How about one of those instant gratification machines the US Army's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has ingeniously developed, to cater to the necessities of war. And of course, to lower incidences of Rape in the occupied territories.

A great batch of entries, that. It was tough trying to find a winner (really!) Some respondents sneakily tried to identify the photo by looking at the file name. Hah! Just because the photo was in a folder called "Westpoint, NY 1" and I forgot to rename it and didn't feel like uploading it again on a 4kb/s dialup connection doesn't mean that it was taken in Westpoint. Nice try, buds.

The picture was, of course, taken in the Museum of Sex in New York and is of the torso, residing in their permanent collection, of a RealDoll made by Abyss Creations LLC. This is the very same museum that earlier this year was host to the exhibition "SEX AMONG THE LOTUS - 2500 Years of Chinese Erotic Obsession". As such, gh was absolutely correct in his (or more probably, her - for reasons that will be made clear when I recount my visit to the Museum) visit there.

However, the winning entry was submitted by Ms "ihaveafeelingiwillwin! (:" jan:

"Place - Stress Balls Factory (design department).

Caption - The (awful) truth behind the invention of stress balls."

For the record, I have seen before, in a Melbourne shop called "Urban Attitude" (IIRC), a stress-relief aid in the shape of a breast. Unfortunately, it was much harder than the model pictured above, and certainly firmer than the real thing. Perhaps that is a design decision undertaken to aid in stress relief.

Unfortunately, due to my brother-in-law's losing of something I'd gotten for someone, the item which I'd allocated for this competition will have to be substituted instead (sorry). Hopefully something will turn up (one way or the other).
