When unemployed, most of us spend half of our time writing cover letters and applying for jobs and the other half watching “Judge Judy” and reading the magazines our neighbors subscribe to before they have a chance to look at them. But most of us aren’t Ani Niow, an engineering student with a minor in sexuality. Ani made what may be the world’s first “steampunk vibrator,” which looks a bit like a mod dumbbell, weighs about a pound, and is “smooth to the touch.” Word is it “sorta works” but gets too hot for one’s nether regions and must be handled with gloves. If Ani can secure a more powerful boiler, she’ll give a second model a whirl. Hey, it beats eating bonbons and refreshing Monster.com every five minutes. [via LaughingSquid.com]

This is probably not the very first steam-powered vibrator. I’ve heard (supposedly - insert grain of salt here) that steam-power stimulators existed even in Victorian times. Back then, a woman was considered sexually defective and likely infertile if she could not orgasm, so crude vibrator and other stimulator devices were used as “therapy.” No wonder we females learned how to fake it… -grin-

Saw this on Gizmodo yesterday, apparently it gets so hot from steam you need welding gloves to not get burned. The engineer in question is currently using compressed air instead.

Can’t say I’d blame her… It’s hard to find oven mitts that match one’s lingerie.
