Pussy hooks - the pros and cons

A new St Lucy’s instructor being fitted for a pussy hook

The Photo: You know she’s an instructor because her pubes aren’t waxed. 4^th year ballet students and some new professors (If they teach sexuality) at St Lucy’s get fitted for pussy hooks and Labia leashes at our casino’s bondage boutique, Fasteners, before taking my class ‘Submissive Behavior in a D/s Relationships’.

 

 

 



Pictured above is a 1.0 inch diameter stainless steel vaginal hook similar to the one being worn in the top photo so the reader can get an idea of its size. It’s a standard training aid - because of the danger of wearing it it’s used primarily as an example of male misogyny - in my class: Submissive Behavior in D/s Relationships. Even so Students love to pose for selfies with this size hook inserted.

 

This particular size and design is not really a toy though many women like having one amongst their toys and posing for selfies with it inserted to stimulate the interest of the Dom they are interested in serving or are collared to. It was made to hold the woman while she is suspended from her pelvic bone. Of course being hung like that results in the hook tearing through the vaginal wall and bladder or uterus. The pelvis almost always separates at the symphysis – except for a few of the smallest lightest women - which results in the hook tearing out dropping her fatally injured on the dungeon floor.

Small stainless steel pussy hook with 1.5 inch terminal ball

For D/s play a much smaller and lighter stainless steel hook (see photo #3 above) is used and the leash is looped through the ring on the Subs collar so she can be lead around w/o much likelihood of physical damage to the delicate tissue of her reproductive tract.

Pussy hooks; the good and bad: There is very little upside for the wearer of a pussy hook and the possibility of a lot of downside damage. Of course only the psychotic ever willingly attempt being hung by it. Being hung from an industrial vaginal hook often ends in death. If found in time her reproductive tract might be repaired, but the psychological damage to her Chi and libido is usually permanent in the few cases I’m aware of where the woman was left hanging from a pussy hook and survived.

The only good thing might be the eroticism of wearing a light weight vaginal hook to a dress-up vanilla party for the shock value or wearing it under street clothes fastened securely to a sanitary pad belt or a decorative waist chain. But for that sort of turn-on I think loose stainless steel or Pyrex Ben Wa balls would be better and more comfy. Of course for some masochists the hooks shape, size and discomfort are part of its attraction. A nice thing about this light weight surgical stainless steel hook is that the ball terminal allows it to be worn with a diaphragm w/o fear of the end puncturing the dome.

Readers who look this item up on the Internet will find it often offered as an anal hook. My escorts and St Lucy’s girls like training with it as a vaginal hook. However, a wearer of even a light weight ball terminal hook needs to be careful the hook leash looped through her collar ring isn’t jerked too hard as that can crush delicate vestibular tissue and pinch or crush her clitoris when pulled by a mischievous or misogynistic male.

NFL Super Bowl XLVIII: In case someone just landed from outer space, the Seattle Seahawks play the Denver Broncos on Sunday February 2, 2014 in the open air MetLife Stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30pm EST. I don’t really have a favorite. I’ve lived in the San Francisco area and it’s beautiful and I danced in Oakland. Even so, I’m sort of leaning toward Denver. Readers who have been with me since my days posting on Yahoo may remember why.

Since I’ve been busy and out of the country for most of the last few weeks Adolph is hosting our Super Bowl party this year during which his deep dive training facility, ‘The Well’ will be available for SCUBA play and the multi-bed hyperbaric chamber will be available if needed. I’m pleased that I can kick back and let go at one of these parties and not have to play hostess. I’m taking my SCUBA gear as I’m expecting to be asked for dive-sex.

Our return home from Davos: Our return was uneventful. We stopped briefly at Stansted airport (STN) north of London to drop off Fiona and Maj. Tree so they can report to Whitehall in person and to top off our tanks. I’m still using the loaned G650 as Limnaea II while my new one is being custom fitted out. I should be able to take delivery in a few weeks.

