  1. I doubt this is a real product… all they did was go buy one of those grabber type things from Walmart, and make a video.

  2. For people considering this as a viable option… i recommend watching Pushing Daisies. The pie-maker’s inventiveness in finding ways around negiah is brilliant. There was a real gemarah kup on that writing staff. I guarantee it.

  3. If you can use a shomer stick, then is it okay to use a vibrator too? Can you put a vibrator at the end?

    What if the girl stands behind a Mechitza?

  4. If the girl and boy are in a car, and there is no one around, can they close their eyes, undress and use the stick?

  5. If the girl and boy are in a car, and there is no one around, can they close their eyes, undress and use the stick?

  6. Can any (modern) Hebrew speakers help me out with this one? Do native speakers (obviously religious ones) say things like?:

    Ani shomer (Negi’a)

    For some reason it seems like one of those bad grammar Hebrew terms that native English speaking Jews use (ex: TZni’ut as an adjective).

  7. It reminds me of coming home one night to find my very religious younger sister lying on the couch with her fiancé. She had her head on a pillow and he had his arms on a pillow on her chest. I thought it was so sweet and innocent. I am pleased I never had to endure that level of sexual frustration.

  8. Yochanan, just saying you’re Shomer in hebrew will get the response “Shomer what?”

    You’ve gotta say “ani shomer negiah”
    vs. shomer shabbat, shomer kashrut, shomer al zchuyot hachasah begush katif, vechulei.

  9. Frum N’Flipping:

    As a follow-up, what syllable is accented on SHomer?

    From what I remember, on the first syllable, it would be a noun and translate as “gaurdian”. On the second it would be a verb and translate as “keep/protect/gaurd”.

  10. Grammar correction [to all of you who continue this horrid grammatical error]:

    shomer negi’ah is a noun or adjectival noun phrase.

    shemirath negi’ah is the gerund.

    Get it right please.

    This kind of crap always happens to us when we’re galuth.

  11. I *just* thought to check these comments now.
    As the creator of this video, I can vouch that the product did not cost me more than $1.25. CANADIAN. It’s from the dollar store.
    But the first thing I thought was: “I *must* market this. I also picked up a couple for my two friends that are so paranoid with shomer negiah that they inspired this video.
