Researchers have devised a machine that can help women achieve "emphatic" orgasms at the push of a button.
Slightly smaller than a packet of cigarettes, the device uses electrodes attached to the patients spine, with orgasms being triggered by a remote control, the Independent reported.
The machine is not intended for a mass market looking to spice up their day at whim or expedite their sexual encounters however, but for women who normally struggle to achieve orgasm.
North Caroline surgeon Stuart Meloy told New Scientist how he conjured up the idea while performing a procedure on a female patient.
Clinical trials of the machine are due to commence later in the year, with Meloy adding that it could help couples with withering sex lives.
