easily enter the woman’s bloodstream. The only cervical barrier that can withstand even short duration jets of cold gas is the thicker silicone FemCap and as I mentioned FemCaps or even silicone rubber diaphragms aren’t what the Doms are having their girls fitted with. The men want the girls wearing latex diaphragms because they have found the latex transfers heat better than silicone of a similar thickness, but most of all because a latex dome is much more stretchy when rammed by a thrusting penis, which some Rubber Doms are calling ‘caressing the rubber wall’.

Velvet latex: Gepetto’s sex-device shop has been working for some time to enhance a man’s experience when he is ‘caressing the rubber wall’ by increasing the friction of the soft latex dome of a diaphragm (also known as a sports shield or gas guard) when the glans of an erect penis is rubbed against it. The shop had tried a lot of different formulations to increase the ‘tooth’ of the surface of natural rubber to simulate the short dense pile of velvet. Some formulations worked for short periods of time, but the tooth or pile was so delicate that it rubbed off after being used for a few acts of intercourse so the dome lost it’s effectiveness as a male experience enhancer. Worse however was that it left the wearer with microscopic bits of latex in her vagina which when mixed with the woman’s natural secretions over an interval of several days creates a funky vaginal odor similar to what occurs after forgetting and leaving a latex diaphragm inserted too long.

Recently Gepetto has been experimenting with a new formulation of latex created by Jeff’s labs, to develop an enhanced experience diaphragm. After dipping the rim in liquid latex the finishing process subjects the outer surface of the dome to a gas which causes it to foam with a uniform surface of millions of microscopic bubbles which when dry establish a very tight molecular bond providing a strong soft surface that simulates the feel of velvet while being difficult to wear through. The latex quickly reaches body temperature so there is no decrease in heat transfer and there is no decrease in elasticity if properly cared for. The latex is still sensitive to extremes of heat and cold and easily deteriorated by oily substances, but Pirate, Robin, and the other men who have been trialing the few made for testing purposes (Anya, Taryn and I are the only women involved in testing because of the potential value of the new device) say they provide an amazing enhancement to a man’s pleasure by the way the bubbled surface of the stretchy latex caresses the heads of their penises. The working name for the project is ‘Bubble Wrap’ but marketing wants to call the line Vaginal Velvet.

Gepetto’s shop is now starting to test a similar product which is gas treated on both the inside as well as the outside of the dome. Treating the inside gives the woman the same caress enhancement sensation against her vaginal walls, especially for the erectile tissue of her G-spot. With a diaphragm inserted I can’t use the full strength of my vaginal muscles to grip my partner’s shaft because the spring rim absorbs some of it but the double velvet diaphragm I’m testing now (I’m the only woman so far) takes me to orgasm unbelievably fast (in less than 10 minutes when I’m Luteal) and that’s amazing because today I’m CD20 and in my Luteal phase. When I’m being taken bareback by a lover who knows how to light my fire it will typically take at least 15 minutes after penetration when I’m fertile and when I’m luteal (like now) 25 minutes to get me to a G-spot orgasm. I was just given the first one to test so I don’t know just yet how quickly I will orgasm with it when I’m fertile. I think Vaginal Velvet could be a huge seller if Gepetto decides to go commercial with it. Right now he sees the market for Vaginal Velvet devices as being primarily for professional escorts who want to offer their rubber-stud clients an exceptionally intense experience w/o requiring them to ingest or wear anything themselves.

Contraceptives as Fetishes: Readers of this blog know that I have a number of fetishes. The main ones are: Pointe shoes, Diaphragms and cervical caps, especially the Oves cap. People don’t usually think of women as having fetishes, they are far more likely to be a male thing, but with contraceptives: hormonal methods pills, patch, ring or shot; IUDs and cervical barriers making the hormonal method or device you are fitted with a fetish can increase a woman’s desire as well as the effectiveness of the method. That’s because a fetish object is far more likely to be used correctly and used every time than one that doesn’t have the user’s interest level that a fetish object does. I don’t specifically talk about contraceptives as fetish objects to my escort candidates or St Lucy’s students, but getting them to equate the contraceptive they are using with pleasure and safety can, over time, reinforce a fetish-like desire for disciplined use of the method.

This can be problematic when a woman is just starting on pharmaceuticals and she hasn’t found the hormone mix or delivery method right for her. For example; where the patch (Ortho Evra) can come unstuck and fall off or develop sores underneath, or pills where the type and amount of hormones will cause nausea, swollen and sore breasts, or a copper frame IUD can cause heavy bleeding and these side effects can be a huge turnoff so it is very important to find an effective method that works well for you as soon as possible before contraceptives become a turn-off. Once a woman has an effective method that fits her lifestyle then elevating it to the status of a fetish so she wants and needs to use it correctly is a very good thing.

I’ve found that focusing on the pleasure of wearing rubber inserted in the vagina is particularly effective with the women who need motivating most, the ones who are most likely to be non-compliant, not inserting correctly or using their barrier for every act of intercourse. This is especially true of divers who have a GyneFix IUD implanted so have little concern about pregnancy. Of course the problem for divers with a GyneFix inserted isn’t pregnancy but pelvic inflammatory disease (PID which can cause sterility by scaring a woman’s tubes) or an embolism from having air forced into the uterus by the hydraulics of male thrusting under water, which is why it is so important for divers interested in dive-sex to be compliant in wearing vaginal rubber.
