ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer I – Small Latex Bags from VAST

Von | | ,
Einen Kommentar hinterlassen

Too often life happens while you make other planes. Enthused with ToyTorture.com being back up and finally looking functional and somewhat pretty in an oldschool minimalistic way again I planed to start new reviews in October. A bereavement in the closest family, cleaning out an apartment (not the anticipation fun filled clean out we usually talk about here…) and extreme workload at the daytime job which pays the bills and ultimately for this website forced me to abandon this plan. Not sure when reviews will return. Maybe in December, maybe in January or February. But, the Stocking Stuffer on the advent Sundays leading up to Christmas are a beloved tradition on ToyTorture.com that of course they will return this year!

The Three Sizes and some of the Colors of the VAST Phone Holster Bag made ouf of Latex

The Phone Holster suspended from a Latex Harness

End of September I visited VAST in Dortmund to give feedback on some toy designs. While waiting for the mastermind behind the Breathing System I strolled through the store and stumbled across these rubber holster bags. This design has been around in leather and most recently neoprene but I have never seen it executed in rubber!

This is a game changer for social events like the Pride parades, street fairs or bag nights. Most leather gear has some kind of pockets to store at least a few cards and a phone and even MX pants now come with pockets. But the sleek and smooth look of rubber does not really for carrying essentials around. So rubberists were either forced to mix materials or stuff their socks and suffer having a drowned phone from all the sweat running downwards. The VAST Holster Bags of a real useful and horny solution.

The Holster Bag attached to the Thigh using the two included Straps

The bags come in three sizes which all have the same internal size of 8cm width and 18cm heights which should be large enough for most phones. Depthwise you can choose between Medium with 2cm (enough for a phone, two or three cards and a bit of cash), Large at 3cm (enough space to also take the Folsom Europe booklet along or the diaper of an XL poppers bottle…) and XL which at 5cm is enough for a small camera or almost a small fisting kit if you use silicone lube. Being made out of finest rubber they are of course also the perfect breathing bag if you need a whiff of the delicious rubber latex scent.

The Back of the Holster Bag

You can attach the Holster either to a belt or harness using the hanger or turn it into a crossbody bag using the two included 64cm long straps. The straps are made out of VAST’s own aramide reinforced Superior Latex. They feature a D-ring each so are basically bondage belts. Of course they can be used to attach the bag to your thigh, upper arm or as a belt to secure it and keep it from dangling when being suspended from a harness. Speaking of security: The bag is closed with by a Loxx claps which is easy to open by pulling on the head. At first this is counter-intuitive and pulls on the bag. Thus you notice when somebody is fiddling with your belongings, making it extra secure at large events.

Both the medium and large Phone Holster Bag cost 149€, the XL 159€. They all come with a hanger and the two straps. VAST offers 9 standard colors of plain latex sheet. But they will happily make you a custom colored one to match your signature colors. On request VAST can also laser-engrave your personal logo into the bag to make it a real personal piece of gear.

Some of the Colors the VAST Cluth Bag comes in

Speaking of fashion, a little bit further into the start into the large selection of lady latex which covers the range from high fashion to hardcore kink over everyday attire – if you dare. An interesting way of bringing your kink into your daily life is through a clutch made out of VAST’s Superior Latex.

The almost Chanel Like Rhombus Patter of the Laser-Engraved Latex

It has the same great properties of the Holster bag, can withstand large force due to the aramid reinforced rubber, hates natural oils like all latex (be careful when carrying cosmetics inside!), is closed by a Loxx clasp and just smells delicious. Measuring W18xD3.5xH12.5cm in the inside it is large enough to hold a phone, keys, small wallet, tissues, a lipstick and even a pair of handcuffs. The should strap is attached to high quality stainless steel trim. It has a maximum length of 110cm and is detachable. Like the phone holster the clutch comes in 9 standard colors but can of course be custom ordered. The sleek latex version costs 159€. For an additionl 10€ you can get a version with a laser-engraved rhombus patter which gives the clutch a very upscale, almost Chanel-like appeal.

 

ToyTortue.com is Back!

Welcome back guys! It’s been a while, almost to date 8 months since ToyTorture.com went offline due to a cyberattack. In the meantime I did not believe that this little project of mine would actually come back. And now it is done.

