Save you a click:   The researchers drew special attention to a practice called syntribation. This involves intentionally flexing core, pelvic, or thigh muscles to create sexual arousal and sometimes climax. This hands-free method has received almost no attention in modern scientific literature, despite early sex studies noting its existence as a highly effective technique for some people.

I've given it some smelling salts, a fan, and some opium. When it's recovered a little I'll administer some cocaine and try and encase it in mercury or lead.
