On orgasms, epilepsy, and the lack of sexual neuroscience

Boing Boing reader Laura says,

The O'Reilly Mind Hacks blog frequently posts cool neuroscience links, but this one describing research on the neuroscience of the orgasm was especially interesting. They discuss, among other things, a Dutch study on the male orgasm using PET scans: "[T]hey asked couples to practice at home. The participant's partner (who had the more difficult task by far) needed to be be able to make her partner ejaculate – while he was standing, being injected by radiation, watched by neuroscientists and, most importantly, during a precise 50 second time-slot. With all credit to the women involved, 8 ejaculations were recorded from the eleven men who volunteered."