First of all I need to thank a very special individual who did what I could not do. He salvaged what was left of my website and brought it back to life. My eternal thanks to him. Over the course of the past few months he stated that he just wants to bring this resource back. So he does not want attribution or a shout out. So in the name of all the visitors of ToyTorture.com: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This brings me right to the next important group of people to thank: You, the loyal readers and fans of this little website. Thank you so much for your support, compassion and offers to help! Having a website like this can sometimes be emotionally exhausting. A lot of time, work, sweat, love and money goes into this non-commercial, non-profit hobby of mine. But in most cases, I do not get any feedback but impression numbers and reader questions. Getting so many messages of support in such a dark hour showed me that ToyTorture.com matters and makes an impact. That my work is not in vain. Thank you so much for that!

While the website with it’s vast archive is now online again (and with all the legacy links still working!), it is far from perfect. In the process of recovery apparently some things in the WordPress have been broken. They are minor design things which I will fix in due time. For the time being, I am just happy that I now have my resource again to reference to while answering questions to improve your kink and sex life.

The website comes back at the most unfitting time of the year. Usually around this time I am going on summer hiatus for BDSM summer camp in the USA, Folsom Europe and the early fall holidays to return in October. And since plans have been made and vacations been booked, do not expect any new content or design improvements soon. But once I return mid-October you can look forward to reviews of

– A hand full of Regulation and Fetters Impact Implement

– My House of Basciano M4 and other bondage gear by him

– Both an antro and realistic dildo set from Mr Hankey’s Toys

– Oxballs Ball Stretcher

in addition to some articles I have been preparing (For example a Kinkonomics piece how in this economically difficult times, which gift with purchase are the best to retain customers for kink shops).

So, if you want to keep up with my the latest updates and my kinky life, follow me on Twitter, Instagram or Bluesky! Great things are in the making and I can’t wait to share them with you!

Best,

Mr Fuckin’ ToyTorture – Jedi Butt Plug Master

Happy holidays perverts! I hope you are having a great time among your loved ones or will be around them soon. If you are struggling or need mental support over the holidays, you can find an overview of international help hotlines here.

Like every year I want to take the Christmas days to reflect a bit on the past year. 2023 sadly has yet again been a year with horrible outbursts of violence and hate. One of the founding principels of ToyTorture.com has been that this website is unpolitical, beliving in the unifying force of love and kink. But be assured that me as the person behind this little website has been deeply affected by what is going on in the world.

This development has partly been fueled by the transformation of Twitter into a cesspool of verbal violence and misinformation. Luckily my filter bubble is still holding up quite well. But I can see how this once flourishing space of kink life and discourse is slowly dissolving. So many important, knowledgeable and witty voice have been silenced or have gone silent. It feels like the Tumblr purge all over again! This fortifies my decision to host ToyTorture.com on my own and not host or post my reviews on one of the major platforms. A few months ago I started getting active on Bluesky and Instagram. If you like, give me a follow there!

For years Twitter has been the main driver for traffic to my website, especially after Tumblr died. Due to not having Twitter Blue, the reach of my tweets has gone done dramatically. This in combination with changes to the Google Algorithms sadly meant a drop in traffic to my website. Luckily ToyTorture.com has and always will be a non-commercial hobby so it just makes me a bit sad that less people see the work I put into this little website. If you like what I am doing or find something interesting retweet, reskeet or talk about it. Seeing peoples’ relationship, sex and kink life improve through what I write encourages me to keep going.

Not being dependend on traffic and revenue from ToyTorture.com also means that I have not been effected by the most drastic change in the adult toy review scene: The Apple Privacy Update. This update among other things blocks the URL suffix used to attribute affiliate purchases on all Apple products. This has caused a steep drop in income for all reviewers depending on it affiliate networks. So I predict for 2024 many websites closing down or shifting focus. Again, ToyTorture.com will remain non-commercial and independent even though hosting costs, etc are not cheap. But I have always considered this my way of giving back to the community by helping kinksters finding the right tools to make their fantasies come true safely.

