From TechCult:

QUOTE
Scientists say they’re within years of developing a high-tech sex chip that, once placed in your body, will deliver “deep brain stimulation.” Interested?

Let me be clear — this thing’s for real. An upcoming report in the Nature Reviews Neuroscience journal talks about how a part of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex could serve as a “stimulation target” to help people experience pleasure. Researchers have used that knowledge to create a preliminary chip that delivers said satisfaction.

So how well does this bad boy work? The journal cites a trial in which a woman had an early chip model implanted. She suddenly went from having a low sex drive to being a nympho, from what the researchers say. (Okay, they didn’t actually use the word “nympho.” But they probably should have.)


They go on to say that the woman requested to have it removed, saying that she didn't like her newfound friskiness.

No.

Dunno, Chad, but I did just see this from the article linked in the article I linked to:

An electronic machine, named the Orgasmatron, taken from the 1973 Woody Allen film Sleeper, is already under development by a North Carolina doctor, who is modifying a spinal cord stimulator to produce pleasure in women.
