COPENHAGEN -- New research indicates that parts of the brain that govern fear and anxiety are switched off when a woman is having an orgasm.

In the first study to map brain function during orgasm, scientists from the Netherlands also found that as a woman climaxes, an area of the brain that governs emotional control is also heavily deactivated.

Guys' brains usually shut down during the hunt.

What's with all the female related orgasm threads lately.

"The fact that there is no deactivation in faked orgasms means a basic part of a real orgasm is letting go.

They make it sound like the female orgasm is like some kind of nuclear bomb.

Yeah, what's up with that? I'd better investigate.

I know it's a rough job, but someone has to do it.

How do you re-activate it? I think a lot of people would like to know that.

Why is this news?

Who cares? What, all of 10 sec max, you can't fear anything? Big deal! That duration means everything for survival, don't it?

This is news when the brain shuts down for 10 *min*.

Or after the first beer, which ever comes first.

hmmmm...what part of the male anatomy has no conscience?

It is only appropriate that a female part would shut down accordingly.
