When is The Super Orgasm on Channel 4, what is the sexual phenomenon and what is the show about?
A NEW show is set to see if women can achieve the ultimate sexual pleasure.
Channel 4 is exploring The Super Orgasm in a brand new documentary on tonight - here's what you need to know...
What is a "super orgasm"?
Scientists claim it is possible for women to have “super-orgasms” where they can orgasm 100 times in a row.
The climaxing state is possible, they concluded, with a mix of relaxation, yoga and bonding.
The incredible discovery dismisses previous research which said that “super-orgasms” didn’t exist.
According to investigators, an important part of reaching super orgasm may be “turning off the brain, becoming less engaged and letting go”.
What will Channel 4's The Super Orgasm explore?
Five women’s brains were monitored for a Channel 4 documentary called The Super Orgasm, which set out to explore the “myth” of women being multi-orgasmic.
One of the participants Jeanette says appearing in the study has revolutionised her sex life.
She said: “In the 21st century it is an outrage that we are still dismissing ideas of women having multiple orgasms.”
One of the study’s findings was that women who experienced multiple orgasms released higher levels of oxytocin.
This hormone, often known as the love hormone, helps bond people to their sexual partner.
And these women were also found to be “less inhibited and more easily aroused.”
Instead of focusing on the orgasm, their brains remained more relaxed throughout the sexual experience.
Three of the other women in the study, Beverley, 52, Nan Wise and Francesca, 59, found they could all have multiple orgasms but all for different reasons.
Beverley claimed that her role running tantric sex classes was behind her “super-orgasm”, meanwhile Nan Wise said hers was down to lots of yoga.
Francesca said hers could only happen with a partner she had bonded with.
When can I watch The Super Orgasm?
This one-off documentary will be screened on Channel 4.
You can watch tonight (13 April 2017) at 10pm.
If you miss the show, you can catch up on 4OD.
