Sexual Pleasure is Just a Click Away

[Nipun Mohta]

A 'sex chip' is being developed by scientists which will be able to stimulate pleasure centres in the brain, Sunday Times reported. The chip would give tiny shocks from implanted electrodes to the brain.

A research survey conducted by Morten Kringelbach, senior fellow at Oxford University's department of psychiatry, and reported in the Nature Reviews Neuroscience journal, found that the orbitofrontal cortex could be a "new stimulation target" to help people suffering from anhedonia, an inability to experience pleasure from such activities. Stimulating this area can produce intense pleasure, he added.

However, Kringelbach's colleague Aziz said the wiring remains a hurdle. He said that the current technology, which requires surgery to connect a wire from a heart pacemaker into the brain, causes bleeding in some patients and is "intrusive and crude". By 2015, he predicts, micro-computers in the brain with a range of applications could be self-powered and controlled by hand-held transmitters.

An electronic machine that generates sexual sensations is already under development by a North Carolina doctor, Stuart Meloy, who is modifying a spinal cord stimulator to produce pleasure in women. He calls it the Orgasmatron, a name taken from an orgasm-producing device in the 1973 Woody Allen film Sleeper.

Somehow, "intense pleasure" sounds kinda painful. I can't explain why, but it sounds unpleasant. :laugh:

[bigmehdi]

I'd rather have no pleasure at all, than having a "sex chip".

Lol, so true...

wheres the pleasure with pushing a button? (N)

Now I would not mind one of holographic virtual girlfriends Hank had in The 6th Day. (Y)

[Sethos]

I expected so much more out of this thread with a title like that :(

The manual way is ok, but sometimes you want another person involved.

**** it, I'll take 2. Why not?

Does anyone know about the famous rat(s) that pressed the pleasure button instead of the food button (until they died of hunger)? Well, that's what I'm beginning to picture as I read this thread. Replace the rat with a human and you get a similar, though less extreme, response.

You may be lucky enough to find out one day.

[obiwong]

hahahah Orgasmatron

[NienorGT]

Because....., nobody saw this line?

to help people suffering from anhedonia, an inability to experience pleasure from such activities

[Denis W. Veteran]

I pushed a button... and I JIZZED IN MY PANTS!

Now that would be awesome to carry with you on subway rides :D

[Lezard]

Ready for your Speech Mr. President? Just a second, let me cool down "Presses button." Awww thats the stuff!

[Angel Blue01]

I hope this might help people like me, who suffer from the side effects of medications

[nomis_nehc]

I don't know... I wouldn't mind the option I suppose. I have a really high sex drive, and need relief at least once a day... otherwise I pretty much walk around with a boner all the time. So this little 1 push button device would be appreciated.

I could cure that for women... :shiftyninja:

That's easy to say if you don't suffer from it but I bet it's different if you acually have this condition.
