Figure at rest inside a latex vacuum bed (video)
Link to video and photos on artist Danilo Pascuali's fine arts blog. In some, the figure is clutching a rosary or crucifix. (thanks, Reverse Cowgirl!)

...damn, now I have to buy one!
It reminds me of an art piece I saw a while back called "H.S. In Carbonite" by a certain Mr. Hutt.
That looks very nice. Although I guess the model is having less fun.
Is that bad for you? Wouldn't it draw the blood to the surface of the skin?
use thermoplastic,pop her in the oven and make a permanent mold
That was pretty nifty.
@Luketheobscure +1
Pretty neat, but warn us next time the link is possibly NSFW.
Keep up the good work!
Anybody else watch webdrifter? They visited a sex-dungeon-doctor guy once and put the host in one of these. Apparently they are used for some kind of sexual deviance.
I can't stand having the covers too tight. That would put me in full on panic mode.
@9
sexual "deviance"? Hey, no one is calling you "deviant" for that thing with the weasel costume and enamel paint.
And you wonder why boingboing gets put on block lists for censorware.
;-)
Oh crap, wrong thread. Should go under "2 Girls 1 Cup"
oh come on people - everything off kilter or so called "deviant" is not sexual. This is about as "sexual" as a floor lamp or a cloud. It is only deemed "sexual" because their is a small group of people out there who think it is cool to be weird, and calling something "sexual" just makes it more sensational - that's all. How could you possible orgasm from this contraption? or feel somehow intimate with another human? It is just wierd, that's all, like people with tattoos claiming to "express their individuality" by picking a piece from a catalogue. As one nonconformist said to the other -"count me in too!". These folks must be very lonely....
It just proves Andy's long standing point - "art is what you can get away with..."
whoop dee doo.
NEXT.
This is about as "sexual" as a floor lamp
Remind me not to turn the lights on if I visit your house.
This is a variant of mummification, which is considered a sexual practice by its practitioners. Not all sexual practices involve orgasm. Intimacy can be a byproduct of power relationships in SMBD. Next you'll be claiming that squirting milk out your ass isn't sexual.

NSFW (but you'll click it anyway)
Kinda reminds me the Abstract Daddies in Silent Hill 2. I'd love to know what it feels like to be inside that thing.
Vac beds are highly sexual for those with mummification and latex fetishes (while totally squicky for those of us with claustrophobia issues and immobility issues).
I'd get a highly charged sexual thrill from being able to put a partner into one of these, then tease and torment their body with the barrier between us, before moving on to more intimate tactile play.
@The Specialist :
Just because it doesn't turn you on, doesn't mean that all six billion people on this planet share your view. Human sexuality is more diverse than you can imagine.
I have seen this device several years ago in a documentary about a dominatrix who teaches a sex class. She puts her students in it. it is definitely a sexual toy.
to some,to me it is merely art
thank you all, so very much, for creating a new definition of sexuality.
artists do that a lot.
new?
