That is, at least, the suggestive proposal with which Arcwave Ion has just burst into the sex toy market.

Known in the media as the 'Satisfyer' for men

, this contraption promises to "

intensify the experience of male orgasm

through the use of pulsating air waves that stimulate the Pacini receptors, located at the tip of the penis (equivalent to those found in the clitoris and trigger the most intense orgasms), "explains Johanna Rief, Head of Sexual Empowerment at Wow Tech.

Thanks to this device (whose sale price is 189 euros), they can feel what they experience, their manufacturers say.

The question is: how can we know what each other feels or how it differs?

Rief gives us his version: "In the previous reports and surveys we carried out, we realized that

women claimed that they perceived their orgasms in a more varied and intense way than men

. As a result, our Research and Development team began to delve into this issue to try to find the reason. The results obtained showed that females experience a gradual accumulation until reaching climax, with greater variation, in addition to sharper visible peaks. While, in males, all these processes are more 'flat', "he says.

Do these differences affect our respective 'states' after experiencing them?

"Orgasms have many

health benefits

: they reduce stress, improve sleep, or boost the immune system. After reaching them, the release of chemicals - such as oxytocin, prolactin, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and endorphins - contribute to a feeling of muscle relaxation and fatigue, which occurs equally in both sexes. However, according to a recent study, 80% of the men surveyed felt the need to sleep after orgasm, while in women it was only 46 %, "explains Rief.

HARD TO DEMONSTRATE

What does Ana Sierra, our head sexologist at Zen, think of all this?

"In general terms, I think it is a great marketing campaign because nobody can prove otherwise.

There is no way to accurately gauge

the

differences in the perception of ecstasy by sex

because it changes even in each person, regardless of whether they are male or Although there is no doubt that feeling how the opposite sex experiences orgasm is

one of the great fantasies

that we have all considered, "he says.

Sierra thus justifies his skepticism.

"Beyond the

physiological characteristics of each sex

and what they imply, how can we know exactly what each person feels? With an intensity meter? I'm afraid not, because that way we can only observe some physical parameters (frequency However,

orgasm is not only a bodily, neuronal and hormonal experience

, it is also a psychological one, and that is where the

subjective or interpretive part of the matter

comes into play

. "

That is, no matter how much "cardiac, muscular or cerebral activation is measured,

the mind commands

and it does not have to be experienced in the same way".

Sierra relates that he has heard on countless occasions the testimony of patients who "claimed to have felt those contractions that ecstasy produces but they

did not experience it as something pleasant

; the psychological aspect is fundamental."

"Fear of getting carried away, disconnection with physical sensations, stress, complexes ... There are many reasons that explain this lack of perception of climax. Hence the importance of enjoying

conscious sexuality

," he concludes.

With or without toys.
