“…Furthermore, another problem with trying to use brain imaging during sexual arousal from specific organ stimulations is that there is no consensus as to which sites in the brain are activated, inhibited or remain unresponsive. Georgiadis () obtains quite different results than those of Komisaruk and Whipple () in relation to whether the frontal and temporal critical regions become activated (Komisaruk and Whipple, ) using fMRI or deactivated (Georgiadis, ) using PET scanning; opinions are split and it is not possible at present to make a definitive decision as to which description is the most accurate (Jannini et al, ). Another problem is that the brain site of representation of the clitoris is different in the studies of brain imaging by Georgiadis et al () with that of Komisaruk et al ().…”

Stimulating the clitoris activates the brain to instigate changes in the female genital tract, namely, the enhancement of vaginal blood flow that increases vaginal luminal pO2, vaginal transudate (lubrication) facilitating painless penile penetration and partial neutralization of the basal luminal acidic pH, vaginal tenting, and ballooning delaying sperm transport and allowing semen de‐coagulation and capacitation (sperm activation) factors to act until arousal ends (often by orgasm induction). All these genital changes taken together are of major importance in facilitating the possibility of reproductive success (and thus gene propagation) no matter how or when the clitoris is stimulated—they reveal its overlooked reproductive function. Of course, also commensurate with these changes, is its activation of sexual pleasure. The clitoris thus has both procreative (reproductive) and recreative (pleasure) functions of equal importance. Clitoridectomy creates not only sexual disability but also a reproductive disability. Clin. Anat. 32:136–145, 2019. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Tantric practices involving orgasmic movements of subtle energy can foster experiences of transformative transcendence and spiritual bliss (Barratt, 2019). Western research into the neurological and subjective impact of orgasms has charted the neural bases of orgasm (Jannini et al, 2018), developed a scale to measure intensity (Elfers, 2019), has revealed that orgasms in some circumstances are unpleasant rather than blissful (Chadwick et al, 2019) and suggests spiritual experiences are common outcomes of extended sexual orgasms (Costa et al, 2017(Costa et al, , 2016a(Costa et al, , 2016bSayin, 2019aSayin, , 2019bSayin, , 2019cSayin, , 2017aSayin, , 2017bSayin, , 2011Sayin and Schenk, 2019;Tracy's Dog, 2019;Wise et al, 2017).…”

The plethora of technologies offering to match us up with our perfect partners, or to provide us with the ultimate sexual high, evidences our unfulfilled need for sexual and emotional companionship and fulfilment, together with the difficulties of embodying our fantasies in this arena. Sentient, self-aware sex robots [henceforth, sexbots] customised as companions to cater for our unique individual intimacy needs through deep learning capabilities will be designed to provide us with both. They will revolutionise our sexual, emotional and spiritual intimate and domestic lives. Implications of this transformation for hopes of a harmonious future where humans, post-Singularity intelligent robots, sexbots and all other sentient beings can flourish are explored. With the greatest respect, tentative suggestions for ways forward drawing on Tibetan Buddhism and the Tantric tradition are offered in order to foster a post-Singularity future where all sentient beings, including super-compassionate superintelligent robots, sexbots, humans and nonhuman animals, can flourish.

“…La amígdala proporciona el componente emocional al orgasmo y, además, conjuntamente con el hipotálamo posterior activa al sistema nervioso autónomo, que induce el aumento de la frecuencia cardíaca y del flujo sanguíneo, característicos del orgasmo. Sin embargo, el hipocampo es el responsable del papel de la fantasía en el orgasmo, mientras que el núcleo paraventral del hipotálamo es indispensable para la liberación de oxitocina y la eyaculación (Jannini et al, 2018).…”

“…El cerebelo también se activa, tanto en el orgasmo de la hembra como del varón, incrementando la tensión muscular, Por otra parte, la corteza de la cíngula se activa fuertemente en el orgasmo y presenta dos funciones importantes: una simulación para activar el sistema nervioso autónomo y, además, generar los sentimientos intensos del orgasmo (Jannini et al, 2018).…”

La respuesta sexual se encuentra mediada por factores anatomo-hormono-neuro-vasculoendoteliales. Ha sido explicada a través de varios modelos como el tetrafásico (Masters y Johnson, 1966), el trifásico (Kaplan, 1979), y el pentafásico (Bancroft, 1983), entre otros. El orgasmo se ubica como una de estas fases en estos modelos. Éste se define como un conjunto de sensaciones corporales sumamente placenteras y de excitación intensa, que libera tensiones y que produce satisfacción. Existen pocas diferencias entre el orgasmo del varón y de la hembra; desde un punto de vista funcional, el orgasmo del varón está estrechamente relacionado con la eyaculación, mientras que en la hembra no existe una conexión tan obvia y directa. En este estudio se recopilaron las semejanzas y diferencias presentes en el orgasmo del varón y de la hembra, referidas a los fundamentos anatómicos, fisiológicos, neuroendocrinos, neurológicos, psicológicos, socioculturales y espirituales.
