Pinwheel with SheathReviewed by D. AlexandriaIf there was ever an instrument to experience while exploring the exquisite dance between pleasure and pain it would be the Pinwheel (aka Wartenberg Wheel). A simple device really, just a basic pinwheel, but in the right hands it can deliver a whirlwind of sensations ranging from tickling pricks to tormenting stings. Now, before you say it, I know that it can easily be dismissed as some torture device that looks more at home in a horror flick. And I’ll be honest in admitting that this full-body sensation toy was originally developed by neurologists to test dermal nerve response. Thankfully some wonderful, perverted soul took an alternative look at this instrument and many of us are forever grateful for the idea. Admittedly I have a love-hate relationship with the Pinwheel. Like any proud bad girl, I can enjoy more than my fair share of pain, and in my own hand, it can send delicious shivers down my spine by just lightly running it over my forearms alone. When I’m feeling a little daring, I’ll go for my thighs or tummy. When I’m ready to hit the next level, I’ll bring my breasts into play. Under my own direction, I can deliver myself into such a sweet state of torture that I’ll want to kiss each stainless steel spike. But in someone else’s hands, the play can get dicier – still fun, of course – but under a partner’s manipulations, and with the element of surprise on their side, the Pinwheel can be run over areas of my body where I’m not as daring to go – or in some cases, where I wouldn’t even dream of. A mere shift of pressure can turn what was at first a surprise tickle over the swell of the ass into a breath-catching, tormenting series of pokes. Depending on the body part, pressure and angle, the Pinwheel can be experienced in an array of diverse and dizzying ways. It’s the kind of device where the timid can enjoy it for the delicious, sensual prickling and the hardcore can pretty much go for broke. Daring yet safe. Risky but definitely fun. When you’re ready for the next level, why don’t you give this a try? D. Alexandria (d-alexandria.com), a Jamaican descendant, unapologetically wallows in perversion while residing in the Boston area.