This website being a hobby is also reflected in subtle changes some of you might have noticed. Most notable reviews are becoming more and more infrequent. The Sunday-6pm-review is sadly a thing of the past. When I started writing kink toy reviews I was undergraduate student with plenty of time on my hands, especially when I became single again. These days are long gone. As a mid-level executive with a fiancée my priorities have shifted in the past years leading to the one review per week being an unsustainable frequency. Also, after 11 years I have written almost 500 reviews, blog entries and 101s. This means, I have covered almost all relevant toys. Of course there are still some very interesting and innovative toys out there which I will review! But for better or for worse the days of regular reviews are a thing of the past.

This does not mean that ToyTorture.com will go offline anytime soon! On the contrary, the past year has shown me more than ever how important such a website is as lighthouse leading kinksters new and old to high quality toys! Due to the global economic situations many kinksters have started looking at less expensive toys, mostly manufactured in Asia. While there are some great kink brands in the Asian Pacific region (ForFun in Bangkok or Army of Men in Sydney), many are not meeting the high standards you would expect from products made for intense body contact. In 2023 the messages asking about advice how to deal with allergic reactions after playing with leather toys & gear probably contaminated with Chrome-6 or silicone (anal) toys being colored with paint not being made for body contact have skyrocketed. So please, before buying cheap kink toys of Temu, Wish, Alibaba or even Amazon and eBay, consider the hidden costs and please be save!

This has been a surprisingly long end of year message. I want to close with thank you for your ongoing support of ToyTorture.com! All your messages, reader questions and kind words at events encourage me to keep on going. Thank you for reading what I write, even when I sometimes rumble on. For 2024 I wish you all the best, fun, kink and unexpected connections and look forward to meeting many of you at kink events, sex parties and prides throughout Germany – especially if you want to top me.

ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer III – Supporting MLC Book Crowdfunding

Playing on the Edge – 60 Years Living in the Gay Fetish and Leather Scene

Today’s Stocking Stuffer is a bit different from the usual ones. Originally I wanted to feature another small and thus sometimes overlooked independent kink business. Sadly I did not get the approval to use their pictures in time. But more importantly, today’s feature is a project close to my heart and my – local – community.

Many of you traveling Germany for kink fun know the Underground in Munich, on of Europe’s – if not the world’s – premier venue for gay kink, fetish, gear and BDSM fun. What many don’t know is that it is not a commercial venue but like Quälgeist in Berlin, Bunker in Dresden or Ox in Erfurt is volunteer run. The club behind this awesome place is called MLC e.V. – Münchner Löwenclub (Munich Lions Club, not to be mistaken with the local chapters of the Lions Club International).

Next year the MLC will celebrate their 50th anniversary. Among many parties and special events, they want to celebrate this milestone with a book called “Playing on the Edge”. In 50 articles and interviews it dive deeply in the history and life in the German speaking gay leather and fetish scene from the 1960s up to the current day. Currently the book is scheduled to be released in June 2024 and currently in German. But even if you cannot – yet – read it, it will feature many hot pictures from talented photographers. So it will also work as a coffee table book.

If books aren’t your thing, there are many other perks for supporting this project like a 50th anniversary merch package, VIP party tickets or throwing a private party in the venue. So if you or a friend of yours is interested on the history of the German kink scene, gift yourself or him this book and meanwhile support Europe’s largest gay fetish club.

ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer II – Slagwerk Atelier Exclusive Impact Implements

The Slagwerk Italian Leather Paddle

BDSM toys mostly follow the principal from follows function. This makes sense since they are being used in darker surroundings and – at least in the gay kink community – following an industrial/ rough design aesthetic. Slagwerk from the Netherlands follows a different direction. By matching braided Italian leather with polished stainless steel their toys have the look of luxurious lifestyle accessories instead of dungeon tools.

The Slagwerk Riding Crop

Personally, I find these three toys most interesting. The Italian Leather Paddle (170€) does not only look interesting, I imagine that the texture of the woven leather has an interesting impact sensation. At 50cm overall length it should be long enough to hit both ass cheeks at the same time yet the blade it thin enough to hit intricate spots. Second is their Italian Leather Single (185€) which is an is basically an dragon tongue directly attached to a handle. This is an actually very intuitive design which I have not yet seen at other kink stores and which intrigues me how well it handles as a toy! Last but not least or their riding crops (starting at 155€). Having a riding crop sticking in your boot shaft is a very classic leather look and a nifty thing to have because it it easily accessible if you need to discipline your sub without dangling around hanging from your belt. The exclusive design of the handle and shaft makes their riding crops stand out and are truly an accessory adding to the appeal of a leather uniform. The riding crops come in interesting color configurations like red leather slappers. But I am sure you can get a traditional all black design too on request.

