While on the BBC News website, I came across this story from Japan. Introducing, the Boyfriend Pillow by Kameo!
What a lovely woman, though! A shame that there is no flesh-and-blood man for her to snuggle up to. I cannot decide if this is cute, cool or creepy. I’m leaning strongly toward creepy to an extent. I tend to shun technology or other inventions that continue the trend of distancing ourselves from another human’s touch. Personally I prefer sleeping alone rather than with a disembodied arm. But I can definitely understand how this may help women who are fresh out of a break up and they came to rely on a comforting arm.
I wonder if any of the advertisements for the Boyfriend/Husband Pillow will someday include men? After all, there is a market for it!
