But Roses have thorns! Ah Ha! You are so right.

Sometimes being in business things move so fast that you forget what the ‘old’ days were like. Every once in a while someone from my past will appear in my life again. For instance, I got a really cool email from Rose of the Tulsa Dungeon Society a few days ago.

Rose asked me about a wall mounted cock and ball restraint. She wanted to know if I’ve got one or seen one. She really needs one. That got me to thinking both about the idea of a man tied to a wall by his cock as well as all the fun times I had in Tulsa at the Dungeon Society with my friends inventing new fun ways to do bdsm.

Rose got my creative mind and juices running. (Thanks Rose, I think my guy will have a good time tonight - at least I will *evil laugh*). While we don’t sell a specifically named item for restraining your subbie boy to a wall. I think any of our cock and ball restraints with a metal loop on them will work.

I’d start by finding something on the wall like a railing at the bottom of stairs (not at the top for safety’s sake, but the bottom end of the stair rail can be quite useful). Or maybe I’d screw a lag bolt into the wall at about cock height, being careful to make sure it goes into a wall studd of course. Actually I think I’d put it a little below cock height so there would be more options for predicament bondage. Then I’d choose a toy that would work.

The Gates of Hell has a metal loop on the end that can be used for a leash, or for cock games like bondage. You can tie his cock to his thigh, or even to the railing or the loop on the lagbolt in the wall. You could tie two boys together with a long string and have them swivel their hips to swing the string so you can play jump rope. Now wouldn’t that be humiliating. Some subbies just can’t swing their hips enough to get the rope up. ha ha.. rope… up… get it?!

During CBT When tying to a wall or a stationary object I would use thread so it would break if the boy fell or had to get away (say in the event of a fire), us domly types are responsible for their safety you know. But even with thread it would be very uncomfortable at every tug and pull if they moved against it. And of course, if he broke the thread, there would be some very dire consequences.

Personally my favorite toy for CBT of all time… the impaler cock ring. The impaler spikes can be removed and a short-shanked lag bolt can be screwed in place of one of the spikes. Then you can hook them up to the wall by their balls. Leave a few spikes in, so they have to keep their thighs apart and give you access too their fun parts. Hmm.. ya know I even use this for electro play. A folsom type lead fits very nicely into one of the spike holes and makes the metal ring into a single pole toy. A nice metal probe connected to the other lead could make for some interesting squirming.

Thanks Rose, for getting my motor running again!

Love,
Kelly

I love my friends. They’ve created wishlists (wishlists that even make me blush) and they’ve been very open about giving me feedback on stuff that goes on at the office. So to reward them, I purchased a couple of things on their wishlist and I sent it to them. In kind, they’ve been nice to review them on their respective blogs. So as a public service I’m going to show you their respective blog posts about the products that they have received.

They don’t mention me by name on their blogs — they’re good about maintaining an arm’s length sense of privacy, but I don’t mind letting folks know that if you treat people right the world is a better place.

So here are those reviews. Take a look and enjoy. Oh, and rest the rest of their blog posts. They’re quite entertaining.

I would like to thank these lovely ladies for their honest (and tingly sexy) reviews.

This week has been a big week, with the elections and all.

New products have launched today and I’m particularly enthralled by two products: The Cock Lock Intruder (for obvious reasons — have you seen the thing? That’s pretty intense) and the Inflatable Sex Machine. I have you tell you Fetish Fantasy is such a well-done line of products. Sometimes I stare at those product pictures cause they’re so hawt. I take that back, Fetish Fantasy and Sportsheets. They do some really great product photography.

I hope you all get a chance to check out the new Sex Toy Distributing 2.0. The folks over there did a really great job with the updated site. They took feedback from their retailer customers and designed a site that’s more in-tuned to what they need. It makes ordering and fulfilling those orders at lot easier on both ends of the spectrum. If you’re indeed a retailer, go check out the prices that are offered on the products. You could find yourself with better margins based upon the wholesale prices offered.

Additionally, I asked Jennifer, the wholesale manager if she wanted her picture to be included on the blog. We compromised with the image that you see to the right. It’s an “animated” version of Jennifer. Honestly, I think it’s a pretty good likeness of her. So if you’re talking to her on the phone, just stare at this picture and imagine the lips moving. However, if your phone conversations are getting a little too steamy, then she may start charging you $3.99 per minute. The same goes for customer service reps. =)

So I hope all of you have a great weekend. If you end up with a great story to tell, send them to me. I love stories! =)

[From the Mind of Marques, Extreme Restraints' Marketing Deal or No Deal]

So one of the questions my friends like to ask me is “How can you not be bored working at a sex toys company?”. I guess the assumption is that I’m taking all kinds of toys home, trying them out, calling out sick from exhaustion, wash, rinse, repeat. Now, if I see an interesting product I’ll pick it up. That’s how I ended up with Pulp Friction (great film, by the way). But again, because I’m such a vanilla  guy you probably won’t see a special dungeon furniture in my house or swings hanging above the bed.

However, that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy myself in this job. I have an absolute blast. Now let’s get something else out of the way. We’re talking about an 8-5 job here. With most people and their 8-5 jobs, there are times of stress and the incessant need to go home early, but when it’s all said and done the type of things that I’m able to produce (and watch grow) outweighs any stress and numerous cans of Red Bull it took to get there.

I did want you all to understand that as long as you’re having fun, safe, consensual sex — and you’re enjoying every minute of it, then my job is on the right track. I always keep the customers in mind with whatever I’m designing at the moment (a newsletter, front page banner, promotion, etc). I take the same approach that I do when I get my friends sex toys as gifts. It’s something you actually have to be quite particular about. We’re talking about people’s sexual and orgasmic enjoyment. Screw that up for them and you can end up on someone’s shitlist, easy =)

So I also encourage feedback from you all. Leave comments, send me an email, let me know what promotions you liked, what images made you laugh and smile. It’s that kind of feedback that helps me determine which directions to take in future advertisements.

My bottom line: I like to make both shopping and sex equally orgasmic experiences! Now I must get back to work. Have a great Monday.

Pyrex glass is a very tough tempered sodium borate glass. This is the same material used in glass scientific laboratory equipment and some kitchen ware. Not all “tempered” glass is pyrex. Be very certain of the material you are purchasing. Other less expensive types of glass are not as tough or break resistant as Pyrex glass. The special features of pyrex means that it resists shattering and breakage. Not completely indestructible, you still should not throw pyrex toys on against the floor or wall, you don’t have to worry about them breaking easily. Pyrex glass toys hold temperature very well. You can also cool or heat the object for some interesting sensations. Put this one in the refrigerator for play on a hot afternoon or warm it up for a nice surprise. Because the surface of glass is nonporous, you’ll find you need a lot less lube than with other materials. The non porous surface also means that it is very easy to thoroughly sterilize Pyrex objects. You can put your pyrex in the dishwasher to clean them and soaking in bleach solution will not harm the objects. Because of nonporous nature of the material, the ease of cleaning, and sterilizing, if you share your toys, this material is ideal for that purpose. Glass is also an amazingly beautiful material for making toys. Artistic colors, swirls, bumps, twists, and embedded patterns make pyrex insertables into true collectible objects of art as well as toys. Unless your friends are “in the know”, some of the toys could even pass for paperweights.
