Mary Roach, author of the books Stiff, Spook and Bonk rounded up 10 surprising facts about orgasms. While us ladies spend absurd amounts of time reading articles, trying out new toys and using new fangled ways of fantasizing in order to get more of them consistently—you'll be interested to learn orgasms can biologically happen while dead and not touching your genitals at all. Yeah. Go figure.Chinese Demolish Sex Theme Park

1.) Some Think Babies In The Womb Masturbate: Mary's first orgasmic slide showed pictures of ultrasounds where she pointed out babies grainy hands and how doctors witnessed boys grasping at what would become their penis. She said while in full effect the hand/penis motion was similar to that of masturbating.

2.) Some People Have Reported Orgasms Without Touching Their Genitals At All: This is going to make everyone vomit, but Roach swears she met a woman who says she can "think herself" into having an orgasm. Roach reportedly watched this while interviewing her for a book. While the easiest route to an O-face is, for sure, through the genitals, Mary is quick to point out that arousal is part of the autonomic nervous system (same as breathing, your heart beat) and therefor not something we directly have control over. Indeed, people have reported reaching orgasm by brushing their teeth or in cases of spinal injury victims sometime right above their injury.

3.) Orgasms Happen To Dead People: Or at least they can. If the sacral nerves in the spinal chord (orgasm headquarters as she calls it) are oxygenated and stimulated, then there isn't any reason why a dead person can't climax. There you have it. Now don't try to think too hard about it.

4.) Orgasm Can Cause Bad Breath: Doctors have detected a slight odor on the tongues of women for up to an hour after they've had intercourse. (note to self: throw some gum in your overnight bag)

5.) Orgasm Can Cure Hiccups: This one isn't really surprising, but a man had incurable hiccups that were swiftly cured once he climaxed during sex with his wife.

6.) Doctors Once Thought Orgasm Made Conception More Likely: There was a theory amongst doctors a hundred years ago or so that vaginal contractions help sucked semen up the cervix. It was called "up-suck." However, upon further investigation by the research team Masters and Johnson in the 1950s this up-suck theory was proven to be a bunch of bull. This is going to make you queasy, but they implanted "fake semen" in a woman's cervix and then studied whether or not it traveled farther after orgasm. No such luck.
