Who knew ORGASMS can increase BRAINPOWER?!?

If you were asked what gives your brain a better workout - orgasms or doing a crossword puzzle or soduku, what would you answer?

Well...no, surprisingly accordingly to neuroscientist Professor Barry Komisaruk, orgasms give our brains a better workout as "the sensation increases brain activity across the whole organ whereas a puzzle activates only relatively localized regions."

The 72 yr old researcher has been studying female arousal since the `60s and works at Rutgers University in New Jersey, studying women in his laboratory at the university’s Department of Psychology. Initially the professor started his experiments on rats but then moved on to women in the `80s.

Dr. Komisaruk measured the blood flow to his female patient`s brains as they reached orgasm, and says, ‘at orgasm we see a tremendous increase in the blood flow [to the brain]. So my belief is it can’t be bad. It brings all the nutrients and oxygenation to the brain.’

‘Mental exercises increase brain activity but only in relatively localized regions. Orgasm activates the whole,’ he said.

He also claims the orgasm sensations can block out pain. The increased blood flow and oxygen surely plays a role. Now, this can can instrumental in such, of finding out what parts of the human brain produce such intense pleasure and can it be used in some way? As the neuroscientist eluded - ‘What would that do to depression or anxiety or addiction or pain?’

Dr. Komisaruk stands in a unique position in this matter and field as he published the first evidence of brain mapping and regions involved in orgasm in women almost a decade ago.

Very interesting indeed...but begs the question now of what about too much orgasm activity on the brain? Nothing is ever good when done in excess of moderation...nevertheless what a brainteaser.

Only when the heart no more can handle the pain does tears truly fall

The rain falls because the sky can no longer handle its weight. Just like the 'TEARS' fall because the heart can no longer handle the pain.

The power of courage

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.
