The researchers also cited some cases documented by scientists in the past, including orgasms induced by stimulating one’s knees, by using one’s imagination without any physical touch at all, or even by mundane activities like brushing your teeth. Yes, really. The cases were gathered from comments anonymously left under a post on a community art site called PostSecret.
