Can you find a slightly different picture, say a colour version of the device being used?

My first reaction on seeing the picture was that it looks like a model rocket. If you hadn't mentioned that it was problematic, it would never have occurred to me. Yes, specialized probes have been built and used for OB/GY research -- I remember looking in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy once out of curiosity, when I noticed a set of volumes in a university library -- but usually a magnetometer is just a magnetometer.

Perhaps in some respects I do have the mind of a 12-year-old.

Hee hee hee.

On a related note, a certain Phys. Ed. teacher was apparently offended at another Phys. Ed. teacher calling the woodies "dildos." I was like, "really?" Because that's the sort of terminology slip I'm likely to make.

Why is it bad to call a woody a dildo? Because that implies that the woody has encountered use.

I'd be offended too if someone called my anal plug a dildo.
