Women Orgasm With Their Brains

by Colleen Barrett 5

So much for blaming men! A new study is taking the pressure off men and putting it on women — because that will help — by suggesting imagination is clutch to female climax.

Brain scans of women who can imagine their way to orgasms show the exact same parts of the brain light up while imagining masturbation and actually doing it, albeit to a lesser degree. Of course, women able to imagine themselves to the top are some kind of sub-sub-species of womankind, but they may be the only ones who can supply answers to the mysterious lady orgasm (and among the few willing to masturbate in a lab for science).

The finding contradicts previous theories and studies, which show letting go is the best way to climax, by emphasizing concentration. What do you think — is focus or forgetting the key to orgasming? Or some perfect blend of both?
