Mind Games?

It's a scientific fact: human brains are programmed for orgasms - with or without the actual sex act.

Dr Robert Lomas - a solid-state physicist and an internationally known author on religious symbolism - says that evolution has allowed humans to develop the sex-free orgasm.

"ItÂ’s the same reward mechanism that encourages us to share our DNA," said Dr Lomas. "But it can be achieved without the physical act of copulation."

Only humans have this power to induce mental ecstasy, and itÂ’s a complex set of responses that can be achieved by learned behavioural patterns or triggered by hyper-arousal during peak experiences, he says.

--"Encourages us to share our DNA"--that's a subtle way of putting it.

4 This makes sense. I mean, Barry White encourages us to share our DNA, too, and he always said "it's ecstasy when you lay down next to me." Science!
