Friday, 24 June 2005

Before updating you on what is happening in my rubbery breath play world, I have a couple of outstanding items to resolve. I said some time ago that I would report back on what I thought of various lubrications and also electrical stimulation.

Lets do Lubrication first….

Well like most people I started with talcum powder. This I found it OK as it made it easy to get into my suits and is easy to get hold of. It has a nice dry silky feeling once you are in there. It doesn’t stain and is latex friendly. The down sides are that it is difficult to administer just the right amount and you tend to end up with too much of it and it getting everywhere. It is usually scented. It is a very fine dust so can irritate your lungs. Also, I tend to feel the talc as much or more than the actual clinging rubbery feeling that I am after in the first place.

J-Lube – This is the most recent thing I have tried. It has gained a lot of friends recently and got a lot of coverage on the web. It was purpose designed to work well with latex (in the veterinary world) and it’s supporters think it is the best thing in lubrication.

I don’t think it’s that simple. J-Lube certainly has amazing properties. It really is incredibly slippery against rubber. It comes as a powder concentrate that you are supposed to mix with water. And that’s a big problem for me. Being in a rubber suite for long periods, covered in a water based lube is like staying in a hot bath for too long for me. Finger tips go wrinkly first and the usual pink soft skin symptoms just spread slowly around the body.

As an experiment I placed a small amount of dry J-Lube in the suit and it worked like talc while getting in. Once in, it slowly “melts” into any moisture in the suit. It seemed to me that not only did it absorb moisture; it actually seemed to draw it out of my body. Soon I was swimming in there with progressively more and more moisture. Fun 4 sex, but not good if you want to wear you gear all day.

One other thing to consider is that J-Lube is quite difficult to get off your skin or rubber. Basically prolonged washing in the shower is needed. Some recommend salt. I used herbal bath salts, which helped (but did not dare to try on my suit).

In summary – it is a fantastic lubricant. It seems perfect for fisting or a shorter wet and slimy experience in a rubber suit. For longer term rubber enclosure, I would not recommend it due to it’s water base and being very difficult to move around in - it’s just so slimy!

Silicone – This is a group of semi-inorganic polymers, the inorganic part being Silicon. Silicones are usually odourless, non-toxic and the stuff I use is designed for matting rubber plumbing joint. It is relatively cheap, comes in a bottle with a small pourer and I only use the smallest amounts, mostly around the entrance for the feet, knees hands, neck, buttocks and inner groin areas. Just enough lube to get in without straining the suite and enough to prevent chafing. The stuff I use is a little sticky and much thicker than water, so tend stay were you put it. I have been using this stuff for years.

As I wear it, it may spread around my suit a little, but it does not absorb into the rubber or my skin. This property makes it great for wearing for longer periods. It does just the right amount of lubrication and the feeling does not change much over time. As long as you don’t apply too much, the rubber stays feeling like rubber and not of lube.

Silicone is very water repellent, so it doesn’t seem to dilute as the moisture levels in my suit increase. In fact, I have found that it not only protects the rubber from water moisture, it seems to inhibit sweating a little.

Despite what you may have heard, it is easy to wash off and you can get most of it off your rubber clothing with quick wash in warm water. I can report no skin problems or difficulty keeping items clean.

Silicone is therefore my favourite so far. I haven’t really tried many others as I am so happy with cheap Silicone. Specialist ones tend to be expensive and water based. Anyone found a reason to choose something else?

Of coarse the ideal situation is to not need lube. That’s were I will be researching in the future. One development is chlorination or rubber suites. Anyone had good or bad results with chlorination?


Electrical Stimulation

This is something I have been trying over last few months and I am a convert. Basically they are boxes with probes that send a tingly electrical sensation through an area of your body. Typically anal, vaginal or penis.

I have an ElectraStim Em32 with “Electraloops” and “Side Contact Anal Electraprobe”. The Em32 is a fairly new small, budget end device and is fine - but really needs more power and ideally two channels (so you can stimulate both groin and butt). However, it a good start and has variable intensity and a series of different stimulation programmes – which vary the current in different ways.

The Anal Electraprobe is straightforward and fun. It is easy to insert and remove and relatively small. I think I am relatively small in the anus dept. but unlike most plugs, I find it Ok to wear for hours and hours. The sensation on one of the alternating programs was a little like a shaft gently entering and leaving. I did find that the plug tends to burrow it’s way deeper and deeper into my body over time (particularly if I sit down). There is never any difficult removing it, due to it’s clever design, but I found that I am less sensitive the deeper it sits and the Em32 is then not powerful enough to do the job. The best option is to either never sit down while wearing it or periodically, fish it out a little (when all hell tend to break lose as it is usually on full power by then – very nice).

The “Electraloops” are soft rubber loops designed for use on men’s genitals and penis. They work OK, but can be tricky to wear for longer periods if buried in a rubber suite. As with all these devices, an understanding of basic electrical principals is handy. The Electraloops are of high resistance and I have found that you need to arrange for a short end of the loop to plug in to or insufficient power is delivered. Also, electricity tend to take the easiest path, so if your penis is against your body or a moist suit, some or all the power takes the alternative routes, tracking down the lower abdomen or wet suit. More power please!

I look at the Em32 as a proof of concept for me and I am very satisfied that this is a route worth exploring.

ElectraStim do a SensaVox which is slightly larger, more powerful, has two channels and has the ability to vary the effect according to sound (either a mic or from a CD). However, most people on the internet seem to recommend the products of Eros-Tek, the monster ET312 in particular. Eros-Tex machines tend to be powerful and with loads of programs and options. They are not cheap, but one day I think I will get one.
Anyone any experiences they want to share?

To all that have been waiting – apologies for the delay and lack of update of this blog. My life is deliberately very unpredictable such that I never know how things are going to turn out from one month to the next. Recently, I have never known beyond a few days and sometimes a few hours what opportunities and challenges were coming my way. Great for keeping boredom at bay – but means finding time to write it up is limited.

In summary, since my last post, I have been away from home much of the time and so not been wearing rubber during the working week very often. However, only a part of my time has been spent working and I have had some excellent long sessions of breathless rubber and plastic enclosure...

