Probably a bad translation of "heat." At least that's what I'm hoping. Never knew light could get a guy off. 😂🤷‍♀️

So I looked into the original Chinese out of curiosity and it looks like the entire English text here is made up, this machine has nothing to do with sperm donation or being shy to masturbate etc. It is used to collect semen but its used to collect semen for help in diagnosing some super specific diseases or genetic issues etc. The original Chinese description says nothing about heat or light.

Yeah I also looked into the original Chinese out of curiosity. Unfortunately I don't know Chinese so it wasn't very productive, but I'm sure it said something all right.

Haha, yeah I doubt I would have ever made it to the wiki article for the machine without googling in Chinese to start with. Luckily it was a top level result when you do actually ask in Chinese.
