Consider it considered. ;)

I like to take my cat to bed with me, he either stays on or goes and jumps off. It is very relaxing to have him with in arms reach to pet. I also like listening to him clean himself, it's strangely relaxing.

My first cat had a spot at the end of my bed where we could both sleep undisturbed, and I loved to listen to her purr and fall asleep. The second cat's preference was to sleep in my face, if not actually on it, and could be very irritating at 5 in the morning when she wanted to be let out.

pretty much you'll get the same result, once my cat sliced my foot wide open - I would imagine a cactus would do the same thing.

But if you put peanut butter on your junk, a cactus will just sit there.

They're pretty ideal for masochists though.

And a goldfish gives you a good time?

At least it might give me some light foreplay.

Depending on the preferences of the person subjected. Getting a cactus in the genitals must be a right turn on. :)

But then it's just masturbating with a cactus. Where's the love and affection?
