Groove Thing is a musical sex toy that creates

16 Aug

A new sex toy has been compared to the feeling of being in a club and putting your hand on a sound system – that deep, carnal pounding that hits your chest as your hand touches the metal grate, the sound reverberating across your outstretched limb, through the skin, and into you.
