In my case, it’s definitely NOT tied to whether or not I’m involved physically (or any other way) with someone. About two years ago I chose to live a celibate life, so I know this out-of-the-blue orgasm thing is all ME! Now, if I could only find a way to bottle it…

oh, yes, control it in some way. that would be such a good thing, especially as i’ve never been able to masterbate. gotta be someone else there, gotta share it. but this works totally separate from anything else.

i finally decided maybe we have a given # of orgasms, like eggs. you use 'em or lose 'em. my ex was gone a lot (one of the reasons we divorced). maybe these are the unused extras that sometimes ooze out. ahhh.

might explain why some people don’t come often or easily: too tight a band on the little valve. whatdaya think?

Uh - noooo. . . . Bullshit back atcha.

I know how my body feels after a few days of not working out or when I fall back and don’t eat the right food. I feel tired and run down, the clothes feel tight because feel a little bloated and I just don’t have the energy that I usually do.

I’ll stick with my original statement and again say that I don’t workout to impress men, I do it because I feel so much better when I do.

But hey, if it makes you guys feel better thinking women are trying to impress YOU. . . . .

Oh, and about the orgasms in the sleep thing. . .

I too experience them but only when I haven’t had a good romp in the hay or been in the toybox under the nightstand for a while.

## I think they just build up until they involuntarily explode.

Seems to my tired mind there some books out there that extrapolated 1 gender societies, or ones so imbalanced it made no practical difference.

Frankly, what a bore. As frustrated, pissed off and angry as this dual gender (and multiple attraction) thing gets, I wouldn’t want to live in a world that offered anything less. Men don’t need to be women; we women are handling that part just fine. If we mystify, confound and piss one another off, well, it keeps life interesting and us humble.

Life without men? Or women? Fuggedabhoudit. What would be the point, and where would be the fun?

Life without men? No hairy chests? No goatees? No mustaches?

No thanks!

Um, no thanks.

No men? Then I wouldn’t ever get to be someones totally pain-in-the-ass, you’re-not-good-enough-for-my-boy mother-in-law, and I am really looking forward to that.

Zyada, I have to agree. They may be a _lot_ of trouble, but ultimately, there’s absolutely **nothing** on earth like being held close against a man’s chest as he runs his hands through your hair. (sigh)

I thought this thread was about “a world _with out_ men”…you know, like San Francisco. How disappointing.

I think most guys would hope this includes midnight pillowfights at sleepovers and the ability to have everything shown via closed circuit TV on the world of men only.
