Sex Chip
I have never liked the idea of having any kind of chip implanted anywhere in my body. I don’t even like the strips they put in dollar bills. The idea of walking around transmitting radio signals has always seems like way too much invasion of my privacy. The idea of having a chip in my brain that can receive signals is even creepier.
Even so, this new chip does sound interesting. I don’t see myself signing up for it, but for people who are unable to experience pleasure it might be worth the trade off. The chip was originally created to help people with Parkinson’s disease. Now it’s being tried on a part of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex to treat adhedonia. Anhedonia is the inability to experience pleasure, normally including pleasure from sex.

According to neurosurgery professor Tipu Aziz, "There is evidence that this chip will work. A few years ago a scientist implanted such a device into the brain of a woman with a low sex drive and turned her into a very sexually active woman. She didn't like the sudden change, so the wiring in her head was removed."
