New Study on OM Science

What do spirituality and sexuality have in common? Until recently, this was not even a question considered—at least 
in the eyes of science. But new research on Orgasmic Meditation (OM) has uncovered a surprising overlap that could change how we think about intimacy, connection, and even the human brain.

For decades, researchers have explored the neurophysiology of meditation and sexual experiences, but rarely together. OM—a 15-minute practice combining meditation with clitoral stimulation—forces us to ask a bold question: Could Orgasmic Meditation be the bridge between fulfillment and consciousness?

Researchers observed 40 participants—20 men and 20 women—using PET scans to measure brain activity during OM.

The results weren’t just surprising—they were paradigm-shifting.

These findings represent a distinct pattern of brain activity, for both men and women, that is a hybrid between that of other meditation practices and sexual stimulation.

Such findings have potential psychotherapeutic implications and may deepen our understanding of the relationship between spiritual and sexual experience.

What’s happening in the woman’s brain?
During OM, women showed reduced activity in regions tied to control and self-consciousness, including the frontal and parietal lobes.


This wasn’t just relaxation—it mirrored the brain states seen 
in deep meditation, where the 
sense of self dissolves.

OM points to a deeper understanding of how we connect—with ourselves and others.

Could this connection between meditation and sexuality guide us in managing anxiety, enhancing relationships, and redefining our experience of intimacy?
