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.
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
Yea baby! Send this one home to the wife.
He's living large and laughing easy!
I prefer Nestle's Quik.
Have I mentioned lately how stressful work is???
If you were a woman you definetly would want something else! LOL..
They needed to do a study to find this out? Amazing...
In other news, the sun rises in the east.
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!
"Especially during Ovulation time!"
"I prefer Nestle's Quik."
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.
Isn't academia a great world?
Get grant money and publicity for stuff like this, wow.
Try this one, dude.
Raw? Didja have to say RAW?!
No word on the benefits of men faking orgasm?
"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.