The hot weather about a month ago did start to make things a little difficult for longer sessions. Things have cooled down significantly lately, which I am very glad of. When the temperature get above the mid 20s C (~ 80F) I find it less and less fun to stay in rubber for more than a few hours. Now it’s back to the low 20s C in the office, I could weep when I finally have to take off my rubber skin!

As for the future… Well typically I am in a time of great uncertainty with a mixture opportunities, some of which may - or may not - happen. My normal freelance work has almost dried up – but hopefully this is temporary. There are rumors of a big chunk of work from an existing client that may be arriving – all of which may be done from my home office – and therefore in rubber… On the other hand I am starting to get more work via my alternative career of photography. I have often wondered if there was any demand for professional quality portraits of people in their fetish outfits – private commissions for their own exclusive use. Well apparently there is, even if it is very niche. I guess people want to be immortalized in their prime or in their best outfits.

I am running out of time, but want to tell you of one of the things that I have been playing with. Once in rubber, I sometimes climb into a PVC hazmat style suit. Coupled to this is battery powered air pump. To make the suit air tight I then gaffer-tape up the entry zip. The “down” side of the tape is that getting out of the suite can be a fairly slow process. The air pump does not deliver a huge volume of air – in fact only just enough…

Part of my fun is the reliance on the small pump and it’s battery power. I have to carefully monitor the time in the suite in order that I don’t suddenly run out of battery. I have already had one dangerous incident where the batteries fell out of their compartment. I found that I was running out of air and the pump was strapped in a rubber back pack. Because the pump runs the suit’s environment at near suffocation levels normally, things started to get out of hand quickly…

Thursday, March 24, 2005

Busy day today, so will be only be able to dedicate part of the day to my rubber life. No goggles and mask today, but still had time to fix up electro stimulation loops on my genitalia and a fun session in place of lunch…

Will be reporting on ElectraStim and Poppers when I have more time – maybe next week…

9 through 3pm gave a weeks total of 1320 and a balance of +45.

Tuesday, March 22, 2005

Back to the more normal latex working week. I am only able to work in latex for 2 days this week so I am setting myself a pro-rata target of 1275.

I am trying out some new things though. For lubrication I am trying out J-Lube rather than pure silicone or talc I have used in the past.

I now have Electrical Stimulation devices and am trying out being electrically “plugged” today.

Also, I am trying out different brands of poppers for comparison purposes.

So if you read this fully enclosed in latex, goggled, masked, with a electro stimulating plug banging away relentlessly, while you are sniffing the sweet vapors of poppers, then you know what it feels like to be me. Welcome to my world…

Managed 9 to 5 today, so with a comfort break that’s 820 so far with 455 needed by the end of the week.

09:15

Been +28 hours now in my sealed bubble. Been working remotely via my workstation, set up in the bubble, through the small hours and so not had much time to monitor and record how I feel till now.

Pulse 70BPM, which is slower than it was midday yesterday. Breathing rate is somewhere near normal – at least when I am at rest. Although far from gasping or panting, I am more aware of my breathing and there is some irregularity to it’s pattern. I often feel like I am taking a slightly deeper breath, along the lines of a yawn – the impulse for which feels good – sort of cross between exciting and sexually stimulating.

When not at rest, even moderate movement can cause some feeling of breathlessness. Again, this is far from difficult to control and recovery is reasonably swift. However, the feeling is still very noticeable and quite delicious.

My body has a strange ache in it from head to foot, which is most noticeable at my extremities and down my sides. It’s not at all unpleasant and can only describe it as the feeling you get just before and during the time you feel you need to stretch (and yawn) when waking first thing in the morning – only this is a near constant feeling. I absolutely love this feeling.

Other than that I feel OK, although in need of some rest and possibly sleep. Of course all the above contributes to a near constant rock hard erection…

My ‘captor’ has now actually locked me in a couple of hours ago and will not return for some hour (hinted at early afternoon). I think surviving in here for a few more hours will be fun! Of course if things get desperate, I could always call them on the mobile, but then I would have to wait for maybe 30 minutes for them to make there way back. False alarms would not be kindly taken to. The element of calculated risk, danger and dependence is quite a turn on.

12:00 +29:45

I caught up on some sleep and had some nice dreams… Even when awake, I found it easy to be in half awake state with daydreams not far from my mind.

Pulse approx 70BPM

Been through several more periods of what I call re-adjustments. Where my body increases it respiratory rate to deal with the changes in the atmosphere and then gets used to it and returns to normal. The last time I was aware of this last evening, but these were slightly more noticeable.

I have entered another longer period reprise where everything returns to normal. Not sure if how long this will last. This pattern is fairly typical from my experiences, a series re-adjustment session going on to a full-on continuous breathlessness and gasping, increasing in rate. The fun start to wane somewhere in the later stages and that’s the time to bail out – while you still can!

14:15 +32hrs

Went through longer period of re-adjustment and now again in a lull – but this time the reprise is not quite as to the same extent as before.

Rather unexpectedly my captor rang (rather then call by) to say that they would not be returning until 18:30 unless things had got desperate [I said they had not] and that they would only call once more to check in hour or so. Committing for such a long extension was quite a decision to have to make. Not that I was given that much choice!

One strange thing is dealing with being so detached from the daily cycles. I went into this small lightproof airtight bubble just before dawn and spent over one and a half days and 1 full night in here while working very unusual hours and untypical sleeping patterns. My only window on the world is my computer screen. To say I am messed up and confused would be a major understatement. This has led to several times wanting to leave, so I can re-sync. So far I have avoided this temptation – but (surprisingly) it has been much harder to deal with than the current levels of O2 and inevitable CO2 build up.
16:30 +34:15hrs

My respiration rate has very slowly been increasing since last entry. Not the cycles of increase and decrease as previously. Still well under control and far from frantic, but noticeably constant and increased above the norm.

