This study seems to suggest that women who are willing and able to get off inside an MRI tube have more intense orgasms than dudes - but does it automatically follow that this is true for women as a rule? ---

That is the BEST rationale for masturbation porn that I’ve ever heard. ---

I love the last statements about the evidence showing that women can experience multiple orgasms, and possibly a short time apart. Um. Yes, again, we knew that, but I guess it’s nice to have science to prove it! I also kept mentally correcting the name to Komisarek, and kept giggling at the thought of [this grin](http://ourhistory.canadiens.com/media/bb99efd87ee4def4/small/Komisarek_Mike_1.jpg) while the study subjects were being tested… (hockey player, in case anyone was wondering!) ---

> [@](#): > > “In one experiment we asked women to self-stimulate and then raise their hands each time they orgasmed. Some women raised their hands several times each session, often just a few seconds apart,” Wait, if they’re a even just a “few seconds” apart, it’s considered a _different_ orgasm? Hmm…I think I need to update my resume. ---

So if I, um… spurt, two or three times, it might be that I’m experiencing multiple orgasms? ---

Okay in an MRI machine but how about in one of the new airport see everything security scanners? Let’s see some studies on that. ---

When is my nail appointment tomorrow? Mmmmm! When was my last Depo shot? Can we try another position? What does my hair look like right now? Do you think I am pretty? OH GOD THAT FELT GOOD!! My last boyfriend looked happier when he fucked me. Why didn’t I get nicer sheets?.. Probably because they would look and feel the same in the morning. Does he think I’m fat? Why didn’t he notice my new nail polish. OMGOMGOMG!!!:eek::eek::eek: Why can’t we do this instead of Golfing I think you have gained weight. I hate when the pillow does that!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. This tells us more about women who are willing and able to orgasm in an MRI, than it does about women in general. Conventional wisdom would suggest that a larger pool of male subjects would be available, but I don’t know. ---

As the old joke goes… A woman’s ideal date: Flowers, poetry, wine, music, fancy dinner, sinful dessert, romantic movie, nightcap, sensuous massage, etc. A man’s ideal date: A naked woman. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-mri-or-mine-women-orgasm-for-science/560369.md?page=1)
