Good Housekeeping readers play hunt the G-spot In a final death blow for the values which once made Blighty great - long shadows on cricket grounds, warm beer, invincible green suburbs, dog lovers, triumphant foreign wars, etc, etc - Good Housekeeping has published a reader guide to the top five vibrators. For its October issue, the "housewives' bible" (as the Telegraph …
I can confirm that Fun Factory do indeed make very good products... just don't buy them from Ann Summers, where they charge 3x the cost on the fun factory website, funfactory.de IIRC.
They're well built as well as effective. Importantly, the batteries also last a long time (so they have green credentials too)!
I worked in France with a French woman of about 30 years of age a few years ago. Now, in fairness, she had lived most of her life in a very rural, rather sheltered village in the middle of nowhere and wasn't exactly worldly-wise.
But when we informed her that most British girls (meaning, about 16-25 years old) owned a vibrator she collapsed in a fit of giggles and remained in that state for some hours...
Who said the British were sexually repressed (or that the French were otherwise!)?
Paris. Guess why.

Maybe she was just amused that British girls feel the need to have aids in the first place, whereas the French just get on down and Le Shag :D
Although I hope that most girls clean theirs after use unlike one of my female friends. (Long story short......"Ooh a candle.....EEWWWWWW" Nuff said really)

You seem to know quite a lot about these things, Ian - would you like to be our sex toy correspondent? (NB There is no opening for a sex toy correspondent. Yes I said 'opening'. Isn't that funny.)
The IT angle, further to your enquiry, has to be just right or the whole experience is entirely disappointing.
When I was a little Dutch boy, my parents let me watch television unsupervised in the weekend mornings. What my parents did in those hours I dread to think about, but I was watching the only thing that was on at the early hours of saturdays and sundays. I was watching 'Fun Factory', that's right! Fun Factory!
My childhood memory of a small boy slowly grasping the English he's hearing on the telly is now ruined. From this day onward I shall not only remember Fun Factory as that innocent British television show of yore but also as a top of the line manufacturer of high quality massage sticks -- as I recall they where called in those days.
May I be the first to welcome you to the BOOTNOTES section. That is the section of El Reg which needs no excuse whatsoever to publish stories of a totally non-it (i.e. sexual) nature.
However, for your information, Vibrators are battery powered and El Reg has a great interest in the development of current and future battery technology for use in "leccy Tech"
There's your IT angle :-)
I think the Reg has recognised ot has overlooked developments in this area of technological gadgetry. We get phones, ipodalikes yada yada, but when i get in after a difficult day at the network interface the last thing I want is to be pestered for sex. I can plug the missis into the winner fo this month's What vibrator performance test. Seems essential really
Clearly a biased report.
The Hitachi Magic Wand is noisy, requires mains electricity and comes with stern warnings about it overheating if it runs for more than half an hour. It is consistently rated "better than sex" by women who are asked, yet was not included in the models used in this so-called poll.
Mrs Stevie assures me she only uses hers for the articles on gardening.
You've got to be kidding. When I were younger the only thing on my mind was the dream of being "pestered for sex". Then when I got married it was the dream of being "pestered for sex".
After having multiple sprog it was the dream of being "pestered for sex". Now that I'm old and forgotten what sex was all about, it's still the dream of being "pestered for sex".
I keep hoping.
I just had this vision of Apple making a device called an iProd. The advanced version would be an iProd Touchless with blue tooth and handsfree kit. Randomly exploding batteries would be a special feature.
The icon? Well, if all the girls had an iProd, all the guys would need one of these.
