What happens in the female brain during orgasm? It's more fascinating than we thought...

Female orgasms are more complex and last significantly longer than male orgasms, according to research from Rutgers University. While male orgasms typically last around six seconds, female orgasms can extend between 10 to 15 seconds, with women also capable of experiencing multiple orgasms in a short period.

During the experience, the female brain engages approximately 30 different areas. Two minutes prior to orgasm, brain activity increases in regions normally associated with consuming food and drink. Immediately before orgasm, heightened activity is observed in areas processing sensory information and relaying signals throughout the body.

Female orgasm triggers strong reactions that include the brain and the entire body

As orgasm begins, brain regions responsible for emotions and feelings become active. The hypothalamus, a control center for regulating body temperature, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, is the last part of the brain to activate. Scientists note that the female orgasm triggers strong reactions involving both the brain and the entire body.

Research using MRI scanners has revealed that women require between five and twenty minutes of masturbation to reach orgasm. The study also found that sexual intercourse can temporarily 'freeze' the female nervous system, making women unable to feel pain and solely focused on pleasure during the act.
