Study: Women's Orgasms Relieve Stress, Anxiety Researchers Couldn't Get Reliable Results From Men

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- For women, having an orgasm is more than just pleasurable -- it's apparently also a stress-reliever.

Researchers in the Netherlands have found that the part of a woman's brain that governs fear and anxiety is turned off during an orgasm. But it remains active if she's faking.

In the study, researchers injected men and women volunteers with a dye that shows changes in the brain function on a scan. For women, the scanner measured brain activity at rest, and during real and faked orgasms.

Researchers said it was hard to get reliable results from the men because the scanner needs activities that last at least two minutes -- and men's climaxes don't last that long.

The results of the study were presented Monday to an annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.

I have nothing to add, either; just wanted to see what an *Orgasm Ping* might feel like. Heh, heh, heh...

Hey, not bad....

Well dang, I don't know. What threads were pulled?

Do a quick search - you'll be amazed.

Oh, I'll do a search alright...but it won't necessarily be quick.... (8^)

All 3 of the ones that missyme started. They were about what turns people on or off.
