Las Vegas bakes world's largest cake
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Huh. The numbers I saw were closer to 10%. And they're not about how frequent the multiples were. Just that 13% of women were capable. So you see the source of my disagreement.
I was speaking anecdotally when I said "most", and then when I Googled there was (unsurprisingly) little statistical information on the matter. And by "little" I mean only references in articles and narry a study siting to be foud.
Well, they're really the same thing, aren't they? Women can recharge more quickly than men, and some women can go off like machine-gun fire.
That's how I've always understood it.

In the class calculator I was way over educated and way underpaid.
I could have told them that.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
this is what happens when I go to lunch.
Multiple orgasms? Lucky girl.
BK. Have it your way.
Hmm. The creepy BK king-guy from the commercials is seeming less creepy in that light....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From britannica.com:
Once the female attains an orgasm, however, she remains sexually excited longer and may experience several successive orgasms, whereas the male is ordinarily unable to experience a second orgasm except after a waiting period
The resolution stage in men contains a refractory period of several minutes to a few hours, during which the man is incapable of further sexual arousal. Women have no such refractory period and can quickly become aroused again from any point in the resolution stage

Is no one else seeing nifty correlations between intermingled discussions of chaos theory and multiple orgasms? It means something.
I mean, something other than that I love all the spicy brains around here.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hm. I had BK for lunch. I guess I didn't order right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

EW! MORE CREEPY! MORE CREEPY! No way I'm having sex with the scary plastic-headed king, no matter how many orgasms.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
I find 13% rather low, honestly... but have no real statistical evidence to back that up (except, it seems strange that it would have such a presence in the cultural consciousness with such a low incidence). Also, ah, Freud. You damage-causing little fucker. "Adolescent phenomenon," indeed.
