Hi, any DreamLover 2000 users out there?

Hi,

I'm new to CM and have enjoyed what I've been reading, but figured it's time to stop lurking.

I saw there was recently a post with a link to the DL2K site. I'm NOT doing that. I recently discovered Chastity Mansion and have been looking to see if there are any sites that DL2K users frequent that are independent of the manufacturer. I'm curious to hear honest unfiltered opinions and experiences.

I followed the developer's blog site regularly as he struggled to bring it to market and get it approved for sale all the while wondering (as many others) "what will this thing COST?" Well it finally became a reality, the price put it beyond my discretionary funds. $1500 (roughly) was a heck of a price for a sex toy. But the amount of functions and detail that went into this thing had my gadget side hooked. I was obsessed. She'd told me I could order it if I found a way to pay for it that wouldn't impact the family's finances. It took me 3 months but I'd managed it. I'd hoped to surprise my wife with it, as we'd discussed it extensively as it was being developed, but the FedEx arrived when she was home and I wasn't. She called me and said, "do you have something to tell me?" She actually was excited to try it too, but a bit afraid. Funny, it wasn't going to be shocking HER. But she cares for my best interest.

I should probably start out by explaining that we are not lifestylers when it comes to chastity. We practice it occasionally. I do not wear a device consistently. The longest I've gone without orgasm has been 2 weeks. I find it a fun thing to do, and yes, sex is more fun when you're horny. When we do engage in chastity play I am on the honor system during the weekdays, and I respect it. I will sometimes (usually after the first couple days) wear a CB after the kids go to bed, since she goes to sleep before me. This both is exciting and limits temptations to cheat. But after my morning shower I'm out. *Except on weekends*. she greatly enjoys the dramatically increased productivity she gets from me during this time. I actually get a lot of satisfaction out of the increased focus and discipline as well.

I trust my wife implicitly, but I'm not really a sub, I'm a switch with dom tendencies. I'm essentially training her dominant side by topping from below. I do not wish to be sissified, nor does she wish me to be, but I do appreciate a strong woman, and this gives her an opportunity to practice that. I do not want to see her with another man, nor does she want to be with one. I can genuinely relate to the psyche of the chastity lifestyle, and I respect it, but it's just not a full-time thing for us.

Back to the point.

Got the DL2K. It is stunning in it's presentation. The remote is tiny and has smart safety features. The USB stick allows it to be operated by ANY internet enabled device from anywhere in the world. My wife can call, ask how the laundry is coming along, and zap me while driving home. Our personal favorite part is that it has a tiny vibrator/motor that allows her to send numbered commands to me (morse code) - massage, clean, cook, fetch, etc. She loves being able to demand a massage without having to even SAY it.

Enough raving. On to the problems I encountered. At first when I tried the device on I was unable to get a shock at all. I had followed the instructions and it seemed like it should work, but nothing. I pushed the button on the remote, nothing, again, nothing, adjusted the angle of the device to see the lights, again, OUCH! I'd struck paydirt. It worked. Then it didn't. Then it did! Then it didn't. WTF? I emailed the vendor (who was VERY responsive - less than an hour!) who said I needed to double check the installation of the probes. I reseated everything and still had the same problem. Then I realized, that when I tilted the device forward, it would work. It wasn't the electrodes on my skin, but the connectors INSIDE the device that weren't getting proper solid connection. I tightened the screws and it worked PERFECTLY. Later I got some brass washers to allow for more contact without having to over-tighten the screws.

There are 3 levels of shock. As I describe them 1.Hi! 2.I said HELLO! and 3.Yo!!! mutherfuka!!! 3 hurts if she hits it more than twice in 15 seconds. All of it is essentially an immediate pain only. Level 3 stings for a good 5-10 seconds. But the best part is that no matter how many times she does it, it is ALWAYS alarming. She gets a real kick out of making my twitch. It also has a summon button that even less powerful than level 1, but fires in rapid succession such that it very effectively makes me move my ass!

The second problem I ran into was the motor (arousal inducer) stop working reliably. Something went wrong inside the wiring and it became unreliable. This was very sad as the remote instructions were our favorite function. Again I contacted the vendor and again he was very responsive. I described the problem and he said I'd probably broken the reinforced connector joint. I didn't feel like I'd abused it in any way, but I also understood that he had no way to know that without seeing it. He offered to sell me a new motor for $35. Considering the unit was $1500 I thought this quite reasonable. Apparently the motors are out of production and can no longer be acquired. He sent me a new motor & housing (they're all assembled into one part.) I unscrewed the old housing, put the new one on and it worked...for about 30 minutes. Then it was like the battery had run out. WTF? I reconnected the old motor, and it worked OK. I reconnected the new motor, and same problem again, but now the device started rebooting when trying to activate the motor.

