Brain during orgasm

April 14, 2022

At the moment of orgasm, there is a colossal flow of blood to the brain. All nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the brain. Researchers have found that there is little to no difference between the brain activity of men and women during sex. In both sexes, during orgasm, the area of ​​the brain located opposite the left eye was switched off: the lateral orbitofrontal cortex, responsible for controlling behavior. Researchers suggest that it may be the basis for controlling sexual behavior. Perhaps only by loosening control, you can achieve orgasm. Deactivation of the lateral orbitofrontal cortex occurs only during orgasm. So far, no other activity has been found that causes a similar effect.
