Although it is not necessary to have an orgasm to find sex enjoyable, it is certainly a great advantage.
To understand what is happening in a woman's brain when she reaches orgasm, researchers use FMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machines or PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scans. These devices can measure blood flow and neuron activity in the brain.
By studying the brain activity of women who have orgasms, scientists have learned some rather surprising things. What exactly happens in your brain when you have an orgasm?
There is a reason why many women tend to feel bolder and less inhibited during sex: the part responsible for logical and rational reasoning abilities temporarily goes on vacation!
"The lateral orbitofrontal cortex becomes less active during sex. This is the part of the brain that is responsible for reason, decision-making, and value judgments. The deactivation of this part of the brain is also associated with reduced fear and anxiety," as stated by clinical psychologist Daniel Sher.
This shutdown of the lateral orbitofrontal cortex actually makes sense, as fear and anxiety can disrupt arousal and lead to problems such as performance anxiety.
Medical imaging tests suggest that there are multiple spatially remote brain regions involved in the sexual response.
"Researchers have discovered that the sensory cortex (related to the female genital area), motor areas, hypothalamus, thalamus, and substantia nigra (Sommering's black substance) all light up during orgasm," explained cognitive psychologist Kayt Sukel.
The thalamus helps integrate information about touch, movement, and any sexual memory or fantasy that can be brought into play to facilitate orgasm. Meanwhile, the hypothalamus is involved in the production of oxytocin and helps coordinate arousal.
"Motor areas are also involved, because the body moves (hopefully!) during the sexual act and the sensory cortex records touches and movements in the lower regions of the body," added Sukel.
During orgasm, your brain is working overtime to produce a series of different hormones and neurochemicals. One of these is dopamine, a hormone responsible for feelings of pleasure, desire, and motivation.
As Sher explained, dopamine is formed in a part of the brain called the ventral tegmental area and released into other parts such as the nucleus accumbens and the prefrontal cortex.
"Some refer to dopamine as a 'pleasure' chemical, although research has shown that it offers us much more than just a moment. It is really more of a learning chemical, helping to take note of rewards like food and sex, and understand how to get more of them," said Sukel.
Another hormone that the brain produces during orgasm caused by sex or female erotic massage is oxytocin. Secreted by the pituitary gland and released into the hypothalamus. This hormone makes us feel close to others and promotes affection.
"Oxytocin is known as the bonding hormone because it is also released during breastfeeding and is known to facilitate a sense of love and attachment," said Sher.
Prolactin is also released during orgasm and is responsible for that feeling of satisfaction that accompanies orgasm. It is also the main hormone responsible for milk production after pregnancy.
Naturally, the release of oxytocin and prolactin during sex and breastfeeding does not mean that a person experiences the same sensations in both situations.
These hormones can play different roles in our bodies and are part of the way the brain strengthens our social connections.
Surprisingly, the brain does not distinguish much between sex and other pleasurable experiences. The parts of your brain that make you feel good after indulging in a dessert or winning at poker are the same areas that light up during orgasm.
"Sex is experienced as pleasurable, and this is because the reward pathways in our brain are activated during sex or tantra massage for women and lead to orgasm. These are the same networks activated in response to drug use, alcohol consumption, gambling, listening to your favorite song, or when you enjoy a delicious meal," said She.
It's not your imagination - the body is indeed less sensitive to pain during sex.
"When the pituitary gland is activated, the release of endorphins, oxytocin, and vasopressin promotes pain reduction, intimacy, and bonding," said Jess O'Reilly, resident sexologist at Astroglide.
This can help explain why things that might make us flinch in a non-sexual situation, like a slap, a spanking, or hair pulling, are not so painful during sex and can even be pleasurable, very pleasurable.
The reason why some people derive sexual pleasure from the experience of pain could be related to the fact that orgasm and pain actually affect some of the same areas of the brain.
"Many of the areas of the brain (particularly within the cortex) that are responsible for pain are active during orgasm," Sher revealed.
Although the relationship between pain and orgasm is not yet fully understood, some research has shown that vaginal stimulation could actually reduce pain sensitivity in some women.
Once an orgasm has occurred, your brain tends to slow down. But it doesn't go completely out of service.
"In both men and women, orgasm signals the parasympathetic nervous system to start regulating the body (or rather calming) the body. The prefrontal cortex, previously activated leading to orgasm, also becomes down-regulated - and this is linked to increased levels of oxytocin to facilitate attachment," Sher explained.
Sukel added that the brain also produces serotonin after an orgasm. This hormone is known to promote good mood and relaxation. In some people, serotonin can also lead to drowsiness and the desire to curl up for a nap.
All brains experience the release of oxytocin during sex, which is a hormone partly responsible for creating feelings of closeness and bonding. However, women's brains behave slightly differently after orgasm.
"In women, oxytocin tends to continue to be released after orgasm, which might explain the motivation for post-coital cuddling and the desire for attachment to the man after sex," observed Sher.
In people who are unable to experience genital stimulation, the brain might actually readjust to allow them to reach orgasm in other ways.
Although we usually think of orgasm and sexual pleasure as dependent on the stimulation of our genitals, this is not entirely true. In some cases, the brain can create new pleasure pathways that do not involve our sexual organs at all.
"When organs are injured, removed, or traumatized, a sensory remapping can occur that allows us to experience sexual and orgasmic sensations in other parts of the body," O'Rielly explained.
In people who have experienced paralysis of the lower part of the body, for example, the brain might actually rewire itself to allow a person to achieve orgasm through the stimulation of other parts of the body, such as the skin of the arm or nipples.
Orgasms are undoubtedly a good time, but they might also be the brain's sneaky way of getting us to reproduce.
"If you think about it objectively, the idea of risking life and health at birth, which is fundamentally a parasite living in you for nine months, which you will then have to raise for the next decade, is very hard work. Mother Nature, through pleasure and orgasm, might 'trick us' to ensure the species doesn't die out," Sukel said.
Although scientists are not entirely sure why we have orgasms, Sher pointed out that experiencing a moment or two of pure euphoria rewards us, making us desire more sex and more orgasms. Thus, the behavior is self-reinforcing.
In addition to inducing us to reproduce, the sexual pleasure linked to orgasm could also help keep our brain healthy.
"It may also be that, from an evolutionary perspective, since this activity increases blood flow through the brain so intensely, it may have also developed to help keep the brain healthy," Sukel explained.
Research has also suggested that the female orgasm may have played a role in stimulating ovulation, although now ovulation occurs spontaneously and does not depend on sexual activity.
