Alternate Receiver Mountings

While much is made of the hands free use of the Venus 2000 receiver, it is only one method of use. It also requires a significant erection and a receiver fitted to that state of erection.

However, the receiver can be supported in a number of ways. This allows receivers to be heavier, have accessories and most of all, it eliminates the need for a significant rather invariant erection.

The simplest type of support is to use the receiver while kneeling on a bed or other soft surface with the receiver on a stack of pillows adjusted to the correct height to slide back and forth on the top pillow. Variations on this theme should certainly come to mind. Such as sitting in a reclining chair with a thin pillow on your thighs under the receiver for it to slide back and forth on.

You can tie two hot water bottles together. A couple of strips of foam rubber are placed on either side of a receiver and the entire thing is slipped between the two hot water bottles filled with warm water. The hot water bottles have hard inserts in the top where the plug screws in. It is easy to lash these two areas together. On the opposite end are the two hanger holes molded into the water bottles which can be tied together making a double hot water bottle. It is easy to slip a Venus receiver between the two with our without the extra foam rubber. I find a few strips of  foam help keep things centered and in place. This combination can be mounted on a stack of pillows as above. It ends up quite heavy as you might expect with all that water and is backward. You decide if the warmth is worth the effort.

One interesting concept was to affix a string bridle to the receiver, at approximately a balance point for and aft. This is easy to do with a large fishing swivel and some string and a bit of boy scout training. If you find lashing too much trouble, then resort to the great engineering solution of duct tape. Then a neck strap of the type used by saxophone players is attached to the receiver. Such neck straps are very well designed and easy to adjust for length. This takes the weight of the receiver and still allows it to pendulum back and forth easily.

Perhaps one of the more interesting variations is attachment of the receiver very close to the mouth end, to an opening in a pair of jockey shorts or similar garment. The attachment is made by cutting a small hole in the right place, and carefully working the mouth end of the receiver through the hole. The mouth end of the receiver can then be fastened with some large rubber bands to the cloth of the opening. This creates a wearable receiver. This has lots of possibilities. The stroke length can be set quite long since the receiver is nicely captive and much constrained from popping off even with vigorous action. It can be used sitting, or standing or even lying down. The trick is not to make too large a hole. Then when the end of the receiver is inserted, the fabric will stretch and form around the mouth of the receiver like a flange, making attachment with the rubber band quite easy.

There is a type of toy which is like big inflated boxing gloves. Two sizes of these inflated boxing gloves exist, the regular and the super. The Venus 2000 receiver fits nicely into either of these, but it will try to seal off the receiver cap. You can take a small piece of stout tubing, even a large straw, and fix it to the side of the receive with rubber bands. Even when the inflatable bopper is inflated tightly, the straw will leave an air path for the cap valve to continue to vent. When mounted in one of these inflatable-boxing-glove-type things, the receiver can be easier to support on pillows at the right height, or if used lying on our back, the rocking of the combination can be controlled by the position of you thighs.

The Unusual and Versatile Geo Balloons

 Qualatex makes a special balloon called a "Geo". This remarkable balloon is a donut shape. The one of special interest is the 16 inch round Geo balloon. There is also a 16 inch "petal" type. They can be used two ways. A Geo can be tightly inflated and then deflated to stretch it, and then barely inflated and tied off, not really inflated, just filled with air until it is about to start inflating. This air filled donut can be slipped over the mouth end of the receiver. 

This works well with the inflatable boxing glove toy or the jockey shorts type of receiver mounting. A barely inflated Geo can also be used on the mouth of a receiver mounted between two hot water bottles described above. In all these cases it provides a bit more padding and an extended entrance area.

A Geo can also be slipped over the body of the receiver, the smaller kind like the 2-inch receiver especially, and inflated. With or without a second Geo barely inflated and slipped over the mouth of the receiver. blown up around the receiver, you end up with a combination a full 16 inches or more across and barely different in weight than the receiver itself. This makes for a lot of possibilities in terms of supporting the receiver.

In either case, the inflatable boxing glove toy or the receiver with inflated geo, they work extremely well while lying on your back. The "head" like structure will rock back and forth. By adjusting the distance your thighs are apart, you can adjust this rocking motion and vary it easily. The results are remarkable. Perhaps even enhanced if covered with a sheet to further modify the action. The receiver with a Geo around it can also be clamped between the thighs and manipulated that way.

Inflating a Geo around a receiver is one case in which you may want to make up the receiver with the hose tubulation at the back or cap end of the housing. This allows the front to be free of the hose for a better fit on that side. Putting the hose on the rear of the housing does give the hose a greater opportunity to pull sideways on the receiver, so it is a tradeoff.

The Geo can be inflated around a receiver mounted on the jockey shorts also. This then creates something that will bounce against your belly and thighs while in use for extra stimulation. Keep in mind that two sizes of the Qualatex Geo's are made, six and 16-inch. The six inch is too small for any practical use with the Venus receivers. Also two styles, petal and round, of which the round seems most useful, though both styles will work.

At one time I constructed a sophisticated gantry. It was a sight to behold, an engineering marvel. It used a system of pulleys, carefully selected counterweights and an adjustable T-shaped support. It would exactly counterbalance the Venus receiver's weight and cause it to hang down, but still freely move from side to side and up and down. It was effective when used lying on your back. But it was complicated and you had to align yourself right under it. It did the job and created essentially a weightless receiver. The inflated Geo and the inflatable boxing glove toy mounting both turned out to be more flexible, accomplish much the same sensations and be much easier to set up for use.

Face down use of the Venus receiver can be achieved with some of the softer of the above described arrangements. Especially the stack of pillows with our without the hot water bottles, probably with the addition of another pillow on top as a good idea.

A small section of copper tubing about 3/8 inch O.D. can be used to join lengths of the main receiver airline. You can purchase extra receiver hose from Abco in any length. There are times when a nice short hose is convenient and times when a much longer hose is convenient. A pair of hoses, one 50% longer than the other, can be used to make three different lengths of receiver hose with one simple coupler made from just a 1-inch section of copper or plastic tubing of the right size.

Also you can optimize a receiver design for these constrained applications. You might use a larger liner for a looser fit since some air leakage would not be as big a deal, or leave the liner looser and less tensioned end to end, so it can balloon out a bit more on the end, or use less of a constrictor for freer motion. Again counting on the much more constrained receiver to behave itself, vs. the demanding "hands free standing up" type of usage.

With the jockey shorts type of wearable receiver mounting, the receiver action can be quite vigorous and even without a major erection things will stay where they should.

The point is that with imagination, you can find a number of ways to use receivers.
