Lorraine,
This is depressing and ridiculous. I open my local newspaper to the Lifestyle section and see this heading “STUDY REVEALS HOW TO TELL IF SHE’S FAKING” (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4111360.stm). It goes on to say that researchers (ALL MALE OF COURSE) found that, and I quote, “Parts of the female brain are switched off when a woman is having an orgasm, but remain active if she is faking.”
DUH GEORGE.
Who came up with the idea of this study and what kind of kill joys are they? I think it’s really crossing a line, scientific or otherwise, when money is funded to figure out a female secret ploy that has been used since Eve. How dare they!
And, how will this work exactly in the bedroom? Will men suddenly wheel in a brain scan and attach it to our heads while we’re having sex so they can find out if we’re faking it or not??? And what does it mean when the studies show that in order for a woman to have an orgasm, her BRAIN HAS TO BE DEACTIVATED! Another blow to the male ego I’m sure.
Now, of course, I have never ever ever never never personally faked an orgasm (wink wink nudge nudge). But I know plenty of women who have and they do not need this new device in their lives!
Mary,
I have a very short reply to this: Why do they have to know if the woman is faking? Talk about insecurities -will it make them feel less manly if they know they can’t bring the woman to orgasm? I not, then why ask?
They are only going to make themselves feel bad and have to order more Viagra.
If the woman is faking an orgasm and making the man feel good, why is he complaining? She is the miserable one, again trying to make everything all better, and making her man feel good.
These guys don’t know when they have a good thing going, cause if they roll in the scanning machine they will all find out that they are not all of that, and a bag of chips in the bedroom. What about that old adage - “leave well enough alone” - - as far as a woman’s brain shutting down in order to have an orgasm–yeah, she has to shut down the part that says her partner is an idiot and a jerk if he has any interest in a brain-sex-check scan. That is the only way to get on with it and enjoy herself.
Here’s a brain scan that NO MAN wants to explore - who is your partner fantasizing about???
Let me give you the big clue pal, IT AIN’T YOU. If these men are in so much denial that they think it’s otherwise, that’ll show them not to mess with the inner neurons of our heads - -bring on those scanning machines and give up your hard-ons.
One more comment on the brain scan - if they thought there were a lot of “jumpers” after the stock market crashed, bring on the “orgasmic meter” and don’t walk under any tall buildings, cause once these men find out there could be some fakin’ goin’ on it may be raining “Macho Macho men”.
Can you imagine the deflated egos: “Oh yeah baby, you’re the best - this is sooooo great - don’t stop” - blah blah blah.
Just pair the orgasmic meter/scan up with the B.S. meter and now we’re talkin’!!
Wait ’til we have to tell them that most of our excitement during sex is actually because we are fantasizing about that great pair of pumps at Nordstroms–and how we talk dirty to get it over with quick so we can hop in the car and shop.
But hey - I guess for them ignorance isn’t bliss. It should be and they can go on thinking that they are the Masters of their Sexual Domain. Pitiful.
