性爱的最高境界莫过于达到性高潮,可是据统计,美国大约有四分之一的妇女难以达到性高潮;科学家认为,如果能找到女人高潮之谜,或许可以拯救这些无法达到高潮的妇女。9 X: c( l; `& T) [# U' E; F

这项研究邀请多名女性自愿者参与,在她们躺在核磁共振扫描器时,并与性伴侣调情到性高潮,而从脑部扫描出的照片显示,当她们达到高潮时,脑部的「眼窝额皮质」就会呈现关闭。 6 V% g4 Q8 d. H; w 9 N, a( o) U5 s( W5 g2 r研究人员乔治艾迪斯(Janniko Georgiadis)指出,当人们描述高潮的感觉,多以「失去控制」来形容,从电脑扫描照片来看,性高潮会改变人的意识状态。 研究人员认为,也许让性冷感的妇女观察自己脑部变化,再经由一些「训练」,控制脑部的「眼窝额皮质」放轻松,就能享受未曾经历的快感。 2 E7 l n: R6 ~4 i! S0 O
