Apparatus and method for detecting and monitoring the sexual arousal of an individual

An apparatus for detecting and monitoring the sexual arousal of an individual, said apparatus comprising:

• sensing means for sensing physiological changes in the individual that correspond to the sexual arousal of the individual and for generating sensor signals representative of the physiological changes;
• computing means coupled with said sensing means for receiving said sensor signals, for converting said sensor signals to control signals representative of the sensor signals, and for storing said control signals;
• transferring means coupled with and responsive to said computing means for transferring said control signals stored in said computing means to an analyzing device remote from said apparatus for analyzing said control signals to monitor the sexual arousal of the individual;
• and
• attaching means for releaseably attaching said sensing means, said computing means, and said transferring means directly to the individual for permitting the individual to move unrestrictedly while the apparatus remains operably attached to the individual.
