Women Needed to Test Orgasm Machine
11-28-3
LONDON (Reuters)

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.

"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 13,000 pounds ($22,000).

"I don't see it any differently from procedures such as breast implants," Meloy told the magazine.

It is a little on the expensive side, but does it come with a remote control?  

2 Dec 2003 @ 19:05 by spiritseek : Ming...
you know how men are with those remotes, always changing channels every few seconds, a girl just couldn't get any rest. But it would make housekeeping alot more fun.  

2 Dec 2003 @ 19:22 by martha : What would be even better
is if they developed it also for men. Then each could have the other's remote control...I'll leave it to your imagination to finish the scenario.
Thanks all for the chuckle everyone.

Combining Martha's idea with Ming's IM entry at his Log, I wonder if you are aware of a little device you can buy these days that hooks into Instant Message just like a cam. The male or female (different technical variations to it I gather) applies the device to his/her privates, and then your Instant Message pal can play you from his/her keyboard (or joystick?) driving you to uncontrollable frenzy and ultimate orgasm. Available without a prescription.

I NEED TO BE A TRIAL PATIENT!!!
I had a hysterectomy the week I turned 30...just after I had had my very first pentratable orgasm. Six years later, I went through radiation therapy for breast cancer, the year after that a double mastectomy, the next year reconstructive breast surgery, and now I'm done with it all. My husband has been entirely patient with me...it's been three years since we had sex.
PLEASE!!! SOMEONE HELP ME/US!!!!  

31 Mar 2005 @ 02:28 by Ian Alexander @140.211.54.99 : spinal stimulator
well, they turned me on, then turned me off. Is that what they were using on me?!!! It's better than, yup, your wettest dream...
-Ian

ps, I'll take 2 to go. Will you take a check?  

4 May 2005 @ 07:55 by Kudelini @68.102.165.204 : Yeah Right
And I quote "is if they developed it also for men. Then each could have the other's remote control". One of these for MEN?!?! Have you met a man that has problems with orgasms??? Sure if its nerve dammage but then this wouldn't work for him anyway. I do know women that could use this, cough, my ex, cough. But $22,000 for what would basicly be a toy for a man is a bit crazy.
