Friday orgasm blogging
For all the ways science is misused and abused -- something we document way too often around here -- it is still sometimes used for good, rather than evil. To wit: in the last 10 days, 3 new patents were granted with the word "orgasm" in the text. My personal favorite was the "Intravaginal stimulation apparatus," which is apparently a way for one to manipulate a vibrator with one's ankles rather than having to get tendonitis from pushing and pulling something at such odd angles.
There was also the use of (5R)-(methylamino)-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[4,5,1-ij]quinolin-2(1H)-one, (5R)-(methylamino)-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[4,5,1-ij]quinoline-2(1H)-thione and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof to "induce mating" (yikes!) and to treat "hypoactive sexual desire disorder, female sexual arousal disorder, male erectile disorder, female orgasmic disorder and male orgasmic disorder."
