Not a bad idea...if they'll fall for the zapper, synchrometer, etc..
then why not a sex toy.

According to the company, the current stimulates two acupuncture points
related to three nerve pathways in the pelvic region -- the hypogastric,
pelvic and pudendal nerves.

"This is a nice marriage of high technology, classic nerve theory and
ancient Chinese meridian theory," said senior design engineer Norman
Comparini.

The device produces a "very gentle tingling sensation" in the lower ankle,
and "butterflies" or "sparklers" in the pelvis, said Cherisse Davidson,
Stimulation Systems' director of customer support, who said she's been using
the device for more than three years.

"It's the same feeling as making out with someone and you're getting very
turned on," said Davidson. "It makes you desire sex.

"I prefer my sex with it," she added. "It intensifies the experience. The
orgasms are more intense, they last longer and I usually have more than
one."

The company said the Slightest Touch was invented by accident. One of the
four co-inventors, who are being kept anonymous, was trying to develop an
electrical foot massager. Using his girlfriend as a test subject, the
prototype didn't do so much for her feet, but it did stimulate her sexually,
Comparini said.

Comparini said the company has sold about 2,000 units since the product
launched last November.

But skeptics abound. Stephen Barrett, a retired psychiatrist from Allentown,
Pennsylvania, who runs Quackwatch, said it was highly unlikely that
electrical current to the ankles would stimulate the pelvis.

"I can't imagine how that would have anything to do with stimulating the
pudendal nerve," he said. "That's nuts. That's bullshit. You're not going to
stimulate anything in the pelvis by stimulating the ankle."
