No faking female orgasm in scientific research

Women may be able to fool their partners by faking an orgasm but a brain scanner will catch them out every time, a conference heard Monday.

Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have used scans to show that different areas of the brain are stimulated during an orgasm but are not activated when a woman fakes it.

"Women can imitate orgasm quite well," Gert Holstege told a fertility meeting Monday. "But there is nothing really happening in the brain."

He and colleagues took brain scans of 13 women and 11 men, aged 19-49 who had volunteered for the study, while they were being sexually stimulated by their partner and during an orgasm and compared them to images of their brains at rest.

"We wanted to know what the brain was doing during orgasm," Holstege said.

When women genuinely achieved an orgasm, areas of the brain involved in fear and emotion were deactivated. Those areas stayed alert however when women were faking it.

The researchers also found that the cortex, which is linked with consciousness, is active during a fake orgasm but not during the real thing.

"The deactivation of these very important parts of the brain might be the most important thing necessary to have an orgasm," said Holstege.

"It means that if you are fearful or at a very high level of anxiety, then it is very difficult to have sex because you really have to let yourself go," he added.

The brain scans for men during orgasm were less conclusive, according to Holstege.

But they did show that different parts of the male and female brain are activated and deactivated during sexual stimulation.

The researchers found less deactivation in the males in the areas of the brain linked to emotion and fear when they were sexually stimulated.

They are now planning further studies to compared the male and female brains during orgasm.

About 5,300 delegates are attending the 4-day meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.

I don't know whether to laugh at him or feel sorry for him...

[najida]

He was a gold-plated, self-centered jerk....but it was no surprise.

[RockinRight]

Yup...that's quite true.

[RockinRight]

Well...I'm tempted but I'll be good...

[rintense]

If guys had ANY knowledge about the female body, and what it does during an orgasm, they would know when its fake.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

Thanks you. :-)

Besides I could be wearing granny panties and an old t-shirt.

FOTFLOL!

[RockinRight]

Well said. As a man, I will say this-the more you know about a woman's body, and the more you can please her, the more YOU will benefit...

[SittinYonder]

I'm guessing you could be in trouble here...

LOL! I pretty much stay in trouble, but luckily I'm so good looking she can't stay mad at me for long.

I pretty much stay in trouble, but luckily I'm so good looking she has such a good sense of humor she can't stay mad at me for long.

Damn, man, how about a ping?

I've heard (cough, cough, hack!...ahem) the best boinking to be had is when you are both going at it with the (imaginary) intent of making the gal preggers. This makes much sense, as this is what the system is designed for - sail with the winds of Mother Nature, not against them.

Of course, whether you actually intend to get he gal pregnant is another matter entirely, and should be taken into account up front....especially when using the above strategy in bed. :^)

...their own pleasure is doubled if their women are enjoying themselves.

You hit the nail on the head there young Lady!

I get a little help from the very nice & helpful people at VS. I just give them the same sort of clueless look like women give mechanics and they are real good to me.

LOL, I do the same thing... hoping I can get one to model some of those outfits for me... !!!

[Baraonda]

Willing, able and ready.

Where do I register for class?

[Baraonda]

Me active?

No, I just lay there.
