Iggy here:

Well, as a fellow armchair "skull jockey" (being a former psych major,
in fact, before I had to switch to IT for on-line schooling) I actually
focused on sexuality and human relations, since I grew up in an area
where it was an important social factor... not to mention just plain
fascinating. (Especially when you include studies of some of the
"alternative lifestyles" that are more prevalent in the area where I
lived in California... about an hour south on the coast from San
Francisco.) 

There's a concept that's based on the "too much of a good thing" saying,
which states that an excess of pleasure can be as much of a torture
(albeit a more subtle one) as the inflicting of pain.  As the constant
motion of the soft fur on sensitive parts of the body can be very
pleasurable at first, it can quickly cause some... interesting...
complications.  (There was an interesting race I heard about from an old
friend of mine where some guys ran a race with rabbit fur in their
jockey shorts... the winner was the one with the most endurance, not the
fastest.)  Imagine having to run a full marathon under the more severe
conditions of wearing a full body suit made of mink or rabbit fur with
the fur itself on the inside.

As for testing it, I haven't had the opportunity to put the full theory
into operation, but I do happen to have a rabbit fur massage mitten.
(You use it when massaging someone as a pleasurable and relaxing
sensation.)  Considering some of the reactions I can get from my wife
while using my mitten to help her relax after a rough day at work, it's
not too difficult to extrapolate a grander effect from there.

Does that answer the questions?