Example of the Slagwerk exclusive Limited Edition

If you really want to treat your dom (I don’t think subs are the main market for their toys), they offer limited editions in even more exclusive configurations. On these toys the stainless steel is gold plated and the handle lining is made out of exotic hides. The top of the line is a solid gold handle flogger adorn with five diamonds. Considering the weight and low stiffness of gold, I am not sure how usable such a toy will be but for the rich kinkster who has EVERYTHING, it might just be the Christmas gift to get.

Sadly I have not yet had a chance to play with their toys. Looking at the designs and material being used, the impact sensation seems to be on the intenser and stingier side of the spectrum. If you are a kinkster coming to Easter Berlin and bring Slagwerk toys with you, please get in touch. I would love to see, try and experience if the handling and quality lives up to their extraordinary design.

ToyTorture’s Stocking Stuffer I – Josh Herman X Harnesses

The Josh Herman X Fullbody Grant Harness

Hurry up perverts! Since Christmas Eve is on a Sunday this year, we have the shortest possible per-Christmas season in Germany because the fourth Advent Sunday is Christmas Eve. Thus there will only be three gift tips this year! So without further ado let’s jump right into it.

What to gift a kinkster who has everything? Accessories – or more precisely – a harness. They are the perfect piece of gear for hard play allowing the top to move around freely, giving him something to grab the sub and they make every hot guy even hotter. Sadly some leather makers fashion their designs and cuts only for twinks or average sized guys. Many members of our community are beefier and heavier build and simply scaling up cut does not do the trick! Josh Herman celebrates this body type with harnesses and accessories designed with thick guys in mind. Naturally his designs also fit average guys but if you have struggled to find a properly fitting harness, check him out.

The Bulldog Harness & Armband both with the Stirrup Grip

He features all the classic designs from Bulldog (starting $149.99) at  over Shoulder ($149.99) and Stampede ($174.99) to Grant Fullbody (starting at $174.99) – with an option to either directly attach the harness to a cockring or with little carabiners at the end so it works as suspenders. The Bulldog and the Grant Fullbody harness can be ordered with a so called Stirrup handle. This is a stirrup-like leather look riveted and sown onto the chest-traversing strap. It is the perfect addon if you want to get pulled closer.

The standard range of his leather is black, red, olive, blue and caramel. But judging from the pics on his social media he might be open to custom work in your favorite hanky color. You can either choose a solid color, have a contrast colored piping or just have the handle in a different color.

Josh Herman X’s Fullbody Stampede Harness

If you don’t want to invest into an entire harness, Josh Herman also offer smaller accessories like arm bands ($24.99) which can add a nice touch of color to an outfit or let you flag your favorite hanky in leather style. What especially intrigued me were the Stirrup Leather Arm Bands ($75) which add the niftiness of the stirrup grip to the biceps so you have something to hold onto while railing your bottom HARD. I wonder if he would also make them in thigh size.

Every year I get many questions from thicker guys where to buy gear. And to my surprise I have never noticed one of this unique leather pieces in Europe. So hopefully this gift tips helps you get a harness the makes you feel even sexier than you already are!

Desiderate: Textured Bad Dragon Toys

Seraphina his Signature Color

Those who have been following this little website right from the start – soon it will be 11 years, wow! – are familiar with Desiderates. In these posts I talk about toys I do not – yet – own and haven’t tested yet but find so interesting that I talk about why I find them tempting.

Due to personal reasons this Anal Toy Special is taking longer to finish than I anticipated. But it will be finished in two weeks. Since I started it, so many interesting new textured toys have entered the market that in the next few weeks I will post Desiderates on Friday on new toys I might review in the future.

Seraphina’s Siganture’s Glow in the Dark

We will start off with Bad Dragon who apparently has a new designer! Because so many great textured toys have been released recently. And since I am a sucker for texture, I will start of with this legendary brand.

