Whoa, there's cell-phone video of Gaddafi being beaten bloody by the crowd, and dragged, shirtless and barely conscious right before they shot him in the face.
Reminds me of Ceausescu's end.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

Our wings are not tired.
Of course, had I been, I'd probably be mildly envious of the women who actually manage to acheive orgasm during childbirth.
Wow! And I thought the burst of energy and euphoria after the fact was pretty cool. I was very surprised to see how I was sound asleep between contractions on the video. Who knew? Alas, no surprise orgasms.
It sounds to me like we're getting kicked out. Which amounts to the same thing.
Yeah, that is what it sounded like to me too. But still a fan of it happening.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm generally anti-surprise orgasms, but I suppose that would be as good a time as any.

Orgasm during birth sounds possible if you consider all the nerves down around there getting overstimulated and misfiring.
I was highly amused by a YouTube clip showing a baby elephant trying to figure how to use her trunk, quite like a human baby trying to learn how to pick things up with her fingers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have no doubt that it's physically possible, but the idea that giving birth only hurts because American women aren't close enough to the earth or whatever makes me roll my eyes and want to stab things.

Because books.
What Jessica said.
I have almost convinced myself to buy a "pack" of electronic cigarettes.

"When the baby's coming down the birth canal, remember, it's going through the exact same positions as something going in, the penis going into the vagina, to cause an orgasm,"
What is the percentage of women who experience orgasms without clitoral stimulation, again?
