He compares the process to “pushing someone on a swing,” because the rhythmic nature of sexual stimulation can cause neurons in the brain to oscillate at the same frequency. We access a state of sensory absorption during a sexual trance, which can build up an intensity of experience that helps trigger climax. “This way of viewing sexual experience is very different from, but consistent with, conceptualizing sex solely in terms of desire, pleasure, and arousal,” he told The Huffington Post on Wednesday.
