Sensory play can be incorporated into any kind of sex scene – and cause immense sensations of pleasure when used correctly! Here, we will address some of the most popular devices for stimulating the senses – and you may be surprised at the origins of some of these devices! Medical instruments, such as the pinwheel, are devices used within the field of neurology; it was invented by Doctor Robert Wartenberg to test nerve sensitivity – hence, it became known as the Wartenberg Pinwheel.
Robert Wartenberg was born in the late nineteenth-century in the Eastern European country of Belarus, then a part of the Russian Empire; the doctor later moved to Germany, where he began his professional career, only to escape the country after the political ascendancy of Adolf Hitler – as a member of the Jewish faith, of course, it goes without saying that the doctor was a target for persecution in Nazi Germany – Wartenberg headed to the West Coast of America, where he became a leading professor in the field of neurology, before subsequently inventing the pinwheel.
This quirky device is now found in bedrooms and fetish clubs across the world and is a staple in any worthwhile collection of Bondage Toys.
The appliance is more often than not made from surgical stainless steel; the wheel itself is comprised of sharp pins, which can be rolled over the body. It is, however, possible to encounter variations on the traditional pinwheel; some deviations from the apparatus’ original concept include versions with more than one wheel, for example, but regardless of the divergences in design, all pinwheels work the same way, to create an immense amount of stimulation.
The Wartenberg pinwheel is probably one of the most versatile instruments you could ever wish to play with; depending on where you use it on your body will depend on the sensitivity, no matter how much pressure you may bring to bear with the rolling action. For instance, a person’s arms, feet, and neck can be quite susceptible to ticklishness, compared to the sensations that are generated when the pinwheel is rolled against delicate parts of the body. It’s a great appliance to tease your partner with – as the amount of pressure used is left fully in their hands, it’s also easy to incorporate the use of the pinwheel alongside other bondage equipment, such as gags and restraints.
For an even more intense experience, the Wartenberg pinwheel could perhaps be used after a spanking has been administered; the recipient’s skin is already incredibly sensitive!
However, not only can you wheel sex toys across your lover’s skin – you can also scratch and swat them with it too. Freezing or warming the pinwheel is yet another terrific way to deliver a sublime sensory experience as well.
Mixing sensory stimulation with the sensations created by the use of the pinwheel can make for the most enthralling and exhilarating of erotic experiences. As a further experiment, why not apply some contrasting textures alongside each other? For example, the combination of the pinwheel, the warm wax of bondage candles being dripped over the body, and the light touch of a feather make an excellent combination…
