据估计，过去一年里全美有四分之一的女性很难获得性高潮，5%-10%的女性感受不到性快感，或者根本就不能达到性高潮。
Speaking to New Scientist magazine, researcher Janniko Georgiadis said the OFC may be the basis for "sexual control", and that by "letting go" women can induce orgasm.
研究员贾尼科 吉尔吉厄迪斯在接受《新科学家》杂志采访时称，大脑的眼窝前额皮质或许是控制人类性高潮的区域，只要女性能让这一区域“全情投入”，她们就能获得性高潮。
He said: "I don't think orgasm turns off consciousness but it changes it. When you ask people how they perceive their orgasm, they describe a feeling of a loss of control. I'm not sure if this altered state is necessary to achieve more pleasure or is just some side effect."
他说：“我认为性高潮并没有使人丧失意识，而是改变了人的意识。如果你要某人描述到达性高潮时的感受，他们往往会有一种失控的感觉。当然我并不确定这种特殊的意识状态能使人获得更多快感，还是仅仅是某种副作用。”
To create the scans, Dutch researchers strapped the women into an MRI scanner and then allowed their partners to pleasure them to orgasm, all the while taking snapshots of their brain activity.
为了了解女性高潮时大脑的状态，研究人员将参与实验的女性置于核磁共振扫描仪内，并让她们的伴侣助其达到性高潮，然后扫描她们脑部的活动情况。
