"Well, hello science! Earlier this month, researchers from Rutgers University released findings from a recent study all about female orgasms. This X, this X and this X mark the spot. The scientists mapped the &amp;amp;#8220;female erotic brain&amp;amp;#8221; by asking research participants to stimulate themselves while hooked up to an fMRI machine that monitored their brain activity. Time&amp;amp;#8217;s health blog explains that the women &amp;amp;#8220;were instructed to stimulate their clitoris, vagina and cervix, manually or with a sex toy&amp;amp;#133;As a control, researchers also mapped the brain regions activated by sensation from the hand, foot and nipples.&amp;amp;#8221; Researchers then studied the areas of the brain that reflected increased activity during stimulation. Interestingly, nipple stimulation caused activity in the area of the brain that corresponds to the chest as well as the area of the brain fires up when genitals are stimulated. The scientists also discovered that clitoral and vaginal stimulation cause activity in different parts of the brain. And that the part of the brain that corresponds to foot stimulation is &amp;amp;#8220;right next to&amp;amp;#8221; the brain region associated with genital sensation. I&amp;amp;#8217;m quite intrigued with this study; different types of stimulation affect me (and quite a few ladies I know) in vastly different ways. An orgasm brought on by clitoral stimulation makes you feel a certain way while stimulating your G-spot can feel just as lovely but completely different. And don&amp;amp;#8217;t get me started on nipple stimulation. I am not a fan. It can feel erotic, yes, but more than anything I feel like it makes my teeth itch. Is that weird? You can see the very sexy (and totally safe for work!) pictures of erotic brain stimulation here. Dears, what do you make of this study? Do you prefer one type of stimulation or orgasm over the other? Do you like having your nipples touched during sex? Or not so much? P.S. How well does your guy understand your anatomy?
