While stuck in a couple of America’s busiest airports recently, I came across this curious device: [iGallop Core and Abs Exerciser](http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?product_code=531707&search_type=search&search_words=saddle&prodtemp=t2) I saw several women trying it out. It looks like an electronic saddle, and is advertised as having three levels of “speed and intensity”. I only saw women trying it, and mostly they had shit-eating grins on their faces. So, what’s your take? Exercise equipment or any excuse for an orgasm? ---

I’ve seen and tried them out. They don’t “vibrate” by any means but rather move the saddle to the sides and back so you have to use your abs, back, and obliques to constanly adjust to keep yourself upright. Just another overpriced excercise toy. ---

There is a very similar type of device that _does_ vibrate, and has a dildo type attachment. Or so I’ve been told. ---

That’s awesome! However, there is a much cheaper, low tech [option.](http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/12/74/23407412.jpg) ---

It (the OP’s link) is supposed to be like riding a horse. Not sure if that’s gonna get anyone off, unless they really like horses. Sybians: highly overrated. And uggggly. And LOUD. ---
