Erotic Touch Brings Electronic Tattoos to Life

29 11 2009

I love tattoos. I got my first tattoo long before they became fashionable. back when it was rare for women to have them and they were still the marking of a bad ass punk. I wore it proudly.

A lover from long ago had multiple tattoos and I always loved running my fingertips over them, tracing their lines, asking their stories, seeing how their colors changed when wet.

Tonight I saw something that BLEW MY MIND. (hat tip @keyholesessions)

Electronic tattoos, right out of the future, under development by megacorp Philips at the University of Pennsylvania. These are silicon and silk implantable devices that sit under the skin and are already being tested on mice. Eventually the silk dissolves away into the body leaving only the electronics in place. Picture a tattoo that is made of LEDs the size of a grain of rice.

In one concept being explored, the electronics will take their energy from touch and the patterns navigated by desire. When you draw your hands over a body, the tattooed image appears on the skin trailing after your touch. The pattern moves and shifts and intensifies as skin responds to touch.

To see a video demonstrating the concept, check out this post. (Try to ignore the rather disturbing imposed sound effect of crackling and sizzling as the tattoo surfaces.)

Imagine how it would encourage erotic touch. You would see a play of design surfacing after your fingertips, revealing itself an inch at a time, like a secret message being decoded, revealing the mystery of your partner’s skin.

What patterns would you display? Would they be placed to lead your lover’s touch to your most sensitive areas, like a treasure map? Would they tell a story of love, lust or betrayal?

On one hand I find the concept quite frightening, in a dystopian Blade Runner kind of way. On the other, I would love to run my hands over my lover’s body to have it reveal its code to me as our lust increased. That would be incredibly sexy.

What do you think?





What Does Your Gender Mean to You?

1 11 2009

Wilhelmina Wang wants to know what gender means to me. In fact, she wants to know what it means to all of us and to add incentive, she’s made it a contest with some lovely prizes. The full details are below. Here is my response:

From Wikipedia:  The World Health Organization (WHO), for example, uses “gender” to refer to “the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women

I am female and have never identified as male. Though, I also believe that there is a spectrum of female roles, behaviors, activities and attributes. At times I’ve felt this to be more akin to how stereotypical a person is in their gender. In many ways I am not your typical woman, yet, that doesn’t mean that makes me more masculine. The absence of an ultra feminne stereotype does not make a male. It just makes me less of a frou-frou girl, if you get my drift. Perhaps it’s better to sum it up in I am not/I am.

I am not:

  • ultra-feminine in the stereotypical way, I don’t wear skirts much, care for lots of make up or fashion in the way that many girly-girls do
  • a lover of shopping, shoes, pink, frills, romance novels, or any of a billion other supposed “female” characteristics
  • a woman who sought with vigor to be a mother in order to feel fulfilled
  • a tomboy or boy-ish in any way, except for my humor sometimes and my ability to be “one of the guys” (i.e. not-prudish)
  • afraid of power tools, fixing things, bugs, dirt, camping or other things in the stereotypical “male” domain

I am:

  • feminine without trying to be
  • logical, rational, analytical and in control of my emotions; my hormone cycles don’t appear to effect this
  • a mother who encourages her daughter to be independent and stays neutral on pink as a color option (her fave color is blue)
  • lucky to have had incredible female role models in my life who are smart, funny and damned good at what they do. I don’t know/care if they are “pretty”, but to me they are all beautiful because of their energy.
  • independent, strong, assertive, kind, caring, creative and like my role models, smart, funny and damned good at what I do.
  • a good wife to my husband; we share in everything equally.
  • In fact, equality is incredibly important to me – whether in a marriage, or other family roles, between genders everywhere, and especially in the workforce and within society at large. The earnings gap makes me crazy. Paying more at the dry cleaners and hairdresser makes me livid. Paying sales tax on tampons because they’re considered “luxury items” makes me scream.

Have I ever identified as male? No, I don’t think so. Sexually, I’ve never wanted a penis nor to fuck somebody with a strap or to pack. (Though, I am always open to the idea that sexuality is an evolution. So, who knows? Perhaps that will change in the future.) The idea of having a penis seems alien and I’ve mentioned on occasion how if I had one it would just get in the way. I also don’t think I would like having such a visual sign of arousal.

Conversely, I also am not overly attracted to women sexually. There have been the odd occasion where I did entertain the idea of sex with another woman, and perhaps in the future might act on those ideas. But, I’m not driven by them. Overwhelmingly, I am attracted to men.

