Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Is there any particular evolutionary advantage to a man to ensure the woman ejaculates, though, or is he still best off playing a numbers game?

Yes, if the theory proves true. Okay, take this all with a massive grain of salt since this info came along with advice like "if you want to have a boy, douche with baking soda" and such. In other words, more than a whiff of woo-woo. But the theory is that if the woman has an orgasm AFTER the man has come, the vaginal contractions will help direct the sperm into uterus.

What the hell, even if it doesn't work, the trying has it's own, uh, benefits. Unlike most of the TTC advice I was given.

Because books.

I think that's what that Renaissance book said!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Bubba and Charlie? Hiding with the elegant Dita? Why do I envision that dog-cat pairing in overalls and straw hats now?

Oh god.

In the Renaissance they also thought conception took anywhere from 10 to 12 months. Make of that what you will.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Sounds like someone was trying to explain how she got pregnant when her husband was away.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I watched a PBS video which showed a woman's orgasm after her male partner had ejaculated, and it was pretty obvious to me that a woman having an orgasm would help facilitate sperm moving into the uterus. The video was pretty amazing.

I can imagine that being a cool video.

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

But the theory is that if the woman has an orgasm AFTER the man has come, the vaginal contractions will help direct the sperm into uterus.

Well, I guess the question is--is fifteen minutes spent bringing woman A to orgasm going to be reproductively more valuable than spending it ejaculating into a fresh, possibly still anorgasmic, vagina? There's a point at which the effort isn't necessarily the most efficient use of his time.

If he can only get it up once or so a night, he might as well go hunt the G-spot. But if he's got teenaged refractory reflexes, maybe a fresh vagina is where the money is.

I missed my sister since she's been off the net on holiday, so I Vibered her because I wasn't sure what her connectivity was like on her travels. And now I'm replacing her computer. Which is totally my own idea! But she's had a stressful yet enjoyful (as not words go, I kinda like that one, and I don't even have meds to blame) time in Dominica, and one result is badly damaging the laptop she uses for work but will still have a hard time getting the university to replace. She needs a new one, and she doesn't need the stress right now.

I drew her for my "someone I love" day of the drawing challenge, and true to type we're agreeing to not talk about it.
