This is an infamous case from the 1970s, in which psychiatrist Robert Heath ? placed “pleasure electrodes” in the brain of a gay man code-named B-19, in part, as an attempt to “cure” his homosexuality.
The patient pressed a button compulsively to turn on an electrode that induced a desire for sex, but whether he actually enjoyed the sensation was unclear.
With permission from the state attorney general, Heath arranged for a twenty-one-year-old female prostitute to visit the lab, and he placed her in a room with B-19. For an hour B-19 did nothing, but then the prostitute took the initiative and a successful sexual encounter between the two occurred. Heath considered this a positive result.
Little is known of B-19?s later fate. Heath reported that the young man drifted back into a life of homosexual , but that he also had an affair with a married woman. Heath optimistically decided that this showed the treatment was at least partially successful.
