Watching porn seems like an
activity that would stimulate your brain, doesn't it? But new research says
that looking at erotic films may actually make a part of the brain that
processes visual stimuli be less active
The brain can either be
anxious or aroused, Gert
Holstege, a researcher and uroneurologist
at the University of Groningen Medical Center in the Netherlands says, but it
can't be both. During orgasm, he found activity in brain regions associated
with anxiety plummets. He says that may also explain why women who have high
levels of anxiety often have low sexual desire.
It makes sense. If you're using
your eyes to scan for visual signs for danger, you rarely feel sexually
aroused. To Holstege, the results of
his research suggest that when the brain is focusing on sexual arousal it calms the part of the brain that processes the visuals in porn. And that's more important to female arousal. Read more about the story on Huffington Post.com.
