Well, I don't like to brag...
Hey, I am a professional...or I was...
Oh, and I'm cuddly too! ;-)

On a more serious note, this is actually pretty old hat. Scientists
have seen this reaction from stimulation of nerves and certain areas of
the brain for many years. I guess they have finally just gotten the
idea that sex is big money.

And before anyone goes out and spends 22k on this, try this $139
machine. Numerous people swear by it...and techtv even tested it for an
episode of TechLive...and it supposedly worked as billed.
