review: aneros peridise

hi all,

battery here again. my schedule got a bit busy, but i managed to find the time to try out this new toy from babeland and, boy, am i ever happy that i did.  i actually tried it twice, just to make sure i could do it justice.

the first time i tried it, i didn’t have much time (in a hotel room at a conference when my roommate came back… didn’t seem appropriate to be moaning in the bathroom), so i tried it at home, again in the shower. the toy in question is the ‘peridise: unisex anal pc toy’ by aneros, makers of fine anal toys. let’s go from the outside-in.

the package:

i am a fan of the colour scheme of the package, which is red, black, and white. simple and classy, the font (century gothic) reflects the simple, smooth shape and texture of the toy itself. point for that. i’d have to say, though, that i’m not a big fan of the conventional plastic clamshell package the peridise comes in. i have seen more innovative, and more sustainable, ways to package toys. it’s not a huge issue, but one to be considered by manufacturers and consumers alike.

the toy:

soft and smooth, i ran the toy through my fingers a few times to get a feel for it. i have to admit that i didn’t really see the appeal of the toy when i first saw it. i head heard that it was a fucking amazing creation, but i was confused by its size. the toy comes in a set of two, one bigger and one smaller, and there are two sets available: beginner and advanced. i got the beginner set, given that i haven’t tried it before. the strange thing is that the “beginner” size is bigger than the “advanced.” given that i’m a bit of a size queen and have had my fair share of anal action, i was highly skeptical.

and then i tried it.

going in:

the instructions are to slowly insert the head of the toy into your bum. once the head is in, you are to use your anal muscles to bring in the rest of it. then, using a combination of pressure, positioning, and muscle contraction, your are supposed to experience bliss.

never having been one to follow instructions or to proceed with caution, i pushed it all the way in. maybe it’s because i’m busy, but i just don’t have the time to take an hour and a half to build up my orgasm – i’m on the go and expect my climaxes to keep up with me.

this toy kept up. in fact, there were times when it was driving.

within minutes, i was the loosest i’ve been since that dp 3-some. [thanks, i really wanted to picture you like that, my life is complete - big] my ass was in a happy, happy place – and it wanted more.

the curves and über-smooth texture hit just the right places and the little handle at the end makes it perfect for maneuvering it to press against my prostate. pushing it in and pulling it out, to the front, back, and sides, just at my sphincter and all the way in – i tried it all. when i combined it with the aforementioned contractions of various parts of my pelvic floor and anal canal muscles, these feelings just intensified.

also an interesting sensation: “pushing out” instead of “pulling in” – definitely worth a try. i got lost in the movement. i got lost in the sensation. i am happy that hot water is included in my rent – this turned into one long-ass shower.

thinking that i had pretty well tried everything, i figured it was time to push myself over the edge. i had read some pretty spectacular comments about the peridise’s effect on orgasms, so i wanted to see for myself if it were true. for the record, i’m usually pretty good at getting myself off, especially if i take a little while to do it and do more than just jack off. while coming to completion, i had a random thought – what about if i spin the toy around while it was inside me?

oh.my.god.

the sensation was so intense that i fell over; and i had been kneeling. this toy gets a full 10/10 because it is so beautifully deceiving. in this case, very good things come in small packages. i like that it aims to work out your anal muscles (something that improves orgasms and erection longevity), and i like that even i, whose motto is often ‘the bigger, the better,’ had such a wonderful experience with something so small.

this toy is great for anal beginners and experts alike. i’d suggest giving yourself several hours to really get into it and to try out the hands-free approach and to experiment with combinations of, as the box says, pressure, depth, and position, but also, as i so gratefully learned, spinning. all in all, one of the best toys i’ve tried.

if you give it a chance, the peridise will take you to paradise.

want

i know what you want.

you want to take me and stand me in a room with a bed nearby and kiss me.  you want to take me and strip my clothing from me one piece at a time.  reverent almost as you caress my skin through the smooth cloth and slowly work it off my body.

you want to hear my breath catch in my throat and see my eyelids flutter as you feel my weight rest ever more on your arms.  you want me to sway into your body and breathe into your neck as you stroke my skin and leave goosebumps behind.

you want to drag me in to an incredibly hot shower and wash all of me excruciatingly slowly while i lose any strength i once had in my knees.  feel me swoon and slide down your water slicked body to your feet; feel my mouth take you inside until you rise a little extra.

