Boyfriend pillow for Japan singles

[Thickasabrick]

Japan's single women are being offered the ultimate sleeping partner - a comfort to cuddle up to, but one which does not snore or make demands.

The Boyfriend's Arm Pillow, shaped like a man's torso with one sturdy arm, has been on sale since December and has so far been snapped up by 1,000 singles.

Manufacturer Kameo said the pillow's shape also keeps the body balanced.

One woman, Junko Suzuki, told AP: "It makes me relaxed... I can hold the arm and feel something warm at my side".

The pillow is only available in Japan, where it costs about 8,500 Yen (£40, $80), and is available in blue, pink or green.

Ms Suzuki, who is separated from her husband, says the pillow has other advantages.

"It keeps holding me all the way through. I think this is great because this does not betray me," she told AP.

I bet this thing goes global.

6. That feature among many is available,

My family has friends in Japan and a recurring gag between the families is to out weird the other with something in our respective country - on my last trip to Japan they took me to a sex shop where they locked down the title for at least the next generation. I have family in the porn industry and that place made me blush.

I don't think I could find anything in this land to top the $3000 cunnilingus machine,
