DIRTY MINDS gets a mention on the Guardian and Huffington Post

As part of my research DIRTY MINDS, I volunteered to take part in an orgasm study. Yes, I "self-stimulated to orgasm" as a brain scanner measured blood flow in my brain. That research was highlighted at this year's Society for Neuroscience conference--and I wrote about the experience for the Guardian's Notes and Theories blog: I had an orgasm in an fMRI scanner.

That post was then picked up by the Huffington Post--at this moment, it's one of the lead stories on the AOL homepage. But you can view it here: This Is Your Brain on the Big 'O.'

Orgasm news travels fast, I guess!

The orgasm heard 'round the world...

...or something like that.

DIRTY MINDS has been in the news this week. Here's the skinny:

fMRI orgasms, including my own contribution to this line of research, ended up in the Guardian's top 10 list of great science stories for 2011. How 'bout that?

What does DIRTY MINDS and Katherine Heigl have in common? They are both featured in the January 2012 issue of ELLE magazine. Out on newsstands now, the DIRTY MINDS review appears on page 107--and Ben Dickinson, book editor extraordinaire, says DIRTY MINDS "fairly bristles with causes to reflect on our erotic complexity."

And, of course, there are 48 hours left to win a signed advance copy of the book. Just head on over to the DIRTY MINDS Facebook page to enter.