I have been able to do some quite reasonable work over last few hours, but starting to find it difficult to concentrate. Other than that I feel ok – as long as I don’t move around too much. Think I will have a rest now and maybe meditate about my situation. I will have to know in a couple of hours what to tell ask captor – do I want out, or should I ask them to keep me in for another two hours. Even if I want out, I wonder if they are going to make it that easy?

18:15 +36:00hrs

Although not completely out of control, my respiration rate is increased and I generally have a feel that I am suffocating (which you could say has been true for some time!). But know, I am feeling like I am on a slow downward cycle that will end in unconsciousness. I feel very drowsy and cannot concentrate on anything other than my breathing for any length of time and moving around is difficult. The sexual thrill is still there but probably well past it’s peak. I don’t think I want to take on another 2 hours, so will ask to be let out soon.

18:30 +36:15

I knew it was possible, but didn’t really believe it would happen. My captor will not let me out “just yet”! No word on when I will be let out, so I will have to conserve my energy, in case it turns out to be another 2 hours – which would be desperate.

19:00 +36:45

My situation is quite desperate. I don’t have energy or concentration for anything other than very gently pleasuring myself. Even with minimal effort, this keeps me just out of breath and the fear of using up all the air before I am let out stops me using sufficient effort to come.

I have considered tearing my own way out early – but this bubble is made of very strong plastic (much much stronger than the thickest plastic bag you see. Even stronger than those designed to carry rubble) and I am very weak. I have no tools and my rubber clad fingers are useless for gripping or tearing, even if had the strength. Getting out of my rubber suit would be very expensive on energy and I don’t think it would do me any good…

On the whole I am going to have to trust my captor’s judgment and just enjoy the ride. The rides not bad after all…

19:30 +37:15

My captor returned about 10 minutes ago and said I would be let out in 10. Suddenly I had plenty of energy to use up some valuable air. I did get very frantic and out of breath in the following few minutes of ‘going for it’. Knowing I didn’t have to ration the air, allowed me work myself up into a frenzy. Slapping my rubber clad form & rubbing myself into the strong material of the bubble. Really getting off on the achievement and relief. Making the most of my last chance for fun in the bubble. I was almost weeping by the time my body released it’s last load.

Now I have had time to recover, I find my breathing is just about under control and not that much above normal rates. I feel washed out, but realize that I probably would have managed to make it if it had been two hour – or even longer. The bubble is so big, the atmosphere depletes in O2 and become polluted with CO2 so slowly, that you don’t get that sudden desperate speeding up of breath, but a slow spiral of adjustment that ware you down. So, although I could go on for hours, the fun is all behind me and I am looking forward to seeing the outside world. Staying awake is the major challenge now.

I hear them coming, better late then never…

Written After The Event…

Lessons learnt.
1. 250 Micron plastic is very heavy (18Kg or 40lbs) and will squeeze air out of any microscopic holes in the seams or seam tape. So maybe supporting the weight from above with guy wires would help (as I previously tried).

2. There is a max size that is fun in practice, this bubble’s golden period was the 8 hours around the +24 hour mark, even though it was a only a quarter full after the first few hours.

3. Dehumidifiers really works well in a bubble if you don’t want to be dripping in condensation. Essential if you are going to have electrical devices in the bubble (like heating or computer terminals). Not an ounce of condensation was seen on the bubble and there were pints in the dehumidifier’s container.

4. You really do need surprising little volume of air to survive for even long periods stretching into days. Will aim to actually quantify this some time by looking through logs and experimentation.

The 37 and quarter hour experience was great and you rarely get that amount of contiguous time to dedicate to your sexual fetishes. Being captive in the bubble I had lots of time to relax, contemplate and use my imagination.

05:15 Bubble #110

Finally finished preparation and building new bubble. Entered and sealed air lock exit for a trial run.

This bubble is a little more robust in style than ones I have made in past and so is a little bit of an experiment. It’s made from 250 micron thick black membrane. This is totally light proof and so lighting is laid on inside.

The main structure of the bubble is made of 3 sheets of the membrane with taped seams. In addition there is a air-lock structure made from a 4th sheet, which forms a 4m entry tube which can be sealed at both ends.

The nominal dimensions of the main structure are 2.75m x 4m x 2.25m, giving a volume of more than 24 Sq M. I don’t have an exact system of estimating endurance for a given volume, but looking at earlier log entries, I am hoping for 2 to 2.5 days.

Will write up more about the other trial items in this bubble later one…

09:15 +4 hours

Overnight the bag lost most of it’s volume. There must be a leak. Given the length of seams this is not that unexpected – particularly given that most are only taped on one side.

Later I will re-inflate and go over every seam and fix all the leaks. In the mean time, I think I will continue with what I have to see if there are any other things to learn.

The air is still very breathable and comfortable. The built-in thermostatic heating and the dehumidifier are keeping things pleasant so far.

12:00 +6:45

Sometime mid-morning I couldn’t help myself from getting turned on in my rubber suit, inside my plastic bubble. I was really trying to last out till later but just couldn’t stop myself filling my suit with semen… Didn’t help that someone mailed me a link to a new (commercial) breath play site (www.o2extreme.com).

By the way, I should point out that the bubble is large enough for my work desk monitor etc to fit in here with me. So I am actually able to work while slowly suffocating…

Speaking of which, only very early signs of any change to the quality of air in here. Pulse 76->80BPM (have not measured it recently, so not sure what it normally is, but this seems just a little high for me). Breathing is near normal.

19:15 +14hrs

After working through the day, I knocked off early and spent the last few hours catching up on sleep. During this time I was aware that the air quality was starting to change. This went through the classic pattern I have seen before when it happens when I am resting and not moving about. What happens is over time your body adjusts to it, so you get periods where your respiration rate increases slightly and then returns to normal, all by itself. During these periods, you can start to get strange feelings in the rest of you body, such as a sort of ache in the limbs or tingling deep in your abdomen. I go through several of these periods and then you can even get a long reprise where you stay apparently unaffected for a long period. This is roughly were I am now.

