Redditanvändaren noveltysin lade nyss upp den graf över pulsen under en sexstund med sin partner. Med en vilopuls kring 60 slag per minut blev detta resultatet (vad som inte inkluderas 20 minuter förspel…).
I diskussionen på Reddit reagerar noveltysin på kommentarerna inlägget fått:
- Man, everyone focuses on the time. I lose track of it. Time stops. I’m happy.
- Mini orgasm after the main one. Yay women parts.
- Man, now I gotta defend my orgasm to a bunch of strange dudes. Wait, no I don’t.
Redan i mitten på förra århundrandet började man undersöka den fysiska responsen av sex. Här de uppmätta pulserna i studien ”Physiological Responses During Coitus” från 1956:
Simultaneous recordings of the heart rate on the human female and male before, during and after coitus showed a marked increase in heart rate accompanying the orgasm. The response of the male was more uniform than that of the female.
A striking parallelism between the response of the male and the female in a given test was observed in several of the experiments. The simultaneous determinations of the pulmonary ventilation showed a marked increase in the rate and minute volume in many of the tests which suggested that hyperventilation occurred during the erotic arousal and especially during the orgasm.
