    Boyfriend pillow for Japan singles

    Japan's single women are being offered the ultimate sleeping partner - a comfort to cuddle up to, but one which does not snore or make demands.

    The Boyfriend's Arm Pillow, shaped like a man's torso with one sturdy arm, has been on sale since December and has so far been snapped up by 1,000 singles.

    Manufacturer Kameo said the pillow's shape also keeps the body balanced.

    One woman, Junko Suzuki, told AP: "It makes me relaxed... I can hold the arm and feel something warm at my side".

    The pillow is only available in Japan, where it costs about 8,500 Yen ($80), and is available in blue, pink or green.

    Ms Suzuki, who is separated from her husband, says the pillow has other advantages.

    "It keeps holding me all the way through. I think this is great because this does not betray me," she told AP.

    In that pic on the BBC website, I think the pillow is trying to "cop" a feel. Props to you pillow!!!:D

    yeah but that portable cuddler cannot give off the beautiful aroma of a fart under the covers. when they can make it do that, then we're in trouble.

    totally man.... Japanese people are weird. it's like they're completely obsessed with technology. just check out some of the popular video games there. if it has anything to do with technology or electronics they eat it up.

    strange culture.

    Who needs human interaction when you can buy your affection?

    Yeah, I think deep down I'm really a Japanese man trapped in another culture's body.

    Unbelievable! Even Japanese pillows are getting more action than me.




    I don't care if you heard that joke before in another thread. It's one of my better lines on this board.

    Nay, we'll still be needed. But if these suckers can ever learn to buy tampons, then it's really the end.

    OK, so you've got a pillow version of the torso and the arm. It's still missing the other arm... and the legs... and some other important stuff.

    Or maybe those other parts are sold separately. :D

    In those kinds of situations, I'd rather just stick with a body pillow instead, and keep my pathetic-ness to myself.
