If this is indeed Luke's intended offer, than I believe it to be a lie. Without the ability to introduced varied pleasure, an Orgasmium would fail to deliver on its promise of "maximal pleasure."

For the offer to be true, it would need to be a Personal Matrix.

Some people think that extended periods of euphoria give up no marginal pleasure. I haven't found that to be the case - but perhaps if we take away any sense of time passing then it would work.
