What is "orgasmatron"

n. (context scifi English) A hypothetical device capable of inducing orgasm.

The orgasmatron is a fictional electromechanical device that appears in the 1973 movie Sleeper, which also shows the effects of a related device, an orgasmic orb. Similar devices have appeared in other fictional works. The term has also been applied to a non-fictional device capable of triggering an orgasm-like sensation using electrodes implanted at the lower spine.

Author Christopher Turner has suggested that the orgasmatron was a parody of Wilhelm Reich's orgone accumulator.

Orgasmatron is the seventh studio album by the band Motörhead, released 9 August 1986, on GWR, their first with the label.

It is the only full Motörhead album to feature Pete Gill on the drums, although he also played on the new tracks recorded for the previous 1984 compilation album, No Remorse.

The Orgasmatron is a manually operated head massage device made of partially flexible copper wires attached to the handle. The device has been specifically designed to gently massage the head and the back of the neck.

It is made by an Australian company of the same name. The device is sold in the United States under the name Happy's Head Trip.

The Orgasmatron was designed by Dwayne Lacey, who registered the design in 1998. Since it was first brought to market, several similar devices appeared, resulting in legal action from Lacey.

According to The Guardian, the device induces "an eye-lash-fluttering state of bliss".