Ultimately, I love being female and all the complexities that that entails. I am completely at ease with being MY type of female on the spectrum. Though, I do admit that sometimes I have difficulty relating to those on either end of that spectrum. But I remain open to understanding and don’t pass judgment. The world needs diversity. And acceptance. And equality. Within, and outside of, whatever gender you happen to be.

 

Here are the contest details:

What does your gender mean to YOU?

This might seem like too much of a queer-centric contest, but even if you don’t play with your gender necessarily, I’m sure you still have feelings about your gender.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about my own gender more, and while appear mostly feminine, I often wish that I could wake up and just pick whatever gender I wanted to be that day, and be it. Soon I’m going to be doing a series of posts/HNTs exploring my own gender(fucking), and I’m really looking forward to reading about other people’s takes on gender. I thought combining a shout out for feedback with a contest would be cool.

Prizes:

I’m not giving away as much as I was for my last contest, but the prizes are still pretty sweet:

1. A Femblossom Heat from Emotional Bliss!

A Few Moments at the Office

28 09 2009

A few weeks back I told you about Wilhelmina Wang’s first anniversary contest for her blog Heatbreak Nymphomania where the challenge was to write about a first. Although, I didn’t win (check out the great stories from Lola Batling, Purple Foxglove and Alice Coquelicot who did), I thought I’d post my entry here, just the same. Some firsts are worth revisiting.

A Few Moments at the Office

It was a day filled with sexual tension. The sparks between us didn’t have far to arc in the tiny room we shared as an office. Swiveling my chair around, he leaned forward and kissed me hard. The heat between us exploded and soon we were on our feet, chairs rolling haphazardly out of the way, bodies tight against each other, his hand down the front of my pants, probing. “Get those off, “ he said as he shoved my keyboard and mouse out of the way. He extended the small sliding shelf extensions on either side of my desktop, the ones meant to give a little more room to lie out papers, or place a telephone. I’d had the desk for six years and had never noticed it’s great potential for sex before.

Jerker

He patted the desktop and I hopped up. Placing each foot on the extensions, my knees were up and legs spread wide.  Reaching behind me, he slid me forward so that my ass was teetering off the edge of the desk. Running two fingers up my slit, he slid them into my very wet pussy. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him, our tongues entwined, our lust intense, the pace of our breathing quick.

Letting his pants drop to the floor, his cock bobbed with his pulse as he put on a condom. The height of the desk was perfect as he entered me. With long slow strokes the angle of my pelvis was perfect to receive him, and I could feel his cock filling me up over and over again. I moaned my pleasure loudly and dug my fingers into his shoulder blades, his speed increasing. I could feel my orgasm coming quickly, my muscles tightening around his cock. Reaching down, he rubbed my clit and buried himself deep within me as he came hard. I screamed out as his touch pushed me over the edge of an intense orgasm. My whole body tightened and clenched him, hands clawing at his back, my head tucked down, teeth bearing down on his shoulder. And, in that moment, there was an unmistakable sound. A splash hit the wooden floor below me.

We froze like that for some moments, locked in each other’s bodies. I could feel my pussy dripping, the space between our bodies unusually slick. He pulled back and checked the condom. “What the fuck was that?” I asked incredulously. “It appears you’ve squirted.” I looked down and on the floor below was a puddle. “What? But, I don’t do that!” He looked at me with a smile and replied, “Well, apparently you DO.”





What Was Your First?

12 09 2009

Wilhelmina Wang is holding a one year anniversary contest over at her blog, Heartbreak Nymphomania. She wants you to send her a story of a first, as she explains:

To enter the contest, I want you to tell me a story about the first time you did something that made you smoulder with desire, or bubble with joy. Anything involving sex/sexuality/general hottness. Like:

- your first really good kiss
- fulfilling a sex fantasy
- finding a dress/cologne/packing cock/something that made you feel drop-dead gorgeous
- first time squirting…

She will post the entries on her blog for the community to vote on. And she’s assembled three amazing prizes with products from Tantus, LELO, Njoy, Intimate Organics, Kinklab and Tristan Taormino.

I’ve submitted my entry that on first appearance could be about the first time I had sex on my desk. But, I assure you, it’s much more than that. Hopefully it will be picked to enter the judging round and you can read about it for yourselves.

I encourage everyone to enter Wilhelmina’s contest. But do it right away! The deadline is today at 11:59 PST.





Glow

9 09 2009

My eyes fluttered open and I saw darkness. I could hear people talking on the sidewalk as they passed just 3 feet from the open window. My ears were ringing and a thin sheen of sweat covered my body. Slowly, I released my death grip on the sheets I’d clawed and grasped, having balled them up and squeezed them tight against my chest. I opened my jaw and turned my head, releasing the pillow from my teeth. It muffled my screams from passers-by as best as it could when I crested over an intense and long-lasting G-spot orgasm. Still breathing heavily, I felt his hand pull away from between my legs. My body twitched and shuddered as he withdrew the still-pulsing vibe. Rolling from my side to my back, I felt the cold leather paddle beneath me, the bed wet from my sex. My ass felt hot.

