Are you for real?

Well, sometimes it takes science to discover. This article raised my eyebrows today, if not for the subject matter, but by the means the subject matter was being tested. What have we learned from this very interesting study?

1. Women are really good at faking it when asked to.
2. Men cannot tell the difference in general.
3. Fear and emotion centers of the brain are deactivated when a woman has an orgasm (makes sense).
4. Part of the cortex (part of the brain involved in consciousness is also deactivated).

So we can conclude that when women want to, they can fake it, and men can't tell the difference. We already knew that. But when an orgasm is real, fear and emotion are turned off as well as consciousness. So essentially, when a woman is having an orgasm, she is out of her right mind.

I think that the thought that Felumpfus brought up is even more amusing - the picture of "participating" in this study while having all sorts of wires and stuff attached to you. What could possibly go wrong?
