What is orgasm?
Dr.
Lin has uncovered the mystery of sexual orgasm: The orgasmic
expansion-contraction cycle of the smooth muscles and arteries is driven
by the involuntary sympathetic motoring nerves under the alternative
binding of norepinephrine and epinephrine into the sympathetic nervous
adrenergic β- and α- receptors, as a result of the biological effects on
the receptors exerted by oxytocin and prolactin, respectively. In other
words, orgasm results from alternative activation of the α- and β-
adrenergic receptors in response to the pulsing release of prolactin and
oxytocin from the pituitary gland with an alternative cycle at 0.8
second.
Orgasm
requires continuous erectile function of sex organs during sex.
Erectile function dilates the arteries for more blood circulation and
increases the androgen hormone (testosterone and dihydrotestosterone)
and oxytocin stimulation on the neuromuscular endings in the sex organs,
so that the nervous action potential generated by sexual stimulation
can be amplified to jump above the critical synaptic potential threshold
and can then reach the brain via the vagal, parasympathetic and
sympathetic sensory nerves. Spontaneous erection of sex organs can be
initiated by the cholinergic and parasympathetic nervous action which
facilitate the secondary neurotransmitter NO (nitric oxide) release in
the smoothing muscles of the arteries for the synthesis of vasodilator
cGMP(cyclic guanosine monophosphate). The central cholinergic neurons
can activate the hypothalamic oxytocin synthesis, and stimulate the
anterior pituitary to release oxytocin into the bloodstream with a small
portion of oxytocin crossing the blood-brain barrier back to the limbic
and thalamic system for a positive feedback stimulation on the brain.
On
the other hand, directly sexual stimulation via five sexual perceptions
- hearing, sight, touching, smelling, and kissing, can also activate
erectile function and sexual arousal via the dopaminergic,
oxytocinergic, noradrenergic and sympathetic nervous pathway which are
responsible for triggering orgasmic responses during sex. In addition
to the directly sexual stimulation, sexual arousal and erectile function
can be spontaneously induced by psychologically-induced dopaminergic
action on the central nervous system in the limbic and hypothalamus,
such as sexual fantasy, thought or imagination. Overall, the
dopaminergic-driven sexual arousal generally promotes the hypothalamic
dopamine-norepinephrine conversion with norepinephrine induced
prostaglandin E2 in the brain and sex organs, essential to orgasmic
responses. In some extreme cases, spontaneously sexual arousal can
result in spontaneous orgasm without physical, sexual stimulation.
Upon
sexual stimulation, the dopaminergic neurons in the nucleus accumbens
and striatum are supposed to promote the pituitary oxytocin release
(while reducing the prolactin release; otherwise, the sex organs going
limp!), to fire up the oxytocinergic neurons, and, then, to initiate the
hypothalamus and adrenal dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion
mechanism in the stress response axis - the
hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis for the noradrenergic, adrenergic,
and sympathetic nervous activation. Noticeably, activation of adrenergic
β receptors with epinephrine will facilitate the release of
β-endorphin, which modulates the cellular sensitivity enhanced by
norepinephrine-induced prostaglandin E2 and histamine in the alpha
andrenergic receptors. Both prostaglandin E2 and histamine increase the
nervous sensitivity, tissue erection and inflammation over the entire
body, particularly in the brain, nipples, and sex organs, but they are
also responsible for inflammatory pains in the brain and sex organs,
sexual rushes, and premature ejaculation or orgasm. Obviously, the
β-endorphin modulation on the nervous system becomes very critical for
sexual pleasure and prolonging sex. Insterestingly, the central
hypothalamic and adrenal norepinpehrine-enpehrine conversion seems to
play an important role in stimulating β-endorphin release as noted in an
experienment by repeated infusion of epinephrine http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2998913. It requires a threshold level of epinephrine to trigger β-endorphin release http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2532179 .
The norepinpehrine-enpehrine conversion effeciency and the threshold
level may depend on individual. Both alpha and
beta adrenergic stimulation selectively release β-endorphin, but
beta-adrenergic stimulation is more effectively. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6283065.
