Brain areas shut down during female orgasm

IF you plan a quiet sex not to wake up the sleeping children, and you do it successfully, know your wife has not reached her orgasm.
AP News quoted new research which indicates parts of the brain that govern fear and anxiety are switched off when a woman is having an orgasm.
That means at that particular time, all inhibitions and promises are thrown out through the window.
In the first study to map brain function during orgasm, scientists from the Netherlands also found that as a woman climaxes, an area of the brain governing emotional control is largely deactivated.
However, these areas remain active if she is faking orgasm, said neuroscientist Gert Holstege, while presenting his findings to the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.
The study included 11 men, 13 women and their partners. The volunteers were injected with a dye that shows changes in brain function on a scan.
The scanner measured women brain activity at rest, while they faked an orgasm, while their partners stimulated them and while they experienced orgasm.
When women faked orgasm, the cortex, the part of the brain governing conscious action, lit up. It was not activated during a genuine orgasm.
Even the body movements made during a real orgasm were unconscious, Holstege said.
