YOGYAKARTA The mind has the power to control the body, both consciously and unconsciously. But can the power of the mind without physical stimulation be able to encourage orgasm? Without having sex or intimidating and being able to feel orgasm, it turns out not to be far-fetched.

Orgasm is the culmination of various physiological and cognitive processes. When a person is aroused, they experience increased pleasure through the release of neurotransmitters and hormones. As pleasure increases, there is a considerable physiological change. Such as increased heart rate, sweating, faster breathing, and contracting various muscles. According to the author of Subjectified: Becoming a Sexual Subject, Suzannah Weiss, orgasm is a response to a combination of physical and mental stimuli. The difference is, orgasm without physical touch is driven by mental stimulation.

Physical nuances through promocation, or sexual intercourse, trigger the most common sexual arousal. But if you've had a wet dream, you'll know that orgasm doesn't have to be through promulgation or sexual intercourse. Launching Mens Health, Monday, October 21, a clear mental picture works in a way similar to physical touch, because our brains can struggle to distinguish between imagination and reality.

"Usually, touch is a stick that drives an orchestra, but your brain can be the conductor itself. If the brain can cause stress, the brain can also cause pleasure for oneself," said Emily May, PhD, AASECT certified sex therapist.

Sex and relationship coach Catherine Drysdale explained, researchers equate the car's gas pedal with the sexual excitation and brake system as an obstacle to the system. There are many factors that can stop us, added Dryscale. These include body imagery, cultural factors, past trauma, and how safe or valuable we are to express ourselves. Other disorders include room lighting, thoughts filled with tasks, or performance anxiety.

Sex therapist and certified sexologist Holly Wood said scientific research on the topic was very limited. But some small studies reported cases of orgasm triggered purely by the power of mind. The study was conducted in 2022, about a woman who developed the ability to experience and control orgasm without any genital stimulation. Researchers measure her hormonal response, including prolactin and luteinization. Researchers do not believe, there are changes in prolactin levels and physiological and hormonal markers that mark orgasm.

Female participants who took part in the research above reported that they had experienced vaginism, weak pelvis, and self-image problems. Then he practiced a number of methods, through yoga practice, basic hip training, awareness, and routine breathing exercises.

Another interesting fact is that they [researchers] use neuroimaging to observe which brain centers are going to be active and they [researchers] find that just by thinking about certain body parts, the corresponding sensory maps will be activated inside the brain's sohalensori section. This may indicate the strength of attention and focus of the mind to activate sensory pathways that can facilitate passion and orgasm with the right focus, "explained sexologist Megwyn White.

Wood closes as a suggestion that this phenomenon is interesting even though its scientific understanding is still limited. This means that more research is needed to validate and explore more deeply. In addition, the ability to have an orgasm with a mental force without physical stimulation should not be considered as a substitute for a common sexual experience as a benchmark for sexual health.
