    I almost put this in ~art, but decided against it.

    The “world's first ball-dildo” is less of an erotic toy, more of a dadaist interrogation of the very concept of pleasure.

      That was my initial response to the concept, and the article does a good job of summarizing the exact reaction that I went through internally:

      That was my initial response to the concept, and the article does a good job of summarizing the exact reaction that I went through internally:

      In every instance, the reactions were pretty much the same:

      “What?”

      “How would that even work?”

      "What?"

      “Who asked for this???”

      “What???"

        I shared here for the same reason.

        You are welcome.

          I have sent it to several people as well, thus bringing our interaction full circle.

    Hmm, not sold. Compression feels nice, but this could just be of little value past the novelty factor. I'd have to see it in action to judge. A picture or two is insufficient to demonstrate how it actually works, how the material feels, how rigid it is, etc. Consequently, the large majority of potential customers will probably think, "WTF?", and move on. They might share it, but I doubt they'd buy it.

        I sometimes forget that others do not necessary harbour the same level of perversity.

          I wouldn't call it perversity, there is no shame in exploring ones sexuality and all life has on offer. Especially with modern technological achievements (in this case the computer-aided design and manufacturing of high-quality and safe silicone in whatever form you wish).

          I was a bit disappointed by all the other comments (except your parent comment) in how sheltered and unimaginative people are. Life is too short stay on the beaten path. Live a little, sheeple, stop being so pitiful.

            Nothing to be ashamed of. Vanilla can be a delightful enough flavour.

              It's definitely a great flavour but, not equivalent to being puritan or bland. Personally I would still include the Balldo (and other toys like dildos, buttplugs, cock rings, vibrators) in the realm of vanilla. You can still be exploratory while vanilla. No need to bust out the kinks and fetishes and BDSM.

              EDIT: BTW I'm not trying to argue anything in particular, just clarifying my perspective.

    I follow Eric on twitter because of his Animorphs video essays - he considers this to be his greatest piece of professional writing ever.
