I never do this meme, mostly because I am not very creative with a camera. As soon as I saw this toy, I had to make fun of it. It glows in the dark, it has lips implying a blow job, it is sticky as hell, and it smells.
I am sure my Miguel is gonna love it….not! It actually does glow in the dark though, in case you are into that. I don’t know that playing with it in the dark would improve the overall experience, but whatevs.
Maybe one day someone will be able to tell me what that chemical is.
See who else is playing…
I received the Fifty Shades of Grey No Peeking Blindfold Twin Pack from Play Passions for review. No matter what you feel about the books, there is no denying Fifty Shades of Grey has been making kink a bit more mainstream. The line of toys for Fifty Shades of Grey was approved by the author E L James and is made by Lovehoney.
Materials: Satin and Faux Fur
Dimensions: 7.5″ x 3″
The Fifty Shades of Grey No Peeking Blindfold Twin Pack was an easy choice for me, since we use blindfolds in play quite a bit. This set includes two satin/faux fur one in black and one in silver. Since their are two of them you and your lover can both wear them during play for blind exploration. I love that there are two of them. Being blindfolded really heightens your other senses. It seems like the volume is turned way up on everything, making touch, taste, hearing, and smell much more acute. These blindfolds are the perfect little thing to add to play.
These blindfold prevent any light from shining through even in full daylight. I like to also use them as sleep masks since I work nights and sleep during daylight hours. The blindfolds have two elastic bands on them for a snug and comfortable fit. They work great for submissive play since they stay put and block out everything. They are soft to the touch and padded with a short mat of faux fur that rests on the eyes. I can tell you from experience that they are comfortable for extended wear. I have a few other blindfolds. I think we acquired them as a free gift with other products. I never gave them much thought, they are all comfortable for light sensory deprivation. These No Peeking blindfolds are much higher quality than any of our other ones. These blindfolds are padded and feel cushion-y soft on my face.
This set also includes a satin storage pouch with the words Fifty Shades of Grey written largely on one side. Not really discreet but it only says it on one side.
This set came in deluxe packaging for mere blindfolds. Each blindfold has a small tag on it that says Fifty Shades of Grey. This set would make a great gift for fans of the books. They are high quality and comfortable. I really like them and would recommend them to anyone wanting good quality blindfolds.
The Fifty Shades of Grey No Peeking Blindfold Twin Pack can be purchased along with the whole line of Fifty Shades toys at Play Passions.

There is something wrong with the sex toy industry. I didn’t notice it right away. I started reviewing toys and I (like many people) believed what was written on the side of the box. I saw something saying what it is made out of and I believed it. I questioned why some silicone products were smooth while others were tacky but I didn’t think I had anywhere to turn with these questions. The differences to the naked eye on these materials is subtle. Basic sex toy materials include: Silicone, VixSkin Silicone, Silicone/Rubber Mixes, TPE/Elastomer, Jelly Rubber and Phthalates, Hard Materials (hard plastics, acrylics, Lucite, glass, metal, ceramic), TPR (Thermo plastic rubber). The hard part is telling these materials apart. Right now there is no regulating agency that assures that what a company says the materials is and what it really is. That means that a toy company can say something is pure silicone and not even contain silicone. Click here for more about what the regulation really is.
Did you know a sex toy with certain materials can make some people break out, can give people migraines, can cause yeast infections, can make some people sick? Yes, certain toys can be dangerous! Have you heard the stories of toxic toys?
Do you know what a phthalate is or why it is dangerous?
The good news is that you don’t have to know. Hell, to be honest I don’t even want to think about this stuff. As a sex toy reviewer I worry about recommending a product that is safe for you (and me). It really bothers me to hear about someone who bought a toy thinking it was safe, and that it made them sick, that they didn’t know any better.
Thankfully, there are people that care enough to test sex toy materials. There are companies willing to make their toys out of the best materials to keep it safe for play. (check out this post for a list of the companies that offer safe products). In this day and age there should be a regulating agency making damn sure what we buy is actually made of materials are safe for oral, anal, and vagina consumption. Is that too much to ask? I don’t think so.
Be part of the movement that calls for change!
Dildology.org is a movement for change:
The sex toy industry is on the rise, yet it remains largely unregulated. Dildology.org intends to provide material verification services and maintain a public database of the results, adding transparency and oversight to the industry while educating the public about the science behind pleasure products. We stand on our own, uninfluenced, and we are dedicated to protecting the health and wellbeing of the dildo-loving population at large through education (and maybe a little entertainment).
