Vibrator that makes you smarter

Nope. Like any toy I'd like to try it, but most things advertised with such gimmicks generally don't do as they say they will. Generally when things of the sort do work, they do so via placebo effect.

It doesss make you smarter to try and do tasks with a different hand than you're used to ( brush your teeth with the hand you don't normally brush your teeth with, ect...) but the vibe itself prolly wont do anything different for your head.

I actually already use vibrators with my left hand even though I'm right handed. I'm definitely not stupid, but I wouldn't say I'm gaining the intellect of a brain surgeon from the hand I use to hold vibrators with. I'm also already rather right brained, so I doubt I'd be stimulating it any more than I would be using vibrators left/right handed.

As for left handed people having better pleasures- dunno, but I'd imagine there's no real benefit to being left-handed. A hand is a hand, if you train it to do stuff then it'll do what you tell it to. Which one you use probably doesn't make you get anything extra out of sex. less

"As the first ever vibrator designed to make right-handed people smarter and more satisfied at the same time –DEXTRÜS will be available in four spontaneous colors from late April 2014 onwards at the market entry price of $299."

That's from the end of the article announcing this product on Lelo's site.

As for what I think about this...I know of no evidence that says people experience pleasure differently based on handedness causing them to feel or process pleasure in a different side of their brain! Taking the results of a self-reported study and not backing them up fully with empirical evidence makes their assumptions premature, reckless and based on a flimsy foundation of pseudoscience. I think it's a lot less expensive to just masturbate using your left hand, and see what happens, don't you think? Come on people, this is a joke! April Fools!

Thanks for posting this, Black Orchid, otherwise I would have missed it!

The supposed "Le Gauche Institute, Paris" that verified their results does not exist and isn't it funny that gauche means left in French? And Sinister College, Oxford doesn't exist either. And the study they linked to has to do with memory recall, not pleasure. Yeah, this is a gag. And just to really be obvious, they posted these "reviews":

"Praise for DEXTRÜS
Ian Kerner, Sex and Relationship Expert and author of NYTimes Bestseller She Comes First: The Thinking Man’s Guide to Pleasuring a Woman:
“My right-handed clients have said it for years; they feel left out. And that’s not right. Not right at all. When it comes to spontaneity and pleasure, no one should be left behind, so I’m very pleased that LELO has done the right thing by launching an item like DEXTRÜS.”
Gary Adroit, President, Coalition for Right-Appendaged People:
“With DEXTRÜS, LELO is standing up for rights’ rights to right wrongs subjected to the right-handed peoples of the world, to which I say; right on, LELO!”
Olef Thander, LELO’s Head of Right-Handed Research:
“On the one hand, we were looking at a massive segment of the population who just couldn’t enjoy our products as much as they should, and on the other hand, we wanted to design a product that right-handers would feel comfortable using in public. While I can count on one hand how many right-handed people I know – only a handful, really – I’ve got to say, it feels pretty good to lend them a hand.” less

You did a lot more reading up on this than I did. I didn't read any of this stuff, I just watched the You Tube video. The "Gasm" one I knew was a joke, but this one got me.

Thanks for posting, Wicked Wahine, I guess this joke was on us. less

Oh, weird april fools joke. Kinda sad- I think "the gasm" thing is hilarious (the little ikea drawings were wonderfully silly x3) but the dextrus doesn't seem nearly as funny imo. Plus all the things like the video and such weren't even posted april 1st, the video is like a few days before and in march. less
