We invited sexual health educators, sex bloggers, and porn geeks to share their thoughts about episode 277, which features the return of Barbary Rose and Rion Rhodes. Our performers script their scenes and bring their own sex acts and desires to the set, and in this scenario, the two brought wax, strap-ons and a ball gag. This week… CrashPad Episode 277: Barbary Rose and Rion Rhodes.
But first… a moment to swoon over our stars
Welcome RION RHODES back to the CrashPad! @RionRhodes #TomboyFemme #FemmeSwitchhttps://t.co/l2WKjbJyPC pic.twitter.com/tny7uxtnnA

Kinky queers
It’s time for a new #SexEdPornReview of @CrashPadSeries episode 277 featuring the gorgeous @XOBarbary and @RionRhodes. D/s play featuring switches, wax, and a bit of rope. pic.twitter.com/a1qbz8weIA

So, first things first, I have to mention how much I love how @XOBarbary and @RionRhodes play off each other. It's a great back and forth that continues through the whole scene and it adds a lot to the overall sexiness of everything. pic.twitter.com/LJTcoMebC5

Overall, it was a great scene with great connection, communication, and seeing people switch in a BDSM scene (A first for me!) that I'd recommend to anyone. Thanks to @CrashPadSeries for letting me give my thoughts and to @XOBarbary and @RionRhodes for their work!

Chemistry is key
As always the chemistry between these two is brilliant. I love the way they constantly seek consent from each other. Even when Rion Rhodes is gagged, Barbary Rose checks in and pass attention as a good Dominant does. This is great role modeling of D/s play. #SexEdPornReview
— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 18, 2018
Communication is key in all relationships but all the more necessary and fundamental in BDSM. It’s important when using a gag to ensure that your partner has a way to signal a safe word. #SexEdPornReview
— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 18, 2018
You what is really amazing about @CrashPadSeries? The communication. Seeing each performer talk to each other in scenes to make sure everything is okay and consensual. Also the laughing. Like, giggling and laughing during something kinky/sexual is fucking amazing!

Ball Gag
When choosing a ball gag particularly, it’s very important to consider the size of the ball too large (especially if unaccustomed) can be very painful (not in a good way). #SexEdPornReview
— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 18, 2018
Wax Play
Like all sensation play wax play can be intense. If you’re new to this type of sensation play try soy candles first. They burn at a lower temperature. Also remember to check your allergies. Many commercial candles have dyes and fragrances you may be allergic to. #SexEdPornReview
— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 18, 2018
And I also absolutely loved the wax play. It's a kink I don't get to do a lot with, but it's also very easy to get into. It's fun watching someone trying to squirm away from the little dribbles of wax and you can get some really satisfying sounds out of people with it. ^_^ pic.twitter.com/jTBUNBy8Ut

Don’t use beeswax candles though. They burn at a much higher temperature and can burn the skin easily in a not the good kind of pain way. Also be prepped for clean up with wax play. Paraffin was is the easiest to clean up but burns hotter than soy. #SexEdPornReview
— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 18, 2018
(Quick safety note: Only do wax play with candles made for it. Depending on the type of material used, the temperature of the wax can differ a lot. For a more in-depth guide, check out this OJST comic: https://t.co/GFlZlxrgFA

I absolutely LOVE that, in a porn scene with two switches, you actually get to…well, see them switch. Being a switch myself, it's really nice (and hot ^_^) to watch the energies of Barbary and Rion shift and how much of them remains the same. Also love the little bits of wax! pic.twitter.com/hjse8cvMEK

Rope Work
Looking for rope or for an intro to rope bondage? Definitely check out Twisted Monk, one of the highest quality sources and best resources on rope and rope bondage out there. They have great intro kits too: https://t.co/2mXVBcqUZ6. #SexEdPornReview
— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 18, 2018
Plus Twisted Monk has the most gorgeous colors of rope available. So many aesthetically beautiful combinations. My current wishlist favorite is the rainbow rope because rainbow rope…who doesn’t need rainbow rope? https://t.co/mIS1ADombA #SexEdPornReview
— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 18, 2018
Me too!! @twistedmonk has the best rope in all varieties for bondage and suspension and made from great material like silk and bamboo. Such a great resource and the kits are all great.

Behind the Scenes
Watch the @CrashPadSeries Behind the Scenes because it’s great to hear @XOBarbary and @RionRhodes talk about their safer sex practices: barrier use and being tested. Rion also talks about that ball gag and comfort. #SexEdPornReview

Thank you! We’ll see a drop in traffic/sales (mostly from affiliates, which is a bummer) but Tumblr has already decreased with less engagement over the years since they began shadowbanning queer porn.
We appreciate our loyal subscribers, and hope those who can will join us!

"Reach out and find out where else you can find them online — and how you might be able to support their work as they prepare for this ban, too." Thanks @Refinery29 for mentioning our work! Promote, credit, and pay for the porn you want. #PayForYourPornhttps://t.co/9EPoPSfxhz

Tumblr is about to ban "adult content," which brings up the age-old question: will social media platforms ever stop acting like sex doesn't exist? As a veteran sex blogger, I had some THOUGHTS: https://t.co/5kiye4Vxf7 pic.twitter.com/XREIZRdK1X
