An aphrodisiac bionic chip is on its way to stir up the libido

bionic_sex-chip.jpg In an attempt to boost the decelerating sex life of today and tomorrow's stressed out generation, a group of scientists are coming up with an electronic 'sex chip'. Based on the same technology that is used to treat the Parkinson's disease in U.S., this chip can create tiny shocks deep in the brain which in turn triggers the pleasure buttons in the brain. The orbitofrontal cortex, which is associated with feelings of pleasure caused by eating and sex, is targeted.

Dailymail reports that 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.

Points to ponder - Humans will need to succumb to electronic chips to get in the act? Isn't the love of their partner enough? Are humans developing immunity to the effects of Viagra?
