So why is it that the stereotype for gamers is a lonely nerd? Apparently over a third of Australian gamers are members of the fairer sex, at least according to a study by Roy Morgan commissioned by Microsoft.

Unfortunately, the study didn't go into detail on where the best games to meet women were, but it did say that 44 percent of respondents were aged between 14 and 24. It also said that the majority of these female gamers play less than once a month, so don't expect to form an ongoing, meaningful relationship too easily.

The other important thing to note is that the average income for women gamers is $76,300. Which means, should you be lucky enough to find and woo one of these wonderful creatures, you'll be set for life.

Continuing our weirdness from Japan theme, a company called Avex has just released a DVD that teaches men to be more confident by staring at 50 different women for an hour and a half. Most Japanese men do this already, but instead of the women being in various states of undress, these women are just plain staring back at you, right in the eye, in a sort of glowering manner.

You may be forgiven for thinking it's toilet week here on Giz, but how could we not show you this? The Peeandgo, designed by Chen-Karlsson takes its inspiration from traditional squat urinals in Asia and the Middle East, and I'm guessing its *ahem* provocative shape is designed to stop splashback. There's no info on pricing, or indeed on whether that's real gold, so it looks like a design prototype. It's nice to see a rethink, and a bit of luxury devoted to the oft-ignored porcelain things in the bathroom, but, ladies of Giz, do you think this design is actually convenient nowadays?

Hey ladies, imminently expecting to bring a child into the world? No, but you have a sneaking suspicion about the mysterious expansion of your abdominal area? Wouldn't you like to be absolutely sure when/if your water breaks to avoid implausible sitcom rush-to-the-hospital hijinks? The AmniScreen is a schmancy pantyliner that detects the elevated pH in amniotic fluid (gross) and turns teal if you're about to enter a world of birthing pain with a 96 percent accuracy rate. Wow, I got this whole post without puking! I'm pretty impressed with myself. [Barr Pharmaceuticals via Medgadget]

A professor from the University of L'Aquila in Italy says has discovered a clue which may point the way to the fabled G-Spot—or at least prove that some lucky ladies have it, while others don't. Emmanuele Janini's findings (he scanned 20 women, 11 who experienced vaginal orgasms and nine who didn't, with a vaginal ultrasound) have set off a raging debate inside the wonderful world of lady-pleasure.

While many misguided designers think that creating gadgets for women involves merely making a phone pink or giving it a makeup mirror, Stuart Meloy knows what ladies are really looking for: orgasms at the push of a button. And that's just what his Orgasmatron does.
