World of Latex

It was arranged to have a demo of Latex and how it can be used in the bedroom. It was an interesting experience and as much as the girls liked it, something that really didn’t surprise anyone, it is something that I will enjoy watching.  Much like the other kink that I have been exposed to, it is not something that I could do.

Lexxi had met a lady who is very knowledgeable about the product and its uses.  She arranged to have it demoed in her home on Sunday so that we all can see what benefits.  I will have to say over the two hours plus I learned a lot.  Lets begin with like any kink there are risks.  Once covered on how to identify and make sure that there are no complications we proceeded to get setup.  I was more intrigued by the setup of the latex vacuum bed on how it operated.  Then again that is me, liking to know how things work.

So the bed is very simple.  It was home made with a latex bag and a hole for the head with PVC piping for the frame..  With the rectangle pvc frame you slip the latex bag over it and then attach vacuum at the end.  The pvc piping has holes to suck the air out once the person is inside and the bag sealed.  The person manuevers into the bag with the assistance of baby powder (another added bonus you smell great after) and then pop your head through the whole.  Once settled they seal the bag and then vacuum the air out.  I have to say watching the air get sucked out is very cool, as the latex shrinks and conforms to the body.  I could probably watch that over and over again.

Now that you are vacuumed in you are unable to move.  I was not able to try it since I do have a small issue with restraints that if I feel I can’t get free I will panic.  Has not happened often but since I didn’t want to experience that type of panic I passed on trying the bag.  Everyone else did in our quad, yes even Numbnutts.  It was funny see a dick pop through the head hole, typical for him to have it pop out at any point it can.

So here is the interesting part of the whole experience.  With latex now being covering the whole body makes the sensation different.  What I mean is that if you are to hit someone with a flogger, the displacement of energy over latex is spread out.  You will still feel it but not to the same degree if you didn’t have the latex barrier.  It was amazing to watch Numbnutts wail on the participant and they didn’t even really react like they normally would if they were being hit on bare skin. Don’t get me wrong, you can still feel it but with the displacement of energy you lose about 2/3 of the typical impact. Additionally the techniques of using air and ice also made the participant react.  If you are into sensory play this is definitely something that you would want to consider and try out.

Explanation of the dangerous and warning signs were clear through out the whole process.  Primarily with the restriction being applied there is concern about blood pressure and liquids.  Being restraint by a barrier will make you thirsty since you are not able to sweat like you normally do.  The differential between the body and head is also another issue, since the body reacts to the sensation of being constricted.  Like any restraint activity awareness of everyone involved is very important.  The participant may not know what that they are in danger so always make sure to be observant at all times of the person in the bed.

So after this we then discussed mummification which is something I recently experienced to a small degree.  Krystalla had wrapped her naked torso in saran wrap when I came home one night last week.  It was different and I was curious about it.  So we had a demo of how this works.  With the man naked she proceeded to wrap him in saran wrap.  As she progressed she explained the dangers as well as how to do it properly.  I have to say I will never look at packing a skid of computers the same again.  It is different from latex simply because it is a more of a cocoon.  The participant is basically wrapped up tight, almost like swaddling a baby.  The play is similar to latex although the one difference is that with saran wrap you are able to use sharp objects. Latex is a rubber like material so anything that could poke a hole is not allowed.  Unless you want to keep repairing the bag.  Also there are other things you can not use with latex since it is a porous material so anything that has chemicals you have to make sure it is latex safe.  If I was to try to recap everything that was discussed during this demo regarding what can be used I would be lying if I said I remember everything.  We covered a lot and I am surprised on how much I do remember after the session.

Back to mummification, it was a very different experience compared to latex.  The sensation is different since you are being basically tied up with a plastic sheeting.  Also sweating is a major thing since the sheeting is prohibiting your body from sweating.  This also means recovery time is different as well.  The body reacts differently with the constriction so unlike the latex bed you recover fairly quickly, with mummification you need more time.  Watching the demo between both gave me a strong understanding on how it affects the participants and helps me understand the applications for each.

Will I use this?  To be honest, when I was offered a flogger to play with the participant I declined.  It does nothing for me, but watching it was entertaining.  I could see myself more involved with helping the participant being put into the bed then actually the one playing.  As to mummification, I think that it would be something I would do but not full body.  Not something that really interests Krystalla but it can be fun to wrap a vibrator to her pussy and secure it with wrap.

This is the main points that we covered during our session.  We also discussed latex clothing as well which I was not aware on how much you can do with it.  Masks, skirts, corsets, pants, shorts, bathing suits and banana hammocks are some of the things we discussed.  I don’t see myself wearing anything like this but it was fascinating to realize what you can obtain for clothing.

Thanks Lexxi for arranging this.  It was an experience that I really enjoy watching.  Learning more about the kink that is out there helps me understand.  With this knowledge it also lets me appreciate why people do what they do.  If to look hot or to be put into a vacuum bed it allows me to understand.  And that is one of the biggest steps that is needed when walking into the world of kink.
