China’s hands-free automatic ‘sperm extractor’

GlobalPost

Researchers at Zhengzhou Central Hospital in China have introduced the latest innovation in sperm donation – a hands free semen getting device.

That's right, the modern world has produced an adjustable contraption that can, with a massage pipe, extract sperm.

There's a display screen and sound system that, according to the Huffington Post, can "help the man focus on his job without distraction."

The as yet untitled machine is meant to for patients who, for some reason, have trouble ejaculating in more, shall we say, traditional ways.

"When a male infertility patient comes for treatment, we must first fully inspect the sperm which requires sperm extraction," said Zhu Guoxin, director of the urology department at the Zhengzhou Central Hospital.

It really is a weird wide world.
