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.

Hm. I had BK for lunch. I guess I didn't order right.

Hmm. The creepy BK king-guy from the commercials is seeming less creepy in that light....

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

'Cuz most people still don't know what actuaries are.

Just another word for accountant.

Just Kidding

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.

Hmm. The creepy BK king-guy from the commercials is seeming less creepy in that light....

Yeah, that idea just put me off sex forever. Okay, for the next five minutes.

LONDON (Reuters) - British soldiers serving in Iraq crashed defense ministry computers in London last week after officials downloaded a spoof video the troops had made of a chart-topping song. The soldiers' four-minute video take of the 1971 hit "Is This The Way To Amarillo" had officers laughing out loud back at London headquarters as they e-mailed copies to each other. "The video is really good," a military spokesman said on Tuesday.

may experience several successive orgasms,

My question then, I guess, is whether it needs to be, er, pop-pop-pop, as this entry makes it sound, to be considered multiple orgasms, rather than renewed arousal after a short recovery period?

Is this question making sense to anyone else?

Also, -t, the book is as much DFW as it is mathematical history (which is part of what made me love it so much). There's plenty of room for another one that's not Foster Wallace-y! Just look at how many books have been published about zero.
