It's possible I had set my faith in the sanity of a panicky pregnant parent-to-be convinced that they're going to singlehandedly screw up their kid for the rest of its life by doing (or failing to do) something before it's even hit the third trimester a smidge too high, yeah. The more I read about development and trade-offs organisms make, the more startled I am in how absurdly flexible and simultaneously sensitive and also tough babies are--and the more enraged I am at the whole "parenting: you're doing it hideously wrong" industry. I mean, I get that inflaming that particular crazy is hella profitable, but--ashflghl.

I kind of suspect it's not intended to be a sex toy given the genesis of the damn thing, which involved testing to see if fetuses could even hear music in the first place and subsequently won the authors an IgNobel. This does not mean that the basic principle hasn't already occurred to sex toy manufacturers, of course...

Heh.
