SEX: WHY IT MAKES WOMEN FALL IN LOVE - BUT JUST MAKES MEN WANT MORE!
- Sex is one of our biggest preoccupations — causing thrills, heartache and downright confusion. But until recently, exactly what happens in the brain during sex was something of a mystery to scientists.
Now, however, American researchers have uncovered what goes on in a woman's head during an orgasm.
The scientists from Rutgers University, New Jersey, used scans to monitor women's brains during orgasm and found that different brain parts are activated when various parts of her body are aroused.
Scientists used scans to monitor women's brains during orgasm and found that different brain parts are activated when various parts of her body are aroused.
They found that up to 30 different parts of the brain are activated, including those responsible for emotion, touch, joy, satisfaction and memory.
The scientists also discovered that sexual arousal numbs the female nervous system to such an extent that a woman doesn't feel as much pain — only pleasure. The team now hopes to map what happens in a man's brain during orgasm.
WHY LOVE HURTS?
A key hormone released during sex is oxytocin, also known as the 'cuddle hormone'. This lowers our defences and makes us trust people more, says Dr Arun Ghosh, a GP specialising in sexual health at the Spire Liverpool Hospital.
It's also the key to bonding, as it increases levels of empathy. Women produce more of this hormone, although it's not clear why, and this means they are more likely to let their guard down and fall in love with a man after sex.
Men, on the other hand, instead of getting a surge of bonding hormone receive a surge of simple pleasure.
'The problem is that when a man has an orgasm, the main hormone released is dopamine — the pleasure hormone. And this surge can be addictive,' says Dr Ghosh.
That's why so many more men tend to suffer from sex addiction.