 

Training in ballet boots

Commercial lace-up ballet boots for clubbing

Yardley Flood: The twins and Cyndi have a boot trainer, Yardley Flood. Yardley came to us from the Corps of the Royal Ballet by way of Gepettos ballet boot cobbler shop. She is a knife-pointe fighting trainer and excels in working with young women to hone their skills to get the most from their talents. Yardley is helping me with our Sports Hostess training in addition to working with my girls while they learn all there is to know about sex and safety in ballet boots. While the girls won’t be wearing bladed heels or competing in KP-boot fights there are a lot of moves a KP fighter uses that can help an inexperienced woman stay safe when confronted by an experienced and aggressive ballet-boot wearer.

Boot shaft guards: Boot shaft guards are an important part of novice training in Gepetto’s boots. Shaft guards are thin titanium strips in the boot shafts on either side of the ankle to the top of the shaft and are standard in Gepettos ballet boots. Shaft guards minimize the likelihood of sprains and broken ankles in the case of novice wearers falling sideways off the heel due to lack of ankle strength. But more importantly they protect from very common and dangerous side kicks and heel punctures from aggressive competitors. It’s the typical sort of thing ballet boot wearer’s experience while clubbing as alcohol seems to make boot wearers more aggressive, especially to new women seen as competition in the clubs. The twins Chinese ID packages came yesterday so we are going to their first boot club, Naughty’s Boot Bar, this weekend.

Eternity collar and pussy hook: Odile was planning to lead Odette into the Boot Bar as a sleep walker wearing only ballet boots a nightie an eternity collar and pussy hook and see what sort of reaction they got. Fortunately wiser heads prevailed. If she had, would a man have taken Odette away from Odile or would a bull dyke have done it? I’m not sure leading Odette into the Boot Bar by a pussy hook wouldn’t be seen as provoking a riot, but it would have been interesting if I could have watched and not been invested in the outcome.  The twins would have been way over their heads with Odette being led around by a pussy hook even with both Yardley and me in bladed heels if those were needed to dampen some assertive customer’s ardor.  And after a fight the twins Chinese ID would have been very closely examined which could have been a problem.

I’m CD9 and fertile as are Cyndi, Odette and Odile at least for now as the twin’s cycles are still changing. But around me as much as they are and with all of us sweating from training intensely they may fall in sync with my cycle as I’m certainly the most dominant. Odile being fertile I think was the reason for her lack of caution when she decided on the eternity collar and pussy hook for Odette. Peaking hormones can cause us and especially the young to make very risky choices. New girls in the Boot Bar are always challenged by someone as there is a hierarchy in the patrons which seems to be a common thread among experienced and knowledgeable boot wearers and their partners.

Titanium alloy laces: Yardley suggested we all get slit-proof laces (she already had them) if I’m going to take the girls clubbing to boot clubs, which I should have thought of. So back Cyndi, the twins and I went to Gepettos to have the titanium laces fitted to our boots. They work with hook fasteners but rather than tying fit into small clamps at the front top of the shaft. The clamps are much easier to use than I expected and the added security of knowing an opponent won’t be able to slit your laces is a huge confidence builder even for someone as experienced as me.

Training with Yardley: Yardley will be trying to kick and puncture the twin’s boots with her heels during training to show them how even when solid platform kicks or heel punctures are attempted the shaft guards and mesh protect the wearer.  That training is hard on the outer finish of the boots, but it’s worthwhile as a confidence builder for the girls. I have already ordered two additional pairs for both Odette and Odile as they are wearing them so much that they need at least one other pair each to be able to let them dry between wearings. That will give them one pair for wearing in public and a second pair for training, because the training boots not only are sweat soaked after wearing but get scratched up very quickly.

Some important boot tricks:

• As with pointe shoes, keeping ones nails very short while wearing BBs is important. That’s because even though when properly laced most of the wearer’s weight is on her insteps, not toes if her laces are slit she can find her weight suddenly on her toes with almost no ankle support
• Learning to be careful while crossing your legs so as not to cut your leg or scratch up your own boots with the boot heel.
• Wear heavier denier and smaller hose to compress the feet when swollen from use or during menstruation.
• In a crowded bar or at a party, wear heel guards that will allow the tip of the heel to slide easily over the floors surface. Or, if you are in unguarded heels try to stand on hard surfaces. That way if you take a kick to the ankle the heel will slide with the energy of the kick. Otherwise, in unguarded heels with the tips buried in a carpet or soft wood floors the heel is trapped and won’t move with the energy of the kick and the energy will be transferred to the knee which might be damaged.
• Clean the boots with a toothbrush and Obenauf's Leather Oil to get the blood and coitial discharge off the boots and out of the laces. After a single treatment with Obenauf's semen, blood and vomit wipe right off. I think Obenauf's has a wonderfully male scent which I find erotic so my boots having a male scented oil on them can be a turn on, especially now when I’m fertile.