Incidentally, I never carried out the repairs to the bubble, which has leaked out much of the air until it formed a dome and could support it’s own weight without forcing the air through the small defects in the seams. So, I am in just a fraction of the volume of air the bubble is capable of – say a quarter. Even so, there seems to be plenty for a fairly long session and may even make 18 to 24 hours yet. The full bubble would have been able to support me for days – maybe longer than I have time available this time.

Speaking of time, it just so happens that I am going to working unsociable hours for – i.e. overnight and on call. So what better way to be deploying my software than doing it from my desk in my fetish bubble! I only hope the air doesn’t get interesting (run out) when I am too busy to appreciate it...

Monday. March 14. 2005

Ok, this weeks going to be different. I am still going to be working from home while wearing rubber toe to foot, but I am also going to be trying out a few other ideas that are going to consume a fair bit of time (I am avoiding calling them endurance tasks as this is only part of the idea) and so commenting more on my non-work time than usual.

A lot of planning, buying and construction is necessary, so unfortunately today is not a rubber play day. However, I should mention that I spent yesterday evening playing in a PVC Hazmat-type fetish suit from PVC-u-like – to acclimatize to the breath control I will be undertaking this week. The suit can be coupled up to an air pump or you can use it without and regulate the amount of fresh air that is let in via the entry zip. I have done both, but chose to spend the night in the suit with a gap of between 2 and 3 inches in the zip. It’s quite possible to go down to 1 inch, but that is too intense for longer periods.

It got very wet in there with all the condensation from breathing, but was OK other than that. The controlled re-breathing felt great and I managed to sleep for some of the night. I find the thought of waking up, struggling for breath to be very stimulating. The calculated risk of never waking up at all, also adds a certain something too.

I managed to make the night out without submitting to my near constant erection. During the night I dreamt very vivid dreams about meeting up with one of my fetish correspondents at some sort of sex club or private orgy or suchlike. Anyway, when they came across me panting away and struggling for air in my suit, they were turned on and proceeded to mount me and have fun with my virtually helpless body.

In the morning I did allow myself to re-live the dream and it was intense.

During the day, I gathered the materials for the big bubble experiment. In the evening I started construction, which would take me through the night.

Tuesday, March 08, 2005

The good news is that my rubber home working lifestyle is back on. I have secured a good month’s worth of work I intend doing from home. The only thing is that this week is just too complex to plan and so I will probably not be able to set targets. I am working from home all week in rubber, it’s just I have all sorts of trips out, meetings and other commitments that mean it’s tricky to predict. However, when I can wear rubber I do wear it. Yesterday, I managed to find time to work for about 4 or 5 hours in rubber and today I will probably have 5 or 6 hours to do the same.

Before next week everything should be back to normal. And speaking of next week, I am still planning on some sort of “Marathon” session. If all goes to plan I intend to attempt to beat the 28 hours I did the other week. I have done several longer sessions than this before, but never during a working week.

I want to add breath control / bagging into the mix for the long session too. I have always been into plastic bags and various types of bag play. It’s all connected to the core fetish – the desire to be in my own sealed world. The dilemma of wanting to be sealed up to such a degree that you have very little scope for endurance (or long term survival!) is incredibly erotic for me… I find seeing others (men or women) in this state a huge turn on too.

One of my oldest fetishes is the idea of living in a large rubber or plastic bubble, totally sealed so no air can get in or out. I have even lived out this notion in a large number of experiments over the years, some of which I documented in a Log book. Looking back through the book gives me new ideas to try out and is also very stimulating. As the O2 runs out and CO2 builds up, the entries change. The hand writing often changes and the experience recounted gets more intense. Many of these logs document sessions well over 24 hours and some of my enclosures allowed survival times of over a week!

One day I may write up some of these log books (if anyone is interested), but in the mean time I am planning such a session in next week or two and so watch this space…

It interests me that I found relatively little written on the web about such sessions and yet we know lots of people are into this sort of thing. Maybe someone reading this is into bag play and will comment back…

I know some of my readers will think that I am advocating very dangerous practices and I am going to say right here that they are 100% right. There is no safe level of suffocation and many people die every year performing milder sessions than the ones I suggest. The chances of falling unconscious and dieing are significant. I am not going to justify it and can just say it’s my choice. If it makes it easier to understand, maybe I get off on the dangers (a bit like thrill seekers and extreme sports enthusiasts). It’s more complex than that, but it’s certainly become part of the excitement. Anyway, there is plenty already on the web about the dangers, so I intend concentrating on the “what” & “when” side of the subject (which is underrepresented) rather than dwelling on the “why” and “why not” aspect.

Friday, March 04, 2005

Things have changed in my working life for a while, which may bring a temporary end to my rubber working life style. It also delayed writing up last Friday – which basically went like this ….

…It was going to be tuff to meet the target today. I didn’t think I would manage it, but with a session from 9 to 5 in full suit, including goggles and mask, I just scraped home with +6 points! It didn’t fit my plans for the day to stay in rubber till gone 5pm, but when I saw the opportunity to get back on track, I had to take it. So I just about managed to work off my deficit in one week – which was just as well…

Anyway, back to the present and as I said, things are on hold for the rubber working and I don’t have a date for when things will get back on track. However, if all goes to plan, it looks like I will have the opportunity for a one-off special some time during the next couple of weeks or so. Not sure what form this will take, but probably be an extended latex session, or some opportunity to wear latex while out, or some long duration breath play (maybe a combination!).

One idea is to repeat some of my long term “big” bag play session, where I construct a huge bag – as big as a room, inflate it and seal myself in to see how long I can survive in there. Some of the sessions went on for days! Dangerous stuff, but that’s maybe half the point of it…

Going to be a short entry today, due to pressure of work. I did manage to get into my rubber for 9AM, but am having to bail out at 4PM as I need to go out…

Had a comfortable day in rubber, if busy (with work). Did get some brief time to play at lunchtime and tried out some new breath play and popper play ideas that I will develop, and report on some day. Staying in rubber after climax is still the most difficult part of the experiment, but somehow I just manage to keep true to the rubber lifestyle…

The running totals show that a current balance of -846, which will be tricky to make tomorrow with all else that I need to do… Slightly worried I may miss my target again and incur more rubber interest!

