Oh! Look what day it is

Sex rarely makes the news in Brazil's conservative north-east - until a small town declared an official Orgasm Day.

Espertantina Mayor Felipe Santolia endorsed the May 9 holiday, which he said was intended to improve relationships between married couples.

"We're celebrating orgasm in all its senses. There's even a panel discussion on premature ejaculation. But from what I've seen, women have more trouble achieving orgasm than men, especially in marriage," Santolia said.

Santolia said the remote town of 38,000 people has been unofficially celebrating orgasm day for years, but the town's former mayor had vetoed a bill making it an official municipal holiday.

The city council passed a law Saturday creating the holiday. Santolia, who took office earlier this year, said he would sign the bill today.

"I'm 32, single and I have an open mind. Besides the theme is very much of the moment," he said.

Orgasm Day celebrations include a series of panel discussions by sexologists from across Brazil and a presentation of Eve Ensler's play The Vagina Monologues.

Santolia said the idea of celebrating Orgasm Day at first created a scandal in the poor region, known for its religious fervour. But he said gradually residents warmed to the idea.

"I've seen scientific studies that show when a woman is unloved, when her husband can bring her to orgasm, it affects all aspects of her life, her relationships with her children, at home, with the city and at work," Santolia said.

I knew I should have been born in brazil....

[Thorngrub]

Orgasm day.

Now that's a holiday I can rally behind.

[mellie]

True though! Theres nothing a good orgasm cant make a woman do. It eminates and spreads into every aspect of your life. Same as anything that would make someone that happy I Think..

[maarts]

Seems to me that those Brazilians rather talk orgasms than experience them...but then having said that, look at how many people are living there....
Wonder if the hookers there had half price deals during that day?

I'm sure the Catholic Church wouldn't have been 'muy impressed'.

[mellie]

Guess it just goes to show that there are a lot of Catholics who like to be rebels??? lol

Most of a woman's brain just shuts down during an orgasm

June 28, 2005 - 3:40PM


Most of a woman's brain shuts down when she has an orgasm, a team led by a Dutch neuroscientist has found by using brain scans.

"The main thing we saw in females is deactivation of the brain, which was unbelievable; really very pronounced," Gert Holstege from the University of Groningen in the north of the country said, "What you see is deactivation of large parts of the brain, especially the emotional brain, the fear centres," he said.

His team recruited volunteer couples to engage in sexual activity while having undergoing a brain scan. Thirteen women and 11 men, aged 19 to 49, took part. They found that the brains of volunteers who simulated orgasm after a period of stimulation remained fully active and in conscious control.

Mr Holstege found that the only part of the brain active during orgasm was the cerebellum, which is linked to the control of movement, although some experts believe it has a role in the emotion.
"If you look at the women who faked orgasm, we see the same kind of thing in the cerebellum taking place, but the cortex, the conscious part of the brain, is also active," he said, , "Women can imitate orgasm quite well, but in the brain it's not the same," he added.

Similar research on the men yielded unsatisfactory results, as the male orgasm is brief, lasting only about 20 seconds. The scans showed that the cerebellum was active in men too. Mr Holstege said he believed men's brains were also largely deactivated, but the results were inconclusive.

There were significant differences between men and women, however. In men, the team found that a primitive part of the brain called the insula was activated. And in women, the hippocampus, the memory part of the brain, was deactivated.

Mr Holstege presented his findings to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Copenhagen. Describing the circumstances of the experiment, he said the volunteers being scanned had to keep their heads still. They did not have intercourse but engaged in other forms of stimulation. "We are neuroscientists, so we're only interested in the brain," he said.

He expressed the hope that the research could lead to treatment for sexual dysfunction.