I start off with the most extreme toy: Seraphina. It is an equine inspired toy so it is not for novices. The glans appeared to be a bit domed, encouraging the second sphincter to open up. But the glans rim is textured with bumps and ridges. Instead of one medial ring, Seaphina features three perpendicular ones. And for good measure there is a knot on the base. Laterally the shaft is also texture with veins so twisting this toy inside you will also be stimulating. But all this texture will make the toy hard aka interesting aka horny to take when you have the experience. It will be interesting to see how this toy works in medium firmness. Especially on the second sphincter the texture must be intense but being a depth toy, it will most likely not stand up in soft. I guess a thorough review is in order. Seraphina’s Signature color is a four color glow in the dark marble and as a GitD fan so I am already sold on that!

Slater in his Signature Color

The next on the decreasing intensity scale is Slater which reminds me a bit of Apollo, my first ever Bad Dragon toy. It is basically three bulbs/ knots stacked on top of each other with the top sphere tapering to a tip. So far so standard. But over the body meander several ridged of bumps in different heights and diameters. It will be an interesting toy to ride I can imagine it will shine the most being twisted inside your rectum by a top. Again, not sure if to get it in soft for a brushing or medium for an intense massage. In firm, Slater is probably going to be brutal!

Abyss in his Natural Colo

Abyss has a very particular design: A small nubby glans on top for easy entry – placed on a stumplike plateau shaft. There will be a lot of pre-stretching necessary to take him. The shaft is textured with thin grooves on lateral ridges and a scale-like texture on the ventral grove promising again to be a fun toy for twisting and turning. Personally I find the layout a bit creepy so not sure if I want Abyss in my playroom. But his Natural color has a nice Glow in the Dark effect so this might convince me.

Tempest’s Signature’s Glow in the Dark

Tempest looks like the tamer brother of Abyss. With a nice untextured and evenly tapering glans he will open your hole up easily. Once the glans pops in with the big glans drop the shaft is again textured with grooves and scales. But they are not as deep as on Abyss and lack the lateral ridges. Like his extremer brother Tempest Signature has a simple yet beautiful Glow in the Dark coloring.

Echo’s Horn’s Signature’s Glow in the Dark

The final toy in this little list is Echo’s Horn which I thought was a rhino horn but had to learn it belongs to a Snow Strider (sorry, the furry and anthroscene is not my strong side). It has the shape of a rhino’s horn so evenly opens up your hole. The entire shaft is texture with shallow perpendicular grooves making it the perfect toy for riding vigorously, fucking your anus into orgastic oblivion. Surprisingly both Echo’s Horn Natural and Signature colors are Glow in the Dark. While the Natural is just a solid color of the shaft in Natural both shaft and base feature an artic blue core over which the ridges glow in aqua blue giving him a very cool design. If not for play, you can use Echo’s Horn as a beautiful silicone sculpture for door stopping (guys importing BDs know what I am talking about).

New Slubb Power Unit

Von | | ,
Ein Kommentar

The New Slubb Power Unit

Vendor: Slubb

When Slubb launched their product, I am probably one of the first guys who got and then reviewed their innovative toy. Having focused on developing the milking attachment itself, they first sold it with an Einhell oscillating multi-tool (which I reviewed in the original test). Now they introduced their own power unit which I am going to take a look at here – exactly two years afterI reviewed  the original unit.

Design

The new power unit comes in nicely branded box (which I intended to safe for pictures but misplaced…). Inside is the power unit, the lithium ion battery, the charger, a hex key for installing the Slubb and two manuals. One for the machine used as an actual power tool (probably included for legal reasons) and as a power unit for the Slubb.

The new Power Controll Dial

At 280mm overall length and roughly measuring 51x55mm at the point where you hold the toy, it is around the standard size of an oscillating multi-tool and about the same size as the Einhell predecessor. It is comfortable to grip for people with medium sized hands and upwards. Petit hands will have to invest some effort.

At 953g ready-to-play it is a whopping 123g heavier than the Einhell. If you put the power unit into a stand (like a Manfrotto Superclamp or a bicycle repair holder) this doesn’t matter. There is also a screw in the bottom of the head you can use to attach the unit to a holder. But if you manually move it up and down the dick for a stroking stimulation, the wrist can get tired quickly! At least if you edge and milk for hours like me…

The Heavy Duty Metal Head

The head of the unit is made out of die-cast aluminum. This makes it a bit head-heavy but also gives it a very quality feel! If it falls, it will not get damaged easily!

