    I can't imagine that it would outperform my hand to such a great degree that I'd be willing to try it. Assuming that it actually isn't designed to be a cuisinart (no matter what it looks like), how do you avoid getting your hair caught in the machinery?


    Besides, my hand knows exactly what I want - it's like it can read my mind!

    And it's programmed to respond to input from porn movies.


    Will it work if I input the Teletubbies? Not that I get off to the Teletubbies like that. I mean c'mon that's weird... But if I did, would it work?

    God, that looks dumb.


    In fact, if you want to me write a whole review about how dumb it is -- and, y'know, reimburse me for buying one -- that would be pretty cool.

    @jbq: In the interest of true scientific integrity, I think first I need to make sure I'm versed in its primary use.


    @crashedpc: You don't want to know.

    Looking at the book linked to from Annalee's post, I'm skeptical. How do we know other female primates don't have orgasm? Did they strap various monkeys and apes into EEG, PET or MRI rigs to see what their brains did as they got busy?


    And while we're on the subject are we so sure female orgasm doesn't exist in other mammals too? I'm thinking it does but we won't know until we look--which is my point.


    Human female orgasm would less mysterious if we knew it it existed in all female mammals.

    @corpore-metal: I can remember an article, for some reason, I think it's a Gould article, where he discusses this. I don't remember if it gets to other primates, but it does cover other mammals, and the act of bringing them to the state of orgasm, which is implied to not be something that would 'naturally' happen.


    I don't remember the discussion of the means. That might be my mind shutting down to prevent having to worry about getting the job of Orangutan Dildoer some day.
