Well, maybe just for British people.

The BBC reports on a fascinating study of sexual satisfaction, deception, and big, ugly brain scans. With socks.

This is the pinnacle of every nerd’s erotic dreamland, isn’t it?

When they gave the couples socks to wear, about 80% of the couples were able to achieve orgasm compared with 50% previously in this staged environment.

So, that’s the secret of sex, is it?

Not so fast: what the researchers were actually researching was the differences in brain activation between fake and real female orgasms. And they found out how to tell the two brain scans apart. So, now you’ll always know if she’s faking.

Supah; there’s absolutely no market for this information, is there? Think about it.

Here’s a hint: if you force her to hook up to a big brain scanner prior to having sex, she’s never gonna have a real orgasm, no matter how many socks you put on her.
