It’s usually the man who has a heart attack during sex, because he’s doing most of the "work." But in one recent case, it was the WOMAN who had a stroke..

Minutes after having sexual intercourse with her boyfriend, a 35-year-old woman suddenly felt her left arm go weak. Her speech became slurred and she lost feeling on the left side of her face. She was having a stroke.

The female quest for sexual orgasm has led to some strange research. Now scientists say they have finally found the first evidence of the existence of the elusive "G spot"–but only in some women. The G spot is supposed to control women’s ability to have orgasms. Italian researchers examined the vaginas of 20 women with ultrasound and found a thickened area of tissue in those who said they had vaginal orgasms. This area of thickness was absent in those who said they did not. A second way to have orgasms is through the clitoris, which is removed from young girls in some countries. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychotherapy, claimed that women have vaginal orgasms, but most researchers have dismissed this, saying that all female orgasms are due to stimulation of the clitoris.read more
