Neuroscientists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have mapped the brain injuries -- or lesions -- that result in delusional misidentification syndromes (DMS), a group of rare disorders that leaves patients convinced people and places aren't really as they seem. In a study published in the journal Brain, Michael D. Fox, MD, PhD, Director of the Laboratory for Brain Network Imaging and Modulation and the Associate Director of the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at BIDMC and colleagues reveal the neuro-anatomy underlying these syndromes for the first time.

"How the brain generates complex symptoms like this has long been a mystery," said Fox. "We showed how complex symptoms can emerge based on brain connectivity. With a lesion in exactly the right place, you can disrupt the brain's familiarity detector and reality monitor simultaneously, resulting in bizarre delusions. Understanding where these symptoms come from is an important step toward treating them."

Ah, so that's why...

    45 minutes? You're doing it wrong. The trick is to be sensual yet aggressive as possible. She wants to be fucked as bad as you do but she needs a connection. She needs to know you WANT HER and not just her pussy. Feel her, caress her, hold her, complement her. Whatever is positive. That will get her cunt dripping in minutes. Women need to be wanted as a whole, not just their hole.

    That's why they like mind porn aka romance novels. They want to feel that connection to the man in the novel who's crushing it. I remember talking to an ex about this after she showed me the kind of porn she looked at. Sure there were some pictures (this was late 90's before youtube porn). But the pictures were accompanied by short stories. Few paragraphs with hardcore pictures that went with the story. And yes, they read that shit while masturbating.