Stretching my arms above my head, I let my hands hang off the side of the bed, the metal snap connectors jangling and straining against the D-rings of the heavy leather cuffs. My breathing slowed and I let out a long, slow exhale while I stretched my legs up the wall and crossed my ankles. I felt his warm hand travel the length of my leg, across my hip and come to a rest on my right breast, kneading it and gently tugging at the nipple. I moaned and arched into his touch. He shifted and came in close to my ear whispering, “You’re such a good little fuck toy. But, it’s time you got back to work.” He pulled the blindfold up and over my head, leaving me squinting, as the mid-afternoon sun washed over our bed.

A Salute to Masturbation May

31 05 2009

For a variety of reasons, I don’t get much time alone. The magical and elusive combination of time by myself AND an accommodating schedule means that I can get up to some serious “me” time. As May is Masturbation month, it deserved to be saluted with an all out solo-kink-fest. One fine afternoon a few weeks ago, I entertained myself with this:

Salute to M numbered

  1. Spreader bar with eye hooks at each end and one in the middle.
  2. Ankle cuffs. (They’re actually my wrist cuffs, but they’ll do ankle duty in a pinch.)
  3. Double-ended bolt snaps for attaching cuffs to spreader bar.
  4. Collar.
  5. Bamboo flat-backed back scratcher. Used like a crop, it produces a nice sting.
  6. Affectionately nicknamed Monster, it’s a “fleshlike” Doc Johnson dildo.
  7. Glass dildo with bumps that I love.
  8. Cockring.
  9. Bullet vibe for the cockring.
  10. Lube.
  11. Vibrating stainless innards that long-survived the jelly it was once attached to.
  12. Wooden clothespins (16) (not shown).

Looking at this photo and list, two things are apparent. I must have been incredibly horny to have brought out so many implements. And, I am in desperate need of some better quality toys (but that’s for another post).

It started with the thought that I would like to have my ankles restrained and attached to each end of the spreader bar while masturbating. I stripped down, put on my collar, attached the cuffs  to my ankles and then to the spreader bar. The feeling was so wonderful that before I even touched myself I was growing very moist.  With my knees far apart, the space between my legs was so obviously empty that I yearned to be filled.

I reached for the biggest toy I have to do the job. Nicknamed Monster, it is a rather girthy Doc Johnson dildo with balls and a suction cup. It’s made from some “fleshlike” substance that will likely rot my insides and make me glow radioactively. With the shaft barely hanging on to its balls and suction cup, this toy has seen better days. But when you’re in need, you’re in need.  I worked it into me and turned it so that the balls applied pressure to my clit while I was sitting. Rocking and grinding on it, ankles spread wide, my attentions turned to my breasts.

For some time I’d wanted to try clothespins on my breasts. This was the perfect opportunity to test my tolerances without risk to my pride if I aborted the attempt. I placed two on each areola, one on either side of my nipples, to very little discomfort. Intrigued, I continued until I had 4 clothespins in a row in lines on either side of my nipple on each breast, for a total of 16 clothespins. There was a stinging, gnawing discomfort, but nothing too painful at all. The sight and  feeling of my own handiwork while still rocking my hips over Monster, increased my  arousal. I was going to need more than old Doc Johnson could provide.

Loading the bullet vibe into the cockring and sliding it down the glass dildo, I was disappointed to discover that the battery was dead. No matter, I withdrew Monster and felt the cold hard texture of the glass easily entering me, the clit massager hit its target and felt great, even without vibration. This glass is a toy for repeated penetration allowing the friction of the bumps to massage and excite me as it grazes my G-spot. Lifting and tilting my hips from my seated position was a little challenging with my ankles held in place by the spreader bar, but I managed to get a good rhythm and was moaning loadly before long.

I decided that I wanted to prolong the session – after all, it was a rarity to have such delicious time with myself – and so I would pull back from climax for as long as I could. The clothespins on my breasts were starting to become rather uncomfortable. So, proud of how many I could take and how long I was able to keep them on, I braced myself for the inevitable “ow” moment  as I removed them. Red pinch marks covered my breasts and I rolled and pinched my nipples between my fingers to divert attention away from the sting, which served to excite me even more.

