the number 1, why dont just call it sex toy..? seriously. ..it just a modify sex toy/penile toy adding with sucking sperms utility and additional function of pleasure technology. ….curious. ..if 1 person use it…then do the machine have cleaning system for reuse for another person. …if not, then all male" baby maker" will share sticking sperms when put it in hahahahah….remind me case in Big China keep reuse the same injection for different people end up entire hospital infect with disease. …sorry for my bad ENG
Full documentary to watch, 2013, will work for free. Highly recommended.
We all know what software the surgeons use it's called surgeon simulator and if you play it you will see how hard being a surgeon really is derp
Just shows you Humans can't wait on Religion.
my favorite unreleased one: induced dream machine!
Start playing medical games to improve become a better doctor? I knew Surgeon Simulator was genuine medical training!
also, when were able to use nano bots to help and heal the body, 10x better then our own blood and maybe create stem cells not obtained from fetuses. immortality baby.
I've heard of scientists CREATING elements not seen in nature. However, these elements only last for fractions of a second.
Where can I buy one of those machines from #1?
number #1 kind of scares me a little bit
so wait, #1, does it like…..LITERALLY jack you off? like in a way that's fun? cuz otherwise it takes all the fun out of sperm donations
Automatic sperm extractor?! Are people too lazy to use their hands?
# 3 I have done this one. Very weird, but also, very cool. Before they tried this I had both the old shove a camera down your throat, then another up my ass. The pill camera was way better.
