Orgasm.mp3?

So I read an article on Digg that discussed a concept called Brainwave Entrainment (full article here) and how it can be used to help produce certain states in the brain by using sound to stimulate specific brainwaves. The authors then gave a very practical and effective demonstration of the concept by creating a 20 minute sound file that induces an "energizing state giving you a 'caffeine' energetic boost." And like thousands of others, I downloaded the file and found that it definitely works, although I think I'll probably stick with Mountain Dew, myself.





Then, a bit later, I was reading another article (also on Digg, go figure) about the differences between orgasms in men and women. Specifically, whether female orgasms would kill men. As it turns out, the theta waves generated in a females brain are about ten times stronger than in mens. Because of this, they theorize, a male could not survive an orgasm the same strength of a females.



Whether or not this is true (they don't want to experiment with this, possibly for fear of becoming a cliché), it does bring to mind two things. One is the authenticity of that old joke "God says to Adam and Eve, 'I have two last things to offer. One is the ability to pee standing up.' Adam says 'ooh ooh me me I want that one!' and God says 'Okay, Adam. Eve, you get multiple orgasms.'"



The other, obviously, is whether it is possible to induce orgasms via sound. If one could make an mp3 or wav that would induce the same theta waves created during orgasm, would this induce an actual orgasm, would it make someone more susceptible to having an orgasm, would it just make someone want to have sex (no comment on whether it would want to make someone else have sex with some geek wearing an iPod), or what other possible effects it might have.