On the old Einhell unit a screw in the easy-to-turn power dial prevented you from going to too high settings. On this unit the power dial is a bit harder to turn. This is a great improvement because you can now more finely and slowly adjust the intensity. At 3° oscillation angle and a theoretically oscillation frequency between 5,000 and 19,000 oscillations per minute the unit is a bit more powerful than the old one. Without a limiter, you can turn the power up all to 6 bit my recommendation is to stay below 3 with is rough 10,000 oscillations per minute. Anything higher feels uncomfortable and requires lots all well applied lube.

Depending on the intensity, it can get quite loud. Around setting 3 I got 82db which considerably louder than the old Einhell. Bit since the old unit was not quite by any standard, I don’t really complain. If you want a “quite” unit, you have to enter professional spheres with big three digit price tags. The intensity also determines how long the machine runs. I got around on hour of play out of it with a factory new battery and the battery takes an hour to charge.

The Mounting of the Slubb to the Power Unit

Playing with the Slubb

In the handling, nothing has changed compared to the old model: Once it is attached to the power unit, adjust the loop that is it one hole larger than the circumference of the dick, apply ample silicone lube on the rubber strap and the dick and start the engines. There is no specific place where to apply the Slubb. The sensation is felt most strongly on the glans/ frenulum but moving up and down the shaft has its own interesting sensation. The more you get up the shaft, the stronger the vibrations are felt.

Like the old power unit, the new one made the rounds among my testees. It still made people with erectile dysfunction cum because you do not need a hard dick to experience the sensations of the Slubb. It’s also still the perfect tool to get another orgasm out of a well-used dick. And if you have a big dick, the 220mm length of the Slubb should be large enough to give pleasure where milking sleeves of massagers are too constraining. And since the Slubb is attached using a screw, it does not come off unlike massager sleeves. For a more detailed look, check out the review of the original Slubb.

The Slubb should only be used with silicone lube for two reasons. First, silicone lube lasts longer so you do not have to relube ever 3 to 5 minutes as I tested with water-based lube. Second, the silicone oil in the lube maintains the rubber. Cleaning of the Slubb is easy: Unscrew, bath in warm soap water, dry and you are ready to go again.

Battery inside the New Charger

In the construction chapter I wrote that I tend to edge and milk for hours. At least as long as the battery lasts. Preferring the up and down movement on my well-lubed glans and shaft, I have to hold the power unit in my hand. The unit gets noticeable warm. Not dangerously hot but very warm. These tools are not designed to be used continuously for extended periods of time. So you might run into an overheating shutdown like I once did. If you want to use it for hours, you have to get a really high-end pro unit with a power cord for several hundreds of Euros. For most sexual a consumer unit like this one is sufficient. But if you are a power-milker, hardcore edger or a pro-dom you should see if other power unit options fit you better. Though still out of the box, this power unit is still good for a long, satisfying and intense milking and edging.

Conclusion: Effective and merciless milking tool if used on the right power unit.
Pro Cons Where to get Price
Strong vibration transmission Heavy Slubb with Power Tool 146,90€
Gets very warm over time
Merciless milking possible
Does not come off during play
Easy to clean

Mako & Tiger Agitation Collar

The 3“ Agitation Collar from Mako & Tiger

Sometimes I get the question if I knew toys to really HANDLE a sub. Especially in the aggro and prison play scene there is a demand for toys to grab the bottom/ brat/ resisting switcher or top and drag him to his knees, the dick or hold him down while destroying his ass. For this kind of scenes even a short leash will not do it because it has too much slack. There used to be a few gags with a grip in front but teeth are surprisingly frailer than you might expect. So they weren’t the best idea.

Collars with a handle have long been popular in dog training but to my surprise have not been adopted wildly into the kink world. One model that comes with high praise from friends but I have not yet had a chance to try out myself is the Agitation Collar from Mako & Tiger. When I studied in the USA some 9 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Mako. He’s a heavy (bondage) player and thus knows how high quality gear needs to be designed for heavy scenes.

