The BOB (Battery Operated Boyfriend) of today was originally mains powered and was developed and used to treat Hysteria in woman. No bad health outcomes there, just a lot of happy women, that is, no further need for having a man about the house.

G'day Dogbox.I'm 71 mate....sooooooo did you get "satisfaction" out of your vibrating bra?.....Lmao....

Iza, do you remember those magazine adverts for women, that depicted that pointed/banana shape vibrating thingy, that they were holding under their necks' ? ..which looked like it belonged in other places besides under the chin.....how many thought...wait a minute....I can think of another use for that!.......which reminds me....I sold Houses for a while, and I remember inspecting a house with prospective young buyer couple whilst the lady owner was not home....walk in the master bedroom with the couple, and there, pride of place, lying on the bed is a coloured vibrator with all the "goodies".... in my haste to remove, the ""gadget" slipped out of my hands...they were pissing themselves laughing...my face was the colour of that "thing".....I put in second drawer right hand side of bed...where all experienced Real Estate Agents knew these things were generally kept..Lmao..

Upshot,,,they didn't buy the home, however told me they had never had so much fun inspecting homes before......I found it somewhat disconcerting looking the owner in the face after that....

particularly shaking hands with her...some things are best left unsaid..I never mentioned" it" and neither did she......Lmao...Hoo Roo.

Perhaps the old time adverts were used in the training room, of some of the modern salespeople

The motto being

Not quite as harmless/truthful as it sounds, but near enough to be believed, on the day