0900

Wow – a whole week without rubber. Not nice. Had a very successful week from a business point of view, but felt like I could cry by Friday. The extra exposure the previous week helped for the first few days, but I am certainly glad to be back in rubber today.

Speaking of the week before last, it’s time to reckon up. I actually spent well over 28 hours in rubber. For the majority if this time I was in total enclosure with not an inch of my body exposed. However this did not in itself make for a good points score. In fact I actually came out of it with a deficit of 185.5 points!!!

Now in retrospect, it seams that there ought to be an incentive for spending whole days in rubber – while not being to great as to be a disincentive for spending my working days in rubber. I think there should be a 24 hour bonus in addition to the consecutive work day bonus – but am hoping that you (my readers) will give me some suggestions as to the number of points which should be allocated.

But for now – I must stick to the rules which I set for the week. Here is how it worked, from a points perspective, Wednesday did not count as I was not working in my rubber – despite spending 8 hours before midnight. Similarly, Thursday midnight to 08:30 did not count as it was recreation time and not work time. However, I did qualify for the 100 point contiguous day bonus. Also, I did not need a comfort break during working time. I did get massively turned during the session, but only one time did I lose control during work time and actually came. I did manage to do an extra long work day (11.5 hours) – probably spurred on because I would not be able/willing(?) to spend time in rubber the next day.

Totals for week before last:
Suit & Hood = 11.5*100*=1150
Goggles =10*11.5=115
mask 5*11.5= 57.5
re-breather 25*0=0
Temp Bonus (above*(1+(0.25*0))=0
Contig. Day Bonus=1*100=100
Comfort Breaks=-50*0=-0
Ejaculation= - 100*1= -100
So far today= 1322.5
Week before today= 550
Total for week so far= 1872.5
Target=2058
Balance= -185.5

So what about this week?

Well, if I don’t make my target there has to be some consequences – while recognizing that my opportunity for staying in rubber is, unfortunately, not limitless. The first thing that happens is that any shortfall is carried over to the following week(s) with 10% interest added on. However, because the target was not reached – it was probably too high. So the following weeks target is reduced by 80% of the shortfall. So that if the target was 2058 and I miss it by 185.5, the new target is 1910 with -204 carried over. This means I would have to earn 1910 points next week as a minimum and hopefully earn 2114 to avoid yet more interest on the remainder.

Now, you may think that this may not sound like enough of an incentive to meet the target but that’s now really the point. Firstly, I am having to publish my failure to my rubber peers – which is the real punishment. Also, am not going to want to continually run a deficit, as there is 10% interest, as well as the indignity to consider. So although I am going to have work hard to pay back the deficit in the next week (or two), at least the target will be achievable once I have paid off my rubber debt.

16:00

Really enjoying today. It’s been easy to get used to being back in rubber and it just feels wonderful. Maybe, too wonderful, as I don’t seem to able to get enough of it. I had an excellent bag play session during my lunch break, going wild in my steamed up bag. Managed to make it last a fair while, but ever since, rather than being satisfied, I have been wanting more …

1700

Enough for today… Points summarized: Total for week so far (with all bonus and charges carried over)= 496, Weeks Target= 1910, Balance= -1414

Thursday 10:30

The urges get to great for me and I find myself turned on by my own predicament. More than 18 hours in here and just seems to get more erotic over time. I break off work and sort myself out. Taking to poppers this time to complete the rubbery trip. They send my respiration wild and I lose any ability to slow things down. Intense.

16:00 (24 hours)

Earlier in the afternoon, I decided I would only have to last to 1600 before I could leave and get on with other aspects of my life. I really felt I had probably had nothing more to gain in staying encased in rubber. I really wanted out so set myself the 24 hour target.

But now it’s here, I just don’t want to leave. It’s interesting how I have these occasional lows where I want to bail out. As long as they are not near a time where I would feel justified in getting out of the rubber (like at the end of the working day, before I go to bed, meal times etc) I seem to be able to deal with it by setting a target a few hours away.

My libido is back again and slowly taking over from my work. It’s nice having that drive there and trying to keep it off the boil, while I try to concentrate on my work.

I have not eaten or drunk anything since yesterday (it’s just not possible when sealed up, without breaking the “seal” so to speak). It’s interesting to note that I have only needed to relieve myself a couple of times and not at all in the last 8 hours. Things seem to be slowing down for my body.

The rubber suit is staying quite comfortable still. It seems that anything that may be uncomfortable will manifest itself in the first 8 to 10 hours It feels relatively dry in here, despite everything. So, I think I am good for a few hours yet I think.

20:00 (+28 Hours)

The last few hours has been a challenge – just from exhaustion and a head ache (that is actually coming from my neck) that has steadily increased. I think I have reached my limit for this session so am bailing out. The limit seems to be mainly physiological – pretty much a desire to get out and meet some people…

Post script – on removing the suit I found that it was indeed fairly dry. Considering the time I had been in there I was surprised. Also, I had not developed any skin irritation or major redness from pressure points and the like. Just the odd temporary skin impression from seams you would get from wearing any tight clothes (like underwear). The only other thing I notices was my hands were very pale – but not at all wrinkled as they would be if wet.

So in these types of conditions (winter in a temperate zone), the real limits on the length of time you can wear rubber is going to be physiological and to some degree personal hygiene. Although rubber does not take on odor like normal materials (or emit it), there is going to be a personal limit on what state you want your body to be in.

The physiological aspects are difficult to pin down. They seem to be partly the isolating affects of TE. For example, going out to the restaurant is a not an attractive or practical possibility if you are 100% enclosed in latex for me. I guess this would be helped if you lived with other rubber centric people.

I think there are other things too – which I could characterize as more cultural or habitual associations. There are things you grow to take for granted in life, like the routine cycles of your day or things you day every week, which may be disrupted by wearing latex TE. I suspect these things could be overcome if the dedication to an entirely rubber life was total. But the question is, when you can have a life which could afford a generous amount of dedicated quality rubber time, would you really want a totally 100% rubber life if one was possible?

