No volunteers for orgasm implant A scientist claiming to have invented a device which produces orgasms at the touch of a button can't find women to help him conduct trials into it. The implant, inserted under the skin at the base of the spine, triggers a reflex response to produce sensation.Dr Stuart Meloy, from North Carolina, told New Scientist: "I thought people would be beating my door down." .....The US Food and Drug Administration has approved trials of the device, but this cannot go ahead until enough volunteers have been found.
The headline news scroll below the screen had this story captioned 'volunteers hard to come by.'
And described his machine as an 'orgasmatron.'
Shades of 'Sleeper'!

He probably gets a drink thrown on him, socked by the woman's boyfriend, and asked by the bouncer to leave.
Err...not that I know anything about it.

apparently the women are beating something else.
Posted by: skippy on November 28, 2003 05:26 PMMaybe it's because women know there's a long history of problems resulting from researchers planting "the perfect solution for what ails you" into their bodies?
If that is what ails you, I have the perfect thing to plant in your body.
