The Compound – Claire Thompson
Title: The Compound
Author: Claire Thompson
Publisher: Romance Unbound Publishing (30 Jan 2013)
ISBN: 978-1482302493
Reviewer(s): Michael & Jane
Bondage! BDSM! The Beatles! And, no, that last one’s not a typo. In this joint review of The Compound, Michael and I get a bit rock ‘n’ roll. (I know, I know, I know. Just go with it.)
*Proceed with caution: spoilers ahoy-hoy
JANE’S TAKE …
Completely confused by the presence of the Fab Four in this review? Don’t worry, all will become clear as mud, I promise. Continue reading
Hassle-free bondage: the Fetish Fantasy underbed restraint system
What we used: Pipedream Fetish Fantasy Bed Bindings Restraint Kit
From: UberKinky
Price: £25.99
Material(s): Nylon (cuffs and webbing straps), Velcro (cuffs), Metal (fasteners), plastic (buckles)
Reviewers: Lizzie & Thomas
Like the idea of bondage? Looking to tie someone to your bed? UberKinky very kindly sent us this Fetish Fantasy underbed restraint system to try out. If you’re sick of messing about with ties, scarves and dressing gown belts, it could be perfect for you. (And you don’t need a fancy wrought iron headboard, either!)
First thoughts …
Lizzie
Up until now, Thomas and I have been using a homemade bed bondage rig, which has served us pretty well over the past few years but first impressions? These Fetish Fantasy underbed restraints appear to be quite a step up. (Sorry, Thomas. That’s not a comment on your DIY skills – it’s just that this system looks so much quicker and simpler to use.)
Webbing straps; soft, detachable cuffs; quick-release Velcro … Continue reading
Confessions Collection Vol. 1 (London Brown) – Leila DeSint
Title: Confessions Collection Vol. 1 (London Brown)
Author: Leila DeSint
Publisher: New Dawning International Bookfair (11 November 2012)
ISBN: 9781301363438
Reviewer: Michael
Confessions Collection Vol. 1 was one of those books that took me a bit longer to read than usual because I had a hard time figuring out what was going on at first.
London Brown, Caden Jacob Carrington the Fifth, Rhys Christos Edward Stowell, and Desniah Williams. From an outsider perspective, these are four of the youngest and most powerful people in British society. But the insider perspective is very different.
When Desniah is discovered as little girl, she can only say one word: London. Eventually, she’s adopted, but at the age of nine, something happens that turns her world upside down yet again.
The main thing I didn’t understand was the relationship between Desniah and London. I didn’t think they actually had one. I thought London was just the name that Desniah used when she was working as a call girl. But that isn’t true at all. Desniah and London are two entirely separate people. London is aware of everything that happens to them both but Desniah is not. In many ways, London does look out for her ‘other’ personality – but not in all ways. Continue reading
Giving a little sexy Christmas love
This Christmas, we have a full house. I’m even having to borrow a trestle table to fit everyone in for Christmas lunch. It’s going to be awesome. Lots of chatter, over-excited kids, plenty of Buck’s Fizz, good food and good conversation.
But once everyone’s gone home, the mess is cleaned up, and the small ones are fast asleep, I’ll be opening a few sexy presents with my OH, just the two of us. And I’m very much hoping that I’ll receive one or two things from my Christmas wishlist …
- Red Passionate Birthday Suit Suspenders from Agent Provocateur (those red ribbons are to die for – seasonal, too!)
- Lux-Me White Swarovski Crystal Riding Crop from La Belle Epoque (sparkly things are always welcome)
- Jimmyjane Afterglow Massage Candle in Grapefruit from Lovehoney (an excuse to touch each other – not that we need one)
- Kitty Gold Ouvert backless knickers from Lascivious (easy access and very, very pretty to look at)
- YESforLOV Intimate Pleasure Caress After Spanking Cream from Coco de Mer (no explanation needed) Continue reading
FrankenDom – Robin L. Rotham
Title: FrankenDom
Author: Robin L. Rotham
Publisher: Robin L. Rotham (27 October 2012)
ISBN: 9781301029679
Mary Shelley meets Grey’s Anatomy meets Torture Garden.
‘Let’s experiment’ is the tagline for FrankenDom and flippin’ heck does it ever. Reading this book was the literary equivalent of walking into Heston Blumenthal’s Michelin-starred The Fat Duck, ordering the snail porridge and, after a tentative taste, scraping the bowl clean with enough enthusiasm to chip the porcelain.
FrankenDom is by far and away one of the most original and engaging BDSM books I’ve read this year; the plot is awesomely wacky, the characters original, and the D/s relationships in play both unusual and captivating. A medical drama on crack and filmed in a Rocky Horror Show-esque dungeon, if you will. (Or more, accurately, castle Bangenschloss in Montavena.) Continue reading
Toy with me Tuesday: Shibari Christmas turkey
‘Er, Jane? What exactly are you doing to that turkey with my Shibari rope?’
‘Toy with me Tuesday.’
‘I’m not even going to ask.’
‘Probably best not to.’
‘Just make sure you clean it thoroughly afterwards.’
‘Salmonella’s a hard limit, yes?’
‘Don’t be cheeky.’
Who said poultry bondage can’t be sexy?

Alert Me: poultry bondage, Spotify for eBooks, and horny Canadians
In this week’s Alert Me: BDSM with chicken (no, I’m not making that up), a new eBook subscription service, and a sudden surge in Canadian sex toy sales.
Fifty Shades of Chicken

‘Pro-tip: Spatchcocked or trussed? Depends on how sarcastic your chicken has been.’
Thanks to author Andrew Shaffer (@andrewtshaffer), I am now following erotic poultry on Twitter (@50ShadesChicken) and considering buying a BDSM chicken cookbook. Clearly, I’m plucked. Continue reading
Wax play: candles, love, and liquid heat
What we used: Bondage Heat Play Wax Candle in black
From: Bondara
Price: £8.50
Material(s): Paraffin wax
A burning candle is a thing of beauty. But what about all that wonderful molten wax? Lizzie and Thomas experiment with a bondage candle and discover the joys of wax play.
* Please take the time to review the Behind the Chintz Curtain Disclaimer before reading this post. Wax play carries some degree of risk and shouldn’t be undertaken without the proper safety precautions.
First thoughts …
Lizzie
Wax play. Yet another thing that’s been languishing on my ‘really want to try it’ list for what seems like forever. However, the big sex toy retailers (in the U.K. at least) have rather limited selections when it comes to wax play candles. There are a load of massage candles from the luxury brands on offer – such as the Lelo Flickering Touch and the Jimmyjane Afterglow – but trying to find nice ones for dripping on your partner isn’t particularly easy. So I was really pleased when we found the Bondage Heat Play candle on Bondara’s website; a decent size and colour, at a reasonable price. Continue reading
Mawa Klamps: serious pressure for nipples and other body parts
What we used: Mawa Klamps
From: UberKinky
Price: £2.99 per clamp (discounts available for multibuys)
Material(s): metal (unspecified), rubber (unspecified)
If you’re serious about your nipple play, then these sprung Mawa Klamps may be just the thing. As Lizzie and Thomas discover, they’re certainly not for the faint of heart – and they’re not just for the top half of the body …
First thoughts …
Lizzie
If you’ve been following Chintz for a while, you’ll know that Thomas and I recently reviewed a set of Japanese clover nipple clamps and that I’m a big, big fan of them (and clamping in general). So when UberKinky asked if we’d like to review their Mawa Klamps, I was pretty keen. However, when I put these little beasts on the tips of my fingers after extracting them from their wrappings and felt how strong they were, I started to get a bit nervous! Continue reading
