Yes yes yes ping ping ping
Since the "largest" sexual organ is the human brain, it's not totally surprising..
That's cool. I've long thought that the brain is the ultimate sex organ. I guess I'll modify that belief- that the nervous system in general is.
"He found in those with and without spinal injury, it lit up an area called the nucleus accumbens which is, not surprisingly, also activated by nicotine, cocaine and Barry White records."
I think you were right about the brain being the ultimate sex organ. What is surprising is that there is more than one pathway for it to receive info. When areas of the brain no longer receive stimulation such as with hearing loss or a missing limb, adjacent areas begin to take over those regions.
Pretty amazing...we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
There's a joke in there somewhere....
The vagus nerve was an unexpected surprise too- an alternative connection outside the spinal column. Apparently, God thought it was important enough to create a backup plan!
He invented sex, after all...
I'm underwhelmed. Sounds a little sick to me. Who's conducting this research, Josef Mengele? If I should become paralyzed in the future do I need to opt out now? And what of my evil twin?
Well its not a bad discovery for a guy who had nothiong better to do than go around masturbating crippled rats.
BTW..given the refreshing bits of good news coming out of Canada these days, you may have to consider changing your screen name to "Paritally ashamed Canadian" or Somewhat ashamed Canadian"
The explanation at the time was that, there being motor and sensory nerves, her old injury affected the former but not the latter.
I always supected there was a mental component to it- quite bluntly, she was a normal ( except for the limitations of her handicap ), quite uninhibited young woman who liked men, and sex, a lot.
Doesn't even mention the unlimited contortions you can put them in.
So this result of natural selection would be advantageous to the odd para/quadraplegic cave woman who could still barter for food?
re: the brain as the largest sex organ...Does that make Stephen Hawkings a stud?
Curious minds want to know....
And no more of that " I don't go there " stuff. Only downfalls I see, not being able to get her to leave after sex.
"A device called a stimulator"?
They had to create one in a lab? Why didn't they simply go to the local botique and buy one for $14.95?
Nothing new here.
The way to a man's heart?
Through his stomach. (Why else has "wine and dine?" meant the same things through the ages?)
Too slow? You can always try the "Show up nekkid. Bring beer."
"Since the "largest" sexual organ is the human brain, it's not totally surprising.."
yea?... what about shrinkage ... after swimming?
lol
Gee, thats super. An even harder-to-reach spot. Hooray.
