Science fiction provides us with many examples of machines that give you instant orgasms: the Orgasmatron from Woody Allen's Sleeper, the orgasm gun in comedy Orgazmo from Trey Parker and Matt Stone (creators of South Park); the tasp weapon from Larry Niven's novel Ringworld; and the scary pipe organ that makes Barbarella get wiggly. But there are real-world orgasmatrons too, and the maker of one of them is looking for a new crop of volunteers to test a spinal implant that delivers a pleasurable shock directly to your pelvic nerves.

Stuart Meloy, whose spinal implant causes orgasms in most women, has patented the device and tested it on several women and men a couple of years ago. Now he needs to go through another round of tests as he preps the device for FDA approval to treat "female orgasm dysfuntion," defined simply as an inability to have orgasms. Here's a diagram of how it works. A small box about the size of an Altoids tin is attached to two thin wires that snake under your skin and attach to the nerves in your spine responsible for sexual pleasure. Send electricity through the wires, stimulate the nerves, and watch the hot results.

According to an article last week in the Los Angeles Times:

Women who have used the device say they feel as if their clitoris and vagina are actually being stimulated, to quite realistic effect. ("One woman asked me, 'Would it be considered adultery if I gave the remote control to someone other than my husband?' " Meloy says.)





Do you think this will hurt Viagra sales? :rofl:

2. They had me right up until the words...

..."spinal implant." Uh... no thank you! :-(

13. yes

if I thought implantation of silicone bags in a chest wall was absolutely ridiculous, I doubt I'll be champing at the bit for a SPINAL IMPLANT

3. If I recall correctly, I think the orgasm gun from Orgazmo was called

the 'orgasmerator' or something like that.

11. It's a good sales pitch for acupuncture. Why can't you just stick a needle

directly from the back into those bad boy nerves and get the same effect?
