A very common toy sold for sensation play

Stupidest possible reaction to Karen’s tweet about a woman murdered by a “sex toy” which is to say a spiked wheel shoved up her vagina:

Strangling women is “breath play” and shoving spiked wheels up women’s vagina’s is “sensation play.”

What is wrong with people?

    It’s a medical instrument used for checking for loss of feeling through nerve damage, not a sodding sex ‘toy’. How the everloving fuck can anybody look at one and think about shoving it where the sun don’t shine? Ideal for making dotted patterns in biscuit dough or pastry, I suppose, but I could probably list a thousand alternative uses for it without once thinking of inserting it in someone.

    It’s a variation on ‘guns don’t kill people…’ I wonder if Girlvetica would regard having someone blow one of her fingers off with a gun as ‘sensation’ play.

    Quite apart from the fact that there is no ‘safe’ way to stick a sharply spiked object like that into a persons vagina or rectum, that specific object was always going to cause major damage. The wheel can’t roll if it is constrained both top and bottom. It will simply tear a furrow through sensitive flesh full of nerve endings. Even if the poor woman’s vagina was being mechanically distended to enable rolling, to penetrate through the vaginal wall and into the rectum clearly demonstrates force and a willingness to cause damage that far exceeds ‘sensation’ play or any standard of reasonable care.

    I know I’ve stated the obvious above and sorry for the inevitable imagery that conjures, but the man needs to be punished. Grievous bodily harm or manslaughter should be starting points. Murder if actual real consent can’t be proven. Then, after the fact, when infection and clearly set in, there must be some law that applies when you fail to provide care and assistance.

    It is astounding that a story about someone using this device clearly UNsafely and IMproperly elicits a response about how the device is safe if you don’t do such stupid things. Like that’s relevant. If someone is stabbed with a kitchen knife, you don’t generally see people defending the safety of knives and complaining about culinary shaming.

    culinary shaming

    Next up: Culinary shaming as a form of bigotry. ACLU takes on those who shame cooks who stab people with kitchen knives for sensation cooking.

    Jesus Christ. “Sensation Play”. The whole world sounds like a corporate drone.

    Thanks, Rob. When I wake up screaming from nightmares of furrows being torn through sensitive flesh I’ll know whom to blame.

    Well, might as well keep going…

    From Wikipedia:

    The Wartenberg wheel is also used as a BDSM or sensation sex toy, sometimes while connected to a violet wand electrical device.

    Violet wand? Oh, no. Dare I look?:

    Violet wands were originally electric and neon testers, but are now split into two types: mechanical (Tesla Coil), and solid-state wands. They are used for the application of low current, high voltage (min 35 kV to max 65 kV typically), high-frequency electricity to the body, as such they are most commonly used in BDSM though erotic sensation play. Violet wands can deliver a variety of sharp, cutting, or piercing type sensations.

    I guess metal spikes just aren’t enough for some people, so we need to add some “cutting” or “piercing” electrical shocks.

    I looked at a few how-to pages, and from what I gather this is supposed to be rolled over sensitive areas with varying amounts of pressure, not stuck inside of anything. If it’s clean I suppose there’s minimal risk, as the worst case is a few tiny holes in the skin.

    But then you have the idiots jamming it inside people and perforating the bowel. Unbelievable. They should throw the book at that guy, and the BDSM people should be on board with that, since they’re always claiming it’s people’s responsibility to keep their partner safe, right? Well, if your partner’s dead then you didn’t do that, now did you?

    In related news, perhaps I’m late to the party, but I didn’t realize Amazon sold BDSM sex toys:

    How long before a man running down his female partner gets off for “car play” gone wrong?

    Well gun play also exists… Ultimately edge play boils down to “you should never under any circumstances do this, but here’s how”

    Not to be That Guy, and I’ll spare Cressida the burden of having to ignore hundreds of words, but I have to point out that calling something a “sex toy” doesn’t mean it should be inserted into one’s body. A Wartenburg Wheel is perhaps one of the most benign implements for evoking sensation on the surface of the skin, but it is obviously inappropriate for insertion.

    And I’ll repeat that it’s simply tragic that this man was able to use neglect as a mitigating rather than an aggravating factor
