When one’s thoughts are captivated by love, romance, and fun between the sheets, it can be a little off-putting to let thoughts of science invade the moment. A team of Canadian scientists suggests otherwise, however. They’ve recently published the findings of a study they conducted that pairs science and female erogenous zones. Knowing what they know may even add a new passionate dimension to one’s amorous encounters.
The research team — four male doctors — expects the information on multi-sensory detection revealed in the study could lead to improved surgical and medical standards for treating women for a variety of conditions. Specifically mentioned in the introduction to their study are aging, sexual function, surgeries involving the breasts and genitals, and treatment of diseases affecting the genitalia.
Thirty healthy women, 18 to 35 years old, volunteered for the study. Each woman undressed and lied down on a sheet-draped exam table. Scientific instruments were calibrated to deliver various forms of controlled touch — light touch, pressure, vibration — to many parts of each woman’s body. Some parts seem obvious but others maybe not so much. Each zone was stimulated for 1.5 seconds and, after five seconds passed, the women were asked if they felt anything.
The body parts under study were categorized as:
Different parts responded differently to different touches:
Different responses by zone include:
The four doctors conducting the experiment acknowledge their findings will be put to clinical use. How the rest of us use their findings is nobody’s business but our own.