Over the previous months, I’d grown to love the stinging sensation from spanking and wanted to feel that sharpness and heat on my pussy. I drew the glass out of me and my clit ached for attention. Reaching for the bamboo back scratcher and, with knees held wide, I  lightly tapped between my legs with its flat back  in a cropping motion. Mmmm. Again, with a little more force and a flick in my wrist. This time a moan. I started thwacking my pussy and inner thighs over and over again, my heart pounding, breathing becoming more rapid as I tried not to squirm in my seat. The sensation was amazing and once again, I felt myself rising to orgasm.

Easing off again, my wicked mind craved more new experiences before allowing myself release. My pussy was wet, tingling and pulsing from the cropping and still, with my ankles held apart, felt so open and exposed. Noting that my tolerance for pain was high at that moment (I still maintain that I am not a pain slut) I reached for the clothespins again. This time, I placed 4 on each side of my labia and one on my clitoral hood. To my surprise, it felt oddly comfortable, the pressure and faint pinch pleasing, the weight and pulling sending tingling sensations up and down my pussy.

The way the pins were arranged allowed me to still run my fingers over my inner folds and rub the underside of my clit. As I slowly fingered myself back to heightened arousal, the ends of the clothespins clicked against each other, the one on my hood providing extra pleasure as the fastener knocked against my the top of my clit.

It was time to finish with gusto. I grabbed the slender metal vibe, applied a dollop of lube to the tip, stood, inserted it into my ass and turned it on to the medium setting. Sitting back down, the vibrations set my body alight, producing a deep gutteral resonance. I grabbed the nubby glass dildo again, slid the cockring off, and leaning back glided it into my needy pussy. Its glass base tapped the clothespins with each thrust. I angled it upwards so the bumps would add maximum pleasure to my G-spot and soon I was moaning loudly, gyrating on the vibe in my ass and rubbing my clit with my other hand. Not able to hold back any longer, I cried out loudly as my ogasm hit me with incredible force. My body tensed as I gushed and shook with wave after wave of pleasure, eyes rolled back in my head, ankles straining for freedom, spreader bar crashing against the hardwood floor.

As I came back to earth, I removed the glass dildo, the vibrator and the clothespins. Bending over in my chair, still trembling with aftershocks, I finally released my ankles from their restraints and was able to close my knees again. I sighed deeply and contentedly, gazing around at the toys of my pleasure knowing that this time of self-exploration was special. What I learned about my body, my tolerances and my pleasure dispelled fears and gave me the confidence to know what I will want to try again. I will be more prepared, eager and willing to continue to push the boundaries with my husband. Solo is good, but two is better.

Do you know the TED Talks? The annual conference on ideas held every February in Califorinia is fabulous. (If you don’t know it, go there and blow your mind.) The fine people at TED post the videos from the conference throughout the year, sharing these incredible insights and brilliant ideas with the world. Here’s one that I thought was perfect to post here. It’s well worth the 17 minutes of your time.

Powerful Submission

2 04 2009

This moment had been a long time coming. It had taken two weeks for my custom order to be created and shipped, two weeks before that deciding what I wanted, preceded by six months of BDSM exploration and many years spent not acknowledging what I had believed to be a side of me too dangerous to discover.

The plain brown box had arrived and I gingerly, nervously, excitedly removed it’s contents. I stared, agape at its beauty and power. A broad royal purple suede band encircled by a thick black leather strap, three D-rings and a gleaming lockable buckle. It was gorgeous.

This moment was mine alone. The decision was mine. The gift of submission, mine to give. The veto, mine. In this spirit, I collared myself.

Some may say that this is not true submission in the context of those who live the BDSM lifestyle. They’re right. But it’s my submission, and one gratefully accepted by my  husband who has no desire to dominate me outside of our sex life. And even then, our D/s roles are quite accommodating. If that makes us lightweights, then so be it. I won’t conform to someone else’s idea of what my relationship with my husband should be. That is for us to decide.

Make no mistake, I do love submitting to him. I give myself up completely, trusting him implicitly to push my boundaries in a way that I never feel in danger, yet still challenges me. We’re moving along this arc together, each learning. We are sharing our most intimate desires in a way that we’ve never done  before. It requires vulnerability to express those dark needs. And you’ve got to be brave to be truly vulnerable.

I put the collar on for the very first time, fingers trembling, suede soft against my skin. I pulled the strap snugly through the shiny buckle and slid the end into place. I paused for a moment to smell the delectable scent of new leather.  I could feel the blood coursing through my body, feel my heart pounding, feel myself becoming wet with the new sensation of constriction. My skin erupted in goosebumps and my nipples hardened as I fingered the D-rings and centered the collar on my neck. It was time to look in the mirror and face the decision I had made, to see the physical evidence of the new direction I was taking. We were taking together.

My gift of submission is powerful.
