Sex Toy makes Sparks Fly

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A thrill-seeker electrocuted himself with a home-made sex toy. Manfred Lubitz wired himself up to the gadget, which had a vibrating mat, massage pads and electrodes attached to his genitals, to watch porn movies. Police in Malaga, Spain - where the 65 year old German lived - said: 'There seems to have been a power surge while he was watching a film called Hot Vixen Nuns. And the flat was damp.' Mr Lubitz boasted to friends that his Orgasmatron, named after a sex machine in the Woody Allen film Sleeper, 'was better than a woman and a lot cheaper'.

This is a more interesting write-up, so I vote to keep it even though it is a repeat. Thank you, anonymous scribe!

I like this writeup better than the others. I do not understand the rejection of previous posts on the basis that you couldn't shock yourself with a voltmeter. At least one story called it a "modified voltmeter", and it may have been some other form of voltage regulator. In any event, it seems clear to me that he electrocuted himself with a home made sex toy, which meets the rules of Reproduction, Excellence, Self-Selection, Maturity, and Veracity.