I for one am still not sure of the answer…

20:30 (+4:30) (Wednesday, February 09, 2005)

20:30

I gradually turned up the amount of re-breathing I was doing during the first few hours and reached a the maximum I felt that can be sustained for longer sessions at about 08:00. I love playing around with re-breathing masks & bags. Something I have been regularly practicing since childhood.

There are different styles to this sort of play. There is the frantic short sessions, right through to the longer sessions. I generally have a preference for long sessions with milder levels of re-breathing. The trick is to adjust things so that you are constantly forced to take deep breaths at an above average frequency, but let in enough fresh air into the system that your breath does not go out of control.

00:00 (+8:00)

I had a great evening of being fully encased and breath play. I had a powerful erection for hours. I particularly remember a 4 hour segment where I was constantly on the edge of orgasm. Holding back the ejaculation was very deliciously difficult – and it felt like a big disappointment to me when I finally failed to stem the flow, so early in my first evening (around 9 or 10pm). It felt like nothing would be quite the same in my rubber encapsulation for the rest of my time in my suit – but of course this feeling started to lift within the hour and, a couple of hours later, I felt so comfortable that you would have had to pay me to get out of here.

While “recovering”, I had time out from the bag play, but now it’s time to don another fun hood and go to bed. The hood is a black rubber, loose fitting, re-breathing hood. It has no eye holes and just a group of small holes around the mouth area to let some air in. A rubber belt secured it around the neck. All this went over my normal hood I have been wearing for 8 hours now.

The hood is fairly tame when worn as intended, but for more extreme breath play I often wear it so the air holes do not directly line up with my mouth. However, I intend to sleep in it so I am going to wear it lined up correctly. [Obviously breath play while asleep can be very dangerous and should only be attempted by experienced people, with supervision of another and with very mild levels of breath play. Don’t write in warning me – I already know the risks and have for many, many years now.]. Now mild as it is, I know from other attempts it will be plenty enough to try to sleep through. For me there is nothing better than the feeling I get of falling asleep or half waking with my respiratory system gently working away at making the most of the re-breathed air (for best effect, it needs to be just noticeable that it is having to work at it – not gasping).

Thursday 08:30 (+16:30)

Here I am starting work and I have already been in my suit for effectively 2 man days. I will tale the advice of Blackie and work out the points later…

I had a reasonable night, considering I was totally encased in rubber and wearing two hoods, the outer one being the re-breathing hood. The inner hood did cause me some problems as it pulls my lower jaw in slightly, which causes me some periodic breathing troubles as I fall asleep. The re-breather was plenty effective enough to keep my respiration rates up on normal. I countered this by forcing myself to stay awake till the small hours after a tough day, so that I would be ready to sleep heavily. This worked and I soon dropped off.

However, it was never going to be an uninterrupted sleep and several times and hour, my inner hood would win the elastic battle to bring my jaw in and would start restricting my breath – this was like a time-bomb attached to a snore. I would wake just enough to notice the “snore” and reposition my jaw or whole head to get free flow again. While this was happening, I would be aware of the effects of re-breathing – which was perversely delicious, although I could have done without the inner hood restricting my air flow.

Next time I will allow myself to take off the inner hood if I am going to wear the re-breathing hood to bed.

The erotic cycle of gagging, waking and finding myself in my rubber situation became more stimulating in the early morning. I found myself in a half awake state, working hard to breath and this dangerous erotic state became unbelievably stimulating. Eventually I could take no more and found myself writhing about uncontrollably and, as I came round, I erupted ferociously in my suit.

It was about 5am, so I decided to take off the outer hood as I had the feeling that I was so stimulated that I was ready to repeat the performance before day break and I needed at least some sleep.

Now I am up, I can report that I am quite comfortable in my suit. I am wearing goggles and filter mask over my hood, so totally sealed in and feeling ready for a day in latex. The only problems I have to report is that I have right ear is feeling the pressure of the hood and is a little painful sometimes. I hope this does not get worse as the day goes on.

Wednesday, February 09, 2005 - a one off experiment.

16:00

People have been asking about my rubber life outside of the time I work in rubber, so here is a one off sampler.

It’s unusual for me to start a new entry at 16:00, but it looks like I have the opportunity to have an extended latex session that I thought people may be interested in. The time available to me could probably stretch into Friday and there is the likelihood that this may include a 24 hour + session or maybe a single long uninterrupted session. So here I am all kitted up, complete with hood, goggles and re-breath mask – so not an inch of me is exposed. There is so much time available for fetish activities, that I am already getting energized.

Now the interesting thing, that people may find difficult to understand, is that this may well not directly affect my points target for the week. In fact it may make things more difficult for me. You see the points targets and my blog entries centre on maximizing the time I spend during my working life in rubber. The way things stand, the time I spend at night just doesn’t count (other than the contiguous day bonus). This may seem a little odd – but when I set this blog up, I decided that I never had an issue spending my private life enjoying my fetish, but that my track record in spending the time I worked from home in rubber was a little patchy. So thus the points and blog.

However, now I am here, preparing for a longer session, I see there is some potential unfairness and possible conflict of interests. Spending a long time in rubber today and tomorrow, may make working in rubber tomorrow and Friday much more challenging. It could easily be more uncomfortable. I may well be less motivated. There could be more psychological challenge – either going stare crazy or maybe getting depressed though the loss of connection to people and the real world. These entries could well be my best contact with anyone or anything before the weekend.

Like I implied, now I am here, it seems unfortunate that I have not come up with a way of giving an incentive for not buckling from the meeting my work day targets when under the pressure of longer session outside of work. I’ll post this now, before I change my mind about combining the two objectives...

Monday, February 07, 2005 - Start Of Week 4

Last weeks target was 2700, which I exceeded by 85 points over 4 days. This week I able to work from home 3 days max. That means that this week, I am aiming for
2743/4= 685.75
x 3 = 2058 points.

