Also, I have a new domain I’ve been fiddling with.  This post is going to be cross-posted over to my new domain and after this post I’ll be leaving my WordPress.com hosting for good.  My layout definitely is not complete or even finalized as half of the themes I’ve been trying out have something broken in them and won’t work, but it’ll get there.  Just look at the content and not the layout for a while, will you?  I’ll get it looking sexy eventually with the assistance of the lovely and awesome Epiphora.

Oh, yeah, and I’m in Philadelphia!  My partner has job interviews (he’s in one right now) so I’m relaxing in a café nearby the place where his first interview is taking place.  The only bad thing?  I totally forgot to order decaf coffee so I’m all shaky.  I’m going to have to opt to not finish out the cup.

Anyway, I have a lot of things planned for this new domain, so plan to be reading regular updates instead of sporadic reviews and blurbs like I was doing during my days at WordPress.com hosting.  When I get back into Indiana I have a whole line-up of awesome reviews coming at you – specifically the Jollie dildo (the one that looks like a sci-fi raygun), Tristan Plug, Eroscillator, Astro vibe, Liberator throe and a couple other fun things.  I’m also looking to start a few weekly features and am currently looking for ideas.  If you have an idea of a feature you’d like to read – anything at all – you can suggest it to me at hello.saraid [at] gmail [dot] com.  I’ll be more than happy to take your suggestions into account, actually, I need them, so have at it!

Finally, I hope you all had a great holiday (whichever you celebrate – be it Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa or Festivus).  I’m really looking forward to the New Year coming and connecting with more people through my blogging.  I’ll see you all sooner rather than later.  Stay awesome and leave me as many suggestions as you can think of for weekly features!

P.S.  If you’re in the Philly area, the café I’m blogging from is called the Naked Chocolate Café.  They don’t have soymilk, which bums me out, but they do have some pretty outstanding coffee and it has a nice atmosphere.  I would definitely recommend it.

For those of you that haven’t heard of Tantus, then you’re missing out.  Tantus makes only 100% premium silicone toys and they manufacture right here in the United States.  They hand-pour every single toy and lovingly etch the name “Tantus” by hand on the base.  Each toy is unique because no toy will have the exact same marble pattern from when the silicone was poured or the exact same etching on the base.  To top that off, Tantus silicone is some of the best out there.  It’s not matte and velvety like some, but it’s slick and firm which is how a nice silicone should be.  It has just enough give to be comfortable while it’s firm enough to hold its shape.

The Tantus Goddess is one of the many amazing vibrators that Tantus offers.  Tantus vibrators are made up of a 100% silicone dildo which has an opening in the base to insert a bullet vibrator.  Tantus sends a moderately strong silver bullet for this purpose, but if you happen to have a favorite bullet vibrator that you’d rather use in the base (RO-80MM, anyone?) then it should fit as long as it’s not thicker than a standard silver bullet.

The Goddess is also harness-compatible because of the flared base.  However, the flare is small, so you will need to find an appropriate sized o-ring in order to use the Goddess securely in the harness of your choice.  Also because of the flare the Goddess can be used anally.  If you plan to use it anally make sure you’re comfortable with texture in your anal toys since the Goddess is completely full of it.  This is definitely not a toy to be used anally by someone who is new to anal play.

Since I’m not too advanced in anal play and don’t want texture anally, I only used this toy vaginally.  Vaginally the Goddess shines.  The texture can be felt on every inch of the toy.  And I. love. texture.  If you’re a fellow texture lover, or even texture whore like some – this toy is going to become one of your best friends.  However, if you’re not sure if you like texture this would be a great halfway point.  It’s not the Tantus Silk, but it’s also not as textured as something like the Tantus Echo.

When you want to clean the Goddess just wipe down the bullet with a toy wipe or a little soap and warm water on a cloth.  To clean the dildo itself, you can either wash it with mild soap and water, boil it on the stove or run it through the dishwasher without soap in the top rack.

