I think it’s an extremely large number, for females. ---

So far, we know that you are thin and that you have lots of orgasms. Are you Paris Hilton? ---

I’d like the 72 hour orgasm for Christmas, thank you. I’ll just lay in the bathtub. You guys work with presents and shit. ---

I’m like the OP - five in one day is a piece of cake but I couldn’t keep it up for a week - I’d have to make do with only three on alternate days. So assuming I started with five, uh… 29. ---

Rhymers don’t “have” orgasms. We TAKE them. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds good. Actually it sound vaguely like I’m a rapist, and I’m not. I swear, I’m a sweet, lovable super-villain type. ---

If you’re a woman, are you counting only full-blown orgasms or do the waves of pleasure before it also count? ---

I know for me it is genetically impossible for me to have an organism, though my oldest sister had four. Oh, ORGASM, I thought it said organism. My nieces and nephews would not be amused. – IG ---

I think I could have five a day for an entire week, if they were spaced out properly. Possibly even more. I wouldn’t be susprised if I could hit forty if I were really trying. I’m a 26-year-old guy. ---

I don’t mean to sound like a stuffy old wet blanket, but, don’t you feel (intuitively) that spending your essence with so many orgasms like that causes you to lose some of your soul in the process? ---

Absolutely not. If there’s anything better for the soul than orgasms, I haven’t found it yet. ---

[/QUOTE] Can you define “essence” for the sake of this discussion–and also “soul”–and explain how you feel orgasms cause the two to be diminished?
