It's hilarious that one of the most beloved sex toys came from Hitachi, and was never intended for clitoral stimulation.

What was it intended for?

I think Hitachi make some if the best cranes too

It was just supposed go be a muscle massager originally

That's the official word on it but realistically that could also be because a "muscle massager" was likely more socially acceptable and this likely to sell better. It kinda feels like a "they knew" category to me
