I personally know several who say they enjoy using sticks. Most of
them are women, so naturally I suspect the enjoyment comes from a
reduced rate of food intake. (Women are often obsessed with losing
weight even if they're not fat.) A couple of men like them because,
frankly, they're gadget geeks who like doing things that most people
don't do.
