AI imagines what orgasms look like

Ever wondered what your orgasm would look like?

Global leaders in sexual happiness and sex toys, Lovehoney Group and Womanizer, wondered enough to ask the aide of artificial intelligence to produce  visual representations of actual and recorded sexual climaxes.

According to EuroNews, “There are, as the wiser amongst you know, different forms of male and female pleasure – with a delightful lexical field linked to natural disasters. ‘Wave’, brief bursts of pelvic contractions; ‘volcano’, an orgasm preceded by an increase in upward pelvic floor tension; ‘avalanche’, the ‘ultimate orgasm’ that is the equivalent to higher pelvic floor contractions. For more on this, you’d do well to refer to the August 2022 publication by The Journal of Sexual Medicine.”

AI, which should be able to scan all available medical knowledge online, must be aware of these distinctions. For the experiment, Lovehoney Group and Womanizer gave five women and five men their award-winning sex toys for masturbation – the Womanizer Pleasure Air toy or the Arcwave male masturbator.

“Electrocardiogram (ECG) strip sensors were placed on their bodies to collect cardiac, respiratory and muscular data,” shared EuroNews.

Teaming up with software engineer Vika Shcherbak and developer Nusha (Noam Rubin) to bring the orgasms to life, the collected orgasm data was given visual details with JavaScript. The resulting image was fed to AI, so as to generate 10 unique orgasm representations.

Of the final images, Lovehoney Group notes that “Current interpretations of the orgasm are completely gender-normative and outdated; people who identify as women are assigned orgasms that are like flowers, or in the shape of a traditional female outline or vulva, while men are given strong, stormy-esque orgasms.”

By using their own collected data, the company hoped to “break down these stereotypes and remove human bias from the equation completely”; however, Lovehoney Group goes on to state that, unfortunately, despite attempting to remove the human bias factor of gender stereotypes, “the unconscious bias that AI holds is evident to see – attributing a more ‘traditionally’ feminine colour to the female orgasm from the code, and a darker, perhaps more ‘masculine’ colour to the male orgasm.”
