WOMEN'S BRAINS SHUT DOWN DURING ORGASM

Orgasms Mind Altering for Women

Orgasm is literally a mind-blowing experience for a woman, scientists revealed today. Much of her brain shuts down when she reaches a sexual climax, including areas that deal with emotion.

Neuroscientist Dr Gert Holstege, from the University of Groningen, who led the research, said: “The main thing we saw in females is deactivation of the brain, which was unbelievable; really very pronounced.

“I think that’s the major outcome of the study. What you see is deactivation of large parts of the brain, especially the emotional brain, the fear centers.”

“Deactivation of these very important parts of the brain might be the most important necessity for having an orgasm,” said Dr Holstege. “When you are fearful or have a very high level of anxiety, then it’s hard to have sex because during sex you really have to give of yourself and let go.”
