Orgasms ‘turn-off’ women

It's strange how the human body works. New Scientist has an article claiming that when women have their orgasm, their brains actually switch off.
For women, it seems, sex is a big turn-off, reveals a brain scanning study. It shows that many areas of the brain switch off during the female orgasm - including those involved with emotion.
...
“At the moment of orgasm, women do not have any emotional feelings,” says Gert Holstege of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
So much for sex being emotionally-involving?
