Exactly what happens in a man's brain during SEX

[CharlieH]

 

It's something that many women have wondered during passionate romps. 

What exactly is going on in a man's brain during sex? 

Now, scientists may finally have the answer after analysing the brain activity of mice as they mate.

 

Their analysis shows that an 'intricate dance' involving two chemicals goes on in the male brain during sex. 

And it's this dance that controls the progression of sex, leading up to ejaculation. 

 

While this study only involved mice, the researchers point out that the brain regions and neurotransmitter systems involved in sexual function are similar in men. 

And in the future, the findings could pave the way for a treatment for men with premature ejaculation.

'I believe our study has opened the door to the development of clinical treatments,' said Ai Miyasaka, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Tsukuba in Japan and first author of the study. 

 

While sexual behaviour has been widely studied before, until now, most research has focused on the initiation of sex. 

However, what happens in the brain during other phases has remained a mystery until now. 

This includes mounting, the insertion of the penis into the vagina, and ejaculation. 

 

'Sexual behavior is a complex sequence of events,' explained senior author Qinghua Liu of the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing. 

In their new study, the researchers studied the brain activity of male mice throughout the entire series of actions involved in sex. 

The team injected fluorescent sensors into the nucleus accumbens - the region of the brain that plays a role in reward. 

An optic fiber would light up if the brain released dopamine - a chemical often associated with pleasure - and acetylcholine - a neurotransmitter known to regulate dopamine. 

 

The results revealed an intricate dance between the two chemicals at every stage.

Prior to mounting, the male mouse brains started to release acetylcholine 'rhythmically'. 

About six seconds later, the brain also began releasing dopamine. 

Then, when the male inserted his penis into a female mouse's vagina, the release of acetylcholine and dopamine fluctuated in time with the mouse's thrusting movements. 

Finally, for the males that reached ejaculation, the dopamine release slowed down significantly before quickly rising during the transition to ejaculation. 

 

Mice and humans have different sexual behaviours, but their brain regions and neurotransmitters might be similar, according to the researchers.

They suggest that this research could provide new clues to treating sexual dysfunction, particularly premature ejaculation, which affects 20 per cent to 30 per cent of sexually active men. 

'We anticipate that our findings will be a starting point for more sophisticated studies into the molecular and neural mechanisms that govern ejaculation timing and the potential development of new therapeutics for sexual dysfunctions in humans,' they concluded in their study, published in the journal Neuron.

Lets hurry up so i can watch the football

What happens in a man's brain during sex, depends how drunk he is

A good-looking woman picked up in a bar will no doubt be a bush pig in the morning

[Cameroni]

Finally a mouse experiment I can get onboard with.

I wonder how many think or pretend it's someone else.! 😀

I have always been opposed to medical testing on animals.

ask bob what exactly happens in TWO men's brains during sex

If it can be done in mice, if it can be done safely why not do it in men, then we can have a of Mice and Men story.

This study is Pseudo Science (TM) ... the real answer is nothing happens in the brain ...
“Men have a brain and a penis and only enough blood to run one at a time"

Eaxctly. Which brain? The big one or the small one?

 

The Big One Says: Ewwww look at the skank.

The small one says: Shes licking her lips and looking at you, have another beer.

Big One: Wait, I dont want to catch something.

Small one: Shots arent painful, have another beer.

I'm not talking not about one man's two brains, but about TWO MEN's brains during sex. It's about bob, remember?

The little head does the thinking for the big head and his wallet is open.

I can't tell you what happens to a man's brain during sex - but I can tell you what happens to a woman's face at the end of it!

Nobody knows, EXACTLY....obviously.

 

But if you wish to know more about this Topic, then I would suggest you read...ISAACSON's book....

 

 

Sawadee Krap.....

 

Note: Ultimately, and NOT anticlimactically, Elon, with his links to the brain, and YOUR brain, too, will know far more than anyone on TV...concerning....

the question posed in this Topic.

 

You can count on it.

 

In the near future, probably within a very few years, SEX will be a thing conducted by only ONE person, and not TWO.

 

I have been reading the research.

And this is the way things are progressing.

 

I will add the research links when I have time...

Thank you.

The brain, at that moment, is telling you to eat marmite right now.

WAIT....!!!!

 

Is this the LOUNGE?

Really? The super tiny discount huh? The old reverse thank god I found this one so I dont wear it out for later?

 

Waiy, Lets see..if it is 3 inches, 3 minutes, 3000 baht usually, how do we do the negative?

This is ....SCIENCE.....

 

And, this is cumming to you....soon.

 

In fact, quite an interesting presentation by ELON...so....just click on the link I left above...and....

Enjoy....

Scientists found that already out in the 70's:

Actually, the 1950s and 1960s is more accurate:

 

Here is FEYNMAN finding it out at CalTech, obviously....

 

When men have sex, mostly, they just do Physics in their heads...in order to not....

Release before the woman is satisfied.

 

I mean, NOT I...but....

 

MOST guys on TV, IMHO.

 

Tell me if I am not mistaken....

I actually prefer sex with three people participating,two girls and me.

Not because i am selfish but it is to accommodate the girls,when i fall asleep right after i am done they can cuddle and have some one to talk to.
