In Japan, Women Can Doze With Man Pillow

[Rose Siding]

NAGAREYAMA, Japan -- After a long night at work as a radio DJ, Junko Suzuki likes to snuggle at bedtime -- and she says she's found the perfect partner: a man-shaped pillow.

Linen maker Kameo Corp.'s new "Boyfriend's Arm Pillow" -- which consists of a headless torso and a stuffed arm that curls around the sleeper -- might make some people uneasy.

But not Suzuki, or about 1,000 others in Japan who have bought the pillow, which Kameo says is the first of its kind. The product went on the market last December.

"I like to sleep holding someone's hand," Suzuki, 34. "And this pillow makes me feel relaxed because I can hold the arm and feel something warm at my side."

One-size pillows do not fit all.

6. Inflatable lovers..

I just moved from Tokyo after 11 years in this wonderful city and believe me, blow up dolls, or "Dutch Wife" as they call them there, are quite common.

The man-pillow may seem a bit silly, but what do you expect from a country where you can buy used womens underwear, porn mags and dildos in vending machines?

I love that country.

4. Not sure about the 'headless torso' part

but if you don't care about a man's brain, I suppose it doesn't matter.
