MEET THE THOMAS EDISON OF EROTICA

MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. (Wireless Flash) -- A Florida man is getting a reputation as the "Thomas Edison of Sex Toys." He's 51-year-old Steve Ritchie and his latest invention is described as the world's first "dishwasher safe" dildo. The erotic toy is made out of "hand-blown" Pyrex glass and comes in several sizes that can cost up to $379. It may sound fragile, but Ritchie claims the glass is so hard it be used as a hammer. His other inventions include a "painless whip" called the "Whiplite" and the "Aqua Vulva," a self-pleasure device made out of water- and air-filled mattress tubes.
