## Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and apparatus for enhancing a sexual intercourse experience. A first sensor is worn on a first person engaging in sexual intercourse with a second person. A second sensor is worn on the second person. The proximity of the first and second sensors is communicated to a sound module that outputs sound, music, and/or lights that are synchronized to the thrusting motion occurring during the sexual intercourse.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for producing output synchronized to sexual intercourse motion, comprising:
a first wearable relative position indicator configured to be worn on a first person;
a second wearable relative position indicator configured to be worn on a second person;
a sound module disposed to:
receive sensor data from the first wearable relative position indicator,
convert the sensor data into a proximity signal;
play, based on the proximity signal, a first sound effect during sexual intercourse between the first person and second person; and
play a second sound effect upon completion of sexual intercourse between the first person and second person.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the sound module further comprises a light source.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the sound module further comprises a MIDI file library.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the sound module further comprises a recorded song library.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the sound module further comprises a sound effects library.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the sound module further comprises a network interface configured to access an external sound library via an Internet.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein each wearable relative position indicator comprises a proximity sensor disposed within a housing, wherein the housing is affixed to a belt.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the sound module is an application running on a computing device.

### Claim 9

A method for producing stimulus that is synchronized to sexual intercourse motion, comprising:
transmitting sensor data indicative of distance between a first wearable relative position indicator and a second wearable relative position indicator;
converting the sensor data into a digital proximity signal comprising a proximal state and a non-proximal state;
emitting a first sound effect when the digital proximity signal indicates a proximal state; and
detecting an end of sexual intercourse based on the digital proximity signal indicating a proximal state for a period of time exceeding a predetermined threshold.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, further comprising emitting light from a light source when the digital proximity signal indicates a proximal state.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, further comprising emitting a second sound effect upon detecting the end of sexual intercourse.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the emitting the first sound effect comprises emitting the first sound effect through an application running on a computing device.

### Claim 13

A method for producing stimulus that is synchronized to sexual intercourse motion, comprising:
transmitting sensor data indicative of distance between a first wearable relative position indicator and a second wearable relative position indicator;
converting the sensor data into a digital proximity signal comprising a proximal state and a non-proximal state;
detecting a first tempo based on a frequency of transition to the proximal state of the digital proximity signal;
playing first music corresponding to the detected first tempo;
detecting a second tempo based on a change in the frequency of transition to the proximal state of the digital proximity signal; and
playing second music corresponding to the detected second tempo.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, wherein playing the first music comprises playing a MIDI file at a playback tempo matching the detected first tempo.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, wherein playing the first music comprises playing a recorded music file having a recorded tempo corresponding to the detected first tempo.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, wherein the first music and the second music is played through an application running on a computing device.

### Claim 17 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, further comprising emitting light from a light source when the digital proximity signal indicates a proximal state.
