It's a whole new way to plug-n-play!

"The OhMiBod vibrator is a whole new way to enjoy your iPod® or any other music player. Everyone loves music. Everyone loves sex. OhMiBod combines music and pleasure to create the ultimate acsexsory™ to your iPod." Keep in mind that if you try to use it with Damien Rice or Bread, your girlfriend will leave you.

I still say the viberider is cooler, maybe when the bluetooth version comes out.

This idea has been done a couple times now, but I have to say, it's a nice design. I may have to get one, um...for aesthetic reasons.

I like the idea of hooking it up to an electric guitar...or, better yet, a keytar! Or a synthesizer. Can't you just picture Bernie Worrell "playing" his lady? I can. Garth Hudson, less so.

I think my girlfriend would leave me if she discovered I had an IPod with Damien Rice or Bread on it at all, never mind the vibrator. That's one of the reasons I love her so much. Also: "OhMiBod combines music and pleasure to create the ultimate acsexsory™ to your iPod." This is silly. "Sexcessory" clearly works better than "acsexsory," which is awkward and hard to say.

"Keep in mind that if you try to use it with Damien Rice or Bread, your girlfriend will leave you." If you're a guy who uses one of these, perhaps the operative word here isn't "girlfriend".

OMB users can instantly (and anonymously) become part of a fun, hip community called CLUB VIBE (ohmibod.com/clubvibe), where other OMB aficionados write about their experience, trade tips, share their favorite playlists, and more. Trade tips? This doesn't exactly seem like something that would have "a thousand different uses".

"CLUB VIBE"? how many people are yearning for the chance to join an online community to talk about one specific brand of vibrator? and what are the flame wars like over there?

Mid-period Ministry should be just about right for this. "TV2" or "Hero" springs to mind, for instance. Am I weird in that I've never had a girlfriend who's cared much about or been stimulated much by the vibrating action of sex toys, but have all preferred normal, non-vibrating toys combined with vigorous movement?

I may just be a cheap bastard, but isn't $69.00 kind of pricey for a vibrator that needs an external battery pack? That design problem was solved in like, the fifties.

The studied results of classical conditioning suggest that this is just the type of thing that leads to unwanted orgasms in inconvenient situations. You'll want to only enjoy the OhMiBod while listening to obscure music that will never be randomly played on the radio while driving, on the loudpeaker while shopping at Gymboree, or whenever you're eating dinner with your parents. Just a reminder.

WARNING: COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR SLAYER FANS I love having sex to Slayer Finally, a use for that Merzbow CD I never listen to Hell, yeah, bring it on. music is all about sex, this is a great idea, but my boyfriend does a pretty good job all by himself. sexcessories can feel a little... awkward or "oh, let me fiddle with this other thing..." fuck you, fiddle with me, please.

Pussy Blue? I wonder it works if you plug it into the tv during a porn movie, would it vibrate in time with the star's moans? It should come with some sampler music.

I've wondered about hooking one of these up to a microphone. Having some kind of control over the vibrations you're getting seems like it would be interesting. Or at least more interesting than just lying there listening to the radio through your cooter. [full disclosure: author does not, in fact, have a cooter]

Toys In Babeland has a similar unit. Weird vibrator + color organ kit + ipod = MakeMagazine ipod vibrator mod feature. With a multichannel organ you could control several vibrators or increase the complexity of modulation of a single unit. With a mic you could control the unit like a clapper.

What I want to know, is has anyone designed a USB-powered/controlled vibator for use during net-sex? There must be a market for interactive sextoys for that purpose. Some sort of customised client with vibrator controls built in. It's got to be with money!

Wow, hooks, I've actually never read a female testimonial of the trancevibrator before. If I could get a girl to.. err.. participate... while I played, I think I'd probably never stop.
