Sportsheets never lets me down. The company has such great products for couples that are looking for something in the bedroom besides toys. I am really enjoying playing with the Elastabind Corset Restraint. It is so sexy and easy to use. The waistband fits up to a size 20. The wrist cuffs are a pretty snug fit on me and I did need a little help getting the second one on. But once on, my boyfriend and I had a lot of fun with it. You can even wear it inside out as a belt to sex up any outfit. Then you are ready no matter where you are for some sexual binding fun!

I am a big fan of candy; however this Jaw Breaker Candy mouth gag from The Stockroom didn’t completely win me over. It’s very appealing to the eye and looks like a lot of fun. It could be great for someone who wants to play around with ball gags but doesn’t want to go all the way yet. Straps are PVC and come in black, red and — my favorite — pink. It’s super easy to clean and slips right through a plastic tube in the jaw breaker. The jaw breaker will fit easily in most mouths — both my boyfriend and I were able to take it. The flavor was a little too sweet for me but my boyfriend enjoyed it. This would be a sweet addition to your BDSM collection.

MSRP: $12.95

SAN FRANCISCO — Stockroom is presenting best-selling author and human sexuality educator Midori in two separate events — an open class and a weekend intensive session in San Francisco.

Midori is the author of “Wild Side Sex: The Book of Kink” from Daedalus Publishing, and “The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage.” Her seminars and workshops tend to sell out, the company said.

“People are having sex in ways their parents never dream of and they look to me as a guide to sensual adventure,” Midori said.

On March 18, Midori will present a class titled “Beyond Twisted: Kink Outside the Box,” at Stockroom’s Stormy Leather retail store at 1158 Howard St., in San Francisco. Doors open at 7 p.m. and class starts at 7:30 p.m. The class is part of the Stockroom University Educational Series.

In the class Midori will explore the standard definitions of kink roles and expand the idea of what kink is all about, mapping out a more fluid definition of kink.

“This is a class for those who don’t quite fit into standard boxes and it’s for anyone who’s curious about their own possibly untapped potential,” Midori said.

Tickets for Beyond Twisted are $20 in advance, and can either be purchased in person at the Stormy Leather store or at Stockroom.com.

San Francisco locals can take advantage of a promo Stormy is offering customers of the Howard Street location, where customers can purchase an advance ticket for $15.

Admission will be $25 at the door, if space is still available.

Stockroom also is slated to sponsor Midori in a weekend-long program of instruction and fun, the Forte Femme Sensual Dominance Intensive. Enrollment is limited to 10 women only, and the workshop will run from 7 p.m. on March 19 through Sunday, March 21 6 p.m.

“I’ve been teaching sexuality and erotic arts for over 15 years, but this ‘intensive’ is truly one of the most personal for me,” Midori said. “We appeal to women who want to be even more confident and fully own their sexuality while sharing joy with their partners.

Topics will cover pleasures from mild to wild, she said, and the course is meant to leave participants feeling empowered.

The weekend course will be held at the Hyatt Regency at San Francisco Airport. It includes a field trip to the Stormy Leather store where the women will get shopping guidance and advice from Midori and enjoy special discounts on quality BDSM gear.

Allergy-prone BDSM fans rejoice! Spartacus Leathers has released a new group of leather fetish items that feature nickel-free hardware and silicone balls.

The new hardware allows men with nickel allergies to use Spartacus’ array of cock-play products.

Silicone, a hypoallergenic material, is also many times preferred over rubber because of its many benefits. Silicone is pliable, durable and hygienic (you can clean it by boiling for up to 10 minutes or wash with water and soap — it’s even dishwasher-safe!) Spartacus’ ball gags are odorless and tasteless. They are also now equipped with a nickel-free snap-off piece of washable fabric, taking cleanliness to a whole other level.

The new hardware has been added to six of Spartacus’ products: The Oiltan C Ring, Six-Speed C Ring with Six Snaps, Multispeed Vibrating Leather C Ring, Interchangeable Dual Nitrile C Ring Set, T-Style Ball Divider — Oiltan and V-Style Ball Divider — Oiltan.

According to Spartacus President Stephen Bergquist, nickel-plated metal has been banned in many European countries for quite some time. Yikes!

I don’t know about you, but in my BDSM play I want my skin to be red from lashings not allergies.

Good looking out Spartacus.

About 20 years ago European sex toy manufacturer Rimba started taking electro massage devices used at your local chiropractor’s office to ease conditions such as lower back pain and devised them for sexual stimulation. With attachments that connect to probes that can be taken vaginally and anally or adhesive pads that will stick to breasts or whichever erogenous spot you’d like to stimulate electrically — the possibilities are endless … but you might be thinking “electrify my WHAT?! Ouch.”

Charley Cook, president of TheRimbaStore.com, cleared up all my misconceptions when I called him up with my burning questions:

Does it hurt?

Only if you want it to! But it can also be a very soft, pleasurable new experience.

Does electrosex fall into the same category as BDSM?

It’s really up to you. By turning up the power you can reach intense, dominating, mind-blogging pain if you want a really hardcore experience.

For those of us that are curious …but scared, what would you recommend as a starting point?

I would say to try it on your inner forearm. Pick a spot — maybe one near your elbow and another near your wrist — preferably with not much hair and turn the power up slowly. It will get your hand moving and you’ll see what the sensation feels like. Once you’ve warmed up to it, go get yourself a silicone vaginal or anal probe, which are soft and pliable, and some conductive gel.

Whoa … conductive gel? What’s that for?

You know, like when doctors rub those things (a defibrillator) and yell “clear!” there’s usually conductive gel on them. It’s used to spread out the current so that you get an even flow of power spread out on a wide surface. If you don’t use the gel the current concentrates to pinpoint smaller pieces of skin — and that will hurt.

Okay … seriously, how does it feel?

Well, Rimba’s latest electro sex power box features five programmed sensations. It offers varying pulsations, including one that feels like a deep tissue massage and another that’s similar to gentle acupuncture.

Besides an assortment of attachments, TheRimbaStore.com sells a 170-page book called “Juice. Electricity for Pleasure and Pain” with more details on how to experiment with electrosex without burning your genitals off.
