The jokes just write themselves, but seriously, ladies, this is one sex toy you will want to avoid. ---

Seriously - Why? With the camera on the end unless there’s a flashlight next to the camera lens, it will show nothing upon penetration as it will be dark & even if used externally, unless there’s a super macro camera, held at just the right angle, the camera won’t show what most people would want to see, it would either be blurry or possibly a good view of underboob or the ceiling. :smack: ---

After all, the sex toy industry has a lot of stiff competition. ---

I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the Pen Test article. I cannot understand any of it. At. All. But those guys sure do. Now if I can figure out how to turn this damn dildo off… Dennis ---

There is nothing interesting to see. Oh hey look, we are wrapped in tissue, gee cant see a thing. Unless were are pumping Betty’s vagina full of CO2 like it’s an abdominal surgery session? Poor Betty. Even then, i can not see too many people that are going to find it all that great. Probably remind a lot of people of their colonoscopy, which i would think would be a big turn OFF? I have no idea what prompted the designer to also make it a wifi hotspot and skype client, that’s kind of funny. Hey look Mom is on, let’s skype Mom. Hi Mo… WTF? MOM! OMFG! 😃 ---

> [@Weisshund](#): > > Even with a light and a laparoscopic type camera (or endoscopic?) what good is it? There is nothing interesting to see. The dildo cam won’t do it because the lens faces the wrong way, but there is a video taken inside pointing back out that shows the entrance of Mr Johnson and his subsequent deposit. It shows up on porn sites. There is plenty of room in that video, although maybe the camera itself enlarges the cavity. You didn’t hear this from me. And no, I’m not going to provide a link. Work for it. Dennis
