Paris Photographer Captures Women Simulate Climax

Female orgasm fascinates Paris-based photographer Bettina Rheims, so she made a series of photos showing the women simulating orgasm for “Just Like a Woman.”

Being an expert in nude photography, Rheims shot the faces and bodies of the women from an elevated point and was not seen by the models since she was hidden by a dark curtain, although she could be heard as she talked dirty to the women to help get them in a right frame of erotic mind.

But Rheims didn’t rely solely on the acting ability to project the highest sexual pleasure. She also used makeup to make their cheeks red, sweat coming out of their skin and underwear marks on their flesh.

However, being an artist and not a pornographer, Rheims made sure only enough flesh such as some mammary glands were seen through sheer fabric or in the naked flesh.

The images do not suggest that the orgasm was achieved through lovemaking with a male partner since the aim was not to portray coitus but the release of bodily sensations.

According to Featureshoot.com, Rheims wants in the future to “capture the elusive space between delirium and ecstasy, a moment wherein ‘the body is compressed and finally freed.’”

In some women, that liquid gush could sometimes be part urine, according to recent scientific studies of female orgasm.

Meanwhile, another type of orgasm is the subject of a viral YouTube video that features a woman named Maria whose actions, ranging from stroking the bristles of a hairbrush to lightly tapping a comb’s handle as triggering a tingling sensation called autonomous sensory meridian response.

Maria compares it to a shower of sparkles or warm sand poured on a body and slides down over the head and shoulders. She compares it to goose bumps on the brain, while some people refer to it as brain orgasm, reports the New York Post.

The video has over 1 million hits so far.
