Great. Now all the tractors are going to get all the dates.

Damn those tractors and all their hot international sex!

What does it say about people when you have to tell them not to have sex with a piece of plastic? You might as well have a sign on vacuum cleaners 'do not have sex with this vacuum cleaner'.

It would never have crossed my mind but then again this might simply mean that I lack imagination.

In any event there are always the ethical considerations. In what sense could we define a vacuum cleaner as a consenting adult?

I thought we were talking about the think in his link.

Not me, VT. I only talk to people, not links.

In what sense is the thing in the link a consenting adult then?

In no sense that I can think of, VT, but I'm willing to concede that there are plenty of sick puppies around who might elect to take a different view and then who am I to argue? Whatever floats your boat, as they say.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Again, what is wrong with you people. What's the fucking difference between a woman using a vibrator or dildo, and a man using another contraption? None. It's all masturbation ie. self-pleasuring by themselves.

Stop anthropomorphizing machines.

It's their vacuum cleaner, to do with as they will, no matter how retarded.
