1. A portable sexual stimulation device comprising:
- an elongated housing that includes an exterior massaging surface configured to provide a sexually stimulating sensation, the elongated housing defining a longitudinal axis;
an electrical energy generating source operatively coupled to the elongated housing, the electrical energy generating source comprising a magnet and a charging coil, the magnet and charging coil adapted to move relative to one another to thereby generate electrical energy in the coil;
a charging circuit adapted to receive electrical energy generated by the electrical energy generating source, the charging circuit comprising a rectifier and an electrical energy storage device;
a vibration motor coupled to the elongated housing, the vibration motor adapted to receive electrical energy from the electrical energy storage device, the vibration motor further adapted to impart vibrational energy to the elongated housing;
a switch adapted to deliver electrical energy from the electrical energy storage device to the vibration motor when the switch is closed;
wherein movement of the elongated housing generally along the longitudinal axis in a reciprocating manner causes the magnet and coil to move relative to one another.
