“At the moment of orgasm, women do not have any emotional feelings,”Huh. I mean, it's not something I'd have even thought to state. Which is why I'm not paid the big research bucks.
I wonder, though -- especially for a female orgasm -- are they the same in a lab as they are at home? Are the women who can come enough for research purposes in clinical scenarios having the same sort of orgasms as they ones how need more conducive psychological surroundings?

Maybe some women are into that....
In unrelated news, some people should not be allowed to watch Fight Club:
A bar of soap reportedly made from fat pumped from Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi has gone on display.
Artist Gianni Motti claims he made the soap made from fat from Berlusconi's liposuction operation.
It is part of an art exhibition in Basel, Switzerland, where anyone wishing to wash their hands with Berlusconi can buy it for £10,000.
The artist who put the soap on display, Gianni Motti, 47, claims to have acquired the fat from an employee of an elite plastic surgery clinic in Lugano in Switzerland.
Motti said: "Berlusconi had face lifting and liposuction operations in a clinic in Lugano, where I have good connections that provided me with some of the fat. It was jelly-like and it stunk horribly, like butter gone off or old chip pan oil."
According to Motti, the artwork called Mani Pulite (Clean Hands) expresses opposition to corruption and mafia structures in Italy, as well as his personal opinion of Berlusconi's policies.
He said: "I came up with the idea because soap is made of pig fat, and I thought how much more appropriate it would be if people washed their hands using a piece of Berlusconi."
I don't think I could do it, with my head in a PET Scan thingie. Maybe *that's* why their brains shut down?
Also, I get a bit defensive because I have trouble remembering if I'm supposed to do Father's Day, because we don't do Mother's Day. And my family gets really irritated by Valentine's Day (well, my mother and I do. So my mother sends me a card about marrying a rich man, and then we laugh). It can be a weirdly touchy subject, much like telling your kids there's a Santa Claus or not -- you'd think it'd be an individual family choice, but in fact lots of people get all het up about whether other people should do it or not.
Was the original entry one that lambasted the holiday? I ask, because frankly, I'm sick of the "I HATE Holiday X" posts. I don't think I'd go off in the comment-section of a blog with that sort of entry, but I would in my head. When I don't celebrate a holiday, I don't resent the mere mention of it, and bitch as if anyone who could get enjoyment from it was either a dupe of the mega corporations, or a deluded fool.

More to the point, would they have to redesign the machine if they wanted to study the vaginal orgasm?
Why am I thinking about these things instead of thinking about work? I am depraved.
In one sense the findings appear to confirm what is already known, that women cannot enjoy sex unless they are relaxed and free from worries and distractions.
Huh. I would have concluded that orgasm frees a woman from worries and distractions.

I was under the inpression that orgasm freed women from having to fake it.
Along the lines of what -t said, I was going to post that it appears that they made a logical fallacy-- just because orgasm causes fear and anxiety to go down, does not mean that fear and anxiety must go down for orgasm.

But is that what the study tells us? I'm trying to be scientific here. There are women having sex with their heads in PET scans so we can know these things.
