From ‘When Harry Met Sally’ to ‘Black Swan,’ orgasms have been depicted in blockbusters for decades.
But scientists have taken a new approach to visualizing the ‘Big O’: by enlisting the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
LoveHoney’s team used heart monitors to record 10 volunteers as they climaxed, before using AI to bring the data to life.
“Ever wondered, at the height of climax, at the height of sexual pleasure, the rush of existence (too far?), I wonder what my orgasm will be like.” Lovehoney said.
“Well, you don’t have to wonder anymore, as together with Womanizer we have created images of real orgasms using AI.”

Lovehoney and Womanizer set out to visualize orgasm and found that it had never been successfully captured in an image.

“Everyone’s interpretation of an orgasm is unique,” Lovehoney explained.
In fact, our recent survey found that the top descriptions of an orgasm were “volcanic eruption,” “fireworks,” and “shooting star”; everything close but without cigar.
“Now that we have this magical tool that can conjure things out of thin air, we wanted to combine real data with this new technology to create something as close to the real thing as possible.”
To create the images, the team recruited 10 anonymous volunteers (five women and five men), who were given ECG strap sensors to monitor the heart.
The women were then given a Womanzier Pleasure Air toy, while the men were given an Arcwave male masturbator, allowing them to reach orgasm.
The collected data was passed to software engineer, Vika Shcherbak, and visionary developer, Noam Rubin.

The resulting images depict male orgasms in dark purple, while female orgasms are shown in bright pink.
Shapes range from mushroom-shaped tufts to onion-shaped spheres, and each one is completely unique.
“These images are not perfect,” added Lovehoney.
“But what they do sum up perfectly is that while orgasm is something experienced by most adults, each one is unique, like a flake of snow.”

The new visualizations come shortly after researchers shed new light on Britain’s great “orgasm gap.”
Durex surveyed 2,000 Britons about their sexual experiences and found that, on average, men have four times as many orgasms as women.
Only 5 percent of women said they always orgasm during a sexual encounter, compared to 20 percent of men.
A fifth of sexually active women said they were frustrated or disappointed as a result, but 11 percent say they’ve gotten used to it.
“I find this deeply heartbreaking, when intimacy can be so much more rewarding overall,” sex expert Alix Fox told MailOnline.
