It's more a question of pressure, suction and blood circulation. The 70-year-old German inventor discovered that the female orgasm isn't actually that much of a mystery. According to Wow Tech, the Berlin-based company created from Lenke's business and another firm in 2018, sales of the Womanizer have topped 3 million, led by shoppers in Europe and the US. Seven years and millions of orgasms later, Lenke's creation, known as the Womanizer, has become one of the best-selling sex tech devices in the world - despite a name that sounds more cringe-worthy in English than intended. "I went through all the technical possibilities and soon thought: probably air pressure could work," Lenke said. When Lenke read the statistic, he was astonished - and determined to do something about it. Many studies show that half of all women rarely or never orgasm. The inequality Lenke wanted to fix wasn't about money or leadership. He walked down a flight of stairs to his hobby cellar in Metten, Bavaria, in southern Germany, took an aquarium pump and a plastic hose and got to work. When Michael Lenke set out to battle inequality between men and women, he didn't travel far.
