Question
My girlfriend enjoys being tied up and having me use a vacuum cleaner on her genitals. We want to try putting the hose inside her vagina and turning it on. We'd of course use lube and make sure everything is sterile. Is this safe?

Answer
At eXtremeRestraints.com we sell a lot of pumping gear. Generally the idea is that pumping erogenous zones engorges them and makes them more sensitive. I'm not sure that you'd get that same kind of desirable effect internally. You're also working with a much more powerful vacuum than the little pumps that we sell generate, and with no release valve. It honestly sounds like emergency room situation that's just waiting to happen. Guys have injured their penises with vacuums, and your penis might be more durable that your girlfriend's innards. Unless some medical professional contradicts me, I'd recommend against the internal vacuum cleaner thing.  
 We do sell a good pussy pump cylinder for external use that I think might be a lot more safe. Our clit pumping cylinders are also popular. Keep in mind that if you're using traditional pumping cylinders you can remove the pump and they'll maintain pressure so you can leave them in place. I know that all of that is pricier than the vacuum you already own, but I think that they'd be a lot safer.
