Then move it back and forth rapidly.

Yeah, and that site never says whether it can be used without those videos, which are apparently pay-per-view. Given that they claim  
‘FREE shipping  
FREE 30 minutes of viewing time  
and FREE 3.5 oz lubricant’  
is “a $50 value!”, I think it’d be more cost-efficient to just set fire to a roll of twenties. Would you whack it if it cost you a dollar a minute?

And remember, latex gloves and a tube sock will set you back like, ten bucks.

I think Savage Love addressed this. But, I can’t find it at the moment.

I’ve seen banner adds for them before, they always show a beautiful woman using it on her man which sorta seems to be missing its target audience completely.

The sex toy I would most like to own is a [Venus 2000](http://www.sybian.com/venusindex.html). The same company makes the Sybian device for women. But, sadly, they are not headquartered in Racine.
