[release]Scientists have observed for the first time what goes on inside a woman's brain during orgasm, and it is as complicated as many men suspected.
Neuroscientists in New Jersey have used MRI scanners to discover that 30 different parts of a woman's brain fire up during orgasm and the pleasure is so great it can stop the lucky lady from feeling pain. This is due to parts of her nervous system shutting down, making the woman less aware of pain sensations.
Volunteers brought themselves to orgasm inside an MRI machine, which scanned the brain during the process. For some this took 20 minutes, while most achieved their goal in under five.

Brain areas responsible for emotion, touch, satisfaction and memory are involved.
Perth based clinical psychologist and sex therapist Danielle Hannington said she was not surprised by the findings.
She said female sexuality was incredibly complex, with at least one in seven women unable to climax.
"For women to orgasm it's like we need a series of catalysts to get us over the mountain," she said.
"There are a lot of women who experience difficulty with orgasm. It doesn't mean they don't enjoy sex, though."
Orgasm always involved the mind, and having an orgasm did not necessarily mean a woman was enjoying sex, she said.
"For us as women it's not the goal of orgasm, it's the goal of pleasure or a connection."
The notion that orgasm could stifle pain was not new, with orgasm during child birth something that researchers were interested in.
There are hopes the research may lead to developments in treatment of libido problems and sexual dysfunction.
The researchers have said they plan to move on to men in a follow-up study.[/release]
Why can't men have such orgasms :saddowns:
Interesting.
Too bad I have no practical use for this information.
:frown:
Makes up for the painful child birth I 'spose.

Because as men when we get hurt the only thing we should do is suck it up and carry on, then go punch whatever created that pain.

Maybe I can be the male assistant next time :smug:
Not sure I would be comfortable enough to masturbate inside an MRI machine but I guess someone has to do it... For science?
Can you post a source? I want to send this to my girlfriend.
I've been in an MRI, masturbation would be terribly awkward in such a circumstance.

At least you know what areas of the brain you have to hit her with a hammer on so she'll fire up that epic orgasm.

That explains the low emissions
Hey, anyone notice that this study was conducted in [b]New Jersey[/b]? Coincidence?
[QUOTE=Tools;26028694]Why can't men have such orgasms :saddowns:[/QUOTE]
Because it wouldn't be evolutionarily advantageous for men to have such system-breaking orgasms when fertilization is so important.
Although I am certainly jealous of my girlfriend and how she can go for hours. But while I get a little sleepy, she pretty much passes out afterwards.
This sounds like some sort of bad hentai comic or something.

I though people had to stay completely still when an MRI scan takes place?
you do for a more accurate image, but i imagine if they put your head in something to keep it still it wouldn't be too tricky

when they are looking for malignant tumors and other life-threatening things, yes. that wasn't the case here.