The beta-adrenergic stimulation causes the tissue expansion while the
alpha-adrenergic stimulation results in tissue contration.
Further,
the dilation of the brain arteries via the NOergic action and the
noradrenergic action on adrenergic β receptors allows more oxytocin
across the blood-brain barriers back into the hypothalamus and ventral
tegmental area to increase extracellular dopamine release in the ventral
tegmental area, supraoptic nucleus, nucleus accumbens and
paraventricular nucleus in maintaining and prolonging dopaminergic
action for sexual arousal. I have found that oxytocin elicits the
binding of norepinephrine and epinephrine into the adrenergic β
receptors to facilitate smooth-muscle expansion, arterial dilation,
erectile function, libido enhancement, and testicular (ovarian) function
by increasing the blood flow into the brain and sex organs, whereas its
sister hormone prolactin promotes the binding of norepinephrine and
epinephrine into the adrenergic alpha-(α-) receptors to facilitate
smooth-muscle contraction, arterial constriction, limp erection, and
ebbing libido. Interestingly, the opposite effects of oxytocin and
prolactin on the adrenergic receptors form the orgasmic
expansion-contraction cycle of the smooth muscles and arteries in
response to the alternative oxytocin and prolactin pulsing release from
the hypothalamus-pituitary axis. In other words, the orgasmic
expansion-contraction cycle of the smooth muscles and arteries is driven
by the involuntary sympathetic motoring nerves under the alternative
binding of norepinephrine and epinephrine into the sympathetic nervous
adrenergic β- and α- receptors, as a result of the biological effects on
the receptors exerted by oxytocin and prolactin, respectively.
With
orchestra effects of the cholinergic / (parasympathetic) and
dopaminergic nervous action on the oxytocinergic and NOergic (Nitric
Oxide neurons) system for the enhancement of arterial dilation and
central oxytocin release, oxytocin and the enhanced blood flow
continuously maintain stimulation of the testicular or ovarian function
for continuous androstenedione, testosterone and DHT output which, in
turn, fuel the dopaminergic nervous activation into the highest gear for
heat in the brain and sex organs. This also results in an increase in
the vaginal, clitoral and penile sensitivity and the prostate seminal
fluid (or Skene's fluid) production. Once the dopaminergic,
oxytoninergic, NOergic (Nitric Oxide neurons), cholinergic (vagal and
parasympathetic neurons) and sympathetic nervous system (in its
adrenergic beta receptors) maximize the sex-organ tissue expansion
(strain) which produces an extreme stretching stress for the local
neurons and induces an extreme prostaglandin E2 release to maximize the
sensitivity of the neuromuscular endings in the sex organs at the same
time, the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis in response to the
extreme psychological and physiological conditions initiates an abrupt
dopamine-norepinephrine conversion and drops the dopaminergic action on
the pituitary function, leading to release prolactin for smooth-muscle
contraction and arterial constriction to bring the blood out of sex
organs in releasing the physical strain and its resulted nervous stress
in the sex organs. After one-cycle contraction is over, the
hypothalamus-pituitary axis releases the overproduced oxytocin to cause
another smooth-muscle expansion again. Therefore, the
expansion-contraction cycle repeats again and again. Gradually, the
pituitary gland will release more prolactin but less oxytocin after each
cycle. Eventually, the oxytocin-induced expansive and dilative effect
on the arteries and smooth muscles will be suppressed by the
contractive and constrictive effect of the accumulative prolactin in the
bloodstream. At the final end of the expansion-contraction cycling,
the smooth muscles return to the flaccid state, sexual arousal is
over, and the oxytocin level in the bloodstream drops, but the
prolactin level in the bloodstream reaches its peak. Each contraction of
the sex organs sending a powerful action potential pulse to the heart,
the lungs and the brain's rewarding center ( nucleus accumbens, the
amygdala and the ventral tegmental area), pleasure center (prefrontal
cortex), and conscious control center (cerebral cortex) via the vagal,
sympathetic, parasympathetic and somatic sensory neurons is known as
sexual orgasm. The
period of orgasmic contraction cycle, that is the prolactin-oxytocin
release cycle, is about 0.8-second based up our measurement of the
orgasmic vocal responses. This is Dr.Lin's orgasmic theory. That
is, the smooth muscles of the entire body, particularly in the heart,
lungs, arteries and sex organs, will experience the 0.8-second
expansion-contraction cycle during orgasm.
