I would rather have a good conversationalist than a pillow, stuffed or snoring.

Re: Muser
Well now you are a rascal, aren't you....I've suspected that for some time ...and here I've gone and gotten myself stuck between a rock and a hard place. Well now, being a true G.R.I.T. (girl raised in the south) I can't just come right out with the answer...just blurt it out like some...hussie-woman, so I'll just put it this way: you know that Atlanta, GA is the home of Coca-Cola, right? And you know that Coca-Cola is the "Real Thing", right? Well, the answer to your question then is, Why would any woman in her right mind want a Pepsi Cola?

would you have been able to remain faithful to the arm for years?

Re: I think it's a good idea. The arm wont snore,fart or hog the blankets.
proc, I'm sure they will soon have a 'wandering hand' at least...

Re: Naut a cuddle arm that doesn't snore isn't heavy and hot but no. Wait.
Kabu, leave it to the Japanese to sooner or later attach an electronic 'wandering hand' to the arm...

I think it's a good idea. The arm wont snore,fart or hog the blankets.
But can it make you laugh last thing at night.  And what about someone to chat to when its hard to sleep?  The impossibilities are endless....In South Africa ,women buy a "man" made of fabric to sit in the seat next to them especially women travelling alone.  Apparently,it makes them less vulnerable to hijack or attack.  Long live synthetic partners

Not for me. No wandering hand to slap.

I hate to tell ya but I saw that being sold here a couple of years ago, the Japanese copied the idea. It won't sell in Canada though, 'cuz the arm's not bilingual

It must be true.
If we stand in line for everything, fight rush hour traffic, find mobs everywhere, we get desperate for quiet solitude. We have less patience with others. It translates down to the couples level -- we don't want to share a bed or a bathroom. I don't know what women want, and I are one. Sometimes when I'm alone too much I'd give "anything" to have a loving companion. Then I spend a couple hours with and eligible somebody and feel myself shifting away, sorting through my mental files for an excuse to be alone again. Guess what I need is one of those little green men with one arm and no dispute about the toilet seat.
