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。 3 w2 D) s& O% H8 c: V4 g4 ]5 h2 {1 ^+ x% u# V: g9 F& z
荷兰格罗宁根大学(the University of Groningen)的研究发现,当女人达到性高潮时,大脑有个区域──叫做「眼窝额皮质」(orbitofrontal cortex或OFC)就进入「关闭」状态,而使女人欲仙欲死。5 [) M8 B8 Q6 @8 M9 r5 T7 K

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。 1 k0 @' C |6 `9 P+ R6 J. ]+ `: m: G, G/ ~! Q/ \& H
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。 : ]; a1 l- y8 X8 A% \. H1 O/ R' ^ 4 Y ]! V" ~/ G+ P( T0 X0 H ' k3 g; b5 w2 h6 @% |. s/ z! T% ?" _3 l( K2 ~* P