you want us to make out like teenagers in the shower until you are throbbing and i am wet and slick in spite of the water sluicing away my natural lubricant.  to push me against the wall under the shower head and lift me on to your cock even as my legs make their way around your beautiful back.

to hold me in your trembling arms as our mouths come together and i slide agonizingly slowly down your rock hard shaft;  slide until we are joined at our centres and our mouths.  until we pulse with each other and yet hardly move.  feel each other shiver and tremble and move oh so little with so much impact.

lose ourselves in each others heat until you groan and tear your mouth from mine and growl “bed, now” into my ear.  an ear you nibble on even as you woefully ease your length from my body and we drag our weak kneed selves in to the bedroom.

the bed is going to be soaked.

you want me to stumble at least twice on the twenty foot trip from the shower to the bed before you push me ever so gently and i fall to the mattress.  you want to cover me from behind and stroke my clitoris with your penis until i beg you to fuck me.  until i thrash beneath you and press my bottom in to your abdomen.

want to pick up my hips as your kneel up behind me and then impale me as i gasp and press back against you.  press my ass against your thighs and groan as your long fingers find my clitoris and then release to drive me from behind.

drive me into bucking against you and every slap of your balls against my aching clit pushes a gasp from my throat and a squeeze in my vagina.  you want to fill me even more and feel me begin to milk you as your steady rhythm drives me ever closer to orgasm.

you want to hear me cry out and feel me shudder and quake around you.  want my onrushing orgasm to drag quakes and quivers out of your body.  want me to feel you lose your rhythm and pulsate inside me and let out a deep shout even as your body erupts into mine.

you want me to scream as my body reacts to yours and releases a further gush of liquid around your still thrusting penis.  want to feel the walls of my vagina slap against you and my knees give way beneath you.

want us to collapse in a trembling and laughing heap on sheets soaked with water and our come.  to lay there, sated only for the moment before one stirs and the other responds.

i know what you want.

have you ever had a moment with a lover that felt rather transcendent?

a moment you didn’t even tell your girlfriends or buddies about because somehow there wasn’t anything to say?  that, in fact, you didn’t blog about or even really talk about because it was like a little treasured gem just for you?

my most recent ex and i had such a moment on vacation last year.  it was… amazing and fun and words would never ever manage to do it justice.

what’s funny is that he always wanted me to write it. in fact the experience would have become hotter for him had he been able to read my take on it.  the internal monologue as it were.

but i can’t write it,  even now when i’m over him and he has a new girlfriend?

even now when i know that our love didn’t last?  that whatever was going on with us was passing?

this is not to take away from the significance of our experiences with each other at all.  just to say that we’re done and he’s moved on (in love even maybe.)

and still i can’t write it.

or maybe it’s that i don’t want to, i’m not sure how to tell the difference.

sometimes i just don’t want to put it out there and share it with everyone.  sometimes i just want it to be mine.  sometimes i don’t want to imagine people imagining me doing something i did.  wow english fail much?

this is a little funny since it’s the very posting of my sex life that titillates me.  the idea that out there, right now, there is someone seeing my wordz and feeling themselves stiffen or moisten or shudder or maybe even gush or spurt.

oh so delicious, it arouses me regularly, this idea that someone is reading my smut and masturbating.  i often imagine writing the scene while i’m still in it but just as often i write the scene and then fantasize about it while i play with myself.  or even better; fantasize about someone reading it and getting off or acting it out.

i find certain comments particularly delicious for this (yes, that’s a hint.)

every now and then i’ll have a vibe on me while i write but that’s pretty rare, although when i do do that the resulting post post orgasm is unbelievable.  but somehow the writing and the orgasming don’t really have to be anywhere near each other in time to complement each other.

all of that said, the question isn’t how to write sex but when.

how to know when what you’re saying will enhance memories of an experience and when it won’t.  what to do if they want to blog about it and you don’t?  how to ask someone not to blog something.  how to explain to someone that you would, in fact, rather not blog this particular experience.

the more public an anonymous blog gets the more trouble these questions engender.

