- jules 16y agoWhat does it mean to patent a peptide? I suppose that it doesn't mean that everyone has to pay him to get an orgasm. He didn't patent a process for making the peptide either. So perhaps it's the use of the peptide in other situations than a natural orgasm? If I discover a planet, can I patent the use of the planet?

- pavs 16y ago> I suppose that it doesn't mean that everyone has to pay him to get an orgasm. I laughed so hard after reading that and thinking of the implications of such a scenario. My gf asked my what happened; I told her someone has patented orgasm bliss. I think she believed me and seemed genuinely concerned about paying someone to get orgasm.

- elai 16y agoIsn't there an orgasm-by-wire already?
- HeyLaughingBoy 16y agoYou seriously don't think there would be money in an orgasm pill?
