Study: Women's orgasms relieve stress, anxiety

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.

Woman: I have a stress headache.

Man: I'll be your Excedrin, baby. Yeah.

I've been trying variations of that line for 18 years, and none of them work.

Next time you are in the mood, take a glass of water and two aspirin to your wife. Hopefully, she will say, "What's that for? I don't have a headache." Your response: "Aha!"

Good luck

Many Religion of Peace types support female circumcision especially in Egypt and Somalia. Fatwas are outstanding.

Might be a factor in increased female homicide bombing. Too damn frustrated!

That laugh was better than any ol' orgasm.

OK, this is a put-on, right? More feminist propaganda.

Shalom.

Another moronic study, trying to prove what everyone already knows.

"No word on the benefits of men faking orgasm?"

I tried to do a study on men faking orgasm but every time my husband said he faked, boom, positive pregnancy test.

He's such a liar.
