Understanding the neuroscience of orgasm can help us get insights into human sexuality and the development of new treatments for sexual dysfunction and other related conditions. Sexual pleasure is a cognitive experience based on the reciprocal relationship between bodily physiology and nervous system function That is, specific brain activity stimulates physiological responses in the genital system that in turn generates sensory nerve feedback to the brain, whose neurons generate pleasure. The brain’s limbic system, which governs emotion, interacts closely with the hypothalamus and autonomic nervous system to prepare the body for sexual climax Far from being a simple issue of hormones, sexual desire and orgasm are subject to various influences on the brain and nervous system, which controls the sex glands and genitals.
