Researchers find way to produce ‘instant’ erections using remote control

RUSSIAN researchers claim to have found a way to produce instant erections with a remote control zapper.

Tests on monkeys are reported to show “spectacular” results at the press of a button on a device similar to a TV channel changer.

Research has now begun on humans in the hope of a cure for impotence, says entrepreneur Boris Aleksandrov, a former GP who is behind the studies.

Graphic video footage from a research centre appears to show a monkey getting a sudden and rapid erection.

It is claimed to be a response to a signal from a remote control. The erection vanishes just as quickly after another signal.

Dr Aleksandrov said: "We can cause a monkey to have an erection at any time of the day - remotely.

"We press a button on a remote control. The manhood immediately rises.

"We press the button, the penis droops."

The technique involves connecting tiny electrodes to nerves in the male reproductive system, said Dr Aleksandrov.

Erections are then induced by electro-stimulation of the nerves by remote control.

The "breakthrough" was made by a team of 20 scientists studying male reproductive health and impotence over several years.

Dr Aleksandrov said: “This is the first successful study of its kind in the world, opening a new possibility of fighting erectile dysfunction in humans.”

Pioneering tests have been carried out on men with “encouraging” results, he added.

The first patients were men undergoing planned prostate surgery, with the aim of preserving sexual function afterwards.

Researchers at the Lopatkin Research Institute of Urology have been urged to publish a detailed scientific paper on their claimed breakthrough.

The technique has some similarities to an approach being investigated in Brazil which involves electrical stimulation of the penis.

In tests, two tiny electrodes were placed on the genitals with a power-pack used to generate a current.

Volunteers reported a mild tingling as the current passed through tissue.

Reports say one man in ten suffers erectile dysfunction at some point.

Drugs like Viagra have revolutionised treatment, but more than one in three men sees no improvement with this method, it is claimed.

Last week we told how a man left impotent by diabetes hopes a £1,200 "Vampire penis jab" will reignite his sex life.
