I am a lonely man. I mostly blame the attention-deprived years of my childhood, but I also blame my failed marriage to that cold-hearted wench who took half of what I own when we got divorced. Over the years I've made up for my loneliness with promiscuity and alcohol-fueled love affairs, but sometimes that's not enough.

If this sounds familiar to you - then you need the Boyfriend Pillow.

Unlike a normal pillow, the Boyfriend Pillow has a built-in arm that you can wrap around your body, simulating the sensitive touch of a lover's embrace. Made of ultra-comfy memory foam, the Boyfriend Pillow is shaped like a man's torso and can be positioned in a number of different ways (trust me).

Why the Boyfriend Pillow is wearing a button-down dress shirt to bed is beyond me, but I can't complain. With a little imagination, and a splash of perfume, we lonely men can close our eyes and pretend that the pillow is actually a woman wearing one of our favorite dress shirts.

With a little more imagination, and a lot more perfume, you can also pretend the pillow is actually the girl featured in the product photo. But that's up to you.

So, when my pick-up lines prove unsuccessful at the bar, it's nice to know that I'll always have someone to snuggle up with when I get home. It won't complain about being unsatisfied, or question why her memory of the last six hours is so foggy, and it doesn't threaten to call the cops if I don't give her cab fare for the ride home.

The Boyfriend Pillow is, quite simply, perfect.

I LOVE this pillow!! Like most spinsters, I always spent a lot of time wishing for a man and arranging the pillows on my bed in a long pile, the better to imagine that some hottie would be willing to spend the night beside me. All the single ladies know that if you close your eyes and concentrate, the smell of scented candles and litterboxes transforms itself into a musky, manly cologne!

With the boyfriend arm pillow (I named mine Captain Jack, in honor of Johnny Depp's sexiest role), I barely have to concentrate. I spritz a little bit of axe body spray on the "torso" and wrap that arm around me for a long, blissful night of rest that previously would have been available only to my married friends.

I don't know why nobody thought of the arm attachment before! I use the strong, brawny hand to open jars and kill bugs--I'm no longer scared of spiders when I have my "man" by my side! When I watch TV at night I prop the remote in the pillow's fingers because I know how much guys like to control the TV. This might sound crazy, but I swear Captain Jack once interrupted a Dharma & Greg marathon to change the channel to football!!

Captain Jack did cause something of an uproar in my family when I signed him up as my plus one to my cousin Kimmy's wedding, but that blew over after a few months. People are so uptight...obvs I was mostly joking. It's not like I'd be able to pick up a groomsman if I'd had a pillow attached to me all night, although I did feel bad that he had to miss out on the cake--chocolate with vanilla frosting is Captain Jack's favorite.

I am currently using "Date Like a Man" and "Think Like a Guy" and fully expect to snare a boyfriend soon. Even if I don't, I've asked my niece to make sure I'm buried with Captain Jack. No way am I going to the Other Side by myself!

Look, sometimes a married gal needs a companion, right? Sunday afternoons, Monday nights can get lonely. Sure this is a "Boyfriend Pillow" but it is also so much, much more!

The blue microfiber dress shirt is perfect for taking with you to the movies. The "Boyfriend Pillow" never falls asleep and starts to snore like you-know-who. And guess whose hand is never in your popcorn tub? Prefer your popcorn without butter? Well, the "Boyfriend Pillow" is not going to argue or pout!

Change the blue shirt to a white one, and put a tuxedo jacket over it and voila, you have a perfect companion to the Ballet Benefit!

Feel sad and need a good cry? Well, the "Boyfriend Pillow" never complains if you get mascara on his collar. Just take the shirt off and wash it. As simple as that.

Change "Boyfriend Pillow" to a sport shirt and sweater and you've got someone to go to the museum with Sunday afternoon.

Want to go out for a drive? Hang the "Boyfriend Pillow" around your neck and "he" doesn't complain that you are driving too fast/too slow/watchout!watchout!, reposition the mirrors, or try to change the radio from NPR to some ball game.

Finally, the "Boyfriend Pillow" loves to do the things you like to do! It even loves to watch Project Runway/Top Chef Desserts/Mad Men/American Idol/Dancing With The Stars!

And it never ever touches the remote control!