I just looked over the figures for the last 3 weeks and I got:
Week 1 2365 against target 1800, which is +31% (over 4 days)
Week 2 2625 against target 2500, which is +5% (over 4 days)
Week 3 2785 against target 2700, which is +3%(over 4 days)

Things seem to be converging, so I started wondering where my natural level might be. I think there may be a glass ceiling somewhere well before 3000 points in 4 days…

16:30 Finished for day.

Friday, February 04, 2005 - end of week 3

09:00

Start with a balance of -440. This is with the contiguous day bonus that I get if I have spent 5 or more hours in latex within 24 hours of starting a given day that I will also spend 5 or more hours in latex. So with the bonus, I will have exceeded my target in 5 hours. If I don’t want to qualify for it I would have to get out of the suit sooner than the 5 hours – but then without the bonus I would not reach the target. A mini-catch-22 situation where I will either exceed the target quota or not meet it.

In reality, I will probably choose to exceed the target quota and have points in hand for the various demerits.

Just to make sure I bust the target I am again wearing total enclosure suit including hood, goggles and mask. Every millimeter of me is sealed up safe.

10:00

As an aside, I just remembered something from last night. I noticed for the first time how slightly strange and a little uncomfortable “normal” clothes are to wear. It was a mild feeling – one that I could easily ignore if I busied myself, but there it was. They were inflexible and either too baggy or to constricting. They were not comfortably smooth and even, but course which felt odd and slightly itchy.

I couldn’t help noticing that even though my “normal” clothes were only on for 6 or 7 hours, some of them were not totally fresh when I took them off. This just doesn’t seem to be the case with rubber. I wear my rubber for 8 plus hours from clean and they don’t seem develop a bad smell – even the hands and feet. I have come to the conclusion that “normal” clothes are just a bit unsanitary.

13:00

By my rough estimate, I could have reached my quota in the next half an hour or so. Will I be getting out of the suit then? I don’t think so. It’s just too wonderful a place to be on a Friday afternoon! We will see what happens, but I am inclined not worry about exceeding my quota and setting myself up for a difficult week next week. The way I have the points system play list set up, I am hoping it will regulate itself (and me!) over time.

15:00

So I am going out with a surplus of 85 points. I am surprised it was not more.

I got to do some real world things now. Going to miss the rubber for two days.

Thursday, February 03, 2005 - Week 3

9:00

Much warmer in office today – the thermometer says 25C!– so maybe a sticky day ahead. The heating in this place has to be set the night before – so it’s never the right temperature… nightmare…

Got 1510 points to do before week is out – so must do at least 755 each day. In fact I would prefer to have some in hand as Fridays are often short days as I will need to go out to chores and socialize. So I am aiming for at least 800 today – which may not be possible if I have comfort breaks or enjoy myself too much…

At least I start the day with a 100 point bonus, as it is less than 24 hours since I was last in rubber.

12:00

One thing I have mentioned before is that I think you should earn more points for staying fully enclosed in rubber when the temperature is higher. This is because temperature is something that concerns me and, in fact, I don't really know what will happen in the summer, if things get really hot. I am not good in hot temperatures and suspect I am going to find it torture. I may have to make the best of being soaked when things warm up, but I always feel happier being just moist enough to "stick" to the rubber rather than feel like I am swimming about in my suit. I really wonder if I will be able to take it…

Anyway, I think I will need an incentive when thing hot up. So here is what I have in mind. Each degree centigrade (Celsius) above 26C will earn an extra 25 percent on top of the clothing points, per hour. So if it is 30C (very hot for a UK citizen and about 86F for those using the imperial measurement) and I am wearing all over suit with integral gloves and feet and an all over hood with just mouth/eye/nostril holes, I get 100*(1+(0.25*4))=200.

200 points and hour too much? I don’t really know how easy it would be to do a whole working day in rubber with pints of liquid in the suit, day after day – but suspect that I may not manage that at 30C – so maybe a half day bail out would be in order. There is plenty of time before spring and summer arrive – so what do you all think?

17:00

It’s time to peel my second skin away for another day. I managed the whole day with goggles and mask on – so not one millimeter of me was exposed. The goggles were probably the most uncomfortable thing to wear for long periods but expect that I will get used to them like everything else.

On weird thing today, is that I have not felt sexually aroused in the rubber, apart from a short period this morning when I felt mild stimulation. On the one hand this is very encouraging - rubber being more than a masterbastion device and more of a way of life. On the other hand, it’s king of spooky to not be trying desperately to keep myself under control. Is this just a natural off day for me (I have been burning the candle at both ends) or is this something more serious – rubber losing its special-ness through being worn more often than not? Plenty of people have hypothesized that this could occur and that rubber would no longer be a turn on. I still doubt it, and time will tell. I think that it was not that I didn’t feel special in the rubber (as I did), but that my between the legs physiology/libido was after a day off today…

Good start. Temp low so should be a easy day in rubber… This is crunch week, so got stacks of work to get through. Good news is that I have more than enough work to keep me busy at my home office for rest of this week. Working in rubber is great…

12:00
CBreak

13:00

Going well. To busy to be distracted by my rubbery world much…

As I mention previously I think you should get more point the more you “sealed” you are from the outside world. So today I have been wearing goggle and filter mask – so every inch of my body is covered or has not direct contact with “outside”. True, a small area around my eyes is not totally covered by latex – but on the other hand, neither is it touching anything outside my suit – including unfiltered air… I will undoubtedly work on this, but for now I am awarding myself an extra 10 points per hour wearing the goggles and 5 points for the mask. If I wear a re-breather, then I think this ups the anti to 25 points and hour for the re-breather mask.

You may feel this too generous (feel free to comment) – but try imagine being this enclosed every day and still being able to function. Also bear in mind the idea is to provide an incentive to stay sealed up as much as much as possible, for as much of my working life as possible.

15:00
CB & took off my goggles and mask to make some calls. At the moment, they are very difficult to get used to wearing for longer periods. Some adjustment was needed to stop them digging in over time.

17:00
Really good productive work day in rubber. Although no real quality rubber time for any fun today, my rubbery persona still felt obliged to reward my weak mortal body with the sexual release it so needed. With the work pressures against the instinctive base drives, it seemed an almost mechanical process today – almost if I was an outside observer, watching man and rubber joining. Weird.