University Sports Hostesses: Most Colleges and Universities that have major sports teams (usually football and basketball) have a group of third and fourth year girls who work for the Athletic Department as Sports Hostesses. Sports Hostess act as guides around the campus when talent that coaches are recruiting visit the campus. Having a gorgeous 23 y/o knowledgeable about the recruit’s sport on what amounts to a weekend long date with a very obliging Hostess can be a major factor in getting a recruit to attend a particular school. We have a small but growing “Hostess school” where we train girls sent to us by their school’s athletic department to hone their seduction and contraception skills so they are able represent their school in the most effective way with the boys the coaches are trying to recruit. We like to think that a hostess graduating from our course will be able to lead her recruit around by an invisible penis leash. We even train Gay and Lesbian Hosts and Hostess if the university is recruiting a Gay or Lesbian recruit.

Being a Sports Hostess can be more dangerous than one of our elite escorts because for an escort we are almost always able to test for all STIs and refuse any client who tests positive. With a Sports Hostess She can use male or female condoms, but if he insists she’s almost always expected to take him bareback and swallow if he wants fellatio.  Most Sports Hostesses who come to us for training are on the pill. We try to get them to switch to a LARC method because being with an up-and-coming sports sensation can be very exciting for a college girl even if he is several tear younger and forgetting a pill or pills during a recruiting weekend on campus can end in pregnancy. Still, most decide not to switch to a LARC and over the 2012-13 recruiting season three of the hostess we trained had abortions because they forgot pills around recruiting weekends. I think hat’s rather depressing, but all you can do is present the facts and the girls must make up their own minds.

 

Cunt clamps, pussy hooks and eternity collars

Model in a Las Vegas C-string bridal gown

Cunt clamps at St Lucy’s: Cyndi was one of the first students at St Lucy’s to start wearing a C-string around the dorm as loungewear and for sunbathing to minimize tan lines. She began wearing a C-string at Splash where the senior Towel-Girls call them Cunt Clamps (it’s the alliteration I think) and use them as loungewear while they are between dive clients or training sessions so there is nothing to step out of or untie. Taryn wore one when she was at St Lucy’s several years ago, but it was under tights, leggings or a mini when she didn’t want to wear a Penetrator, but needed a vulva veil w/o panty lines. I thought the minders in Administration might say something, but if the wearer has been properly shaved or waxed and correctly fitted they are so tasteful that they serve the purpose of a stringless panty and since they reinforce a students confidence wearing a CC seems to have been accepted as part of the student’s intimate wardrobe.

As with cervical barriers not everyone who wants to wear a cunt clamp can pull it off as a prominent coccyx will make wearing it uncomfortable and interfere with the grip of the spring frame. And a toned pelvis and buttocks are a must for any girl brave enough to wear one. Even with the tightest pelvic anatomy taking ballet class in a C-string can be a perilous experience as sweat can cause the grip of the clamp to slip as will the shock when landing jumps. I prefer having a Penetrator plug inserted if I’m going to go minimal, but covered especially in class where I will be doing splits and jumps.

C-clamps (as Jack calls them) are particularly useful when a woman is on her period and has a menstrual cup or tampon inserted so a Penetrator can’t be effectively used. I’ve found them to be comfortable under a mini where I didn’t want panty lines. And a C-string with an embroidered applique on it will mask the line of a light days pad worn inside as back-up during heavy days. Taryn got reported last fall at Cambridge when she was walking across Great Court just before a rainstorm and her mid-calf slit skirt was caught in the wind and blown up around her head. She gathered it up in her arms w/o thinking and kept walking and unintentionally flashed everyone in the court with her C-string. When she was taken to task about what she had done she laughed which was the wrong thing to do as her advisor thought she wasn’t properly contrite, but she managed to calm the old fellow down. Being sent down from Cambridge for lewd behavior wasn’t likely, but her reputation for hosting wild parties wasn’t a plus in that instance.

