Women are lucky (and get lucky, too)

 

According to this article, women have three different kinds of orgasms.  Now that's interesting, but being a man, I'll never get to experience even one of theirs.  I imagine men are a bit more monolithic.  (Or something like that.)

What gets me is the research protocol.  Who gets to sign up for this research?

Yes, yes, yes! How women have three kinds of orgasm... and they are categorised as a wave, an avalanche and a volcano

How did the researchers determine this?  Well, they used a smart vibrator (more on that in a moment), and they signed up dedicated research subjects.

"For the study, 54 women used a Bluetooth-connected vibrator, called the Lioness, which detects the force of pelvic floor contractions in two sensors on its sides and sends the data to a secure internet server.

The women, who performed the tasks at home, were instructed to self-stimulate to one orgasm and then turn the device off two minutes after orgasm was achieved.

This was then repeated over several days."

I'll bet it was.

Now, about that Lioness thing.

And the Daily Mail is so helpful:

From Amazon to orgasms! Berkeley-educated engineer, 31, who grew up in 'very religious family' in Korea ditched her job at the tech giant to spend seven years building the world's first 'smart vibrator'

"The tech entrepreneur, who was named on Forbes 30 Under 30 list for 2020, spent the next seven years developing Lioness, a vibrator she compares to a sexual 'Fit Bit.' "

I'm sure product testing was ... hmmm ... insightful.

Does it work?

It appears that it achieves its ... aims pretty well.

I did a quick search for some truly hands-on video demonstrations, but was unsuccessful.  There are videos about it, though.
