Science Catchs Woody Allen After 30 Years

If
there’s anything more American the celebrity sex stories, we don’t know
what it is. Sometimes it gets hard to tell if life is imitating art, or
visa versa. It took 30 years, but science has finally caught up with Woody
Allen, who in the 1973 hit "Sleeper" invented the "Orgasmatron".
Well, whatever the human mind can imagine, some sick scientist is sure
to invent. Amazing to me it took 30 years….

Scientists are struggling to find women willing to try out a device dubbed
the “orgasmatron”. The electronic implant is said to cause instant sexual
arousal at the flick of a switch. American researchers are investigating
its potential for helping women who find it impossible to achieve orgasm.
New Scientist magazine reports volunteers for the study are in short supply.
Dr Stuart Meloy, the surgeon who patented the treatment, said: “I thought
people would be beating my door down to become part of the trial, but
so far I am struggling to find people.”

We suspect this may have something to do with the fact that the experiment
involves inserting a series of wires from an external device into the
subject’s spinal cord…
