Nowhere in the article is it explained where paralysis is connected to orgasms. I would guess something about brain waves, but that doesn't make sense to me considering that paralysis in many cases is a spinal and not a brain disfunction.

UNDATED (AP) _ Researchers at Rutgers University have an interesting job. They're trying to figure out what goes into a woman's orgasm. Using brain scanners and other technology, researchers watch women's brains as they're having an orgasm. One of the researchers is Beverly Whipple, who co-wrote a book called "The G-Spot'' and another is Barry Komisaruk. Komisaruk says the researchers have managed to find areas of the brain that are activated when a woman has an orgasm. The idea is to eventually use the research to help women who experience difficulty having an orgasm. The Rutgers work is being funded by the federal government and the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation.
