Faking it: how a brain scan can demonstrate whether a woman's orgasm is
the real thing

Meg Ryan's demonstration of a faked orgasm in the film When Harry Met
Sally showed how easy it is to deceive a man in bed.
But neuroscientists have now found that a brain scan can detect when
women are merely going through the motions - it's when they think too
much.

Well, let's hope they never find a way to tell when us guys are faking
it. (Killer show on late TV, you remember you didn't set the VCR? Say
"Uh!", go limp, count three, snore. Wait to be prodded "awake" and
told "get off me, you dope." If that hasn't happened in thirty
seconds, check that she's breathing.)

"The volunteers were injected with a dye that shows changes in brain
function on a scan. Holstege said he had trouble getting reliable
results from the study on men because the scanner needs activities
lasting at least two minutes and the men's climaxes didn't last that long.
Donald Pfaff, professor of neurobiology and behavior at Rockefeller

makes poetic sense,'' said Pfaff."

I'm still trying to figure out how the women they tested with dye
injected and wires on them relaxed enough to have a 2 minute climax.

The article says they invited 13 women and their partners.. I am still
wondering how they managed to get a couple to have sex in an MRI/Cat
scan machine.. and how the in heck both people were able to keep from
moving their heads around at the moment of orgasm.

Ignore the innuendo. New research into the female orgasm can help men
and women have better sex
Cherry Potter
Wednesday June 29, 2005
The Guardian
The media have been having fun with the female orgasm debate this
month. "It's the fear of all men - is she faking it?" was the
introduction to a Channel 4 news item last Tuesday. No it wasn't about
Meg Ryan in a restaurant; Dutch neuroscientists had asked women to fake
it in a brain-scanning machine.
New Scientist came up with an equally provocative headline recently:
"Genes blamed for the fickle female orgasm". This was about a British
study into women's ability to climax ... or not. June has been a hot,
steamy month, and sex is fun. But underlying the innuendo are serious
questions about female sexuality that have perplexed sexologists for
decades and caused women a great deal of confusion about their bodies.
