Aaaah, distractability

Reaching a proper sexual climax is, for women at least, a mind-blowing event. Large parts of their brains that deal with emotion and fear appear to shut down so that they can enjoy the thrill.

I think I read about this study elsewhere, and if I recall correctly, the problem is that for men, it was 20 seconds between the beginning and the end of the period they identified as "orgasm", and for women, this period was a minute. And, for some mumbletytechnological reason, their neurological snapshots could only effectively occur over a 30-second period -- meaning that their data for men got a lot of junk non-orgasm stuff in it.

Could be wrong, that's just what I remember.
