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.

This totally surprised me:

Other differing brain patterns between the sexes suggested that men respond differently to having their genitals stimulated. Men appeared to want to rationalise the experience by interpreting its importance, while women merely enjoyed the sensation.

Wild. Wouldn't you think it would be the opposite, given the way men and women are generally socialized?

Yes... that's an interesting point!

I wonder if the rationalization part would not happen if they weren't being studied...
