Next Up: The Anatomy of an S10 Gasmask

In my dealings, i have had a lot of time to work with S10 Masks, both in hood form, and as Avon created them. In the next few days im going to take a series of photos detailing various parts of the S10, and how to remove/replace/service them.

Additionally, I will walk through the steps of how to replace the factory lenses of your S10 with flat inserts and tint them black for that cool 'incognito' look

Looking Back on Padded Gear Experiments

Making padded gear has proven itself to be a very interesting experiment, and I thought i would share my thoughts on it.

• Loose polyfill seems to be a good compromise between firmness and the feel of 'air'
• Trapping just the right amount of air in the cavity can be a difficult dance
• Too much air makes it feel like a balloon, and pushes the seams apart under heavy force
• Not enough air feels too firm, like a piece of cheap carpet padding
• Polyfill does not take rubber cement well enough to 'adhere' to latex, so to speak
• Compacting the fill as you glue the seams is NOT as hard as it would seem

My ultimate goal with this is to make padded mitts similar to the Mr-s padded mitts, or a hood similar to the Puffy Hood. EVENTUALLY I would like to make a full padded suit -- the ultimate collision between latex and down/padded gear -- Visually I'm not sure if it would be horny, or evoke visions of the Michelin man, but i think it would be really stimulating to wear....

I'm not quite sure what other directions one could take this, but admittedly, making this is a lot like making inflatable gear, so the possibilities are limited only by the imagination.

Holiday

I planned on updating this every day for 30 days, but the holidays and visiting family are likely to interfere.

I'll be back with more after the Christmas

Sleeping In Sleepsacks

Those of you that know me, are aware that this is something that is very appealing to me, and that I do frequently.

First, Why?

I think there are a lot of reasons for this, foremost being that it is a fairly restrictive, yet comfortable position to lay in. I am someone who likes to be totally covered up, aside from my head, when I am sleeping, so the coverage of the sleepsack is a perfect alternative to blankets.

Additionally, I love the feeling of waking up, with the tight rubber all around, and my arms comfortably yet securely in the sleeves of the sack. Theres something very comforting about the entire situation, as well as sexually stimulating.

Comforting?

For me, sleeping in a sleepsack is not entirely a sexual experience -- admittedly i am far more likely to get into the sack for bed if I am horny. There are a lot of theories about why the squeeze of the latex is comforting for many people.

For more information regarding this, read about trance suits, or hug suits -- often for autistic patients, as a treatment: http://www.psychforums.com/autism/topic23075.html. I suspect the effect it has on me, is the same soothing and calming effect as it does on those patients.

How do you last 5-10 hours in a sleepsack?

A good question, I havent been able to last 8 hours as reliably as i could when i was sleeping in the sack more, but there are a few key points:

• Lube your arms and shoulders well, this is where problems often arise
• When getting in the sack, make sure the shoulder seams of the sack are even with the middle of your shoulder (this can be HARD on rubber sacks, but its IMPORTANT)
• Choose a sack design with a large enough foot area, what starts out tolerable can soon become extremely painful
• Control the temperature of the room, for me around 66 degrees tends to be comfortable while in a sleepsack for a long period
• Stack your pillows so that you have 'options' as to head angle and placement (this is hard to do once you are zipped in the sack)
• Be calm, enjoy the sensation, close your eyes and feel the experience -- once you can enjoy the sensation, you have a much better chance of achieving sleep
• Practice -- It took me more than a year of sleeping in a sleepsack 2-3 times per week to get to where I could truly get a good nights sleep (Chicagogear can vouch for this, he helped me in most of those nights)

How I Became Rubberfreak

Back in the earlier days of my kink-exploration, when recon and gearfetish were interesting, but didn't seem to be a great place to meet local people, there was Gay.com. In my late teens, the Chicago - Leather room was my normal haunt during evenings even into my early college days.

