Research Says Women can Think Their Way to an Orgasm

by Kathy Jones on August 21, 2010 at 8:57 PM Sexual Health News

Research says that if you are a woman, you can actually think yourself into an orgasm.

Scientists have long been intrigued by the claims of some women who insist that they can 'think themselves to orgasm' even when they are completely alone, with no physical touch involved.

And now, they have confirmed that for women, at least, it's all in the mind.

A few years ago, boffins began working with brain imaging scanners to show what is actually happening in a woman's brain at the moment of orgasm.

"The pleasure centres of the brain associated with orgasm light up in women who think themselves to orgasm in exactly the same way as in women who orgasm through more conventional means," the Daily Mail quoted Dr Barry Komisaruk, co-author of The Science Of Orgasm, as saying.

"The same centres don't light up when a woman mimics orgasm - only if it's the real thing," he added.

Interestingly, the women he examined may all have thought themselves into a state of bliss, but they all did it in different ways- "Some women used a combination of breathing exercises and fantasy. While others used their imagination and pelvic floor exercises," he said.
