Your Tax Dollars at Work: FDA OKs Machine That Gives, Ahem, Hand-Jobs | BNET

Please allow us to correct several misleading and incorrect points in your commentary.

1. This device is NOT FDA approved, it is cleared by FDA, which is given by the FDA to thousands of devices that show to be as safe and equivalent to other devices in the market. It is NOT a rubber stamp by FDA or any other entity.

2. This device is NOT covered by insurance, and the company is NOT seeking coverage by health insurances, therefore ZERO tax dollars will be paid by taxpayers.

3. This is NOT a sex toy. It is only prescribed by a doctor who determines whether his or her patient can benefit from this modality for improving their sexual function, whether it be ED or post surgery rehabilitation, or rigidity problems.

It is NOT for replacing an "unwilling" partner,or "Hand..J..".

Viberect has been designed by urologists to stimulate specific nerves on both sides of the penis (penis has dual nerve supply) AT THE SAME TIME, at specific frequency and amplitude which has been tested in many human and animal studies including in men with spinal cord injury to improve urinary and sexual function. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21324089 (link to NIH pubmed.)

Normal vibrators or sex toys do not have this capacity. It запасу to stimulate both sides of the penis to activate nerve reflexes and sexual centers which are responsible for sexual response. This modality has been tested in men with prostate cancer who develop injury to specific nerves responsible for erection, and has shown improvement in recovery of function. Sex may be funny topic, but Erectile dysfunction is a serious condition facing more than 50 million Americans every day and night4.

4. We are a very proud new American company. Our devices are 100% made in America. This is perhaps the only hand held electronic device made in America anymore. It is a bit odd in this time of economic crisis that You write negative comments about a US company that is bringing jobs to Americans, and plans to export an American product to every corner of the globe.

5. Not all vibrators are sexual toys. Penile and genital vibratory stimulation is a standard medical and urological treatment modality for infertility sperm retrieval in men with spinal cord injury, stress urinary incontinence, and orgasmic dysfunction.

6. Reflexonic company is proud to create American jobs, pay American wages, pay American Taxes to American government and to the state of Pennsylvania, instead of hiding our plants in South East Asia to avoid taxes.

7. We are proud to donate a significant portions of our proceeds to prostate cancer research. I hope at least we cleared a few points.

Criticism is absolutely justified. Dissemination of unchecked and poorly studied emotional commentary is a bit un-newsworthy. Thank you for posting this response.
