Latex Vac-Bed "By vacuuming the air from between two layers of 14 gauge latex, the vac-bed immobilizes the person inside and produces an extremely restrictive and sensual experience." Safe for work, but the rest of the site isn't.

"..never use the device for self-bondage." Self-bondage? Do people do that? Dress up in leather and whip themselves? Eh. To each his own, I guess.

I think it's safe to say that for those of us who aren't into bondage, and perhaps some who are, that image evoked strong memories of Star Wars rather than intense erotic longing.

It's only though the god-send that is the internet that I learned humans are far far crazier then I was intially lead to believe.

So, will this keep my "dates" fresher? I just hate it when they spoil, but nobody enjoys freezer burn.

Anyone remember that episode of Eerie, Indiana with the family that never aged because they slept in tupperware beds? This seems awfully close to that... :)

...check to see that they can breathe safely thru the breathing hole. It is important to check to make sure that the person inside the Vac-Bed is breathing alright WARNING: Caution should be taken when using the Vac-Bed. Never leave anyone unattended in the Vac-Bed and never use this device for self-bondage. hahhaha

In Goldfinger you could kill someone by completely covering their skin with gold preventing it from breathing, wouldn't this do the same thing (or was that codswallop anyway ?)

Also discussed here with a different but similar link that refers to these set-ups as "human storage containers."

I saw this demonstrated on TV some months back. It looked like fun, and not in a masochistic way. What's not to try once or twice? And to think some of you probably bungee jump and whatnot...

I've seen one of these at Burning Man for the past couple of years, except they cut a hole for your mouth. usually there is a lot of groping going on.

Bungee jumping, skydiving, hang-gliding: move quickly through the world, enjoy the freedom of flight, the thrill of speed. Laytex Bed: endure complete immobility and every inch of your skin in contact with an irritating artificial texture. Not interested.

I'm guessing that the words "Latex Vac Bed" and "negligent homicide" are going to be seen in close conjunction much more often in the near future.

This sounds like a bad episode of CSI... csi guy: "apparently, he was allergic to latex, and somehow was covered over every inch of his body while in the desert. But how? How?"

Woil: "multi-orgasmic males" do exist-- I'm married to one. However, he didn't learn it from this book, and it doesn't involve funny breathing or not ejaculating or anything like that. It's a natural ability that basically amounts to having a refractory period (possibly NSFW, no images, just text) so short as to be effectively nonexistent. I would guess it's pretty rare-- he's certainly the only one I know of. I doubt it's the sort of thing that can be learned.

Orgasm: intense or paroxysmal excitement; especially : an explosive discharge of neuromuscular tensions at the height of sexual arousal that is usually accompanied by the ejaculation of semen in the male and by vaginal contractions in the female. (MW Online) Orgasm != ejaculation.