For men, the dominant
orgasmic nervous pathway is the somatic and sympathetic sensory nerves,
with a minor vagal sensory nervous transmission to the brain. This is
because the sympathetic motoring nerves from Discs L1-L3 are responsible
for the contraction of the prostate and seminal vesicles, leading to
seminal ejaculation. In the prostate and seminal vesicles, the sensory
nervous function and the sympathetic motoring nervous function are more
active than the vagal and parasympathetic nerves. For this reason, men
can suffer from involuntary ejaculation in the early morning or during
watching pornography when the hypothalamic and adrenal
dopamine-norepinephrine conversion becomes high enough to overpower the
cholinergic, serotoninergic and GABAergic nervous control and modulation
on the central noradrenergic and sympathetic nervous flow to the
prostate and seminal vesicles, and to activate the sympathetic nervous
contraction mechanism in the prostate and seminal vesicles via the
binding of norepinephrine in the local adrenergic α- receptors to
facilitate contractive ejaculation, even without muscle expansion. Men
can feel a heat wave and electric pulse run along the spine and shoot
into the brain in response to each orgasmic contraction, via the all
sensory nervous inputs between the coccyx (Co) and the thoracic disc #12
(T12). This is why traditional Taoists consider the male sexual orgasm
energy travels along the Governing Vessel (the energy channel in the
central back body) of the acupuncture networks to the brain. Based up
on my studies on the Chinese Tradition Medicine's Chi(Qi)-Blood theory,
acupuncture channels are the most significant electromagnetic field
lines jointly induced by the major nervous electric currents and the
major blood (ion) flows in the body. The classical doctors didn't have
any microscopes to discover neurons; instead, they were able to map the
electromagnetic field lines over the body.
The
sensory nerves in the prostate and seminal vesicles can be excited by
excess of semen, inflammation, volumetric expansion, or/and
prostaglandin E2, resulting in ejaculation urgency via the stimulation
of somatic sensory nerves, and in premature ejaculation via activation
of the sympathetic motoring nerves. Somatic nervous contraction on the
pubococcygeus muscle, known as the PC muscle can excite the sensory
nerves in the prostate, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral glans to
secret more fluids for discharge or ejaculation. The sympathetic
sensory-motoring nervous reflex arcs in Discs L1-L3 can be trained to
activate orgasmic contraction in response to stimulation.
For
women, the dominant orgasmic nervous pathway is the vagal sensory nerves
with a minor sympathetic sensory nervous transmission. This is because
the vagal (cranial nerve CN-X) sensory neurons from the clitoris,
g-spot, cervix and uterus, directly linking to the
limbic-hypothalamus-pituitary axis, are most efficient ones in shooting
the orgasmic contraction signals into the brain, followed by the
sympathetic ones which are chained into the spinal nerves. The vagal
nerves are like freeways between the sex organs and the
limbic-hypothalamus-pituitary axis whereas sympathetic and somatic
sensory nerves are like local congestive roads. The vagal sensory
neurons can deliver a sequence of powerful orgasmic action potential
pulses to cause heavy breathing, heart pounding, involuntary moaning
and crying at a period of 0.8 seconds, and blackout of the conscious control center cerebral cortex.
This is why traditional Taoists consider the female sexual orgasm
energy travels along the Conceptive Vessel (the energy channel in the
central front body) of the acupuncture networks to the brain.
Some
men and women experience body, leg or hand shaking at 0.8 seconds per
cycle when the action potential pulses are transduced by the sympathetic
and somatic sensory neurons in the sex organs and/or reflected by the
reflex arc in the spinal discs to other sympathetic motoring nerves. The
sympathetic sensory-motoring nervous reflex arcs in Discs L1-L3 are
responsible for self-induced (spontaneous) ejaculation for men and
self-induced (spontaneous)orgasm for women. Exciting or training the
nervous reflex circuits can increase and accelerate sexual orgasm
responses.
