I... think this is the right place to post this? Please correct me if I'm wrong!

I'm a writer who's always been fascinated by steampunk and can't get enough of it, but I've never actually written anything concerning it. Now, however, I have an idea floating around in my head... and it involves sex toys. Oh yes. The only problem is, I'm having a hard time coming up with a variety of steampunk sex toys. I got a few ideas thanks to Lady Clankington's Cabinet of Carnal Curiosities, which has the Little Death Ray vibrator and the Butt Rogers Uranium Pistol, but I need a whole arsenal of steampunk-styled sex toys for my lesbian mechanic. Vibrators, dildos, nipple clamps, floggers, harnesses, the whole shebang. But it's hard, because I only have extremely modern ones to go off of, and I'm trying to make them more... unique. More steampunk.

Someone recommended this forum to me, and I figured I'd ask the experts: what kind of sex toys are suitable for steampunk? Have you made any yourself? Do you have any ideas? I'd love to be able to talk about this with someone and brainstorm some ideas!

I think, Mr. (Ms.? can't see it in your profile...) Jabberwocky, you will find we are just starting to touch on this subject at Brassgoggles (at least on the building side of things).   I'm ambivalent about the location of this subject, perhaps, this topic should be in the "Tactile" segment   On the other hand maybe it's better to keep it here... read what I wrote below (moderators? opinions?)

I've been discussing ideas at the "Lady Clankington Cabinet of Carnal Curiosities" thread:

http://brassgoggles.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,25895.0.html

As far as practical ideas, I'm still in the "seminal phase," shall we say?  For me, the focus of my art is my computers, watches and jewelry, and the latter two I'm just starting to get serious...I must say sex toys was the farthest thing from my mind before the Lady Clankington affair, this month.  Also I'm trying to keep my posts relatively safe for general audience viewing (we do have coglings lurking in the forum, you know).

As far as I know only 3 people (Myself, El Shoggotho and perhaps Mr. Matthias Koenig) have even hinted at it.  For me, like I wrote in the other thread, it's the obvious thrusting "business end" actuated by a piston like mechanism using a small rechargeable circular disk saw.  So you could say I'm being inspired by the reverse of locomotive mechanisms (It's what I have on hand  Wink )  On the other hand, if you look at the *ahem* "professional" web-sites, you can see they are way, way farther out than that, with large stationary machines involving, thrusting, vibration, rotation, suction, pendulum action.... well you get the picture.  Cheesy  I think I'll start with portable first.  Although some in the forum will surely try the "mad-science lab" gigantic apparatus.

For my part I'll try to keep my postings limited in the number of threads; Not to be a tight-as-a-Victorian-butt party spoiler (no pun intended  Wink ), but I think I prefer listing at the Lady Clankington thread for now, at least until I have something real, because it's already well known by all to be very NSFW (boy did this thread become popular.  It just goes to show you  Cheesy ).  I think it depends on how the community responds to the introduction of such topics into the forum... so I'll thread very lightly on it.  Female Hysteria is a very legitimate Victorian subject, I think, and quickly adapted by inspiration (literary as well as artisan by way of devices) to Steampunk.  I want to contribute, but just want to do it in a "tasteful way" if possible.  That insures the legitimacy of the subject.

I hope I don't appear to be too uptight, but then again I'm a born-again Victorian!  Grin

Cheers

The BBC adaptation of Victorian Lesbo-romp 'Tipping The Velvet' had a number of quite distictively 'Victorian' sex toys for 'ladies who favour the flatter shoe' including strap-ons and other assorted dildos usually carved from ivory/wood or stitched together from leather.

'ladies who favour the flatter shoe'
SCreams from the top of his voice, "GooooooooD Morning Victoriana!"

Many BSDM tool/toys are far from modern in design, most having a very mediaeval feel to them. Most of these could be used, but described with a more steampunk slant.

I recognised the wooden paddle from the Cumberton clothing cleansing device we had repaired earlier. She spun it in her hand and that mischievous glint to her eyes returned.

