Flashermac Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 The Zhengzhou Central Hospital in Nanjing, China, announced a new and rather unique therapeutic device that is designed to treat infertility in patients. The hands-free "sperm extractor" is a stand up device with a height-adjustable "massage pipe" that moves inward and outward from the main body of the sperm extractor. According to the manufacturer, the speed, amplitude and frequency can be adjusted by the user, which aims to provide a "warm" and "comfortable" feeling for users who find difficult to retrieve their sperm the traditional, manual way. There is even a screen to play movie content to help with the extraction process. The description of a sperm extractor may be a bit misleading, since the extraction is done not for the purpose of sperm donation, but to collect a patient's sperm during an infertility treatment. Zhu Guoxin, director of the urology department at the hospital also noted that previous methods that involved the use of condoms may have negatively impacted the test results to the use of lubricants and other chemicals on them. The sperm extractor is on sale for about $2,800. Watch the video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I remember one time I had to give sperm for a fertility evaluation. A pretty young nurse gave me a Playboy magazine and a cup. And she wanted me to go into a toilet and provide her a sperm sample in the cup. She was not about to help me get a sample, I might add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