In those days, I used to go by another name on Gay.com -- I *think* it was something pretty vanilla, containing my initials and a date -- pretty normal stuff. As I descended further and further into my fetish obsession, I started putting progressively more and more perverted photos of me, until the ultimate culmination: A photo of me, the first time I ever got to try on a full catsuit, and a gasmask.

It was at this point that I encountered a particularly amusing and judgemental gay. Normal folks when they see something they don't like, or doesnt appeal to them move on to other profiles ... not this guy! The conversation went something like this, as I remember it:

him: What is that in your pic?
me: A latex catsuit, and a gasmask, it was awesome
him: Is that some sort of costume?
me: No, it's for sex, I have a rubber fetish
him: So you are some kind of rubber freak then?
me: Yep, pretty much
him: That's pretty fucked up
me: Thanks :)
(he closes the chat)

I was so amused by this, that shortly after, I changed my Gay.com name, and started posting  nothing but rubber-involved photos to me profile. My popularity both soared and fell massively -- I can actually say i feel like i enjoyed a bit of notoriety from it, for a short time.

This entire encounter was actually, for some strange reason, a game changer for me -- I fully embraced my perversion and eschewed the vanilla, for my darker interests from then on.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog -- hopefully some of you are going to be enjoying some pervy holidays with your partners/playmates!

Fetters Leather Sleepsack Review

Next up in the sleepsack reviews im going to change it up a bit, and review a Leather sleepsack -- from Fetters Specifically.

This sleepsack is different, in that it is in a different category pricewise from the other sacks i have reviewed thus far. This sleepsack, with the options I ordered, came in to the tune of just under two thousand dollars.

As ordered, my sack is a size Large, with Nipple Flaps, a Rear Access Zip, and the Body Belts -- all of these tend to add to the versatility of the sleepsack in one way or another.

The fit of the sack is maybe a little bigger than stated in the size chart in my opinion, as Fetters themselves sized me out for a large, and i feel it could be a little smaller. 

The construction of the sack is one of the best points -- this is made with good quality soft leather, heavy stitching, good zippers, and large rivets where required. This is definitely one piece you do not have to worry about damaging during a play scene, or as the captive.

For those of you that have been in a rubber sack, but never a leather one, it is an entirely different experience … more restrictive, more inescapable, equally sweaty i would say, but not as slimy slippery -- personally i tend to prefer rubber over leather, but some scenes just demand the durability that leather lends.

To sum up my thoughts about the sack: 

This is a great quality sack, but you will pay a premium for it

After 2 years of use, mine has held up very well to suspension and abuse

This is definitely one sack that you will only need to buy one time

No earth shattering surprises here

Chastity Goals

I have been into chastity for a long time -- since i was probably 16 years old -- After toying with some homemade devices, I got my first device through a friend at 18 years old … it was a well-loved Tollyboy (Remember those?) chastity belt. 

Considering how custom these belts are, the fit was better than either of us could have hoped… It fit well around the waist (I had probably a 28" waist at the time), and the measurement through the crotch, as well as the penis tube were a good fit. 

After a trial run, I let him keep the keys to it for 2 weeks at a time. Admittedly it was very stimulating to go to college classes, knowing those around me had no idea that i was wearing steel chastity locked on. As a boy of college years, with my sex-drive pent up, naturally i began to develop attractions to some of the guys i went to school with (as you might expect).

This went on for about 6 months, wearing the belt on and off -- it definitley wet my appetite for chastity (a hobby which i definitley couldnt afford). 

Ok, im rambling -- I told this story to talk about my goals involving chastity. 

Soon i will be ordering a secure, and very wearable chastity device from Steelworxx -- The Looker 03 for those that are interested. I plan on breaking my previous chastity record.

My current record stands at 45 days in chastity with frequent teasings and cleanings, and plenty of bondage any time my cock was unlocked. 

Currently I think my goal is going to be 60 days once im adjusted, and then up from there -- I am going to use the blog as a chastity dictionary while i am under lock and key, so it should prove amusing for everyone.