You could also throw in some mad science.

The Inaudible Oscillator originally designed as a weapon of distraction for the theatre of war had been discarded in favour for the more bloody weapons of destruction. Easily obtained through the right people the wave cone emitter can be narrowed for a very focused beam. In the right hands and aimed well the effects, even on those fully attired, can be highly stimulating.

The Lady Farrow's steel boned corset makes a perfect sounding board and a wonderful target even of 20 yards across a crowded room. Her desires will be flared and fires of passion torched.

Oh, you are a wonderful lot. Thanks immensely for all of the replies everyone, you are such a huge help!

@ValancyJane: Thank you very much for the link! The Pulsoconn hand-crank idea found in there is definitely one I shall be lifting.

@J. Wilhelm: Ah, it's "Ms.", my good sir. My apologies for not specifying that in my profile -- I really should get on that. You don't appear too uptight at all, and I thank you for all of your suggestions and input! I didn't think to look through the Lady Clankington thread here because I was already familiar with Lady Clankington's devices, and it didn't occur to me that other people would be discussing other ideas on there as well. Now that you've informed me, I shall certainly take a look through it right now. Also, I am sincerely grateful for you explaining the mechanics behind everything, since it is extremely valuable information for both me as a writer and the character as a mechanic. Thank you for all of your help, I greatly appreciate it!

@Capt. Dirigible: Oh, thank you for the recommendation! Visuals are always inspiring -- I'll have to see if I can find 'Tipping the Velvet' online so I can check it out.

@elShoggotho: That... is terrifying. The facial expression, that is.  Cheesy Thank you so much for sharing!

@MechanicalMouse: Oh dear lord, I love you. Ingenious. I especially love that mad science idea of yours, because it fits so perfectly with the post-war world I have in mind! I can't thank you enough for the suggestion!

@Mr Peter Harrow, Esq: Ooh, that is a very interesting idea! Excellent, thank you! I'm not familiar with the mechanics of hydraulic power, however, and Google isn't helping much -- could you possibly elaborate on that?

Yeah, that thread is getting very long (isn't it?). It;s just been a few days!!  On second thought, it may be more practical to post "mechanical ideas" here, in this thread, as it seems that the Lady Clankington thread is "oscillating" in purpose and intent, shall we say?   Some reference was made to that thread showing signs of Male Hysteria Roll Eyes

every time I try to picture combining steampunk and the equipment alluded to, I only hear the screams of some poor lady trying to dislodge her anatomy from the cogs and gears. makes the saying "tit in the wringer" sound almost pleasant in comparison.

the words "labia" and "hanging chad" flash through just before my brain reboots altogether.

Gah, thanks ever so much.

Things I'd just as soon not design and build have come to mind now.

brass egg with vinework pattern on the ouside, twist the top and botton in opposite directions and it winds like an egg timer.

Inside there are pegs that can be rearranged to effect the timing.

It ticks away when wound and when it encounters a peg sets off the silent ratchet/vibrating alarm instead of a bell for a period of time before stopping. and continues counting off antil the next peg is encountered. Was your lover kind and gave you time between attacks or are they set at three mins, seven and nine? or was is set to run contnuously on the next activation until it winds down? How long can that spring run it for?

That is an awesome idea, but brass (as nice as it looks) is not a good choice of material (on account of lead content).  However gold filled (thicker than gold plating) over brass would work.

There are plenty of lead-free brass alloys out there—most of the leaded ones are "free-machining" types or made for bearings and bushings (!). Still, I am not sure that brass is really the ideal metal for anything which might be insertable, as I would worry about things like copper getting transferred. I will note that at recent years of the Folsom Street Fair, I have seen a lot of stainless steel and borosilicate glass toys. Yes, not strictly Victorian, but since we aren't encouraging people to kill elephants or large sea mammals for tusks and teeth (ivory) some decisions may need to be made. Of course nitrocellulose (celluloid) is a 19th Century invention. Just be careful with the formulation: not all kinds of "bang" are desirable.

