Sperm Extractor Helps Patients Overcome Embarrassment

A Chinese company has created an automatic sperm extractor as a medical device to help patients in fertility clinics to overcome embarrassment.

The sperm extractor aids donors who are reluctant to masturbate in a hospital setting.

The Jiangsu Sanwe Medical Science and Technology Center says their device, which is being sold to clinics in the US, Germany, Russia and France, simulates the temperature and feel of the female sexual organ, being the most user friendly way of collecting samples to sperm donation or for those needing fertility advice.

Designed by Ding Guijiang; he says he based his new technology on the fact that hospitals only use masturbation as their collection method, without providing a venue or method to do it.  This makes collection of samples very difficult.

In order to meet the clinical demands he invented the sperm extractor which is also user friendly; this device is equipped with a silicon massage pipe that resembles the vagina;

its height is adjustable, its speed, force and temperature can be adjusted as well. It also displays movies on the screen above the device to motivate the patient while the machine does its work.

Off course this device is more efficient than masturbation, but there are still some weaknesses.

For instance, it cannot exactly simulate the temperature and feel of the female. On the other hand the device might not fit as well as expected, after all it is made out of plastic and metal.

Jiangsu Sanwe sells around 10,000 of the devices annually, at $13,000 US Dollars each.

Some may laugh at the concept but the creators insist their device is removing the stigma from sperm donation and providing a valuable medical service.
