Since I know a woman (who shall be nameless) who can have an orgasm purely through thinking impure thoughts for about 10 minutes, I'm actually not that surprised.

If we elect an America friendly Conservative government in the upcoming election than I may well do so, until then, I have a long memory. Until Americans look at us again with trust that we Canadians have earned, I'm afraid I will remain ashamed.

He tried severing the three known nerve pathways that connect the genitals to the brain - the pelvic, pudendal and hypogastric nerves. Oddly, the rats reacted to sexual stimulation as if their nerves were intact.

Ah, but was it as good for him as it was for them?

If the brain is the largest sex organ and it has an orgasm, I would strongly suggest staying in the middle of the room so as not to bang your head in the throes of ectasy.

---Seriously though. How do they know for sure what they are reacting too? I mean if the nerves were severed, if they could still feel "pleasure", then they might have been feeling "pain" because they can't tell the person
"Hey look Buddy. This isn't an orgasm. You cut my nerves and my body is involuntarily twitching"

I am not sure of the moral consequences of this work. At first sight it gives some form of healing hope for quadraplegics.

Yet if the brain is mainly it, there should be more fulfillment out of it than this. Many fully functioning people choose celibacy and total abstinance for a reason....if thy right hand makes you sin, cut it off, type logic.

So it would be kind of a false hope in that respect, instead of taking life as it is as a blessing to open our eyes to other worlds than the carnal harlotry threatening kinds. Superanimalizing man ourselves is a strange art that makes guinea pigs and rats wiser than us when hungry. Our brain is our asset but also a great betrayer whose sophistication makes it more demanding than it gives.

Accepting Christ is a form of total self-rejection, and rebelling against harshness of life is ambiguous as a promotioyn of life itself.

If quadriplegics want it, and if I could, I'd give them my spinal parts for such things, begrudgingly as a sinner, yes, but I can compute it would be the wiser thing to do.

These "independent pleasure" doctors, on the other hand, bother me. The confederation of a couple's life around an exclusive system of doctors and without a network of charitable donors is bothersome.

For one thing, they never give credit to the husbands who helped wives heal, but the paper credits this "paper writer" researcher... with his "tampon" instruments.

if he could decode the neurobiology of female rat sex.

You have to tell them you hate Bush, and love the environment, puppies, ponies, rainbows and unicorns. You have to pretend to like their poetry. Beer helps.

Since the "largest" sexual organ is the human brain, it's not totally surprising..

Speak for yourself!

A few years ago he divorced his wife, the one who had helped him for decades during his worsening handicap, and took up with his much younger nurse. He must be capable of something extremely sexual. Overall quite a cruel and selfish thing to do, but not surprising either. In my experience, such attitudes and behavior are very common among super-genius and academically oriented men. Which just goes to show that people who are severely physically disabled often aren't much different deep down where it counts than the rest of us, for better or worse.