I am so excited to tell you that Dildology.org will be testing a large range of sex toys and publishing the results so we can know, really know, what the toys are made out of. The first toy they tested was the Jimmyjane Hello Touch, which passed and you can see the results here. The next product they plan to test is the James Deen Realistic dildo from Doc Johnson. From the Dildology.org site:
Dildology.org needs funds to get started. They are well on their way to the goal of $1500 for start up costs. The actual goal is $20,000, but lets start small. Think BIG, but start small. YOU can be part of this.
The perks for donating:
Please check out Dangerous Lilly’s post for details about other bloggers who support Dildology.org and details about donating. If you want to donate straight away click the graphic below…
You don’t have to donate $15, you can donate $2 and still be part of this. if everyone donated even just $2 we would be well on the way to getting manufacturers to take notice and start being honest about their products.
You can also share the cause on social media:
That totally counts and I am sure they will appreciate it very much. Thanks for your consideration!
Together, we are making history in the sex toy industry and together, we WILL create positive change
The book Under Her Thumb will give fans of femdom a delightful treat, and for me it was a refreshing twist of kink.
I am a big fan of D.L. King so I decided to read this book for review despite my own sexual preferences. I thought maybe I would end up liking this despite myself. You see, I am not a big fan of femdom. It is not something that usually turns me on. I do love a well written story and this book delivered on many occasions.
The book Under Her Thumb is edited by D.L. King and includes a forward by Midori. It includes 21 stories by various authors. Contributing authors include: Andrea Zanin, Valerie Alexander, Teresa Noelle Roberts, Colin, D.L. King, Evan Mora, Giselle Renarde, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Kathleen Bradean, Aimee Nichols, Laura Antoniou, Anne Grip, Andrea Dale, Lisabet Sarai, Dominic Santi, Lawrence Westerman, Jaqueline Brocker, Leela Scott, David Wraith, T.R. Verten, and Veronica Wilde.
My favorite tales from book are ones that really stuck with me. I found myself thinking about the characters later, the situations they find themselves in and the exchanges they had. La Sexoricista by Valerie Alexander was one such tale about a man obsessed with his Dom. The Dom cuts him off and he will do anything to get over her. He hire’s a pro and gets a big surprise.
Blame Spartacus by Laura Antoniou was another memorable tale. Sexy gladiators is what really turns this Dom on. “I wanted -I desperately wanted- two men, competing to please me: one to win, and the other to suffer.” The way the author describes the scene makes me see the duel and cheer for the champion. Well written and very sexy.
The Dinner Part by Anne Grip was haunting. This story is about a man in the middle of a contract to his Dom. This story was written from his perspective and it just talks about the dinner party and how she uses him, and how he loves it. It also describes the longing and fear he has for his contract to be up.
There are many other stories I want to highlight for you, but I don’t want to give up the whole book. I found the first half of the book was not as exciting as the second. The second half of the book makes this book was well worth getting. I loved it for the variety in the femdom kink and how the authors lay it out and describe why it works. I have never read stories like these, they are eye-opening and very hot!
Under Her Thumb was published by Cleis Press. It can be purchased here and here.

I love these kinds of questions that give clues to the past and what really goes on in the bedroom. I am curious about other couples. To be honest, I can’t wait to read the responses from bloggers this week.
These questions are from TMI Tuesday. Please go there to see who else is playing.
1. Answer Yes or No :
I Regret My First Kiss -I don’t remember my first kiss.
I Miss My First Love -no not at all
I Married My First Love -no
I Loved Someone That Didn’t Love Me -yes, hasn’t everyone?
2. Do you consider yourself monogamous or polyamorous or some other category you will explain or define for us now?
I consider myself a swinger. Swinger-a person who engages in consensual sex with people or couples outside of their core relationship. This could be with or without their partner. I choose to swing with my partner present.
3. Your partner is in the mood for sex and you are tired – what do you do?
a. Start snoring. There is no way I’m giving it up tonight.
b. Trade. You give me a massage… and we will see…
c. That would never happen!
I don’t see a response that fits my situation. This has happened and I usually just try to go with it, because I hate to reject my partner. It always works out that I end up glad I “gave in”.
4. Does your partner mind if you masturbate, in bed, when they are there?
He doesn’t. I have masturbated in front of him plenty of times.
5. Describe your typical sexual romp:
a. You are playful and tame
b. You have occasionally introduced a few things like outfits and toys
c. You love trying new things and shocking your partner
C- but I don’t think I shock him as much as I would like. He is an aggressive lover and I am just trying to keep him on his toes.
Bonus: What was your best ever masturbation experience. Why was it the best? Describe.
Every time I masturbate it is awesome! A few weeks ago I masturbated to porn in anticipation of my lover coming home to me. I was under instructions to only play with my ass and that was difficult and even more of a turn-on.
