4play See other 4play Articles Title: the drug that gives women an orgasm when they sneeze. While this isn't exactly a world record, it's pretty interesting. I remember reading awhile ago about an experimental drug that caused women to have orgasms when they sneezed! When the study was over the women requested to be put back on the drug. Do you know the name of the drug or where I can find information about this? If I can prove this is true my office mates will be buying my drinks next time we go out (they don't believe this is true), so I appreciate any help you can provide. J. confesses that your yarn sounds suspiciously like an urban legend, so he initially didn't take your query all that seriously. But as he read further into the subject, it turns out what you read was absolutely 100% correct--sort of. The drug you heard about was an antidepressant called clomipramine. One of the side effects of clomipramine is that, in some rare cases, women taking the drug would experience an orgasm during inopportune times. The Medline articles I turned up refer to yawning as the culprit, but it could happen during sneezing too. There's a certain whimsicalness about this that I find amusing--I mean, can you think of better way of being prepped up during a dull conversation?--but there's another side effect to clomipramine that isn't so amusing (at least, not to its victims). You see, like other antidepressants, clomipramine has a tendency to REPRESS sexual response in a much larger portion of patients. What this means is (for males) ejaculatory difficulties and (for females) the inability to reach orgasm. So this drug can either facilitate or inhibit female orgasms! So disabuse yourself of any notion of getting your woman buzzed on antidepressants. One more thing: researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey have stumbled upon a chemical called vasoactive intestinal peptide that supposedly bypasses the organs all together to deliver sexual satisfaction directly to the (female) brain. The alarmist in me foresees the day when women will dispense with the male of the species for sexual gratification, but the rationalist in me says...nah. Here are the Medline articles I referred to earlier: Beaumont G. Sexual side-effects of clomipramine (Anafranil). Journal of International Medical Research. 5(1 Suppl):37-44, 1977. Murphy M. Down-regulation of post-synaptic serotonin receptors as a mechanism for clomipramine-induced anorgasmia [letter]. British Journal of Psychiatry. 151:704, 1987 Nov.
