Every once in a while, just very occasionally, I still log in here. I guess it's "walking past the graveyard" time, seeing what remains after an entire subculture was essentially destroyed overnight. And of course things have only got worse since then (somehow), and at the moment it feels unlikely that anything will ever improve.

Oh well.

The lights go down...

When I started this blog back in 2015, the plan was simply, “All the gear, none of the editorialising”. While I certainly have all sorts of opinions on various topics, there’s also a time and a place to get on with something else. Serious Topics(tm) are all well and good, but they can also be a huge source of stress. Can kink be a refuge from the madness of the world? I certainly hoped so. For a time, it seemed to work.

Then Tumblr went and did what they did. The proverbial hammer falls soon. So, just this once, I’m going to break the “no editorial” rule.

I’m not going to rehash all of the drama. I will observe that while the site owners can do what they like, of course, that does not necessarily mean that their actions are always wise. Frankly, it’s unlikely to even be useful - the commercial pr0n-bots have already changed their tactics. (They seem to have migrated to instant messaging - I’ve been seeing a lot of that over on my non-kink Tumblr.) It seems probable that the ban will fail even on its stated terms, while the damage will be felt mostly (entirely?) by harmless users. (The fandom communities have been in a state of horror for the last fortnight - it’s not just the gay community that’s been punched in the face by this.)

Tumblr can do what they like, but watching an entire community die is soul-destroying.

So what I want to say is this: to all of you who made your content available for others to enjoy, thank you. To all of you who liked or reblogged things here, thank you, and I hope that this blog was a useful service while it lasted.

I’ll probably leave the blog up, at least for now. I will admit to a certain morbid curiosity - I’m strangely-intrigued to see what (if anything) will survive of this. It’s not often you actually get to watch the bomb drop, after all. However, once the dust is settled I suspect this Tumblr will disappear too. This site feels like a place where we’re not wanted anymore, and anyway I suspect Tumblr now has more past than future. Driving away your user-base is many things, but it is not a sustainable business model!

Anyway, thank you again, and for what it’s worth, let me wish you all the best for the future.

I was put into the wooden chair, wearing racing leathers, then tormented and later mummified for beeing milked

Amazing breath control session with this high altitude pilot helmet. I wonder how it feels to be sealed there inside.

Loitokari in the Chair

[smokefish2-deactivated20181206]

A new dive shop that specialised in foreign made gear recently opened up in the next town.

They seemed to set a lot of store by getting the correct fit with stuff like drysuits and they even had what the called the “advanced measurement chair” set up so they could be 100% that everything was right.

To make sure it was a fair trial, you had to be securely strapped in and for some reason they always made you were a respirator and mitts as well. The reasons for this were not always too clear, but the gist was something to do with keeping your head still and not tampering with anything during the fitting session.

A few if the guys who were interested in new drysuits just went and placed an order after just a quick try-on, but most people who were interested in suits like this Loitokari tried the chair out and they nearly always came back into the shop with a big grin on their faces.

Close-up of Rubberscotty in a Loitokari (Finnish) drysuit.     I  feel fortunate to be on Tumblr and a few other interweb sites where skilled and experienced divers are sharing photos of themselves in this sleek, professional gear which is also the spur for some interesting fantasies and imaginations.

Notice how the diver’s hood is already practically dry, even though he was completely immersed only seconds previously.   A friend who is a Viking drysuit diver explains that the rubber used for their suits has a remarkable quality of drying quickly.

Had some fun with a couple friends in Chicago. Unfortunately didn’t capture the amazing rubber scene we had later that night, but I got to tie one of them up in a super hot wetsuit and teased him through it with a couple of heavy duty vibrators.
