No, This is Not a Dough Docker.

About the Wartenberg Pinwheel...
Here at the Art of Loving we try to keep things organized. So, when people come in and see our metal showcase, we always get some curious conversations about the things in there. The metal showcase does look somewhat medical and sterile compared to the silicone dildos… Metal butt-plugs, yeah whatever. Metal wands, sure ok we know that. Now what in the world is that prickly thing? A (just learned that pie prickers are called this) dough docker? Is this for torture? Who wants this?
The Wartenberg Wheel originates from medicine and neurological examinations. It’s a tool to make sure your nerves are working properly. When a doctor uses it, they will monitor your reactions as each pin gently pokes your skin. If you react, that’s a good thing! If your body overreacts, we might have different nerve issues! It’s not supposed to be torture but sometimes medical feels that way anyway.
Someday somewhere many minds figured out how great a tool this is for their BDSM lifestyles. The anticipation and slight fear from this frightening thing drives people wild. There is a level of trust needed to use more “dangerous” gear, so make sure your communication is ultra clear and set your boundaries. It’s sharp and pointy! Light rolls won’t puncture skin but if you go too hard you may poke through someone. Combine sensation play with bondage to take/loose more control in the bedroom. Or set up a medical scene where someone is being examined, or a scene where you are a pie being pricked. Whatever floats your boat!
Again, is this for torture? If you want it to be. If it’s all consensual and talked about before it happens! Even if it’s just a prop for your setup, add some frightening flair to your night. Come in and experience the Wartenberg Wheel yourself before getting one or surprise your kinky partner with something new.
Peace and love.