I usually prefer to remove the bullet and use it on my clit while using the Goddess as a dildo, but this is because internal vibrations I’ve found don’t really do much for me.  I much prefer a nice, steady thrusting motion and pressure applied to my g-spot.  What I’m getting at is no matter if you like vibration internally or not, need clit stimulation or not, whatever you may need – the Tantus Goddess can probably provide it.

Thanks so much to the awesome people over at Vibrator.com for sending me the Tantus Goddess to review!  You guys are truly wonderful!

Now for the review – I really wish that the opening credits on Reign of Tera 3 were set up in a better manner. Since I’m not familiar with what all of the 13 actresses look like, it’s going to be near impossible for me to name who is in each scene. Also, there is not mention of the male actors in the credits. This definitely is a negative since male actors do matter to me when looking for something I’d like to watch. When looking at the small print on the front of the box you can see that the male actors are Spyder Jonez, Tommy Gunn, Scott Nails, Jack Lawrence and Jerry Alec Knight. As soon as I read the male actors I had a big “Oh fuck no.” moment since I have only heard of Tommy Gunn and Scott Nails and don’t really like either one of them. Also, as soon as the opening credits roll you can see a man who I’m sure nobody on this earth would like to see naked. I would later find out that this was Spyder Jonez, the director of the film.

For the scenes I will attempt to look up the names and match with the faces of the actresses in order to tell you who is in each scene.

In the first scene we have Jack Lawrence and who I believe to be Michelle Maylene according to IAFD. From the very first scene I determined that this movie is attempting to have a plot. The acting is bad enough that I had to look up the plot to see what was going on – apparently someone is trying to overthrow Tera’s “reign” in the “Asian Love Palace. (Yes, Asian Love Palace, I kid you not.)

Jack Lawrence gets sent into Tera’s office and there is no lead up to anything, just Jack starts going at it. And not in a good way like everyone’s favorite Frenchman, but in an awkward “I totally don’t want to be here, but they’re paying me to so let’s get at it” kind of way. Yeah, not hot. This face coupled with Jack’s cock never getting fully hard makes for a bummer of a scene:

The next scene is Tera Patrick and Spyder Jonez. As I said before, Spyder Jonez is not someone you would ever want to see naked. I don’t expect porn actors to look like models by any means, but when they look like a, according to my boyfriend, constipated walrus, it’s just not something I’m going to want to see. Looking past Spyder’s appearance, the scene still lacks, well, everything. It starts out with Spyder fingering Tera’s ass and making her lick it. Honestly, I’m usually fine with anal play in films, but this is just rather gross since he keeps repeatedly spitting on her ass. You can see the spit droplets in the screen shot. You can tell neither one of them wants to be doing it.

After the ass fingering is over, the ass fucking begins. I don’t hate this, but it’s not inspiring and it doesn’t really turn me on. At least it doesn’t totally turn my stomach. Spyder then starts touching Tera’s clit. Rubbing nicely isn’t quite the right phrase, he more or less pulls back her clitoral hood and pokes at her clit. This sounds ways less than pleasant to me.

Then we get the ending. . .

If you’re still not convinced, here is the shot that gave birth to the name “constipated walrus.” I sadly wouldn’t recommend this scene to my worst enemy.

The next scene is what I call a gay-for-pay lesbian orgy with 9 of the girls. It starts out with them all throwing rose petals at each other and towards the camera. This basically sets the mood. The flower throwing seems to go on and on and I honestly think it would be boring even for a guy who just wants anything at all to help him get off. After the flowers it switches to boob licking – I don’t say sucking because they honestly seem scared of nipples. Include some nasty-looking double-ended dildos and some cheap panty-style strap-ons and you’ve got the scene. If you’re unsure of what I mean, here is an example:

The last scene is no better than the rest and doesn’t have any good highlights. Honestly, I wouldn’t wish this porn on my worst enemy. I think everyone should have the right to a well-made porn and not have to watch complete crap.
