That picture is like looking into the sun. But this swimwear serves a very important function—it enhances a man's package to combat the dreaded shrinkage effect.

Each pair of Rooster Booster swim trunks features a pocket and foam padding to "lift and separate" (so to speak). That means fat and hairy beachgoers no longer have to worry about shrinkage after a dip in the pool or ocean. Although, if they had any shame in the first place they would shave their back, put on a shirt and a pair of decent shorts. The Rooster Booster will be available soon from the aptly and hilariously titled Mr. BusyBalls. [Mr. BusyBalls via Gizmag]

<![CDATA[A Tribute to Creepy Guys Taking Pictures of Pretty Girls (NSFW)]]> Today we celebrate the unsung hero of the trade show, the creepy guy who stops at nothing to acquire the perfect shot of a girl who probably hates him.

The creepy SLR guy always carries a camera—often two or more—and uses amatuer cosplayers and paid models alike as some part of a bizarre mating ritual involving using a zoom lens (his not so indiscreet phallus) from three feet away.

So from now on, every time you browse some shady forum looking at a girl dressed up as a Final Fantasy character while showing a tad too much cleavage, know that this is how it really happened. Her legs aren't glistening in the light; they're covered in second hand sweat and geek pheromones. And a single hot shower can't undo that viscous coating. Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20

A special thanks to Erica Ho for trudging through some truly nasty waters to acquire these shots.

<![CDATA[Say You Love Her with Heart-Shaped Pork Dumplings]]> Screw chocolates. If you must be tacky and celebrate Valentine's, "tell her about your love with a heart-shaped pork dumpling instead of chocolate. Satisfaction guaranteed." At least, that's what my friend Kumiko says. [Thanks Kumiko]

<![CDATA[Giz and Fleshbot's Valentine's Sex Gadget Gift Guide (NSFW)]]> Valentine's Day is but a few days away—and if you're anything like us, you probably haven't even begun to think about buying a present for your loved (or lusted after) one. Here's help.

But it's okay—Gizmodo and Fleshbot are here for you, with a list of sexy gadgets sure to please each and every geek girl (and boy) out there. Cause remember: nothing says, "I love you" quite like a gadget (especially one that gives orgasms).

For the Apple fanatic: Lelo Gigi: True, Lelo's Stockholm headquarters are about 5390 miles from Cupertino, but from the looks of the Gigi, you'd never know it. With its sleek white handle and pretty colored shaft, it could easily pass for Steve Jobs's long lost offspring. It even has a click wheel!


For the phone lover: BodiTalk Escort: The iPhone app store may have cracked down on "adult" apps—but that doesn't mean you can't use your phone to get your rocks off. The BodiTalk Escort kicks into gear whenever a nearby cell phone is in use. Finally, you'll be able to live out those dreams of an iPhone menage a trois.


For the girl with too many cables: Lelo Mia: With all the chargers and cables in our lives, the last thing anyone needs is yet another gift with yet another easily lost power cord—which makes the USB-powered Mia so very, very refreshing. This little lipstick vibe needs nothing more than a computer to get its charge back—and with its discreet appearance, you should have no trouble charging it anywhere you go. (Just, uh, remember to wash it after using it.)


For the couple that geeks together: WeVibe: Valentine's Day isn't just about presents, presents, and more presents—it's about celebrating the deeply felt love that you and your partner share. And what better way to celebrate that love than with a gadget you can use together? The WeVibe is a flexible, C-shaped, silicone vibe that's worn by the lady during the sex, made to add a little extra bump to your bump and grind.


For the boys: Bo and Real Touch (see it in action here>: Sexy gadgets aren't just for girls—after years of giving all the good sex tech to the ladies, companies are finally starting to take notice of the other half of the population. We've got two good picks for boys. First up is thethe Bo, a cock gentleman's ring that—with its sleek silicone body and rechargeable motor—leaves those gummy rings with bullet vibes trailing in the dust. Secondly, there's the Real Touch, a robotic vagina that syncs with your favorite porn clips. It won't actually be on sale until later this month—but this is one IOU you can probably get away with.


For the porn loving lovers: FyreTV: If your idea of a romantic evening is watching other people getting it on, than look no further than FyreTV this Valentine's season. The discreet, Wi-Fi enabled box provides streams porn directly to your bedroom. And since their database of adult entertainment is constantly being updated, its definitely a gift that keeps on giving.


