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.
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

"Scrump" is archaic slang for "the sexual act." Ben Franklin referred to prostitutes as "scrumpets."
Mmm... hot buttered prostitutes.

"Most Orgasms: 134 in one hour for a woman - 16 for a man." Comment fully unnecessary.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
a larger number may be able to experience this with the proper stimulation (such as a vibrator) and frame of mind.
I think I can, I think I can?

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.
Yeah, but "I decided I didn't need to finish my thesis because DFW wrote the book on infinity" sounds much better than "I got distracted by earning enough to pay my bills and lost all my research during the Great Purge of '98".
Though who knows, maybe reading his will inspire me to start on my own again.
