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

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.

The video was pretty amazing.

I can imagine that being a cool video.

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.

My first reaction to this question was that even my brothers would struggle to secure a second willing partner within fifteen minutes of intercourse.

Are any of them in theatre or comedy? Because seconds are only sloppy when you're reusing the vulva--otherwise they're STUDLY. Which is to say, with the amount of "science made me do it, honey!" it doesn't have to be literally immediately possible with the shell of society wrapped around us, but cats have those bony dicks for a reason, but other animals have game plans that are more heavy on the escape part of it all.

Shit, the magic muffins have nuts today. This is awful. My day is entirely ruined.

And welcome to my unexamined thoughts. Seemed too much for twitter. Well, and I don't tweet. (I'm glad they didn't push for the verb being "to twitter")

eta, fuck. I really came by to post and ask if anyone has read any of this series: [link] -- clearly there has to be wide variety with all the different TV shows and authors, but I was wondering if it would be worth it to pick up one if it's of, say, Buffy, or the upcoming SPN one.

No, but one of them has seven children by three different women, and the other, during his 'player' phase, maxed out at six women willing to take his call, so to speak, at the one time.

Essentially, I see the numbers game and the female orgasm as potentially complementary strategies. I don't see them as being in competition. For the antechinus, quite possibly, but NSM humans.

I swear that Dawkins took on the orgasm in The Selfish Gene.

I'm not going to claim it's everyday, but I do know a non-trivial number of guys (not in theatre or comedy or sports) who have made the decision at least once during their sex lives of "I gotta stop having sex right now in order to have sex with someone else." I have seen very little to imply that orgasm causing was important enough to a gene's selfishness that society told guys the onus was on them.

Pretty much, if a guy doesn't have an orgasm, he's really really cut down on his chances of impregnation with that sexual encounter. Plummeting probability. But I still have no idea how much "more" means. 2%? Who's sticking around for that? 95%? Then guys would be so trained by the behaviour that they'd be displaying it even when they're not trying to reproduce (well, at least the ones that lean on "I'm biologically designed to hit it and quit it, hon! I'd love to stay and chat, but evolution.").
