Exiting the Orgasmatron

The orgasmatron is a fictional device in the fictional future society of 2173 in the Woody Allen movie Sleeper. It is a large cylinder big enough to contain one or two people. Once entered, it contains some (otherwise undescribed) future technology that rapidly induces orgasms. This is required, as almost all people in the Sleeper universe are impotent or frigid (males of Italian descent are notably excluded).

Another, related device, an orb also appears in this movie. It is a silver-colored sphere about the size of a grapefruit that contains some (otherwise undescribed) future technology.

In Barbarella (1968)

The device has been invented by Dr. Duran Duran, the evil opponent of Barbarella. Instead of being called an Orgasmatron, Duran refers to it as the Excessive Machine. It resembles a reclining lounge covered with movable finger-like paddles that operate to gently (at first) and pleasurably massage the victim. It is operated from a keyboard resembling that used to control a large organ. By properly manipulating the keys the operator may induce great sexual pleasure in the victim, sufficient to cause death by orgasm (it could be argued then that the device is an instrument of sexual abuse and rape, and that he essentially uses the device to rape Barbarella). In one of the final scenes of the movie the evil opponent is torturing Barbarella with the pleasures of this machine, during which she vocalises extensively ("oh", "ooh", "ahh", etc.). But in the end the machine overloads and is destroyed, while she survives, and feels rather well.