I contacted the vendor again. He responded in a few hours and said I would need a new battery that he could sell me ($15) or I could :"make" one from the basic battery (sold at any specialty electronics store) by taping the connector to it. I did this and it worked. For about an hour. It seemed the new motor had run the NEW battery down. The weirdest part was that it seemed to run it down even without USING the motor. What was worse was that the accelerometer was now ALSO not working correctly. So the Penis Slap Amplifier Mode and the Canine Mode no longer worked.

I contact the vendor again. Again responding within a few hours he said I would need to send it to him for inspection. I decided that since I now had a replacement motor, I didn't have anything to lose by cutting the silicone sheath off the original motor. When I did this I discovered that I hadn't "broken" the part he was talking about at all, but rather the wires INSIDE the vinyl coatings had broken from moving about and being tugged on. I went ahead and stripped and re-soldered the connections. The old motor worked GREAT again, but now the silicone coating was off the motor would not be waterproof. I used some duct-tape to cover the device and it worked fine, but after another day of use, the part that attaches the DL2K to the posts of the CB6K managed to tear and break. Thankfully this is part of the lower housing (the replacement part he'd sent, so the new one could replace it.) I went ahead and mailed off the device to be inspected and repaired since the accelerometer still didn't work right.

There was a little bit of a delay as he had to move to another address, so I waited until he had the new address. He received it, informed me of his findings and had some concerns. There were conditions of the device that I told him I had caused and others that were 'like that' when it arrived. He told me the motor was weak due to a poor connection on the board. This didn't make sense since a poor connection shouldn't ever run down the battery. He asked if I'd prefer a replacement instead since this motor was weaker than average (apparently they vary a bit.) I opted for this and he said he'd have to order one from his warehouse. I waited about a week for him to get the part and ship it out. It should be here Monday. I can't wait for it to get back. It has been the best sex toy my wife and I have ever played with, and that list isn't short...although, we haven't tried a TENS unit...yet.

I know it's a long winded story about dealing with a vendor (not so sexy), but this being such a unique device in such a short run, I can understand how small businesses and new products are not the same situation as Sony selling 5million units of some electronic item, so I'm interested to see if there are others out there and what their experiences have been.

 

@Hardy - I'm not sure what kind of shock the dog collar produces in comparison, but according to the developer's blog he spent a lot of time & effort researching what was the best method and he opted for DC (I guess most other devices are A/C) for the purpose of making the shock local, more like a slap. The pulses (3 levels) are very customizable, but I've left the defaults as they work just fine for us.) My wife rarely uses anything but level 1, Level 2 is reserved for when I have already been told something and failed to remember/follow directions/do it correctly. Level 3 is reserved for arguing or disagreeing...this doesn't happen much anymore and you can imagine why. I'm also not sure whether dog collar devices can sustain submersion, this one so far is WATERPROOF. The biggest difference, however, is that with the DL2K it can be set to activate on a timer. The 3 we have programmed are:
1 - level 1 pulse every two minutes for half an hour
2 - level 1 every minute for half an hour
3 - 3 x level 2 pulses over 15 seconds (this is reserved for serious correction. Then she usually stands right behind me, grabs my ass or crotch and moans with delight as they hit.)

As for the range, it's good for up to about 75 feet outdoors, and works through about 4 sheetrock walls indoors. I have tons of 2.4GHz AP's and they don't interfere. I only wish I could find a sing remote control bullet that had half the range or reliability of this device. There are some failings, but range is not one that's been an issue at all.


@Aniyan - I'm now having troubles with the accelerometer which affects the Canine mode and the Penis Slap Amplifier mode. The vendor says he will send me a replacement circuit board. At one point last week it would reboot any time a pulse was sent, but the vibrator would activate fine. This was strange in that the vibrator uses more battery life than the pulse. Then later in the week it automagically started working again. The accelerometer was again working for CM but in PSA mode a single slap would fire the device endlessly (ouch!) until PSA mode was deactivated. The results have been unpredictable. I'll let you know how the new board works out.

As for the new device they released, it is a "lite" version of the original. It doesn't have the vibrator, which leaves a lot to be desired, The benefit of the tiny vibrator is that she can send me commands without having to say anything. She can demand that I rub her, fetch, etc. If I don't properly recognize the command there is a quick punishment and then she sends it again. I pay VERY CLOSE attention to the pattern the second time. As for the availability of the motors, according to his blog they were produced in Russia and are no longer manufactured. They are very flat little vibrators so they fit inside the CBx000 tube without keeping one from being able to urinate.