On this occasion I did allow myself to get out of the rubber suit not too long after the act – which now felt a bit like a betrayal. I think I will try not to do this in future as it sets a bad president.

Monday, January 31, 2005 – Start of week 3

09:00

Back in rubber on a cool 24C day. Perfect. Felt slightly odd/exciting for first half hour as I have been out since Friday. This very soon passed and now I just feel comfortable, safe and just a bit special!

This Weeks Target = 2700

I expect to work from home for 4 days this week (with, say a 10% chance that it may be only be 3 days). Last week I made the 2500 target over 4 days, with a surplus of 125. Now the way it works in this situation is that I add half the surplus on to get 2563. Because there are the same expected days this week available for rubbery activity, no further adjustments needed. However, I am allowed to adjust up to challenge myself, so have decided that 2700 would be a good target. This may seem a bit of a jump, particularly given how challenging it seemed to me to achieve last week, but this week I am hoping to benefit from the adjacent day bonus. That’s worth 100 points for a day where at the start of that day, you had previously spent at least 5 hours in latex within the previous 24.

11:30 (comfort break).

12:00

Been reviewing things and consider that I am starting to find things that little too comfortable and normal. Wearing rubber should not be anything like putting on a pair of comfortable carpet slipper. So I need an incentive to be that little bit more adventurous. So, I think that more points should be earned if eyes and mouth sealed up. Also, there has been very little mention of bag play / re-breathers since I started this experiment. This strikes me as very untypical of my fetish life.

Of course, the challenge will be doing it so that I can still work... So the first step was to put on large ski goggles. Next I re-breathing kit to the mouth of my rubber hood. Every time I breathe in or out the air is only passing to or from the bag to my mouth - so it becomes essential to balance this with breathing in through my nose – which is mainly getting clean air. This experiment should give me some information on how these things can be added to the play list.

1330 All this bag play has given things a bit of an edge and I am getting over excited. Every breath of stale air is a turn of from me. Being so completely sealed in is also a turn on for me…

1430
I took my hood off because I was expecting to be making and receiving phone calls and wanted to feel confident when speaking. However, after a short period it started to feel strange – and quite distracting – so I had to put it back on again! This was a very strange experience. I think that if I really had a good reason to not wear the hood I would have managed it, but I felt cold and uncomfortable without it and just felt I needed to be back inside it. It’s not that it’s a particularly comfortable hood – being heavily made with very thick rubber and lots of overlapping strengthening patches and seams. But it now seems to be totally correct to be in rubber when at work…

I will just have to work around the phone and remove my hood only if I get into trouble hearing or speaking.

Friday, January 28, 2005 (End Of Week2)

9:30

A bit later getting into rubber today. Was up till 2AM fixing the computer again. Some sort of interaction between Norton Internet Security and Cisco VPN client. Anyway, although have been up since 7, I have been waiting for my body to catch up before sealing it away for the day.

I only have 275 pointz left to get this week and am very happy that I will probably make it. The 22 hours I have spent totally encased in rubber so far this week, might not sound that impressive, but I found it fairly challenging to fit into roughly 2.5 work days. That works out at nearly 9 hours per work day – which I think is possible close to my limit, given my other real-world commitments. Of course I have nobody to judge against, except Latex Lady at http://latexlifestyle.blogspot.com/, who has spent weeks in latex 24/7 – and so is just in a different league. I would love to here from anyone who is recording how long they are spending in rubber, while having a non-rubber life on the side. Maybe there really are so few of us – but I find that hard to believe.

10:00 Wearing latex on consecutive days (3rd day today) really does make a difference for me. It is far easier to get through the first few hours in all respect. It’s easier to control my sex drive (although still erect) and the temperature control thing is much easier. It’s 23C and I feel a bit cold. In fact I have been feeling cooler than expected since yesterday morning. I think my body used to get over stimulated in the past and consequently over-reacted by speeding up it’s metabolism. Maybe I am so used to it, my body has adjusted to this as the normal thing to be happening to it at this time of day.

I wonder if in weeks to come the rubber will lose it’s special feel to me and become so normal that it is no longer erotic to me. I am hoping that the erotic nature of rubber is more than the novelty of feeling something very different against your skin. But we will see…

12:00

Things going well so far today. In theory, I could be out of the suit in half an hour meeting the weekly target. However, that does no take into account the fact I may well want to stay in here a bit longer – which I do. Got to be careful here, as I am going to start basing my new weekly targets on how much I exceed the previous week’s totals. I have written up the details of how this would work, but rather than put a very long description here, which is only provisional, I will summarize the basic concept:

Exceeding the target: a proportion of the excess will be added to the week’s target as the basis of next week’s target. (There is also some scaling necessary for short weeks.)

Missing the target: There has to be some consequences – while recognizing that my opportunity for staying in rubber is, unfortunately, not limitless. So basically I carry forward any shortfall – with interest! However I also slightly reduce the target by a percentage of the shortfall.

Now you may think that this may not sound like enough of an incentive to meet the target but that’s not really the point. I am going to have to publish my failure to my rubber peers – which is the real punishment. Also I am not going to want to continually run a deficit, as there is interest to pay

I suspect the details will unfold as each eventuality arises. What do you think? Fair? Any constructive suggestions welcome.

12:45

Now I am ahead of the target, I can spend some hard earned pointz – this time on a comfort break.

14:00

It’s been a very pleasant and productive day. Conditions were good in the suit and I felt very comfortable, working away hard at the computer. Absolutely no problem with over active libido today, with just a cycle of semi-erections every now and again, occasionally getting just pleasantly distracting. Could have easily gone the day with a totally dry suit, however…

Friday can be fun, because you get to earn extra point and reward yourself. In fact there is a bit of an incentive to spend. If you have met your target and want to spend just a little longer in your suite, you run the risk of setting yourself up for an impossible week the following week. So, despite the fact that I am in no big need, it is time to have some fun with a 100 point purchase.

15:00 Time to leave the suit. On the whole, a good week!
