We can certainly think ourselves out of orgasm ("I wonder if my boss is still pissed off at me? Did I forget to shut my work computer off? Why is the cat watching us? Gahhhh!"), but can we Criss-Angel-Mindfreak ourselves into it? Barbara Carrellas, a 59-year-old New York-based sex coach, says we can.
Carrellas insists that the right combination of Kegels and breathing can bring on a hands-free orgasm, or what she calls "thinking off." While there haven't been any studies that verify Carrellas' technique, certain breathing techniques have been linked with orgasm. Salon writer Tracy Clark-Flory gave "thinking off" a shot, and did report having a "deeply in-body" experience.
However, this may have been due to hyperventilation — part of "thinking off" — which slows down activity in the brain's frontal cortex and creates an altered state of consciousness that is similar to deep meditation.
In conclusion: Conventional orgasm? No. Feeling like everything is chill because you've deprived your brain of oxygen? Yes. I'll stick to Redtube, kthx.
