[edit] CSD nomination
This has been nominated for speedy deletion as Spam. That is not a criteria for speedy deletion and there are no other ones that cover this. It has been listed for Prod instead. Capitalistroadster 05:50, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rejig
I'd like to see this article stay, but look more like an encyclopedia than marketing copy. I don't know where we'd start though. Queerwiki 05:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Maybe it could be linked to Butt Plug? I know, it's different, but. There's only a couple of minor links to here. But it appears no one is really anxious to delete it either (I found it with a google search). Reads okay to me, though it does seem a little like marketing-speak. The creator/main editor, Grassroots17, seems to have this as their only real subject.--Justfred 23:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Still reads like an ad?
I didn't see much at all reading like an ad. It all seems factual and describing its design, and being satisfied at that? Maybe it's time to remove that template? -- — Northgrove 16:32, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Effects?
This is a pretty thin article - there's absolutely no description of what the product actually does to a man, what feelings it can give etc.
[edit] Fixing the article
The article should stay but be generalized. There are other brands of this thing, one made in England though I don't remember the name. The street name for this is a "male g-spot stimulator". Aneros says it's technically a "prostate-perineum stimulator". Sex shops categorize it under butt plug but it has some unique features. I think of it as a "butt plug with a tail". The butt plug article says, "Some butt plugs are specifically designed for men and stimulate the prostate." This could be expanded to a section with a picture of the device and a description of its unique features, which would replace this article. Redirects would be important because not everybody would think to search under "butt plug" for this -- some people think of it as a kind of dildo or something unknown.
As for what it does and the feelings it produces, the Aneros website gives a very detailed description; I don't know of any other reference. You contract your sphincter muscles and it moves the plug; the motion gets transmitted to the tail because it's a single piece of plastic; and the tail presses against the perineum, which eventually triggers an orgasmic feeling. The "hours of waves of the best orgasm you've ever had" on the Aneros site is marketing hyperbole: some men may experience this, others say it gives them a mildly better orgasm and harder, longer erections but nothing earthshaking. After a time the feeling may no longer seem "better" but just "different". There may be others who get no substantial benefit from it. The device also has a "training" characteristic: if you pay attention to how the body reacts with the device, you may be able to approximate the same reactions without it.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Theenemagrabible.jpg
Image:Theenemagrabible.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
