Steve Higgins is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, Steve is a real graduate student at a real school.

It was only a matter of time until someone created a sex toy for dogs.
From the description:
A dog is an animal with an enormous sexual appetite which can't be controlled. Many methods consist in artificial ways to stop dogs inborn caractere. These methods like castration or meds are going against the nature laws.
So... is this a joke?

"...is an animal with an enormous sexual appetite which can't be controlled"
isn't that why the species that are currently plodding around are *still* plodding around? without a sexual appetite driving our species to procreate for hundreds of thousands of years, we all (unfortunately) wouldn't be here. controlling sex drive may be adaptive to fit into the social norms established by human society, but i'm not sure that we can apply the same rationale to dogs. it doesn't seem adaptive for them to control their mating behaviors at all.
but if someone wants to make a buck helping dogs project their evolutionary survival skill set onto inanimate objects, let them be my guest. just don't call it less artificial.

No, it's not a joke.
And neither is this.

How is the dog attracted to this? Does it emit doggie pheromones?
