PSIgasm v2.0 is online!

by ned on August 21st, 2011 at 8:47 pm
Posted In: Uncategorized

Apologies for the long update lag; this news is actually rather old. The PSIgasm version 2 is up and running!

The second version can simultaneously measure body temperature, optical internal skin reflectivity, electrodermal response, and pressure due to muscle tension. This data can be used to monitor local blood volume, moisture levels, and the frequency and amplitude of orgasmic contractions.

The body is cast in platinum cure RTV silicone, from a homemade plaster of paris mold. The sensors and electrodes are embedded in the surface of the silicone, and a hollow core allows for pressure measurement.

Version 2.0 uses an arduino fio microprocessor board with an Xbee wireless shield to transmit data to a nearby computer wirelessly in real time. GUI software allows for simulatenous real time display of graphs of each sensor or physiological variable.

We got to show the 2.0 off for the first time (in a somewhat buggy state) in a workshop Maggie taught at the SF Citadel on the Science of Orgasms in May. We have since had the pleasure of presenting the PSIgasm devices in a segment for Kink Academy which will be posted soon, including footage of the devices in use (with expert commentary of course).

We are proud to announce that the PSIgasm Project will be presenting at Arse Elektronika 2011! This yearly tech sex geek gathering features the crème de la crème of sex thinkers, hackers, and enthusiasts in a three day intellectually orgasmic extravaganza. We are honored to be a part of it this September, and we hope you’ll join us. Arse Elektronika 2010 featured speakers such as Susie Bright and Carol Queen, demonstrations of new technology including transcontinental public remote sex toy control and wearable erotic electronics, DIY workshops and tons more content sufficient to make any sex geek salivate. We’re planning to make this year even better.

Read on to see the full PSIgasm Project presentation submission, with details on the project and on the interactive presentation we have planned. We have a few months before September and the mad science laboratory is going to be burning the midnight oil to make this happen. We hope to see you all there.

Sexploration With Monika: Sex Geek Potluck!

by Maggie Mayhem on March 2nd, 2011 at 6:13 pm
Posted In: Events, Media

On Feb 25th, PSIgasm was thrilled to appear on Sexploration With Monika over at FCC Free Radio. Sex educator and sex educator wrangler Reid Mihalko organized the night and all kinds of amazing people were there talking about what they’ve been busy with lately. Also appearing on the show were: Jessi Fischer, home from her recent  pro-porn debate victory at Cambridge; Megan Andelloux a major east coast sex positive activist and educator; Maymay of Kink On Tap and sex culture critic; writer, educator, activist and sexy geek Allison Moon; Mistress Eve Minax; blogger and sex adventure-seeker Fleur de Lis SF; alongside many more amazing people making films, breaking walls, and talking about sex. Everyone had something fantastic to say but I’m not going to lie to you- there is no chaos like a bunch of sex geeks having a potluck on pirate radio. This edition of “Sexploration With Monika” cannot be missed.

Here are some of the photos and check back soon for an excerpt of what we talked about on the air.

Prototype scale drawing

Here’s a quick drawing of what’s inside to prototype PSIgasm device. It’s just about as simple and easy as it looks. The only things left out of the drawing are an instrumentation amplifier and a female condom to make a better pressure seal.
