Footage Of A Female Brain During Orgasm
A video of the female brain as it approaches, experiences and recovers from an orgasm. Watch as the body’s most complex organ goes from a quiet red to a scorching hot yellow-white, as synapses fire and oxygen levels change. Fireworks!
The Guardian reports that the clip was pieced together using images from a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The lady in question, Nan Wise, 54-year-old PhD student and sex therapist, laid down in the scanner and stimulated herself. “It’s my dissertation,” Wise told the Guardian. “I’m committed to it.”

Why cover up something so natural and beautiful when the world has more obscenity running around that’s normal according to societies views. It’s just a naked body. The way we came into this world. The same as any other nude body. Some parts longer, larger, bigger than others, but in the end they all do just about the same thing. So love it, cherish it, take care of it, because one day you aren’t going to have it, since in reality it is just a shell our souls inhabit.

Where does the myth of a gene for things like intelligence come from?
There’s a widespread assumption that people’s mental and physical attributes are predictable from their genes. So where does this belief come from, and is it wrong?
People’s understanding of genetic effects is heavily influenced by the way genetics is taught in schools. Mendel and his wrinkly and smooth peas make a nice introduction to genetic transmission, but the downside is that we go away with the idea that genes have an all-or-nothing effect on a binary trait. Some characteristics are inherited this way (more or less), and they tend to be the ones that textbooks focus on: for example eye colour, colour-blindness, Huntington’s disease. But most genetic effects are far more subtle and complex than this. Take height, for instance. Genes are important in determining how tall you are, but this is not down to one gene: instead, there is a host of genes, each of which nudges height up or down by a small amount.
Furthermore, genetic influences may interact in complicated ways. For instance, coat colour in mice is affected by combinations of genes, so that one cannot predict whether a mouse is black, white or agouti (mouse coloured!) just by knowing the status of one gene. The expression of a gene may also depend crucially on the environment; for instance, obesity relates both to calorie intake and genetic predisposition, but the effects are not just additive: some people can eat a great deal without gaining weight, whereas in others, body mass depends substantially on food intake. And a genetic predisposition to obesity can be counteracted by exercise.
This means that we get a very different impression of the strength of genetic influences on a trait if we look at the impact of a person’s whole genome, compared with looking at individual genes in isolation.
How to Have More Energy
What are the most common causes of feeling flat and lethargic?
Distraction and lack of direction in life- Often people carry around so many tasks in their mind that they think they have to do, should have done, could do etc. The mental energy expended just thinking about this never ending to do list can leave you feeling drained, lethargic and completely overwhelmed. In today’s fast paced world it is essential we learn how to delegate and not try to take responsibility for everything. I suggest putting this imaginary list on paper, reviewing it and then separate what only you can do from what you know you can give to someone else to do. Once you have done this you will not feel as overwhelmed and immediately more motivated.
To paraphrase David Thoreau, most people are living quiet lives of desperation, not invigorating lives of inspiration- not doing what they love nor loving what they do. They aren’t grateful so they are putting on the brakes in life and lacking the energy and vitality to live. The body and mind are inseparable in their interactions. We need to be accountable for how our psychology may be affecting our overall health.
Do we lose our energy as we age? If so, why?
I have come to the conclusion that the level of energy one has in life is not so much connected to age or race as it is to state of mind. Naturally when someone is coming to the end of their life and may be more susceptible to disease, they may not have the same reservoir of energy and vitality as someone in their middle ages. But I have seen human dynamos at age 94 to 99 still out do people half their age. The difference was their attitude and zest for life. They found what they loved to do and they do it.
More cool body art. So colourful.
Awesome tatt. And the bunny ears are a bonus :-P
