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.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't get to this page, I'm pretty sure (god DAMN, I need to clear my cache), but it implies that Kinsey posited 15% of women were capable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm apparently Middle to Upper Middle Class (depending on whether I use my meager salary or my household income as the determinant). Top fifth in education, bottom fifth in income.

ita's "this page" link is what we might call work-unsafe. In case anyone was wondering.

No way I'm having sex with the scary plastic-headed king, no matter how many orgasms.
No! It's not him. Can't be. It's probably him. It's like therapy, see?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Is this question making sense to anyone else?
It is to me. I always thought multiple orgasms meant one right after the other, without extra stimulation or whatnot in between each one.
