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。 6 L2 @- L0 ]9 x0 [2 w9 ~- ]5 v. R! B
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。 ) i( H) E: P) u6 ~* O( X, v& ~% A) X2 J& }- G! [
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。 $ Z8 X" G- r* o8 V. ]5 |7 G: M; t, w3 B+ k3 h( B2 Q
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 v! F8 }' ], |) @ 4 y+ j8 H$ `' M7 ?; ~9 o3 U2 l $ l* R) L) \2 `, W. M4 i- e5 ] 5 S% r! b% E& s6 n& b这些核磁共振的影像,显示女性在性高潮时,血液流向大脑的区域。9 x1 r3 d8 ?$ x* Q# t