Training Subs for Valentines Day: A few of the 4th year St Lucy’s ballet students have been chosen to appear as Submissives for the evening at a Valentines Day BDSM party at Adolph’s on Tuesday night. He will also have a few full figured professional escorts (provided by Pirate) but some of his European guests like younger girls and he likes to be able to quench their desire in that regard when possible. All the St Lucy’s girls are at least 18. The age of consent in Nevada is 16, but there are some catch-all clauses, for people in authority over women under 18 y/o, so it’s best to use 18 y/os and with shaved pubes, hard tight ballet bodies and small breasts some look far younger and young pussy is always in demand. I’m helping prepare the girls and they have been training since well before Christmas. It’s been difficult to get them used to compartmentalizing the mental and physical effort needed to prevent going rubber-legged and falling of pointe during ballet-sex so that they can enjoy the experience of being taken to orgasm by a skilled and important guest. But I think they all have the trick of compartmentalizing during sex down now.

In addition to the student’s ballet training I’ve been working with them on their physical (toe and upper reproductive tract) protection. What that involves is having several pairs of well fitting Gaynor Minden pointe-shoes with hard shanks for taking a guest while standing en pointe (ballet sex) as well as being fitted for a FemCap. All the ballet students take my Advanced Sexual Techniques course and working as Subs at parties is extra credit in that elective so they have properly fitted diaphragms and all the girls chosen have frameless and stringless GyneFix copper IUDs implanted so they are cycling naturally and the possibility of being impregnated is very unlikely.

However, some sort of cervical barrier is needed to prevent liquids; soda water, champagne, carbonated beverages etc from reaching the uterus when a bottle is shaken then the neck shoved up the girl’s vagina, which is something that frequently occurs at Adolph’s parties. I would prefer the girls wear latex flat spring diaphragms, but in this case that won’t work because all the Subs will have vaginal hooks inserted and chained to an eternity collar each will be wearing. A vaginal hook could puncture the dome of a diaphragm so it’s safer for the girls to wear well fitting FemCaps with the removal straps trimmed off.

Eternity Collars: As I mentioned all the St Lucy’s girls will be wearing Eternity Collars. Collars have varying degrees of social significance for people in the BDSM community. At Adolph’s parties it is understood by guests that any girls wearing titanium eternity collars are doing so simply to identify themselves as Submissives and not to signify any collared relationship with a dominant so guests know they are available to play with. The professional escorts will be wearing standard leather dog collars. Another student identifier, other than having a ballet body and looking very young is that the students will all be in Gaynor Minden pointe-shoes while the professionals will be in stilettos. I don’t expect any rivalry between the professionals and students since the professionals are getting above scale wages for a 24 hour period when they will be only working 12 or so hours even if they sleep-over with a guest.

Adolph is springing for the titanium eternity collars and Gepetto’s shop has fabricated them to his specifications and the neck diameters of the chosen girls. The collar is simply a .25 inch outer diameter length of round titanium rod fashioned to appear as an endless loop once the hidden clasp has been fastened. Then the only way to get it off is for it to be cut off with a metal saw. The loop has two one inch diameter interlocking rings one of which is slipped on to the collar before it’s fastened around the wearer’s neck so that she can be led on a leash or fastened to a wall or ceiling by a chain through the ring if she displeases her partner. That design proved to be difficult to work with as the titanium rod is so stiff that each girl had to go to Gepetto’s and insert her head into a matrix that bent the ends together to lock the collar around her neck.

It doesn’t make sense to me to spend that much money on a device that will be worn for only a few days and most of that for training and then destroyed while removing it when there are far less costly alternatives, but that’s the way Adolph is. The last of the St Lucy’s Valentines party girls were collared this afternoon and they will wear turtle neck sweaters, leotards or scarves around their necks for the next several days when they go out and to classes so their collars aren’t obvious though they are already the talk of the dorms and some of their younger friends are amazingly envious. Having them collared several days’ early gives me time so I can train them to walk confidently en pointe with their vaginal hooks inserted and connected to chain leashes run through the apparatus ring on their collars.