For the girl who has every (sex) gadget: Sasi: A few years ago, it seemed as though vibrator tech had pretty much reached its peak. Sure, you could make the batteries last longer, or switch up the pulse patterns, or find a funny new animal to stick on your toy—but for the most part, vibrator functionality was pretty much set. Vibrators were pieces of plastic that went inside the vagina or on top of the clitoris and vibrated. Maybe they twirled around a little, or had rotating pearls, but that was about the extent of their moving. Until the SaSi. With a revolutionary new method of stimulation, and programmable patterns, it's the best thing to happen to vibrators since, well, the birth of the vibrator.


When money is no object: Lelo Inez: We used to think that JimmyJane's $3250 Little Platinum Eternity was the height of luxury vibes—but that was before Lelo came out with Inez. The latest addition to the Lelo Luxe line, Inez will run you anywhere from $7900 (for stainless steel) to $10,500 (for gold plate). Money may not be able to buy you love—but giving someone a $10.5k vibrator will probably get you pretty far anyway.

Lux Alptraum is the editor of Fleshbot, the web's foremost blog about sex, porn, and the web, and founding editor of Boinkology, a blog about sex and culture.

<![CDATA[Heart MP3 Players Lock Together With a Kiss, Lock Us Over Sickbag]]> These MP3 players grab on to every single lovey-dovey Valentine's cliché: a separable pair of players for you and your other half, that look like kissing lovers when they're stuck together in a cutesy heart shape. We don't know where you can buy them, but we do know they've got touch controls, have 1GB memory each, cost the equivalent of $55 in China and are absolutely sick-makingly hideous.

<![CDATA[Worst Valentine's Gift Ever]]> We know that, as geeks, we're all tempted to take Valentine's Day to the "next level." Just so you know, this fiber optic rose is not that level.

Whether it's some sort of glowing undergarment or just a good old fashioned "I put no thought into your personality or the nature of our relationship" red/pink Nano, the word of the day is "restraint." Gizmodo's unsolicited advice: go classic on Valentine's Day. And no, you don't actually need to put thought into it, just a bit of money and an equal amount of taste.

And as with any holiday gift, avoid the words "fiber optic" like the plague.

Special features include seating for six, tacky red hearts, fountains, Valentine-red colors, a "playground area" (ooer) and MP3-ready stereo.

<![CDATA[Ego's Love Edition Laptop For the Geek in Your Life]]> Valentine's Day is just a few days away so if you don't have plans for your significant other, Tulip Ego has your back with their special Love Edition laptop. The notebook is clad in leather and its silver heart pendant can be engraved with any message you like, but other than that, pricing and features are mysteriously missing. Considering how their previous notebooks did, we're not expecting much, so you might be better off getting her something else.

<![CDATA[HTTP Panties]]> Another great gift for V-Day, these HTTPanties from Think Geek are perfect if either you or your lady is a nerd. You're reading Gizmodo, so we're sure about at least one half of that equation.

These panties have cute HTTP status messages on them, sporting "411 Length Required", "413 REquested Entity Too Large", "403 Forbidden", and "200 OK". As long as your lover's wearing the right set, you can always gauge her interest by just peeking in her pants. You know, cause verbal communication is so 2006.

<![CDATA[Rulered Sheets Make Sure You Stay On Your Side]]> Cool but not exactly gadgety, these rulered sheets are the perfect gift for V-Day to tell your lover to stay on their own side.

The numbers rise in coldness from 0 to 80, which gives you a good sense of exactly how much room you have to flop around with just a quick glance.

<![CDATA[Samsung a707 Painted Red for Valentine's Day]]> The Samsung A707 (you know, the music playin', jive talking', RAZR wannabe) is getting a nice coat of red paint just in time for Valentine's Day. The specs remain the same—2-megapixel camera, HSDPA, lots of different audio file format support, etc.—as does the price ($50 with two-year contract). And as we all know, nothing says "I love you" quite like a mass-produced, consumer market cellphone.

<![CDATA[Nice, But Maybe Not the Best Gift for the Ladies]]>


Yes, I know it seems like a video game kit may be the perfect Valentine's Day gift for your lady, but guys, I'm here to tell ya that unless she's really, REALLY cool, you may want to skip the Dream Arcades limited edition Pink or Red-themed Arcade Kits with pink or red ball-top joysticks and t-molding. Though the "gift of game" is being marketed as the perfect way to please her this February 14, maybe the limited-edition Valentine's Day version of the head-to-head and side-by-side arcade kits isn't really worth the $1049. In fact, I can assure you that two nights at the Four Seasons will make you a much happier man than a few hours of Ms. Pac Man—unless she's a Real Doll and/or is really into pies with pink bows. The Arcade kits are compatible with PC, Xbox and PlayStation 2 and upgrade control panels can be added to the kits for $169. That's just in case you don't take my advice.
