Last night I published the set of pics of me playing in my fishnet catsuit…you know, the ones I mentioned last week?  Anyhow, they came out so damn good that I just had to share another one with ya’ll…

  Join me now to see the whole set, including some fine shots of me plunging my brand-new 10″ chocolate dildo into my juicy wet puss!

p.s.  There’ll be a video coming along next week as well…

So I have the local news channel running in the background and there’s a story about a local man arrested for “kiddy porn”. The video shows a shot of an anonymous uniformed officer toting out a plastic bag full of videocassettes. Now I don’t know anything about the details of this case, and I would not presume to pass judgement on it unless I were called to do so in a jury, but this image struck me.

In that split second of video, this man is convicted in the eye of the viewer…but what’s really on those videocassettes in the bag? Film of an eight year old getting raped…or half a dozen Max Hardcore and Girls Gone Wild tapes? Because listen up folks, those are the kinds of things the government is trying to define as “kiddy porn”. (Click here and here if you don’t believe me) And if you get convicted with something like this your name goes on the big internet list of sex offenders, and your address gets published to concerned parents, and you are just as subject to assault by save-the-children vigilantes as the guy who raped an eight year old.

Am I saying that we ought to all go out and start having sex with teenagers? No, of course not. What I’m saying is that it’s unnatural and harmful to act as if adolescent sexuality - including the potential for teens to have sexual feelings toward adults and vice versa - is a hideous crime. We are doing our children no favors by wrapping them in the cotton-wool of infancy at a time when they need to be learning to be adults, to make adult decisions about things like sex and relationships.

I recently received the Berman Center’s Venus Waterproof Silicone G-spot Vibe from the friendly folks over at Wetegg.com, and I knew from the first time I used it that it was destined to be a favorite.  It’s quiet.  It’s powerful.  It’s exceedingly well designed, made of hygenically superior 100% silicone, and it’s even pretty nice to look at. 

I was entertained on first opening the box by the fact that this vibe comes with its own gauzy, beribboned storage bag…oh so femme!  And even more entertained on beholding the illustrated usage instructions cleverly hidden inside the front cover of the box.  Remember those cross-sectional diagrams they used to show us when we got to the sex ed portion of health class?  I never expected to find them residing on the packaging of my sex toys, lol!

But I suppose there are some women out there who are that unfamiliar with their own bodies…and that much in need of instructions on how to pleasure themselves…that the illustrated instructions I giggled over might actually be useful to someone else.  And I think the inclusion of these instructions (as well as friendly touches like the storage bag) would make this a highly suitable first toy for an inexperienced female masturbator.

For this experienced masturbator, what initially drew me to the vibe was the 100% silicone material and the smoothly bent g-spot seeking tip.  I also liked that it’s a little oversized, at about 9″ long there’s plenty to slide inside while still leaving enough outside to maintain a firm grip.  I was a little concerned that the raised ridges would be irritating, as so many of the “textured for her pleasure” toys are for me, but I found that the ridges are actually very well designed.  They’re big enough to give a noticable feeling of extra girth but not so big as to rub me the wrong way, and their placement is just right for giving a little extra stimulation where it counts - just inside the opening of the vagina.  There is only one thing I would change about this vibe:  the on/off switch is a push button on the bottom of the unit, which is great for one-handed operation but limits the vibration speeds to two settings.  Since I tend to think the motors in these things vibrate too strongly I usually prefer a more minutely adjustable dial type switch, but really this is just nit-picking.

I’ve used my new Venus vibe half a dozen times now, in various positions, and I have found it to be most satisfying.  It’s good for clitoral stimulation; it’s good for thrusting penetration; it’s good for holding inside my puss with my heel while I furiously rub my clit with my fingers; it’s just plain good.  I believe this could be THE vibe that helps me in reaching my New Year’s resolution goal of learning to squirt.  I have absolutely no hesitation in giving this one a big thumbs up.

We didn’t take nearly as many pictures as I’d hoped, but the ones we took were pretty darn good…

{the previous post was written two days ago, but I hit the “save” button instead of “publish” :-p}

Sure enough, things continued to go awry.  Our car - which we’ve had for four years and which has never given us any trouble until recently - starts behaving badly again.  Our little boy comes down with some kind of virus, he (and therefore mommy) is up all night with a fever & vomiting.  And just as soon as he starts feeling better his sister comes down with it.  Arrrgh!

We left the kids with their Grandmas all day anyhow, and managed to take three good photo sets (with videos), but that’s a far cry from the 20 or so sets I planned on doing this week.  I’ve got an outdoor shoot planned for Thursday morning and (if we’re lucky and nothing more goes wrong) we may get a set or two done here at the house, but there’s no way I will come out of this week with enough content to do two exclusive updates a week through Thanksgiving.  *sigh*

So Sgt. and I are checked in to a nearby hotel for three nights to take pics for Chateau Cherie.  Day one, Sgt has to drop me off at the hotel (where I have a live session scheduled), and immediately scurry back home to do dinner, bath, and bedtime with the kids.  When he arrives back after 11pm, he’s so tired (I’d already fallen asleep) that no photos get taken.

Day two, we’d planned to make an early start of it and do a couple of sets before the live session I have scheduled at lunchtime.  This gets interrupted by a call from Grandma…my son refuses to get dressed and misses the bus, which means we have to drive back home, get him together, and ferry him to school.  Fortunately for my sanity he consented to dress as soon as Grandma told him Mom & Dad were coming home, and walked into the school with perfect docility (unlike the day last week when I had to chase him down in the parking lot and drag him inside).  I’m on the verge of tears the whole trip, thinking about how much work I’ve put into my website, how very badly I want it to succeed, and how impossible that seems at the moment, when I can’t seem to find a few uninterrupted hours to take pictures.

