Dangerous Ideas

Who knew? My friend Anne wrote an article on Babeland’s blog about how you can use a vibrator to help polinate plants. Apparently, the vibrations are a perfect aid for freeing up pollen and moving it between flowers. Anne also writes about nursing moms can use vibrators to help with clogged ducts and how a children’s hospital used little vibrators to help kids sleep at night (the forerunner to the crib vibrators that baby stores sell now).

For those who don’t know, Babeland is a well-known feminist owned sex toy store that’s best known where they have retail stores (Seattle, New York City, and Los Angeles), but also have Web and mail order operations in Oakland. They’ve been a computer consulting client for a few years.
