Can I just say that this is yet more proof that Japan is the most depraved and digusting society on Earth.

Except Texas, I mean.

Well, I wouldn't call a USB vibrator useless. I'd say there are real-world applications for that one! At least, it's not as useless as a USB fish tank or a USB EZ-Bake oven. Or a thumb drive in the shape of fried prawn.

Somewhere in time.
What I've never understood is why an eye massager or a, er, personal enjoyment device should be USB powered. Why can't it just be battery powered? Wouldn't it be more convenient that way? And the mug-warmer - it makes more sense to just plug it into the mains.

somebody posted a used USB vibrator on our primary PC parts trading forum. It attracted 11 pages of posts in the 1/2 hour before it was deleted.

:rofl:

paugie, you just made my day! Lucky I wasn't drinking coffee (well tea actually—Twinings Russian Caravan or Earl Grey) at the time.

Why was the post deleted?

:mrgrn: :oops:

Another opportunity to use my extensive knowledge of porn!

Actually vibrators and other sex toys can be easily and safely re-used so long as they are cleaned between uses. Glass toys are easiest to clean; they are simply boiled. Most other toys are cleaned with a bleach solution.

Eric, you can keep all that in mind when you're ready to start taking pictures of naked coeds. :D

I think a mod decided that the guys would just go on and on and on with their fun. Kids here are verrry playful. And it's not like there where you can go out and buy toys like those. So before too much bandwidth was taken up, they decided to delete it.

Besides there seemed to be a debate as to whether it was actually a PC gadget.

If I had to guess, I'd say a glass cylinder that's two inches in diameter and eight inches long is probably pretty had to break in normal use. :)

the caliber you mentioned does not apply to guns, unless I am terribly wrong. More like anti-tank or some such hardware.

oh, and it would be hard to imagine women of greater caliber than that.

is this pushing the envelope? will this thread be locked?

Here? Naw.
Just don't post pictures of women of that... caliber and we're probably fine. :)

My all-time favorite dumb USB toy is a USB Dancing Homer Simpson. I had one, but it broke the last time I moved. I found out the stupid thing is a holy grail for people who collect Simpsons memorabilia.

Anyway, Homer would dance and talk to you based on what you were doing on your PC and I cannot imagine why they stopped making him, because everyone who ever saw it wishes they had one.

I heard that people just use the dishwasher to keep their "toys" clean.

Depends on whether the entire device can handle extended submersion in water. If there are any electronics involved, the control mechanism might not be water tight. I've also had ones that say they're water tight not survive a simple bath, much less a dishwasher.

You misinterpret my emoticons. I am simply a bit shocked by all the details. Must be my age, but women did not all talk about that sort of thing. I suppose toys have been around for years. I certainly never saw any in the dishwasher; that's for sure!

In the late 19th century, doctors actually used steam-powered vibrators to cure Victorian women of "hysteria."

The book "The Road to Wellville" by TC Boyle (and movie of the same name) give mention to this fact.

If that isn't amusing enough, apparently early home versions of those devices were a very popular item for Sears and Roebuck at the turn of the previous century.

The more you know. :)
