Sex:The Big "O" & The Big Difference:

A man usually needs about two or three minutes of stimulation to have an orgasm,a woman generally needs 10 times more. For a man,an orgasm is instinctive.For a woman,it happens only after direct stimulation of the clitoris. A man's climax usually lasts for 10-13 seconds.For a woman,it lasts 6-60 seconds. A man must recuperate after an orgasm but a woman can have repeated orgasms within minutes or in rapid succession. Wonder why a man rolls over and sleeps after? During sex,his body releases oxytocin,a hormone that induces drowsiness.A woman is more relaxed after sex,which is why she wants to talk or cuddle.

Hot flashes can strike men too:

Men can also experience hot flashes like menopausal women-if they undergo chemical castration.New findings have verified a way to detect hot flashes.This could help develop treatments against these uncomfortable events in patients who endure chemical castration for medical reasons.Chemical castration involves hormonal drugs that suppress testosterone and therefore the male sex drive.The procedure is employed as a punishment for male sex offenders in some American states and also performed on prostate cancer patients to help deplete testosterone and thus slow the disease.

Men,women navigate differently:

Men and women solve spatial problems differently, with women having a tendency to use landmarks for navigation,says a study.Spatial problems are those in which the learner is unable to understand the concept of directions:up,down,left,right and so on.In one of the first research studies to assess gender differences in cognitive performance in non-human primates,experts compared normal female and male monkeys to see how they solve spatial problems. Researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center,Atlanta,found the tendency to use landmarks for navigation was typical only of females.
