Head massage devices
[edit]
One such massage device is the “Orgasmatron”, made of partially flexible copper wires attached to a handle and operated manually. It is made by an Australian company of the same name. The device is sold in the United States under the name “Happy’s Head Trip”. The Orgasmatron was designed by Dwayne Lacey, who registered the design in 1998.[1] Since it was first brought to market, several similar devices appeared, resulting in legal action from Lacey.[1] According to The Guardian, the device induces “a heavenly, tingling sensation”.[2]
The head massager is used so that the rods encompass the skull of the person massaged, the movements maneuvering it can be either circular or back and forth.
