They sold the rights to make the magic wand about a decade ago. No longer Hitachi, alas.

Because Hitachi was embarrassed about their innocent personal massager being used for such unwholesome activities. Literal PR move.

Seems like it would be a violent torturous way to make orifices much larger than they're supposed to be 😳

Violent? That would be a choice. Maybe I'll try it sometime. Anyway, it feels amazing.

Well that makes sense, he had to focus on his music career.