Fellatio, gags, gas masks and vaginal hooks

Model with a spider gag inserted

The Photo: This is such a great image with the saliva drooling out of the models mouth! And the ‘legs’ make the gag look a lot more dangerous than it really is. Adolph and his PR shop decided that this wasn’t the look that would attract sophisticated European women to The Lorelei. There is too much fear in the woman’s eyes to project languor and eroticism which is what he is selling. I think it is an image that appeals to the male slave-master and Adolph may use it if he advertises for Splash.

Gigi and other Towel Girls at splash already wear spider gags (which are premium items) and men will die for the opportunity to ejaculate down the throat of a young TG while she has a spider gag inserted. Actually one out-of-town client nearly did that several weeks ago when a local member sponsored him at Splash as a guest. He hadn’t been taking his heart pills while he had been playing the tables. He had been winning and was at splash with his sponsor to relax and spend some money on young girls so Gigi took him behind the Red Door and he had a heart attack while he was squirting semen down her throat. He is ok since the EMT techs on duty stabilized him and got him to the hospital very quickly. His wife was told that he was excited about winning at the tables. Gigi gave him the spider gag she was wearing as a souvenir.

Jack on ring gags and fellatio: “The ring gag shown will hardly accommodate most cocks (too small) and likely not feel especially good to those cocks passing through it. The concept is cute though... forcing the mouth open so that it must accept a cock. If the jaw cannot move and the lips can't suck, and play with the cock the experience is more a psychological one of using a mouth for a receptacle. Oral sex is often preferred because (wo)men have more skill and options of providing sensations with their mouths than their vaginas or anuses. Not all receptacles are created equally! Of course there is the tongue - vaginas, anuses and receptacles don't have articulating tongues. I doubt whether ring gag oral sex is actually practiced much. I think not. It makes for sexy photos. Like so much of fetish... sex is driven by fantasies which hardly match reality”.

My reply: Actually, there are different size gags. The size of the gag in the photo [For my entry of April 7, 2011 entitled The Spa at The Lorelei and Hoods] – like baby bear’s porridge - is just right for the couple using it. It’s wrapped with silicone tape and is used with a flavored water soluble lube so while it may appear snug for a well endowed stallion there are larger ones available. The model could have been posed with a much larger gag inserted, but keep in mind that pool of potential guests Adolph is targeting expect relative comfort at The Lorelei so an advert showing a model posed with a very large BDSM Ring Gag inserted just isn’t good PR. The idea is to sell prospective guests on kinkily erotic sex w/o too much discomfort involved. Of course guests may bring their own or specify a particular device if they wish.

Guests who are first time gag users are taught to caress their partner’s frenulum with their tongues so that their partners don’t have to do much, or any, thrusting and they can get him to ejaculate very quickly or make an individual encounter last as long as they want. This is particularly effective when a guest who adores the taste and the feel of semen sliding down her throat orders half a dozen or a dozen fellatio partners to be taken consecutively. She can specify the men’s diets so their semen tastes of alcohol or red meat or sweet by having a fellatio stallion eat pineapple, or, on a perverse note, some women even like a fellatio partner to eat asparagus before their fluid exchange.

Gas Masks and pussy hooks: I suppose it’s the ease of obtaining gasmasks and pussy hooks (with those a fetishist can make his own) as well as rubber and BDSM fetishists wanting to learn how my circle use them that make the terms ‘gas mask’ and ‘vaginal hook’ or ‘pussy hook’ fave searches of my blog. Both Gas masks and vaginal hooks are relatively inexpensive and almost entirely male fetishes though their submissives or girlfriends are the ones who are frequently injured while wearing them. Gas masks at least have a protective function if used as intended for breathing in a hostile atmospheric environment.

