JAKARTA – The climax moment is known as the orgasm experience, so the attention of every married couple. The reason is, sexual satisfaction is claimed to affect the welfare and harmony of life in pairs. However, it turns out that not many people know that apart from providing stimulation to sensitive points on the partner's body, there is a secret point that is the key to getting to climax.

A study was conducted by neuroscientist at Northwestern University, Kevin McKenna. Reported by Psychology Today, Monday, December 13, McKenna found a point that needs to be stimulated directly to get satisfaction from the sexual activity of married couples.

In an Archives of Sexual Behavior article cited by David Ludden, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Georgia Gwinnet College, McKenna identifies cells that link stimulation in the genitals and the brain. These cells are called LSt which can cross the threshold to trigger orgasm.

For men who want to please their partners are often told that they need to pay attention to her clitoris. Ludden agrees with this suggestion, because clitoral stimulation is the best approach to reaching climax. While climax in men is claimed to be achieved by providing stimulation to the prostate.

McKenna identification, LSt cells from the spinal cord are part of the nervous system that produces orgasm. Lumbar spinothalamic (LSt) has been proven in his research on ejaculated male mice. In a further study, these cells also occur in female mice during sexual intercourse.

The conclusion of the McKenna study, LSt is responsible for the experience of orgasm, not ejaculation. In addition, his research showed that activation in the spinal cord area coincides with sexual climax in humans, in both males and females.

According to McKenna, sexual climax consists of two components, namely the rhythmic contraction of the pelvic muscles and the subjective experience of intense pleasure. Both trigger LSt cell activity, and in men pelvic contractions are also accompanied by ejaculation.

LSt cells form the central pattern generator (CPG), which is a group of cells in the nervous system that produce rhythmic activity. Some of the CPG activities include breathing, sneezing, or swallowing. LSt cells are also a two-way connection between the genitals and the brain. This finding makes sense, because the climax occurs when experiencing pelvic contractions in the genital area and an intense, brain-based psychological experience.

From the McKenna study, sexual arousal can not only be started from genital stimulation. Ludden added, it can also be started from thinking about sex. The climax, referring to the McKenna study, begins when LSt cell stimulation reaches a certain threshold. Threshold occurs when LSt cells are compelled to emit a signal resulting in rhythmic contraction of the pelvic muscles and intense pleasure in the brain.

McKenna answers about the big question, there is no specific way to trigger a climax in sexual activity. There is no specific spot or even no magic way to guarantee every partner has an orgasm.

But there are two things that are important to note, orgasm and ejaculation can be built through the accumulation of genital sensations and erotic imagination. Touch or thought, which each partner may have different preferences, can push LSt cells over the threshold, triggering orgasm.
