The Buzz

David on 10.01.2011

Who would've ever thought that something so simple (yet so essential) as a marital aid had such an amazing history! The wife & I caught the documentary on SBS some months back and have been looking to pick it up ever since. It was a warm, spirited and funny insight into a device that has truly revolutionised the sex lives of many. Positive buzz aside, I think you'll find that the doco is also pretty inspiring if you know what I mean ;)
