The female orgasm

Scientists have used brain scan images to create the world's first movie of the female brain as it approaches, experiences and recovers from an orgasm. The animation reveals the steady buildup of activity in the brain as disparate regions flicker into life and then come together in a crescendo of activity before gently settling back down again.

To make the animation, researchers monitored a woman's brain as she lay in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner and stimulated herself. The research will help scientists to understand how the brain conducts the symphony of activity that leads to sexual climax in a woman.

By studying people who have orgasms, Professor Barry Komisaruk, a psychologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey and his team hope to uncover what goes wrong in both men and women who cannot reach sexual climax.

Now that's the kind of research I want to be doing!

Edit:
Not any more

Not sure if it works as well with post-ops. :mrgreen:

Did Syphon tell the truth?

I must admit that I was drunk when I posted that, and as it's a matter of mere minutes since, the following correction may be incorrect; for "Syphon" please read Sithon.

So they can create a movie simulation of the female orgasm? I'm guessing it would be a bit like watching a marathon of the extended LOTR trilogy. Highs, lows, strong character development, deep emotional turmoil and of course a lengthy climax leaving the protagonist quite emphatically spent. Of course this would be worlds apart from the movie simulation of the male orgasm, which would be more akin to a Pixar short of watching Scrat chasing a nut.

Aw c'mon. Do you seriously believe every researcher was monitoring her "brain" as she was stimulating herself? I'd be monitoring another part of her anatomy while trying to conceal the steadily levitating clipboard on my lap. Does that make me a bad person?

See picture of said woman I posted above... I thought the same until I saw her.. she reminds me of a witch from that film... "the witches"... I see her face and all I can hear is "ve vill kill vem all"