at first it’s so simple, you get five hits a week and no one you know has any idea that you have another blog.  you write down any little fantasy that pops into your fertile imagination and your blog starts to grow.  cut to two years later when you have an audience and a couple of exes who know where it is and some of your friends read it because it’s “really good and interesting” and several members of the “sex blogger community” know your name and what you look like and the easy imaginary scenes are a little harder to find in the depths of your mind.

and then your brain starts to interfere with your posts.  will your (now ex) boyfriend be offended if you discuss how pissed you are with him on your blog?  what about that long distance friend or two you want to shag… do you post your fantasies about them?  what if they read them?

do you really want some thousand people to read the details of something that happened in private/in the ocean/ at the park/ in the cemetary/ on the car/ against the window sill?  or your fantasies of same?

if you’re me the answer is yes.

it’s just that it’s only yes most of the time.

suddenly it’s harder to write the private stuff.  to talk about the things that hurt or aren’t working or might offend the man in your life.  to find the balance between being true to self and blog and being true to loved ones and their needs.

balance, so hard to find, so easy to screw up.

what do y’all do about this?

review: lelo liv

dear babeland and lelo;

thank you for the liv and the many orgasms.

-badinfluencegirl

the lelo liv is a delightful example of a simple thing done very well. it is a beautiful little machine made of smooth and silky silicone that recharges fast and then holds a charge for a couple of hours.  the controls are simple and there is a handy light to tell you when its charge is low or when it’s finished charging.

it has five vibration patterns [steady, pulse,  faster pulse, fastest pulse, slow rise] and several speeds. the control dial has four modes with plus and minus to the right and left and pattern on the top and bottom.  top to go up in the choices and bottom to go down.  this seems to be a pretty standard controller for lelo as it is identical on gigi.

the thing is, when you get to the top you have to go back down. i would so much rather just be able to scroll through in either direction to give me more variety.  i could be wrong but i can’t imagine it’s that hard to do since lots of other vibes let you endlessly scroll bidirectionally.

i have a few minor issues with liv; she could have a couple more options in terms of vibe patterns, her motor could have a little more oomph on the top end and they could get rid of the annoying whistle in the low end.  it’s got a fantastic low end for when you’re writing a post or starting slow or waaay too sensitive but it doesn’t have quite enough top end for the girls who really need a lotta vibe.

but here’s the thing, i really like this vibe. i just do.

it feels good on the skin, my nipples like it, my gspot loves it and my clitoris is happy to see it. in fact i’m horny while i write about it. i wrote across with it nestled gently between my thighs as i slowly cycled through the settings and upped the speed a notch with each rotation through the settings. it was awesome.  equally awesome was that the whistle was much less noticeable when liv was cradled between my thighs.

it was even more awesome to then hop to the bed and actually get off. generally if things are mild enough to titillate myself they aren’t strong enough to get me to the end of the road… but this vibe really is.

i think it’s best for the days when you want to tease yourself and play with yourself and let the lovely fabric of this machine caress your nipples and your entrance and stroke you wickedly before teasing your g-spot until you can’t bear it any longer and you just have to shove your clitoris against it and make little puddles on your bed.

if you’re after a quick and dirty orgasm?  if you want to be rode hard and put up aching?

this may be too soft and gentle for you.  but i don’t want the latter that often, and when i do i’m just as likely to use my finger or my finger and a dildo.  this toy lets you ride your orgasm for a while, it’s restrained and seems to facilitate having several orgasms at once.  particularly if you can leave it on your g-spot after your clit is twitching and your hips are bucking.

this vibe does what it does extremely well, it and gigi are quite similar and i would pick gigi if you want to use your toy to vibe other toys as well as on yourself and i would pick liv because her shape is more pleasing to fuck;  and if i HAD to say,  i think gigi is slightly better on the g and liv is slightly better on the labia/clitoris… maybe.

i would recommend liv to anyone who doesn’t already have a high end vibrator that they love.  to anyone who needs something small and portable that packs a punch.   to anyone that wants to pleasure themselves with beautiful things and feel good doing it.  to anyone that likes to surf their orgasms.

i would not recommend this to anyone who has tried a lot of vibes and found that only the hitachi magic wand will get them off.

so lelo liv gets plus one for being rechargeable and minus one for the annoying squeal in the low end and minus one half for not enough power and the other half for kinda limited vibration pattern options for a total of nine out of ten.

did i mention thanks for all the orgasms and that liv is now in the regular rotation? (not a long list)  no?  well i should have.