The Agitation Collars can be Locked using a Pad or a Segufix Lock

The body of this collar is made out of thick and sturdy bridle leather. Depending on the version it is either 50mm or 75mm tall. The latter can probably double a bit as a posture collar. The inside is lined with padding wrapped in soft garment leather for a comfortable fit. For quick and easy shackling the collar is adjusted and closed with a roller buckle. For secure collaring this piece of neck gear can be locked and comes with a Segufix option.

But the piece de resistance is the wide handle in the back of the collar. It is made out of the same bridle leather but friends who have been using this collar for quite some time now told me that is it treated with mink oil and thus comfortable to hold onto. My friends also tell me that the draft is distributed evenly even when tugging on the collar with force. The same should also apply when a leash is attached to the big d-ring which is laterally placed below the handle.

The Handle and D-Ring on the 3“ Agitation Collar

These are big claims which I look forward to test in a review in some point in time. This curiosity especially applies to the fact that there are no rivets used to construct this collar. Everything is “just” sown together which if done well is sufficient. I have already a heavily resisting bottom in mind to try this gear out on.

But for the moment I trust the recommendation I get from experienced, heavy duty players I have known for years. So when you are in the market for a strong, heavy duty collar with a grip to handle your sub, check out the Agitation Collar from Mako & Tiger. At $350 for the 2’’ version and $450 for the 3’’ version they are not inexpensive but from what I have been told worth every cent as gear that will last you for years of heavy play.

What to Gift ToyTorture?

Roll call! Who wants to get me something for my birthday? Nobody? Well, if anyone should change their mind, you still have six weeks to get me something 😉

The House of Bascanio Padded & Locking M5 Muzzle

Seriously, question I get asked most in online chats or conversations in bars or clubs is “You have tested everything! Is there any sex or kink toy you still need or want?” The easy part first: Need? Most certainly not! As much as I am fascinated by cleverly designed kink toys, with a bag of pervertables I can recreate the same effect though not the feeling! But because I am fascinated by cleverly designed kink toys there is a neverending lists of toys I would love to add to my collection. The selection is highly subjective because these are the toys I find personally intriguing without considering review requests. Before I write my top 5ish toys, please note: I could write an entire volume of anal toys I want. So I am leaving these toys out.

The Many, Many D-rings on the M5 Muzzle

House of Bascanio M5 Muzzle

If you have been following my bondage reviews you know, the only thing that is better than a D-ring are MOAR D-rings. The M5 Muzzle takes this to the max. How many D-rings can you fit on a head? Apparently the answer is “At least 15!” Are those all necessary? Most certainly not! Judging from my experience, 9 is the max to get the same level of fettering. Maybe even 7 are enough. But who cares? The ingenuity and craftsmanship that have cumulated into the creation into this unique piece of bondage gear in combination with the thick padding make me want to add this muzzle to my collection and put on CERTAIN subs (you know who you are).

Since the M5 Muzzle is such an extravagant piece of bondage gear, I am actually unsure about the design. Would I like it two-tone with red padding? Or just black with red stitching? But I guess in the end the practical pervert  in me would win and go for an all black I can easily clean and treat with black leather oil.

The Mr S Leather Savage Sucks Hood

And apparently my personal taste coincides with you, my reader’s taste. Looking at my little Excel sheet there are literally hundreds of review requests for this toy. So gifting me the toys would be kind of a public service.

Mr S Leather Savage Sucks and Asylum Hood

The Savage Sucks is the perfect addition to the M5 Muzzle! Dehumanizes the wearer, turn him into a multi-layer leather gimp. And if you need his tongual service, unlock the muzzle, let him serve and lock his mouth up again.

The Mr S Leather Asylum Hood

Being perforated it also is the perfect piece of gear for all those subs of me who wants or need to be anonymous. To shatter a common misconception: Even dom tops enjoy the occasional endorphin rush of being handled and played with. Sadly due to Fans-sites their livelihood depends on their image of being pure dom sadists and thus cannot be seen in public riding the pleasurable waves of pain and degradation. A perforated hood they can see through but nobody can see their face would be a great tool for those special Quälgeist visits.

