FB: Puzzles of Pain

OK, first things first. The tease links to this page for those doing the tease a second time, so this first post is addressed to those who followed that link. The tease has links to six puzzles for first-timers, but after that you should feel free to pick different pictures from the puzzle site every time you do this tease. Also, if you find a set of pictures you like, you can post a set of links farther down in the discussion, perhaps with a description of what you were looking for in this set. Maybe you want to share a "Beach party" or "Care-free Women" set, or pictures which focus on a particular age, ethnicity, or anatomical feature. Also, I am hoping that a few women would post links to a few sets of "female-friendly" puzzles, since am a male who has no idea which pictures would qualify there.

You can get to the base puzzle web site at:

http://www.jigsawgirls.com

Note that this site lets you play any picture with any puzzle-piece arrangement. Just hover your mouse over the picture you want, and there will be a pop-up list of the available arrangements. To keep the same tease difficulty, please use the following arrangements in order from easiest to hardest:

100 Piece Classic
100 Piece Elegant
150 Piece Classic
150 Piece Elegant
100 Piece Mosaic
150 Piece Mosaic

If you deviate from this list of arrangements, please note that you are doing so, because it could have a big impact on the difficulty and severity of the tease.

A few other thoughts you may want to consider when picking which pictures to use: look at the picture geometrically, and observe what percent of the puzzle area is the model vs. the background. I find it more interesting to do puzzles where the model fills up the frame. Also, well-lit pictures seem to work better. Finally, I would suggest a progression, starting with the most conservative pictures as the easiest puzzles, and the sexiest pictures for the more difficult ones. All of these thoughts are suggestions, you can take them or leave them.

So, bottom line, if you are doing this tease for the second time, you can find your own set of pictures, and if you find a really good one you can share by posting links here. Alternatively, as people join this discussion, you may want to scroll down and look for sets published by others.

The next post starts the more general discussion.

OK, to start with, this tease is largely a copy of the older "Games of Pain" tease by Mickie. There are two things you can infer about the fact that I took the time to copy someone else's tease. First, I really like that tease! It is one of my favorites. It seems to be about the right amount of pain, challenging but not too ridiculous. I like the fact that as I play the game, I "own" the pain. It is my fault that I matched this game with this torment, and that I am not good enough at this game to have finished it already. I like the fact that the tease is written for both men and women. Even though there are plenty of teases for us males, sometimes what helps get me through a tough game is imagining a woman somewhere suffering the same torment as me at the same time, and we encourage each other through it. Finally, I like what I call the tease's "replay-ability", both from the random dice rolls and the fact that different games can be matched with different torments each time the tease is done. It really never is quite the same experience twice.

On the other hand, I wouldn't make a copy of a tease if I couldn't find something to improve upon. Each of the games referenced by the "Games of Pain" tease has different rules, and in particular I never did figure out "Demigod". I also don't like the "kneeling on rice" torment, as food-play never has been my thing. So I normally skip both "Demigod" and the kneeling on rice. Also, some of the games are interruptible, but some aren't, and some of the torments require periodic interruptions in the game. For example, how are you supposed to play "multitask" while pausing every few minutes to do jumping jacks? Finally, there is nothing sexy about the games themselves. Sometimes I have been willing to give up on a tough game, because I was no longer so aroused and desperate to cum.

Still, I kept coming back to this tease, because of all the things I like about it. Then, I recently discovered the "Jigsaw Girls" website, and quickly realized that it could solve all my problems with the "Games of Pain" tease. While the puzzles can be played at varying levels of difficulty, the general idea is always the same: you put together a virtual jigsaw puzzle, so there is nothing new to figure out with each puzzle. These puzzles are all interruptible, and as you solve it you are revealing a very sexy image.

Since then, I played the "Games of Pain" tease many times, substituting these puzzles for the games. Its worked so well, that I figured it was time to share this variation with the larger Milovana community.

One concern I have is that I am advertising this as a tease for both men and women, but all the puzzles are pictures of sexy women. The reality is I would have no interest in doing a similar tease with erotic pictures of men, so I feel like a hypocrite for suggesting that women would enjoy this tease. I posted another thread a while back (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18835), asking if this was awkward for women, and what I might do to make the tease more female-friendly, but no one responded to that thread. I am still open to suggestions.

As with my first tease, I appreciate hearing of your experiences with it, and receiving constructive feedback. If I amend the tease based on your comments, I will note it to give you credit here, though not in the tease itself.

So, who's ready for a puzzling and painful experience?

Thanks for the tease! I'm not as good at jigsaws as I thought I would be..

First round I rolled 20 pegs on my balls, and attempted the mosaic which took me 41:42.
2nd round was 10 spanks per minute, finished the 100 classic in 17:11
3rd was 8 pegs and jumping jacks each 4 minutes. I again put them securely on my balls, and attempted the 150 elegant, finished in 34:23
4th round was 5 whips on nips and balls every 1:30, and I completed the 100 elegant in 19:04.
I was running out of time, so skipped the last 2 puzzles and took the penalties.

I think I will play it again, but for my personal taste have slightly easier puzzles, but with more intense punishments.

I love your style cause I love tasks and chores in teases! ;) One of my favoites was one where you had to solve math puzzles and similar stuff while listening to porn and/or edging etc.

Me personally I like flash teases more, cause it gives you more of a sense of being forced a certain pattern.

Anyway: Good work! ;)

Thanks for the feedback, spammy287 and mr-max. It had been a few days since I published my latest tease, and I was starting to wonder if anyone had enjoyed it.

Realizing that this is a fairly long tease, I would say that it is not cheating to break it up and do just parts of it at a time, so long as one keeps track of which puzzles remain available, and forgoes any orgasm until the last puzzle is done (or longer, depending on how the dice roll). I think I'll edit the tease to add that to the instructions.

As for liking more intense punishments, you may want to check out my other tease, "Self-bondage challenge".

I think I know which tease you are referring to: "College Tease Toy 2". That was also one of my favorites, though I noticed that it disappeared from the tease list some time ago. I liked it for one of the same reasons as "Games of Pain". In each case, you "own" the pain, because you haven't finished the game yet or because you are not good enough in math. You may also like Mickie's other tease, which is still available on Milovana, called "Boomshine Edge Game".

I had never thought of doing a remake of either "College Tease Toy" or "Boomshine Edge Game", because I couldn't find anything to improve upon for either of them. But now that I think about it, with "College Tease Toy" removed from Milovana... I know that we are not supposed to attempt to re-created removed teases, as the original authors had their reasons for removing them. But perhaps I may try to come up with something similar.

Regarding flash teases, I know there are some very good ones available here, but I find that for most of them I just end up getting bored with too many long timers. That said, the other two ideas I had for new teases (not counting the new similar-to-"College Tease Toy" idea) would both be done as flash teases, though without many (if any) timers. I know in a non-flash tease, you can instruct the user to jump around by changing the page number in the address bar, but both of my remaining ideas would require too much jumping around to make that practical. Flash teases with multiple buttons are much simpler for the user. Also, both of these tease ideas would have critical cases of "You must make a decision here", where I don't want to make it too easy for people to cheat and see both alternatives.

I'd love if you would do something like College Tease Toy. ;)

Keep up the good work!
