Women's Brains Really Are Blown By Orgasms An orgasm is literally a mind-blowing experience for a woman, scientists have revealed.Much of her brain shuts down when she reaches a sexual climax.The discovery was made during experiments in the Netherlands when couples' brains were scanned during lovemaking.
Neuroscientist Dr Gert Holstege, from the University of Groningen said it appeared that shutting down the brain during orgasm ensured that obstacles such as fear and stress did not get in the way.
"When you are fearful or have a very high level of anxiety, then it's hard to have sex because during sex you really have to give yourself and let go."
Men were studied in the same way but because the male orgasm typically takes such a short time it was difficult to obtain meaningful brain scan data.
A total of 13 women and 11 men, ranging in age from 19 to 49, took part in the experiments at Dr Holstege's laboratory.
Since it was vital to remain completely still in the scanner, volunteers had to have their heads restrained while being stimulated.
The rest of the body was free to move.
Participants lay naked on a table with their head inside the scanner - but had to wear socks to avoid cold feet.
And there could be a connection with the aphrodisiac effect of alcohol.
"Alcohol brings down the fear level," said Dr Holstege. "Everyone knows if you give alcohol to a woman it makes things easier."
Only in the Netherlands  yes I know it’s not exactly triple x, but I needed to get you in here  From Yahoo news.

You know...How exactly did they conduct this experiment? I mean, did they place an ad in the paper for a "stimulator?" Hmmm.... IP: Logged |

I am also wondering how they conducted this experience.I can just imagine the woman with electrode wires attached to her head while she is reaching an orgasm and the professors and doctors in their white coats with a clipboard in their hands taking down notes.  The " I have a headache excuse is over... IP: Logged |

hee hee...alone Pix or with company?Hmmm... 7 more days and Mr. Taurus will be home from his training...yay!!!! Here is my question; if they had to have their heads perfectly still / retstrained- how did they do it? Did they lower one on top of the other? OR was it through mechanical stimulation? LMAO.. sorry... I am just way too goofy this morning. IP: Logged |
