How about more options in the sex toy department for guys? All we have is the Fleshlight...the girls get 1000 different options, yet the guys get one. Unfair.
@SilverBlade2k: Just one? Actually men have the Fleshlight, a range of sleeves, the Lelo Homme Bo (one of my favorites), the wedge, a variety of other c-rings and more. Granted, not as much as the ladies, but there's a growing range of products for men, too. Have fun exploring your options.
Maybe they can team up with Gene Simmons and put out a KISS version. He's such a merchandise whore anyway so I doubt he'd say no to it. They can even take a mold of his tongue for authenticity.
And if that doesn't work maybe they can get a mold of Ballmer's bovine-like mouth snake....
In the coming months, I wonder if they'll make other attachments, sort of like how for the fleshlight they have different textures/sizes, etc? I am by no means an expert in sex toys, but it would seem like a solid business strategy to offer up any number of different attachments.
Something ribbed, something with small dimples, smaller, thinner strips side by side, etc.
I mean, the existence of sex toys in the first place sort is pretty much predicated on the fact that sometimes, the same thing doesn't work (or work as well) for everybody.
Were I the one selling this product, you'd better believe I'd think of a way to sell various "wheels", or perhaps have one with an internal lubrication device. In fact, I'd probably go so far as to have a lube device that used a rechargable pack that my company would produce with our own lube.
I mean, aside from the sex factor, this thing really is an interesting study in how to develop an ecosystem for repeat customers in gadget creation.
@debbyherbenick: Nice, glad to see that while I might not come up with ideas first, I am at least able to accurately predict a sensible path towards profit for a company. I'll leave out the obligatory "stimulus package" joke..wait, dammit...
Given that this is likely to require the use of generous amounts of lube, and the fact that the paddle wheel is enclosed, am I the only one who sees this thing quickly turning into a health hazard?
Umm, surely I am not the only one made nervous by the motorized-axle-plus-pinchy-looking-gap-on-the-sides thing there? It was the second thing I noticed. I don't have a sense of scale on how big that thing is or whether the nightmare scenarios I'm envisioning would be possible, but I'm just saying. Terrifying.
@debbyherbenick, any comment on that particular mechanic of it? Serious inquiry. : -)
@Scottique: Are you referring to the bottom space where the tongues go back into? Or which part specifically?
The toy itself is 4.5" X 4" X 1inch (at its thickest). I'll post photos of Twitter (@mysexprofessor) that show it more in scale (like, in reference to my hand - not, um, anywhere else).
@debbyherbenick: Yes, exactly, where the tongues go back in, where the side of the tongue-wheel meets the holder/motor. Is there a possibility of it catching-and-pulling either skin or hair?
@Scottique: It's a new toy so I can't say what the chances are (need data/more users!) however, I didn't have that problem. I did once get my pinky finger caught in that bottom section but it immediately stopped the (very) soft silicone tongues from moving and slid right out. It didn't hurt at all.
I can see how women with very long labia might want to be cautious while stimulating their labia; focusing on the clitoral area may be more pleasurable for them. Then again,women with long labia sometimes have the "getting caught" issue even with intercourse (though they also get the pleasures having something to nibble on during oral).
Regarding hair, I'd think pubic hair would have to be pretty long to get in the way with this thing. Like, CRAZY long. Maybe even braid-able. And if hair is that long, it's probably getting in the way of oral sex, anyway (free dental floss though).

This supposed to be a blog about gadgets, not sex toys.