Gas mask fatalities (at least around here) seem to occur primarily among a few bi-polar male fetishists who off themselves when manic during a solo breathplay encounter while wearing a gasmask fitted with a rebreather bag. Then, it’s probably while trying to set a personal best for length of time with the rebreather bag valve closed. The guy will have been drinking and pass out and vomit in his mask and drown in his own vomit or become unable to open the valve from lack of oxygen and suffocate from carbon dioxide poisoning. More instances of lack of attention to detail in not planning an effective escape strategy in case something goes wrong.

Vaginal hooks on the other hand, have no redeeming social value whatever! They are diabolically misogynistic and masochistic devices used only to terrify or torture women with the thought of damage to their reproductive tracts and other organs in their pelvic area. However, for some few masochistic submissives being led around by a leash attached to a pussy hook can be thrilling. The hook is equipped with an anti-expulsion ridge that fits behind her pubic bone so the woman can’t remove the hook and needs no harness or belt to hold it in place. The anti-expulsion ridge is expanded with a key to lock the hook behind the woman’s pubic bone and it will require the key to remove it. For a woman in the right mental state that sort of situation and possible danger can be a huge turn-on. I think it’s more the fantasy of what could happen if her Dom yanked brutally on the hook than the fact of it actually ever happening. And that is the most benign use of a pussy hook! Another use is in a bondage situation where the woman is tied up with rope running through the attachment ring at the end of the shaft so that any movement on her part forces the hook deeper into her vagina.

Diabolique: I think the most diabolical use of the pussy hook is when the hook is fully inserted and the woman is hung from it. For a sociopathic sadist - returning readers know who I mean - tying a woman up, inserting a hook in her vagina and attaching it to a motorized winch on a rolling frame like auto mechanics use to lift engines out of cars is great fun. When she is lifted off the floor suspended by the hook behind her pelvis the weight of her body causes her to hang horizontally so the hook tears through her anterior vaginal wall, puncturing her bladder and often her uterus. Her entire weight is placed on her pubic symphysis which for a woman weighing 100 pounds or more is enough to pull her pelvis apart. If she doesn’t faint immediately the time it takes for her pelvis to tear apart is accelerated by her writhing in pain. When the pubic symphysis is pulled apart the surrounding soft tissue tears and she drops to the floor gravely injured and sometimes leaving parts of her bladder and uterus on the hook. She will bleed to death in minutes if one of the arteries supplying her uterus is torn.

The girl with the platinum pussy hook

Wolford Fatal 15 tights coordinate with pussy hook and chatelaine

The girl with the platinum pussy hook: In very up-market circles in Vegas pussy hooks (vaginal hooks) are becoming a must-have accessory. At first it was the one or two fashion leaders who wore them to parties for their shock value. Now most of the trust-fund set are wearing them. Of course there is no intention for the wearer to ever be suspended by her pubic bone with the one she is wearing. The hook is just to suggest she is a lot kinkier than most of the Junior League women really are. Actually, hanging a girl with her pussy hook accessories would probably be impossible because as jewelry they are made from 18 caret gold or solid platinum which are too soft to take the weight of a 100 to 110 pound girl w/o bending and dropping her in a heap. Platinum seems to be the metal of choice at the moment as it is the most expensive and will go with most Winter colors.

As this is being written (on Friday 10-16-09) the price of a troy ounce of gold is about $1050 USD and platinum is around $1335 USD. At two ounces – or more depending on the size the wearer wants - the hook is surprisingly heavy and the external end is fastened to a matching chatelaine that is worn low, just above the swell of the hips, with the pendent chain attached by a claw latch to the hook lying against her flat hard belly. The adjustable chatelaine contains another oz of metal so as fine jewelry the hook and associated chain cost about $8,500 USD for a basic set.

Grooming etiquette: For proper display of a vaginal hook the wearer must have totally waxed pubes so that the glint of the hooks shaft is easily visible rather than being hidden in a luxuriant bush or even partially masked by a Brazilian landing strip. As vaginal jewelry a pussy hook is usually worn under a sheer seamless pair of tights like Wolford Fatal 15s. Black is usually worn with platinum and flesh and earth tones with gold. A Hook is worn under sheer seamless tights to minimize the likelihood of it getting caught on something or men fingering and trying to pull on it. Also the glint of gold or platinum protruding between the wearer’s labia beneath the gauzy veil of the wearer’s tights makes a hook look that much more mysterious and erotic. My esthetician at Body Buffers says that the requirement for sheer seamless tights and totally hairless pubes has caused a shift in the trust-fund sets grooming needs and landing strips are being ripped out as women’s interest in pussy hooks increases.

