Women Have "No Emotional Feelings" During Orgasm, Say Neuroscientists

But when a woman reached orgasm, something unexpected happened: much of her brain went silent.

My mental image after reading this is of a lady screaming so loudly that anyone nearby goes temporarily deaf.

thats kinda odd, in my research when i reach orgasm women often feel depressed, unfulfilled, ashamed, and dirty. or basically they dont feel anything at all....so this research is spot on!

I never thought that the orgasm was tied to emotion, it was more the build up and arousal that was tied to emotions.

I think he was doing it all wrong then. I hold seminars at the Motel 6 near the airport if you want to find the right way for you!

I just can't imagine doing that in a PET scanner. And I've done it in a few interesting places, believe me.
