Testers needed for orgasm machine
Scientist looking for women to volunteer for clinical trials
LONDON, Nov 26 — Wanted: women to test new orgasm machine. No, really. An American surgeon who has patented a device that triggers an orgasm has begun a clinical trial approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States and is looking for female volunteers.
So far only one woman has completed the first stage of the trial, with apparently breathtaking results.
“I THOUGHT PEOPLE would be beating my door down to become part of the trial,” pain specialist Dr Stuart Meloy told New Scientist magazine on Wednesday.
But so far only one woman has completed the first stage of the trial, with apparently breathtaking results, and a second has agreed to take part.
Meloy, of Piedmont Anesthesia and Pain Consultants in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is hoping to find eight more volunteers willing to have electrodes inserted in their spine and be connected to a pacemaker-size machine implanted under the skin to heighten their sexual pleasure.
The married woman who tested the machine, dubbed an orgasmatron, had not had an orgasm for four years. But during the nine days she used it, she had several.
“She even told me she had the first multiple orgasm of her life using the device,” said Meloy.
He stumbled on the unexpected side-effect while using a spinal cord stimulator a few years ago to treat a patient suffering with severe back pain. The woman had already had back surgery for degenerative disk disease and fusion surgery.
When Meloy placed the electrodes into a specific spot on her spine to find nerve bundles carrying pain signals to the brain, she moaned with delight.
“You’re going to have to teach my husband how to do that,” he quoted her as saying.
The tiny impulses of electricity applied to the electrodes seemed to have turned on the patient’s orgasm button.
Although the device has been compared to the orgasmatron featured in the 1973 Woody Allen film “Sleeper,” Meloy envisions patients using it temporarily to retrain their sexual response.
The women in the trial described it as “really excellent foreplay.”
Although some medical experts are skeptical about the procedure and say a vibrator can produce the same results, Meloy believes it could help to improve sexual response in women who cannot have orgasms and might even help men as well.
A full implant of the device would cost about $22,000.
“I don’t see it any differently from procedures such as breast implants,” Meloy told the magazine.
Invitro fertilization, orgasm machine. What next mechanical husbands.
I've read about this orgasm machine. Don't fall for it! They have the women lie down on a table that has a small, indiscreet hole in it. Unbeknownst to the women, Slappy is under the table.
Some of the women claim to have experienced pleasure, but most say it was an annoying, poking sensation, and they left the experiment feeling dirty and ashamed.
This deal was done years ago. Jane Fonda in "Barbarella." They had "The Orgasmatron" in that psychedelic flick. One of those great cult films.
Watch it!
Hmmmmm - well, if one is non-orgasmic, and one can afford it, why not?
orgasms be pretty damn good.....
In addition to 'Barbarella', an oragsmatron was also featured in Woody Allen's 'Sleeper.' The doctor must be a movie fan.
Orgasm machine!
Gives women very intense orgasms!
Only modesty prevents me from revealing that the original orgasm producing machine is typing this post at the moment.
Be cautious brother Frank. There are people of alternative lifestyles who might just want to meet up with you subsequent to a post like that one.
Grotto
I stress the word "women"...
...but your advice is noted.
I will be careful.

You think you are better than the machine. Do you have any testimonials

Probably more testimonials than good sense allows me to comment on, but...
...I actually didn't say or infer that I was BETTER than the machines.
I was just wondering if I was the prototype!!!! :wink: :wink: :wink:
I read about this some time ago, I thought.... at least the part about the spine thing triggering orgasms by accident. Maybe it was a dream. I'm with Deb on this. Why not go for it if you're otherwise unable to get off?
Figure it is like tech and other stuff, next year, $6250. 2005, it'll be $3400. 2006, it'll be 2 for 1995....