We get back at the hotel around 10:30…my client is due at 11:30, so no pics this morning either.  And since we have to be back home again this afternoon by three, and won’t get away until after nine, likely no pics today at all.  Again.  That leaves tomorrow, and I can only pray that we won’t be interrupted again by a call from Grandma - or worse, the school.

I try really, really hard to make the best quality porn I can…I put my heart & soul and every spare penny (because believe me, six signups a month is not anywhere near paying for what it costs to run a paysite, even on a shoestring budget) into it…and I’m really miserable right now about the corners I’m having to cut just to keep going.  I feel like Michelangelo, being forced to work exclusively in play-doh, on a table covered with cat hair.  I honestly don’t know if I can continue this way.

The perfect antidote to all my bitching & moaning lately, the lovely leggy Trixie:

{click the pic to see a whole gallery of naughty Trixie pics!}

The thing I love best about Trixie is that, in addition to being a gorgeous broad with truly grab-able curves, she’s one smart cookie.  Her blog is on my personal must-read list and probably half of everything I’ve learned about porn marketing so far I’ve learned from her.

I’m gonna come right out and say it:  if it weren’t for the unfortunate incident when the jelly anal screw I was using (during a cam show no less!) engaged in a painful chemical reaction with the lining of my back passage, this would be my all time least favorite toy.  At least the anal screw was a freebie; this puppy I shelled out the (to me) big bucks for - over $30!

Anyhow, I wanted a g-spot vibrator and Sue Johanson’s Royal Wave vibe looked like a friendly fellow.  I was particularly drawn by the fact that it’s silicone and I have become (thanks to the aforementioned incident with the jelly anal screw) very concerned about what my toys are made of. 

 (I prefer 100% silicone, by the way…read why here and here.)

At the time I bought it nearly a year ago it was also a very affordable toy, since then more companies have started offering silicone toys and prices have come down a bit.  This one was a complete waste of money anyway though, for one simple reason…

See that little hooked bit, underneath the bulbous head?  Think of a fish caught on a line.  NOT the sort of sensation you want in your vagina.  Getting it in is a bitch, but getting it out is even worse.  *shudder*

I tried to like this one, really I did.  I forced myself to use it half a dozen times.  I even came with it a couple of times (by using it only on my clit, or by inserting & leaving, no thrusting at all) but it was just so much of a pain to use that mostly it has sat, untouched, on the shelf in my shower.  Sure, it’s hygenically superior 100% silicone, sure it’s waterproof, with a strong & quiet motor, but who cares about all that if the toy isn’t actually any fun to use?

I suppose if all you ever wanted was something to rub your clit with and you were really, really, in love with the pretty pinkness of it this toy might be ok, but I really can’t imagine recommending it to anybody.  Even if your vag were truly vast and in need of a jumbo sized toy (which the head of this is) I would think you’d be better off going with something larger overall and without that nasty hooked bit.

To be fair, I’ve seen some of Sue Johanson’s newer designs, and they look much more fulfilling than this one.  In fact, I’m rather coveting several of them; the bright colors and organic curves make them look really fun, which is how a toy ought to look in my opinion.  But thankfully, none of them have any icky hooky bits.

I spent the morning yesterday first taking my son to get blood drawn (his first time, and he was so brave!<--proud Mommy) then ferrying him to school.  Why should this take the whole morning, you may wonder?  Well, all kids are reluctant to go to school sometimes...but how many kids have to be carried in kicking and screaming?  Knowing he's an aspie helps some - at least I know where this kind of thing is coming from - but I'm still blindsided by the behavioral results.  What do you do when the kid (remember, he's six) is so set on not going to school that he’d run blindly toward the street, seemingly unconsious of any danger, rather than go inside?  And most especially (if you’re me), what do you do when a physical impairment (seriously bad knee, thanks to a car wreck a few years ago, in case you were wondering) very literally keeps you from being able to catch him?  What I did was a) spank him in the parking lot and b) have a meltdown of my own; but I waited until after I’d finally got him as settled in as he was gonna get at school and was alone in the car on my way home.

I am really, really grateful to be working in porn on days like this.  It is such a FUCKING HUGE relief to be able…no, more than able, to be required…to spend some time doing something that’s completley and utterly removed from children.

Which is not something I could articulate to my doctor when, later that afternoon, I went in for my annual physical and somewhat shyly requested that she order a complete STD screening for me.  I am not quite to the point of being ready to do partner shoots with men other than my husband but I can see that time approaching and I want to be prepared.  Not that I wouldn’t have sex with other men; I’m just not ready to take pictures of myself doing so and publish them on the internet. 

Working in porn is, in a very literal sense, good for me.  I am far more diligent about taking care of myself thanks to this career.  I wear sunscreen, eat better, exercise more, smoke less, take much, much, much better care of my skin…there’s so many things I do that I just wouldn’t bother with if I didn’t know I was going to be on camera next week, or doing a live panty mistress session tomorrow.  So when my doctor ever-so-gently suggested that there are better ways to make a living I was pretty amused.  Maybe there are ways of making a living that are better for other people, but for me this is the ideal job.  Which is why I continue doing it even though I’m not (yet) making a living at it.

And on the good side, I got my first package from Wetegg.com yesterday too, and have spent a little time getting acquainted with my new Venus vibrator.  I will need to do lots more testing before I’m ready to write my review, but I can tell you already that this one’s destined to be a favorite.

I am delighted to announce that I have entered into a collaboation with the fine people over at wetegg.com.  Not to put too fine a point on it, they are going to send me sexy toys which I will put to the Cherie-gasm test, and report the results here for your reading pleasure.  So stay tuned for more naughty toy reviews!
