Review: DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Heart Slapper Paddle

From: Lovehoney.com / Lovehoney.co.uk

As my personal subs know, in addition to being a loving Domme, I can also be a silly romantic. I'm a sucker for rose and heart-shaped toys, so I jumped at the chance when Lovehoney gave me the opportunity to review this heart-cutout slapper.

First, this is a slapper. Saying that it's a "slapper paddle" is technically redundant, but helpful for those who aren't familiar with the term. Basically, slappers are used like paddles, but they are specifically designed to make a louder sound when they hit. A slapper has two layers of leather (sometimes more) that are not joined together.

The additional layer catches the air, creating a loud "slap" when it lands that often sounds much worse than it actually is. On traditional slappers, the back layer of leather is often split into multiple strips and only the front side is used for hitting. Other designs feature holes or multiple strips of leather of varying lengths.

The advantage of this slapper is that it is designed so that either side can be used for hitting...

and, with a little practice, the cutout will leave a mark with a heart-shaped center on your target! ;-)

Like any good slapper, it has a satisfying sound, but the cutout and heavy leather give it a nice sting as well.

This product is shipped in a plain plastic bag with no unnecessary packaging, however there isn't a label specifying materials or the country of origin. I was a little disappointed when I opened the plastic bag, because I'd read that it has a strong leather smell. However, mine smelled of chemicals. It's been sitting out of the bag off-gassing for about three weeks, and now the leather smell is starting to come through if I really sniff it. I asked Lovehoney, and they told me that it is made in Poland, using Italian Leather.

The slapper is unlined and the handle is the only stitched area on the slapper. Reinforced with wood*, rather than metal, it fits nicely in the hand, and includes a knotted leather tie for hanging.

* The reinforcement is round, like a wooden dowel, rather than the rectangular shape shown in some of the pics on the Lovehoney website.

Speaking of the website, Lovehoney also offers this DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Heart Paddle (UK Link), and together they would make a lovely set.

DOMINIX is Lovehoney's luxury bondage line. While these are better made and in line with what you would find on a serious BDSM site, I wouldn't call this particular item "luxurious". However, it is a cute slapper that will definitely leave it's mark.

Personally, I'd love to have the matching paddle to make the set. *hint* *hint*

Taste the Love, Honey!

I'm working on my e-books again, and I've decided to select Lovehoney.co.uk as my suggested UK source for basic cock rings and other items for my assignments.

They come highly recommended by my UK boys and it looks like they are becoming a good option for buying sex toys in the US as well. They don't have the handcrafted leather and metal items like Stockroom.com, but they do offer light bondage and SM toys like whips and paddles, the CB-x000 line of chastity devices, Aneros prostate massagers and more.

They offer excellent customer service, including free Royal Mail shipping in the UK and free Priority Mail shipping in the US with free returns for up to a year, even if an item has been used! Let's not talk about how many Rabbits I wear out in a year!

Their October specials include:





Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Erotica, Romance...

You might remember that this time last year, I had my Written Punishments assistant, johnj, write out copies of Madonna's "Hanky Panky" - after all every boy needs a little "spanky" for his birthday! This year, I've decided to start with "Erotica". In preparing his assignment, I found this rather yummy video.

Enjoy!!!

Chat with Me on Ingenio

Do you want to talk to someone about D/s, female-led relationships, male submission, being a sissy, crossdressing, chastity or another kink?

Are you trying to find a way to tell your girlfriend or wife about your interests?

Maybe She has questions?

Or maybe you just need to talk to a strong, caring woman who understands and has experience with a boy or gurl like you?


Don't want to have to call a phone sex site to do it? That's okay, I'm not sure if I want to be listed on one!

I set up the Niteflirt account years ago, but I primarily use it for calls with boys who had already been emailing/tweeting with me, and to send written assignments, like those that I have for puppies. I've rarely just logged in as available because I'm not interested in being used by 1 minute wankers.

I want boys and gurls who really want to talk to me so that I can get to know them and vice versa. After all, the more I understand you, the more I am able to get inside your head and find the places that we both enjoy!

Recently, I have had some great calls from a couple different crossdressers and sissies on Niteflirt, who I'm growing closer to with every call. (And, yes, that is "the pantyboy" in the picture - dressed in lingerie that I bought him!) So I've been making myself a bit more available there. However, if you are interested in talking to me, especially when I'm offline, it's best to email me first to see if I'm around for a call (ForMistressMagick *at* yahoo *dot* com), because I might be interested in talking to you, but not in the mood to be available for just anyone who calls.

Niteflirt used to have a system by which a caller could ask to schedule an appointment, which gave me a lot more control over who and when I spoke to callers. I also know that many of you would like to call me just to talk - for advice and support. And some of you would like to have someone that your wife or girlfriend could talk to.

So I've set up a listing on another site, Ingenio, that allows scheduled appointments and even Instant Messages. This is an advice site where you can talk to doctors, lawyers, mechanics, plumbers, etc. It is not an Adult site. In fact, if some guy calls me there and is obviously a wanker, I have to tell him that it isn't that kind of site, or I could be kicked off the site myself. It has a lot more features, and I'm more likely to be logging in there. I can even set it to let me know if someone wants to talk with me and find out how long you can wait so that I can log in while I'm working on other things and take the call after I am finished. It's so much more civilized! And the way that a real Domme should be treated.

Use the buttons below to IM or me via Ingenio. If you are new to the site, you will get free minutes and I'll get a bonus for referring you. I'll also give you more free minutes as a thank you for helping me test it out.

Since I'm just getting started there and don't have any feedback yet, I've set the per minute rate really low so it's the perfect time to call - especially if you've always wanted to hear my voice. :-)


            

Remember: this is an advice site, NOT a PSO Site, so behave yourself!

If we are talking and you moaning and breathing heavy, want me to describe my feet, share a fantasy or tell you what to wear, you need to ask permission to call me on Niteflirt instead. Understood?

Keira Knightley Portrays a Beautiful, Strong, Intelligent Masochist in "A Dangerous Method"

Ever since I saw a preview of A Dangerous Method in my favorite local independent movie theater, I've wanted to see it. I finally rented it from Redbox - yes, Redbox!, and it was well worth the wait - and a couple extra nights rental. It's not a kink movie, but if you are interested in psychology, sex, love, relationships and kink, it puts them all together into a very interesting package.

Directed by David Cronenberg and based on both the book, A Most Dangerous Method, and the play, The Talking Cure, it is just as much about Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley), one of the first female psychoanalysts, as it is about Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender) and Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen), and their relationships with each other.

Sabina is portrayed as a masochist who gets extremely turned on by humilation, as well as on being spanked, strapped, etc. A strong, intelligent woman and an aspiring doctor, she is quite literally "all twisted up" when we meet her. Jung is first her doctor, then her mentor and finally her lover. The intimate scenes between them are as beautiful and sensual as they are kinky, and she is far from submissive... if anything, he is servicing her.

I must admit that I'm still wondering if those are really her perky, little nipples peeking out from her corset. ;-)

I've included the kinkier and more sexual international version of the trailer below for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
