Orgasmatron Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The orgasmatron is a fictional electromechanical device that appears in the 1973 movie Sleeper, which also shows the effects of a related device, an orgasmic orb. An unnamed device with similar effect (but applied to devious purposes) appears in the movie Barbarella.
In Sleeper
The orgasmatron is a fictional device in the fictive future society of 2173 in the Woody Allen movie Sleeper. It is a large cylinder big enough to contain a single person. Once entered, it contains some (otherwise undescribed) future technology that induces orgasms.
The main character Miles Monroe, played by Allen, is being hunted by the police as being subversive to security of the state, and attempts to hide in it, thinking it is a closet. He is discovered there, and easily captured in a daze, with a dopey smile on his face.
Another, related device, an orgasmic orb also appears in this movie. It is an silver colored sphere about the size of a grapefruit that contains some (otherwise undescribed) future technology When the orb is touched by a human it induces pleasurable erotic sensations.
In another scene the Miles must once again escape from the police, this time from a location where a party is ongoing. He takes as his disguise a tuxedo, paints his face white, and places in his mouth the perforated top of a large salt shaker, and so resembles one of the several robotic servants at the party. As such, he is ordered by the host to pass the orgasmic orb among the guests. Unlike the robots he is imitating, he is not insensate to the effects of the orb. Much physical humor results from his reaction to firmly holding this device, which party participants only lightly caress.
In Barbarella
The device (which is never actually called an "orgasmatron") has been invented by Durand Durand, the evil opponent of Barbarella. Near the end of the movie he incapacitates Barbarella and places her in the device—it resembles a reclining lounge covered with movable finger-like paddles that operate to gently and pleasurably massage the victim. It is operated from a keyboard resembling that used to control a large organ. By properly manipulating the keys the operator may induce great sexual pleasure in the victim, sufficient to cause death by orgasm (a purely fictive concept for those in good health). In one of the final scenes of the movie the evil opponent is torturing Barbarella with the pleasures of this machine, during which she vocalizes extensively ("oh", "ooh", "ahh", etc.). Barbarella successfully overloads the machine, which is destroyed, and survives, feeling rather well.
As it is a (potentially) remotely controlled machine it may be considered to be in the general classification of teledildonics, itself a specialized form of haptics.
