An American company has released what is believed to be the first of its type – an electrical sexual stimulation device. Stimulation Systems is a Texas-based company specialising in ‘electronic consumer products that bring pleasurable, life-enhancing solutions to the world.
‘The company’s first such product is a hand-held device known as the ‘Slightest Touch’ which works by stimulating the nerve pathways (in much the same way that acupressure or acupuncture does) associated with sexual arousal.
The device attaches to the ankles via two electrode pads, and sends minute electrical charges at the same frequencies the nervous system uses to signal sexual arousal to the pelvic region.
Unlike other sexual aids, the ‘Slightest touch’ does not bring on orgasm, but induces a pre-orgasmic state and testimonials provided by the manufacturers suggest it is very successful in achieving its aims.
One testimonial described the device as taking the user to the ‘one yard line’ (a metaphor for American football), while a radio talk show host who tried the product told her listeners, ‘this is never coming off!"The Slightest Touch Model S-1 sells for US$199.95 and is available from www.SlightestTouch.com
The product which was launched in the United States six months ago is now starting to getting attention in Europe.
Ms Davidson said the company had now sold almost 4,000 devices – some to customers in Britain.
However, the UK’s FPA, formerly the Family Planning Association, urged women to get professional advice before spending their hard earned cash.
"If women feel they have problems with either sex or relationships, it’s better to go and get professional advice about the possible causes, before spending a lot of money on a particular product," said a spokeswoman.
