O O O O O O O!

There has been so much about female orgasm in the news lately, I just can't keep up!

The latest is some research going on in Copenhagen that is showing that much of a woman's brain shuts down during orgasm. Fear receptors, pain receptors, all of that stuff is inactive during climax. So is the part of the brain that handles emotional control (which could explain the uncontrollable laughing and/or crying that can appear shortly after a particularly intense orgasm).

My favourite part of the article as follows:

"Dr. 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."

See, there's some kind of cosmic balance to the different ways the sexes reach orgasm; it may be harder for women to get to climax, but when we do, it certainly lasts a lot longer.

Read the full story here, from The Globe and Mail.

ps - Thanks Reader R for the link!!
