Brain Areas Shut Off During Female Orgasm

Postby Candy » Mon Jun 20, 2005 10:50 pm

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - New research indicates that parts of the brain that govern fear and anxiety are switched off when a woman is having an orgasm.


Holstege said he had trouble getting reliable results from the study on men because the scanning machine needs activities lasting at least two minutes to record an activity. But the men's climaxes didn't last anywhere near that long, meaning he could not reliably compare the scans before climax and during.


I knew it! :lol:

I was thinking that the part of the male brain that governs fear and anxiety is switched into high gear shortly after orgasm.

Edited to add:
Along with a sudden urge to flee.

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


Bob B., I wonder why the doctors didn't record the after orgasm for men, then. :glp-scratchinghead:

With me the part of the brain that governs hibernation kicks in. Now if she would just shut up and leave me alone.

Well, at least the article is equally damning:
"...Women can imitate orgasm quite well, as we know, but there is nothing really happening in the brain," said neuroscientist Gert Holstege...


hehe...

Are they sure this is just associated with orgasm?

Sorry, I just had to.

A friend of my brother-in-law has the nickname "Trigger." When I asked why, my brother-in-law laughed and said, "He's got a reputation of being 'quick on the draw' if you know what I mean."

Reminds of some 'facts' I'd heard once -- the average man has an orgasm about 2 minutes sooner than the average woman.

No, I don't remember where I heard it -- but I often wonder who they got to be the subjects in that particular 'scientific' study.

I thought it was a sudden urge to light a cigarette, then flee.
