I know it isn't that hard to do but getting my husband on board has been a challenge. Now that he is theoretically willing, we have to find the time together and get the equipment.

 

[satindesire]

It's not that kind of relaxing.

Really??

Looks can SO be deceiving, I'm sorry! I've never done it before, so I'm ignorant of it's sensation. Is it painful then?

 

[Netzach]

Nice stuff!

That first vid makes me want to visit FL.

Thanks for sharing! Very cool.

Thanks for looking!

The bigger the difference between the internal volume of the cup and the area of the mouth's opening, the more suction you're going to experience. Professional cupping sets often come in a variety of cup sizes. They are very expensive however, so I buy scented wax candles from the dollar store and burn out the wax inside, revealing a glass cup with a fortified mouth that works pretty damn well.

To up the suction ante, I spray the inside of the cup with alcohol and light it on fire, putting that directly on the skin. The more traditional way is to hold the cup over a flame for a few seconds and quickly place it on the skin while the air inside is still hot.

It's fairly intense. In a weird sense I think it could be described as relaxing, but I doubt you'd be able to fall asleep with your flesh being sucked into glass cups throughout your body.

Love your new av, you are looking good Netz.

Come to the next Art Undressed, you have a year to prepare.

 

[FurryFury]

Kewl!

Thanks for the info! I'm adding it to my file on fire cupping.

This sounds like something I would like to try. I don't think I know anyone in my neck of the woods who does it, though. I'll have to investigate.

It seems like something that's rare enough it tends to amuse people when it's being done, but the truth is there's nothing to it. Maybe I'm selling myself short.

A lot of stuff is like that. Everything from sounds to whips I've found is like, oh, you really have to be a crashing idiot to fuck someone up here. Stick to the game plan, don't be a moron, and everyone lives.

Shhh, just work it. Don't you know anything?

One thing I like about cupping are the fairly comical looking marks.

If you have a problem with giant round hickies, you have no business playing with cupping.

Ditto Netzach, but I'll add that it does take a certain amount of balls. Not the riskiest activity on earth, sure, but still - lighting a cup on fire and upending it on naked flesh isn't really for the faint of heart. Or at least, not for those freaked by fire.


Fyi - your first link was, regrettably, busted.

This is true.

I guess a rope marks could be a number of things but a perfectly circular bruise in an exposed area and people know you been up to somethin'.

This is making me want to do more with fire.

I saw someone do a demo with flash cotton recently, has anyone here used that?

Like Netz said, there are a lot of things where you learn how to do it and you think, "wait... that's it?" But just because its a simple-ish sort of thing, doesn't make it any less cool and/or awesome or feel any less good. I mean, knowing that there's nothing to it doesn't make me want to try it any less.

I'm in the process of asking around to see if anyone knows anyone who does it.

That's a damned good idea. I've been using shot glasses, and have been finding the volume a bit too small for good effect.

To up the suction ante, I spray the inside of the cup with alcohol and light it on fire, putting that directly on the skin. The more traditional way is to hold the cup over a flame for a few seconds and quickly place it on the skin while the air inside is still hot.

The technique I was shown (by Evil Geoff) was to swab the inside of the glass with alcohol, then light it, and place it. Do you use a regular spray bottle to spray the alcohol on?

I guess a rope marks could be a number of things but a perfectly circular bruise in an exposed area and people know you been up to somethin'.

Maybe it is this area, but those marks are just as common from "therapeutic" cupping done by Eastern Medicine Certified massage therapists. An ex is certified to do it. Her spa has it right on the menu of services, as do a number of others. So you could just admit that you had cupping done, and imply that it was done by an MT.

Not used it, but saw it, and found it intriguing myself. If I get some, I'll let you know what happens.

Yes, and it's fun, though I like streaking even better. This type of play, for me, isn't erotic so much as it is ridiculously entertaining. I've been fascinated by fire ever since I was a kid.

A couple of reasonably good links may be found here and here.

I recommend lots of experimentation and practice on a nonflammable, non-human surface. For this purpose, I bought a piece of glass about 3' square and put it on my kitchen table.

Do they use that for poi? They teach a class on that around here and people go apeshit for it. It's definitely neat looking.

I am guessing ITW means this.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poi_(juggling) Scroll down to fire poi.

My first thought was it was some kind of class on cooking poi. Doh!

Thanks, that looks exceedingly cool.

I could be wrong, but I don't think flash cotton would be useful for juggling and such. It burns VERY quickly (hence the name, it's gone in a "flash.") The most common non-kinky use that I know of is by magicians, with flash paper.


Your link reminds me of a link to a video that Ammre once put up. Can't find hers at the moment, but god, this is hot.

Dammit i missed it they took it down

I'm pretty sure minameow does it. I know she's brought her fire play to suspension... If you ever go down to black phoenix with the dude, there's a guy, pyrosadist who does it a lot with his fireplay. He has a lot of fun with em, sliding them over the body, drumming on them, ripping them off in pairs and such.

!!! Goddamn it, we almost went to Black Phoenix last time, but previously made plans got in the way. Shit. Next time, we are definitely going. I'll look that dude up.

Thanks for the tip! MWAH'S for you

Yes. I actually have photos of my friend's back after he went to a chinese massage and holistic spa where he got acupuncture and fire cupping. Huge welts.

I don't remember what link I may have posted, i've been around a lot of fire, but I know FireGroove is pretty fucking hot... nom nom nom.

As for flash cotton.. you can make it out of toilet paper. It's not use for for poi/hoop/objectmanipulation, but it can add theatrical elements for people like fire breathers or other performers. Most people who do kink fire play sick with the 90pure iso alchol and will use it for cupping much like marquis. Performing with fire you'd use oil or white gas, which reacts differently. Like vapor tricks.

Thanks for the FireGroove link - pretty fucking hot indeed!

The link I remember was to a video of you hula hooping to music, in the dark. No fire involved, but it was mesmerizing nevertheless.

Is that you in the vapor tricks shot? Damn! I hope you don't mind that I clicked through your album. 1 is incredible, and 10 & 11 are just really beautiful shots.

Oops, didn't see this before. Yep, thanks, callinectes.

There's a big annual kinky event at which they teach poi classes. And then everyone who learned it tries it out at this bonfire at the end of the weekend.

I think ordering an s to learn poi is a fabulous idea. With fire, no less!

It's apparently not that hard to do basics. One of my favorite parts of last year's weekend was just sitting around watching everyone do it.