To break with my rule of only five toys, here is another piece of Mr S headgear which I’d love (or hate) to have: The Asylum Hood. Hoods have never been my favorite kind of toy. I simply love to see faces react to induced sensations, lick sweat of the neck of have my ears nibbled. But I also like to have my head played with while intricate things are done. That’s why I love the Asylum Muzzle so much (along with the Bishop Head Harness). A full hood with the same features would be awesome! Just the thought of having soft, rich smelling leather hug my skull while the top adjust the many roller buckles is giving me a boner!

The Only Rubber Catsuite I would Consider

Regulation Streak Side Panel Catsuit

This item is a shocker: Fetish GEAR on ToyTorture.com? A rubber cat suit for ToyTorture? Especially a neck entry one?!

Calm down! Let me explain. Yes, to be honest: Full coverage does not do much for me. For me the tension of natural skin meeting artificial rubber is a very strong kink! Thus black cat suits are just boring for me. Especially should entry ones with their smooth chest. But a guy needs options and should broaden his horizon. So I might give a rubber cat suit a try with this one.

Maybe accessorize with the rubber bulldog harness, biceps restraints for added texture, a nice pair of sneakers and Rubber@Easter LAB can come. Naturally I would choose a black suit with red panels and strips to really pop when I am lying in the dark in the wellness hammock.

Small and Evil – The Fetters Headtrap

Since I am a Blackstyle Medium, what should I choose with Regulation?

Fetters Headtrap

Why this toy is so great, I have already written in the Christmas gift tip. Why I need this toy is easy: My playroom only looks big. With the slopes of the roof it actually has a very small usable footprint. So I need toys and furniture to make the best out of the space.

And for the Headtrap I have already found the perfect spot to store it in between use – or to store my sub away. Sadly, I have not yet had a chance to play with this piece of bondage furniture personally. But from the looks of it, it can probably easily been turned into a spanking horse. Or for party situation, it would be a perfect parking sport for the designated piss gimp.

A Basket of Oxballs Toys

In the past year, Oxballs has released so many great toys I am dying to add to my collection. But  before we come to those:

Oxballs, release the Ergo Plug Monster – NOW! I volunteer as a production sample testee!

The Oxballs Pig-Hole Squeal – Big and Textured, just what I like

In all seriousness: The shape of the Ergo Plug always looked tempting but even in its largest size, it was too small for most ass pigs. The first time I have heard about a Monster size to be in development was in late July/ early August of 2020. Sadly, developing new molds for silicone toys is not as easy as one might think. So cognitively I can understand why it took so long. But anally I crave to get stuFFed with this toy, so I hope Oxballs releases it rather sooner than later. And in rather firmer than softer silicoen.

The Matching Airhole Plug – More Texture

Speaking of soft silicone: The Pig-Hole Squeal and Airhole Plug. The first in black, the latter in red. Perfect combination for a texture junkie like me! And would be a much needed addition to my collection of six Oxballs tunnel plugs. I have already cleared the space in my toy shelve for three new Oxballs anal toys so I am waiting.

If you have been following this website since its earlieast beginnings in the fall of 2012 you know how much love I have had for ball stretching toys. Especially from Oxballs! Stretchers, stackers, slings, splitters – you name it. I have it, I love them. Or rather loved them. Having lost my left testicle last summer and waiting for getting a prosthesis some time this summer, I don’t know if I will ever love these toys like I have before.

… and the matching Vibration Bullets

So these toys represent hope for me! Hope that my beloved lowhangers will look and at least in the hands of another man feel the same! Hope that with their weight the skin will extend again despite the big scar and make my junk as bulky again as it was yesteryear.

The Squeeze is one of my fav ball stratchers because it combines tug with stretch. Adding weights to it or vibration? Count me in!

Is it a ball stretcher? Is it a parachute? It is both!

But I might need some training until I can fit the Squeeze again and here the Tug comes in. I already loved Oxballs Slung though it was a bit cumbersome to put on. This looks better, more fun and screams for “Put me on while lying in a sling, connect me to a thread above the spread bar and let a weight dangle!” This is very specific for my playroom layout but since this is my personally wish list, I shamelessly force my fantasies on you!

 

So much for my dream gifts for what we in Germany call half-round birthday. Let’s see what I will be unwrapping Friday morning in six weeks.