Wolford Fatal 15 Tights: Perfect for showing off a pussy hook – appearing almost nude - while still being totally covered. Fatal 15 tights are completely seamless in matt transparency with unrivalled softness, a broad waistband for a perfect fit a flat toe seam and slightly reinforced toe. An incredibly smooth appearance is derived from the high elasticity and a good fit by the use of double covered Lycra in every row. Easy to wear particularly under close-fitting garments as nothing shows through. The yarn is 17 dtex / 15 den appearance. 90% Nylon and 10% Elastane. For any one wondering what ‘dtex’ stands for it is Decitex, in textiles; measuring unit for yarn; 1 gram per 10000 meters) For a comparison Wolford Aura 5 tights are made of 6 dtex / 5 den appearance yarn.

US FDA OKs GlaxoSmithKline’s Cervarix: “LONDON -(Dow Jones)- GlaxoSmithKline said Friday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved CERVARIX [Human papillomavirus bivalent (types 16 and 18) vaccine, recombinant] for the prevention of cervical pre-cancers and cervical cancer associated with oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 for use in girls and young women (aged 10-25). MAIN FACTS: -CERVARIX was shown to be 93 percent efficacious in the prevention of cervical pre-cancers (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+/ CIN 2+ or adenocarcinoma in situ) associated with HPV 16 or 18, in women without evidence of current infection with, or prior exposure to, the same HPV type at the time of vaccination. -The majority (approximately 75 percent) of cervical cancers in North America are caused by HPV types 16 and 18. -CERVARIX does not protect against disease caused by all HPV types. -Approximately 100 types of HPV have been identified to date and, of these, approximately 15 virus types are known to cause cervical cancer. -The FDA's approval of CERVARIX was based on data from clinical trials in more than 30 countries involving a diverse population of nearly 30,000 girls and young women receiving CERVARIX. -CERVARIX is expected to be commercially available in the U.S. in late 2009.”

Personal comment: When Cervarix becomes generally available in the U.S. the competition should drive down the price of Gardasil.

Vaginal and anal hooks

An anal / Pussy Hook

The butt hook: This bondage toy has a removable 30mm diameter x 60mm long plug is attached (removable) to a 300mm long natural curve of 12mm diameter highly polished stainless steel with securing loop. The curvature of this device is adjusted to fit the individual and the body cavity in which it will be used. An incorrectly adjusted or inserted butt/pussy hook can result in a punctured vagina or anal cavity with massive blood loss so no woman below the age of 16 should be fitted for one. Girls interested in BDSM training are strongly encouraged to be fitted for their own butt and vaginal hooks and not to try using their mother’s or older sister’s device.

The hook(s) can be worn alone snuggly chained to a bondage corset or with a Penetrator plug as pelvic padding if worn as a butt hook and the wearer is to be suspended with her weight being taken on the hook. Even with the Penetrator head padding her pubic bone and vulva being suspended by a butt hook is extraordinarily painful and some pelvic crush injuries can occur. A coping mechanism is for the woman to remain as still as possible while suspended. However, a battery powered G-spot vibrator in the Penetrator plug is usually activated by the wearer’s Master which makes remaining still very unlikely. A snuggly fitted ball-gag is worn to muffle the wearer’s screams.

In my Contemporary Sexual Health classes I urge students who are interested in and old enough to be fitted with butt and/or pussy hooks to resist the temptation because even with the most enlightened Masters severe injuries frequently occur to hook wearers especially during suspensions. For professional escorts seriously into BDSM our clinic fits hooks and I help fit girls who have passed an approved BDSM course with their first vagina and anal hooks and teach the correct use – we sell them primarily as orifice jewelry not for suspension – even though I know many of them will be swinging from the hooks I fit like so many sides of beef.
