Psychology says people who reply to messages within seconds aren't just efficient - they've built their sense of safety around being reachable, because somewhere in their past, being slow to respond had consequences - Silicon Canals

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.'
