Sex on the brain: Orgasms unlock altered consciousness

I'm sharing this link that I saw on Literotica's Facebook Page:

My response was this:

Intriguing article. Most definitely possible. It can cause out-of-body experiences. Those kinds of shift in consciousness can improve pain. As a chronic pain sufferer, I can attest to the endorphin release and easing of pain during stimulation and/or orgasm. Whether it's solo or with a partner. But to be truthful? Nothing to me is more stimulating than words and it makes sense that the power of imagination and ability to fantasize would evoke those responses.

It certainly does in my case; sometimes even stronger than touch (especially when touch isn't always possible). Thank goodness for the imagination, in those cases! :) I explore this shift in consciousness in some of my stories and take it to another level in my shifter/paranormal tale: "Shifting Illuminations"
