Brain Areas Shut Off During Female Orgasm

COPENHAGEN, Denmark - New research indicates parts of the brain that govern fear and anxiety are switched off when a woman is having an orgasm but remain active if she is faking.

In the first study to map brain function during orgasm, scientists from the Netherlands also found that as a woman climaxes, an area of the brain governing emotional control is largely deactivated.

Pardon me while I...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

gone into neural research...

...and stay off.

:)

:smoke:

Is it also true that Men's centers for reason and logic also shut off PRIOR TO HAVING SEX?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

....How come the Edmond Meese study in 1989 on pornography missed this?

<snip>
The volunteers were injected with a dye that shows changes in brain function on a scan. For men, the scanner tracked activity at rest, during erection, during manual stimulation by their partner and during ejaculation brought on by the partner's hand.

For women, the scanner measured brain activity at rest, while they faked an orgasm, while their partners stimulated their clitoris and while they experienced orgasm.

Holstege said he had trouble getting reliable results from the study on men because the scanner needs activities lasting at least two minutes and the men's climaxes didn't last that long. However, the scans did show activation of reward centers in the brain for men, but not for women.

Holstege said his results on women were more clear.
