In this, the year after the Year of the Televised Homo-Gays, cleaving a portion of the gay market has really gone to far. I mean, the folks behind Ricky’s Pleasures actually thought RAINBOW nylon straps were what we queers wanted to buy! Okay, that’s not entirely fair: I’m sure there are queer brethren in the South and the Mid-waste (I’m from Chicago – I’ll diss the Midwest if I like), who are just coming out, or have a small community and wearing all them rainbow’d styles is still a mark of defiance, but for the rest of us, let’s spell it together: T-A-C-K-Y. However, if you are into humiliation, the Lusty Loops are purrrfect. Imagine yourself bent over with your wrists and ankles strapped along a nylon rainbow covered flat piece of metal. But just as the manufacturers say, these toys (the Tease Me Ties, Cumfy Cuffs, etc.) are indeed for those into light bondage. The cuffs of the Lusty Loops and Cumfy Cuffs are padded with that grey spongy stuff that you get when you purchase electronic equipment, and though they are comfortable, adjustable, durable (two cheers for nylon – again!), and best of all—versatile—Ricky’s Pleasure are just a little too campy (isn’t rainbow paraphernalia considered camp these days?) to enhance the sexual scene – unless of course, laughing means enhancing. No doubt, sold as novelty only.