I've been following the development of his product for a year before it became available to the public. I don't think the company is much more than a handful of people. This isn't produced by a big manufacturer, but rather one guy who went on a veritable quest, including camping out at the fabrication plant in China to get it built to his specs. So I understand if there are problems, and I hope some day he does sell his brilliant design to a big brand like Doc Johnson, or Ca; Exotics.

 

Some fun we had last week:

As I mentioned in an earlier post, our chastity play is based on the honor system. I don't orgasm without my wife's permission, and if I feel tempted I'll lock myself up. I have access to the key, but our rule is that if I put it on at night, it stays on until after I've showered and dressed the next mroning.

So it happenned this last week that after about 3 days I started feeling a bit frisky and I was home alone Thursday night while she went on a girl's night out. I locked myself up and she came home so tired that she went to bed before me, and I woke and showered and dressed before her. So I unlocked myself, went to work and she never even knew. It's a rule that I don't ask her for sex, and I don't tell her I'm horny. I wait for her to intiiate.

Friday night I got home late and she was having dinner with the kids at friends'. Being home alone I had the urge, so I locked myself up again. Once the kids were in bed and we finally were alone she sat down, looked at me and asked, "So, ya' want a blow job?"

"That sounds great," I said, wondering how I would manage to get out of the cage without her noticing. We headed to the bedroom , but she had to use the bathroom first.

"You, strip. I'll be right out," she said as she shut the door behind her. Unfortunately for me the keys were behind the door she'd just closed. I stripped down, laid on the bed and got under the covers. When she came back out, she had that mischevious grin going and asked, "so you want standing sitting or lying down?"

At this point I figured she was going to find out sooner or later, so I said, "if you're going to blow me, we're gonna need your keys."

Her eyes lit up. She grabbed the covers and flung them back, "Oohhhoohhh! The GAME has CHANGED!" She stared at her newly discovered treasure and decided what to fo next.

"So are you gonna get your keys," I asked?

"Oh I don't THINK so. I have got a lot of laundry that needs to be folded this weekend...hmmm," she considered her options. "I think YOU are going to be the one doing the work tonight." She sat down next to me and picked up her iPad. After a few seconds of wondering what she expected I felt one short, and four long buzzes from the vibrator under my penis. 'Rub' was command one. I sat down behind her and began running her as she discussed her day, and what I would be doing for her tomorrow.

She activated the timer on the vibrator to buzz for two 1-seond burst each minute for the next half hour, "to remind you of your situation, and who's in charge" she told me. After about half an hour my hands were getting sore but I knew better than to complain. She decided she'd had enough and gazed over at the fresh laundry baskets.

"You've got four minutes to get that one folded," she informed me as she set the countdown timer on her phone. Then she laid back and began playing a crossword game on her iPad. I knew there was no way I'd get it done in less than twenty. "This is what we call an impossible task," she said.

I sprang from the bed and began folding laundry as quickly as I could. Here it was 10:30 at night, and I was ENTHUSIASTICALLY folding laundry. How many wives wish they had that? After four minutes her timer chimed and I saw her change apps on her iPad. Shortly after that she went back to her game, never looking up. I continued folding, and after 2 minutes my suspicions were confirmed. She'd activated the 2-minute pulse timer. She saw me twitch when it zapped me.

"Count them off," she demanded.

"One." I complied and began folding even more fervently. She grinned knowing how motivated I was. That she had a remote control to make me do as she pleased and I with no way to escape it.

The DL2K continued to shock my penis every two minutes as I folded my heart out. I began to anticipate the impending shocks as I knew the mark approached.

When I got to 10 she told me, "if you don't finish before the end of the sequence you'll get to experience the 1-minute reminders."

I got finished by the count of 13 but since it took her a few seconds to log back in and deactivate it I got to experience 14 as well. She motioned for me to lay down and be her teddy bear for the night.

In the morning the pancakes and coffee was ready in the morning by the time she stepped into the kitchen.


By sexualizing non-sexual activity our relationship has a whole new aspect that is fun and exceiting for both of us.

 

@Quarternion - Congrats on getting the solution to using the DL2K with a metal device. Does MM actually offer this, or is it something that needs to be done by the individual? I've been considering a MM cage but would be even more motivated if I could integrate the DL2K.

@All - after my last post I had a couple other problems. I was sent a replacement board. Apparently the warehouse hadn't updated the firmware, so a quick Skype session from Dream Lover Labs resolved the problem. The zapping has resumed. Glad to see there are others out there.
