Bionic ’sex chip’ that stimulates pleasure centre in brain developed by scientists
Scientists are developing an electronic ’sex chip’ that works by stimulating the pleasure centres in the brain.
The technology, which creates tiny shocks deep in the brain, has already been used in America to treat Parkinson’s disease.
Now researchers are focusing on the orbitofrontal cortex, which is associated with feelings of pleasure caused by eating and sex.

Uh…Haven’t any of these scientists read Ringworld by Larry Niven?
You would think some of the “scientists” had at least read some “science fiction”. *shrugs* Oh, well.