I like to snuggle with this pillow every night and pretend that it's Jareth the Goblin King from Jim Henson's Labyrinth. I hope he takes me away some day. Forever alone.

I love this body pillow. I bought it for my sister for her birthday, she passed it onto me on my birthday. Next year I'm suppose to pass it on down the line, but don't want to give it away. I love to cuddle with it, you just snuggle into it and you feel like you're lying with someone..sad it's it? All my friend love it too. I hope they bring it back. I will buy in bulk.

My boyfriend ordered this for me as a joke, but it actually is way more comfortable than I expected. It doesn't smell like him and it looks a little odd propped on my bed, but it is decent addition to my collection of pillows.

This is an update to my previous review...Due to a warehouse error, I received a discontinued older model of this product. I contacted the company and explained my displeasure at how the product I received did not look like the pictures. Carrie N., in customer service, said my description didn't sound right and she'd follow up on my complaint. The remarkable thing is AB Marketers and Carrie did exactly what they said they would. They followed up and found out there was an error at the warehouse. They offered me an apology and sent the correct product out. My opinion of AB Marketers is they are a company that take great pride in their customers satisfaction with their products. I would absolutely purchase this product, or any product, and I would purchase it from AB Marketers. I like buying from a company that stands behind its products and makes things right.

An excerpt from my apology letter: "The product you received is drastically different from the actual product, which, I was informed by the CEO, is because it appears you had received the older version of the Boyfriend Body Pillow. We are not sure how this happened, but we are truly sorry for this extreme error." Wow, What a company!

The current model boyfriend pillow is fantastic. It firmly supports my head and neck. The pictures with the model are accurate. I'm 5'2" and find it fits me like it's pictured on the site. It's about the length of a standard pillow, but a little skinnier. This makes it easier for you to hug while sleeping.

The sheep out in the pasture are sleeping much more comfortably ever since I bought this relationship aid. To those silly folks who think this wonderful product is just a "boyfriend pillow", they don't know how the gals love to wear their man's dress shirts around the house -- this little number looks just like my last girlfriend as she strutted half dressed in a men's oxford shirt. In fact, the illusion of being half dressed is emphasized by the half torso design of this lonely man wonder. If you want to expand your relationship horizons, you can easily attach any number of stuffed heads from a Miss Piggy or other favorite stuffed animal. An unexpected benefit of the pillow having only one arm is that you never have to worry about a bottom arm falling asleep.

Do you ever wonder what would be the best gift for a friend going through relationship struggles? She needs someone to hold her, to cuddle her, and to spoon with her. She needs that protective arm over her shoulder. A boyfriend pillow can offer that stability for a woman when real men aren't doing the trick. It has been said that physical touch can be therapeutic and heal emotional hardship. Let the boyfriend pillow be your therapy when your husband is travelling for weeks at a time, when you are too sick to hug and kiss loved ones, or when you are gorging yourself on ice cream and other comfort foods after a break up.

True--35 dollars might be a little pricey for a pillow. But this is more than a pillow; it is therapy. Is 35 dollars too expensive for therapy? Of course not. This boyfriend pillow will provide a thousand times the entertainment and the comfort than any other pillow. I bought this boyfriend pillow for my friend's birthday, and it has resulted in so much laughter and excitement. Her sisters--and even her married mother--fight her for a chance to sleep with the pillow each night. Clearly, this isn't the type of gift that gets labeled "boring" after a week; it has been months since I purchased it for my friend, and we still talk and joke about it frequently.

I've heard a few complaints that this boyfriend pillow does not have the hot, desirable six-pack of steel for a chest. My friend was slightly disappointed by his lack of strong physique, but honestly, it would not be comfortable to sleep on a muscular boyfriend pillow. I enjoy the plumpness of the boyfriend, because it allows me to be comfortable sleeping wrapped in his arm all night. The only reason I can see a woman giving up her boyfriend pillow is if she gets a "human boyfriend," but honestly, any human relationship would be a disappointment after a few weeks of this pillow.

I received this pillow as a gift. My guy is deployed and cuddling with the dog just doesn't get it. I was very surprised when he sent this to me. Not only is it a comfy pillow, but it's great to be cuddled up with. The great gift for couples that are separated by distance. The shirt comes off easy for washing.
