Oh dear! First the plastic "TOY" then the robotic mower now the fake cuddle pillow.

Us men will soon be out of a job!!!!!!

Sad or what.

Is it more or does:

"Ms Suzuki, who is separated from her husband, says the pillow has other advantages.

"It keeps holding me all the way through.""

sound dodgy as hell?!

Maybe the fingers are battery powered!

If you said the arm was european then they would sell a lot more!

European men in Japan are treated by women with typical subserviance and submissiveness. Ask anyone who's been! They make a 'bee line' for you... not me, just you!

They forgot to mention that it vibrates too.

I have been to Japan 4 times. I cant say that Japanese women are any different, and I didnt have to fight em off - but perhaps thats just me

First time I went in 1987, I was invited out for the evening by the receptionist at the company I was visiting. We went to her sisters sushi bar. I went out with her on the 3rd nigth of the trip, as I had been invited out the two previous evenings by other Japanese engineers.

In the daytime, the japs are very straight and conformal. In the evening, they let their hair down and are nice people. Even got invited to the chief engineers house for a japanese barbecue with his family. I still remember the horrendously large beetle his young son held up to my face to impress me with and the great care I had to take to change slippers before I used the toilet, and NOT to wear them back into the living room. This is seen to the japanese as akin to arriving in the dining room with your todger still hanging out. Pays to read up about these things.

In Thailand a couple months back, I was told if you pat a Thai child on the head its seen as an extreme form of abuse.....

In 1978 i spend some 5 weeks in Thailand.Touching a Thai's head is indeed one of the most avoidable things to do,on the other hand...the women,well some of them...,didn't seem to mind
