OF SEX erage, 120 million spermcells are transported out of the penis in a lightning flash. Boom! Just like that. Climax City This is the part you have been waiting for. The orgasm. I bet you didn’t know that the activity in the lateral orbitofrontal cortex located behind the left eye (which facilitates emotion regulation and decision making) disappears when women orgasm. Pretty weird, huh? Since this region is connected to our ability to self-evaluate, its brief disappearance enables women to relax more and focus on what’s going on in bed rather than what’s happening in the mirror. This is a plus for all of you out there, both men and women! Sensual Tootsies Many men and women experience contractions in their toes when they climax. Theory suggests that this could be as a result of the fact that toes and genitalia are neighbours in the brain, giving a neurological insight to the toe-orgasm association - as well as the existence of foot fetishes, of course. At least we now know the reason some of you have these! Sex Boosting Grub Just to entice you a little more, we researched various aphrodisiacs (foods for a better sex life) to stimulate your arousal and get that blood pumping! Bon appetit you naughty little devils! Guys, listen up. This one’s for you. Do you long for easier arousal when getting down and dirty in the bedroom? Then put your worries aside right now. Arginine, an animo acid, is the basis for Viagra, so stick with foods full of this — such as oysters, fish, and other lean proteins. Your girlfriend or boyfriend (or ‘fuck buddy’ - however you wish to l a b e l them) will feel like Ch r i s t m a s came early! Some might claim “everything that’s good for you above the waist is good for you bel ow the waist!” You know what to do, guys. And as for all you girls out there, if you want your sexy time to go the extra mile, fuel yourself up just as you would before playing sports. Eating a banana will help prolong the endurance of your monkey business. Bananas contain B vitamins, which are a real gem for converting carbohydrates into energy and are even believed to help stimulate sex hormones such as testosterone. So, get munching girls and have fun! 23
