4. "Pamela" would like to know:
How many big Os can a lady have in 1 sex encounter? I know very silly but I have read various things and a Dr. I know told me no more than 6 or someone would faint or health risks.
Thanks You Pamela for your question. I don't think it is silly at all. I don't have an answer right away, but I will do some research and get back to you ASAP. In the meantime, I welcome any of my panelists or readers to comment on this matter

This may not answer the immediate health risk question, but I thought it was interesting and related anyhow:
"Orgasm is an intense over-stimulation of the pleasure/reward center in the primitive part of the brain. It's not as beneficial as it feels like it is—because it triggers a subsequent, protective, neurochemical shutdown by the body. That's why so many men roll over and start snoring afterward. The shutdown doesn't affect everyone the same way, though. Some people feel the shift as irritability, low libido, or depression that can linger for days or weeks.
So orgasm can lead to a nasty high/low cycle, inexplicable anxiety, and painful disharmony between partners. These feelings are seriously stressful—and unhealthy. In fact, a Swedish study found that for women heart patients, disharmonious relationships affected recovery rates significantly more than work stress.
Now, loving sex of any kind is a stress reliever because loving feelings release oxytocin, a neurochemical that counters the effects of stress. The biological fertilization model tends to create increasing disharmony between partners, so there's less and less love, and more and more resentment. Resentful sex is not a stress reliever. "

I have not found anything yet that says anything about fainting or other health problems, but I will keep researching.
My totally unscientific opinion is that orgasms are nothing but great. From my personal experience, it is pretty difficult to have more than 6 orgasms in one sexual encounter, although I think that on one occassion I experienced 7. It seems that my body reaches a point where it is maximally stimulated and no matter how much more stimulation I receive, the sensory input is just not enough anymore to reach another orgasm... I really curious though if there are any documented cases of loss of consciousness from multiple orgasms.
Ok, Ladies: Here's the thing: I have researched this topic all night, and I could not find any evidence whatsoever that multiple orgasms can cause fainting or other health problems.
I found a site that called the orgasm- "la petit mort" which means "the little death". This term was used in France back in medieval times to describe the female orgasm. I have 2 theories about this:
1. Women seemed to faint in those days all the time because of poor diet, lack of exercise and tight undergarments, so not surprising that something like an orgasm would raise their heart rate above what they were used to and possibly fainted- again, no proof that this actually happened.
2. Women were then, and unfortunately sometimes now, viewed as for bearing children only. Rumors were started back then to discourage women from having sex for pleasure, so.... "the little death" might have scared some women from enjoying sex.
I will say this, however. Orgasms are events that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, raise your heart rate, re-direct blood flow, etc. It is possible that if a woman suffered from cardiovascular disease, that having multiple orgasms in rapid succession may aggravate that condition. But it is my belief that in order for a woman to achieve multiples in the first place, she must have excellent blood flow and be in pretty good health.
In short, this is only my opinion, but if you can have multiple orgasms, more than likely, you are fit enough to handle them
WOW, you sure did a lot of research on this matter!
LOL @ "la petit mort"... all I can say is: if there's a way to "go," I think I've picked mine! (even better than dying in your sleep) ;)
Whew! I didn't like that article proclaiming orgasms as "bad for you". I mean, really? LOL
I agree with you Dr. Prann. I believe a lot of myths about sex came from older religious times to keep one of life's greatest gifts as a tool to hold people at a certain level of control.
Nice work,
