What goes on woman's brain when she has an orgasm

Scientists claim to have finally revealed what goes on inside a woman's brain when she has an orgasm -- sexual arousal numbs female nervous system to such an extent that she doesn't feel as much pain, only pleasure.

Using a scan, an international team, led by Rutgers University, has also found that the orgasm affects up to 30 different parts of the brain including those responsible for emotion, touch, joy, satisfaction and memory.

The scientists hope to be able to map what typically happens inside a woman's brain when she has an orgasm – this could enable them to pinpoint what is going wrong among those with problems of sexual dysfunction or low libido.

They also want to build up a similar picture for men so they can compare how the sensation affects the male and female brains, the 'Daily Mail' reported.

Evidence suggests women experience longer orgasms than men, and can have several in quick succession. A woman's orgasm last an average of 10-15 seconds, while a man's is thought to last for just six seconds.
