Method To Repair Damaged Adult Nerves Discovered
An anonymous reader writes "Researchers have discovered a promising method to regrow damaged nerves in adults. Brain and spinal-cord injuries typically leave people with permanent impairment because the injured nerve fibers (axons) cannot regrow. A study from Harvard and Carleton University, published in the December 10 issue of the journal Neuron, shows that axons can regenerate vigorously in a mouse model when a gene that suppresses natural growth factors is deleted. Here is the journal article (subscription required to view more than the abstract)."
Poor you for thinking I was being humorous about this. I t is a well documented fact that sexual activity , especially any involving direct stimulation of the clitoris in the woman, ( some even the g-spot) tend to release endorphins that help mask the pain, in men, this can also be observed when a man watches a porno, as men are more visual then women (don't know why...) they to tend to release endorphins, being able to even trigger an orgasm just by watching.
I have taken quite a few sex-ed classes in university, especially following the works of such as Masters and Johnson link here.
I take slight insult to your stab at me, however, your ignorance that such a field of expertise exists would let me pardon you for such a blunder.
ps - if you must know, the orgasmic kama sutra practice of finding a constant state of arousal
and even sometimes release, is based on oxygen manipulation as well as constant endorphin agitation. Both of these end up creating the "vibe" needed to get release....however, once the release has been obtained, the state quickly dissipates and would therefor not be practical to actually go to the point of orgasm, merely right before it, if you wanted to try and see what sort of pain killing properties sexual meditation has.
just my 2.5 cents
