A post in the Author's Hangout made me think of this as a "title in search of a story" if I may be so bold as to steal a concept from Hallowed Eve. What type of story would you write to follow this titillating title?.......Carney

Well, it's a curiosity/forbidden title, so it could be almost anything.
It sounds to me like a concept that was written here before (hypnotizing technology) that could have a "Tales From The Crypt" type twist.

Actually this big black box is a real product, boasting everything from bigger breasts from mind power to hypnotizing people in other countries from your own living room.

They say the software for this product has a free trial and is at a low cost, but it isn't as effective if you don't have the product.
Then they try to sell you the other half of the manual that isn't complete when you buy the software.
Then you have to buy a book that tells you how to work the machine.

If that's not enough, there are different types of EMF hypnotizing machines in that line, one more powerful than the next, so the user wants the most powerful (and most expensive) one.

The thing that bothers me (other than its bogus and immoral nature) is that the pitch claims you can be a better lover and even make both genders have sex with you, and then it claims you can make your children do their homework when they want to play.
Even if that was possible, that also means you can make your children have sex with you.
Who doesn't find that disgusting and upsetting?

I will not link the site, ad, or article about this machine, as I think if it wasn't bogus, it's certainly immoral (EMF/EMR is also dangerous to play with).
