WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Nov. 9, 2004 -- While Dr. Stuart Meloy was working
on a new device to treat chronic pain, he was surprised to discover it
could also bring pleasure to his female patients.
While Meloy, an anesthesiologist and pain specialist in Winston-Salem,
was putting an electrode into the spine of a female patient with chronic
back pain, the woman reported a decrease in her pain and a delightful,
but very unexpected, side effect.
"When we turned on the power in this case, she let out a moan and began
hyperventilating," Meloy said on ABC News' Good Morning America. "Of
course we cut the power and I looked around the drapes and asked her
what was going on. Once she caught her breath, she said 'you're gonna
have to teach my husband how to do that!' "
Meloy soon realized he may have discovered a device that could help
thousands of women who have trouble achieving orgasm.
"The device is the use of a pre-existing device called a spinal cord
stimulator," he said. "Instead of treating chronic pain with the
stimulator, we're treating orgasmic dysfunction," Meloy said.
In a surgical procedure done in his office, Meloy implants the
electrodes from this device into the back of the patient, at the bottom
part of the spinal cord. When the electrodes are stimulated with a
remote control, the brain interprets the signal as an orgasm, he said.
The device is about the size of a pacemaker and can be turned on and off
with a handheld remote control.
Meloy conducted a study of 11 women that he has submitted for
publication to the Journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
"Six of them had never had an orgasm before," Meloy said. "Five of them
had and then lost the ability. The results were promising in my mind. We
were able to stimulate 91 percent of the women, 10 out of 11."
A 48-year-old woman who participated in the study told Good Morning
America she lost her ability to achieve orgasm when menopause hit. But
she says the device, dubbed the orgasmatron, allowed her to experience
extreme pleasure once again.
"Once we found the controls, what caused the stimulation to be greater …
more pleasurable, that's when I saw the results. I did have orgasm, and
there were a couple of times that I had multiple orgasms because of the
stimulator," said the woman, who asked to remain anonymous.
She said it was difficult to part with the orgasmatron when the study
ended.

You mean she gave it back without fighting them to the death? What a
dumbass. Surely they will be marketing it in some form. Sharper Image
catalog, here we come.
