Surprisingly, none of my many lurking readers poured out their inner most thoughts on the vaginal photoplethysmograph, known here as the “pookieograph.”
So, my work has taken me deep into the world of the sexual researcher.
While I had visions of clips on —- s, my research revealed that the pookieograph is a “probe” the size and shape of a tampon that contains an LED light and a light detector. When a woman is sexually aroused, blood rushes to the walls of her pookie and they become darker. So, darker pookie walls reflect more light back to the light detector.
Apparently there is also a “A New Instrument for Assessing Genital Hemodynamic Changes in Women.” It’s called the labial photoplethysmograph. We’ll save that for some other time. Okay?
Mary Roach is a sex researcher who has written a book, Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex. Roach refers to the pookieograph as “Cinderella’s tampon,” described as an LED and some wiring encased in a round-tipped, bullet-shaped piece of clear acrylic with computer cables dangling. Mary has tried the pookieograph and reports that she felt as if a bike chain/lock was flowing from her loins.
