Achieving sexual
climax requires
a complex
conspiracy of
sensory and
psychological
signals—and
the eventual
silencing of critical
brain areas

Interesting that the part of the brain suppressing primary drives and urges gets shut off (so women become "uninhibited" when they orgasm), fear and anxiety. Maybe I can volunteer to have my anxiety treated by continuous orgasm? female orgasm and brain function

Perna it may sound like a good treatment for anxiety but just look at the scene in Woody Allen's *Sleeper* when He OD's on the *Orgasmatron* it's not a state the human body can sustain for very long but I guess it'd be fun to try and see for how long though....akin to seeing how long one can hold thier breath female orgasm and brain function

Feels much better than holding one's breath though :-) I remember that scene in Sleeper.

I wonder if "an orgasm a day will keep the anxiety away" :-) Do they say how long the "effects" last?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
