The most bizarre responses to female climax - including CRYING

The researchers hope the findings will help to reassure women that their responses during orgasm are normal. 'While there have been case reports of women laughing, crying or having unusual physical symptoms during orgasm, this is the first study to characterize what these phenomena are, and when they are most likely to occur,' lead author Dr Lauren Streicher said. 'Women need to know that if they have uncontrollable peals of laughter every time they orgasm, and nothing was funny, they are not alone.'

The medical myth that still shapes misunderstandings of women's health

Hysteria was long attributed to a wandering uterus. The earliest text blaming women's reproduction for illness was the Kahun Gynaecological Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1900 BC. Women's wombs were blamed for things like choking, cognitive deficits and the inability to speak, and paralysis. Treatments for women were always nonsurgical: swallowing medicine or rubbing it on the body; fumigating the womb with oils or incense.