Can you elaborate on the copper transfer? (as far as toxicity for copper, it looks like an unusual genetic predisposition in humans is always required before getting any disease like copper induced Cirrosis or Wilson's disease).  How about epoxy resin over copper (or any other metal for that matter)?  

EDIT (sudden brain-sputter): Guess what the alchemical symbol for copper is?

Well, I have had, once or twice, some short-lived (a day or two) numbness in my fingers after working with copper for hours, particularly from getting the powder form of it all over my fingers while working with abrasives, and having it react with sweat and skin to form a green area. I can't say for sure that this effect would happen from, say, 30 minutes contact with moist and sensitive regions of the anatomy, but honestly this is one of those things I have no desire to discover the, er, hard way. The fact that bodily fluids are a bit ionic makes me think that corrosion is not something we can neglect.
Yes, I confess that I have given this issue a bit of thought over the last few years...

Your offer is interesting.  I'll start with the very basics first.  I will work with materials at hand  for now ( youll see why soon), but will take warnings on toxicity in consideration.

I think I'll postpone the more machiavelic (piston mechanism), for now, but I can envision a glass piece there.  I think a couple of people could potentially be interested as well.
  
Yeah I read those articles.  Wilson's disease is strictly a hereditary disease where the body is unable to process copper properly ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson%27s_disease BTW Dr Samuel A K Wilson died in 1937, I don't know what the relationship to Dr Lawrence Wilson in the web site you quote is... Seems to be a private holistic wellness ctr. ).   Cirrosis and other effects from ingesting copper are related to amounts greater than 10 mg/day ( relatively high if you think of minerals on diet), and is lethal in doses on the order of grams (about 100 times higher).

In any case, I'll use epoxy to make sure no transfer takes place.  Really outside of stainless steel or glass, there isn't much of one wants to avoid plastics.

as far as ivory goes, there are casting plastics that can be made to look very much the part. there are clear resins that can be tinted and colored with metallic powders, perhaps a faux brass or copper could be had that way.

victorians did like their big colorful baubles, perhaps if the working end was cast to look like a large crystal or gemstone? it could be lit from within by LEDs. it could have fake steam using canned air and it could also be used to freeze genital warts off. j/k

seems to me if you managed to combine a few design features, it could easily shout steampunk. manege to get a few of these in the mix...
rivets
fossils, possibly bone or ivory.
geartrains or cogworks
leather
egyptology
oriental artwork
brass, copper or gold.
intricate artwork or filigree.
crystals or art glass.

while it would most likely be more diesel than steamy, how about an acrylic replica of a large vaccuum tube? a small LED could cast light on the inside like a heater circuit and it could be filled with all sorts of wires and shielding.

How about something like this replacing the glass casing with solid, clear resin? I guess you'd need to remove the glass leaving the element and base intact and then find an appropriatly shaped mold, almost fill it with clear resin and insert the element while still liquid. When it sets, remove it from the mold and you'd have what looks like a big ol' valve but with a solid, unbreakable smooth rounded  'bulb'.

Very good idea.  There are so many tube sizes and shapes!  I have seen some people cast in resin (and I did too).  Taking care to mix properly and also to avoid bubbles is important for a realistic effect.  You can introduce LED lighting like Mr. vonPifka said, or even orange electroluminescent wire to simulate the filament in a bulb.  (Edit:  Mr. VonPifka: I don't know about the wart freezing though. What if you freeze to much? Ha, ha, ha ha!)  

It depends on the style you want;  for the "reciprocating" toy I'd have a box with switches and tubes sticking out in that fashion  Roll Eyes I've also been thinking of test tubes filled with "mysterious" creatures for a real horror effect! Grin. One of our members at brassgoggles was really good with sculpey/Fimo and resin, making chtulhoid little monsters in test tubes!  Edit:  I've considered "brass" or "gold" colored Fimo, but it always manages to look artificial.  In my watches I use a really small amount in each piece,  but it is intentionally scorched with a torch, and that makes it look less artificial (post-apocalyptic style).
