Demo, after reading psycat’s post ;p, do you think any of us guys are feeling remotely sorry for _you_ right now? I once had a girlfriend who ejaculated when she had orgasms (which turned me on considerably, btw). As a result, I didn’t have to take her at her word when she said she was starting to have orgasms while going down on me; the soaked sheets told the tale. Unfortunately, that was a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. A lively interest in sex was about all we had in common, and it wasn’t enough. * * * “Living in this complex world of the future is not unlike having bees live inside your head.” - F.

Well, now. I haven’t even looked at this thread until now, and I only read it because it is sure to be a hot topic at tonight’s doperfest. Really, I have prudish tendencies, so I get kind of uncomfortable reading about other people’s orgasms. So, I am reading through, getting more and more embarassed…when I come to mega the roo’s little confession. To say that this thread has taken a turn for the _unexpected_ is the understatement of the year. Now, for those of you who don’t know, I teach history at an esteemed NYC university. I can honestly say that it never, _ever_ occurred to me that somebody might be getting off on one of my exams. I am truly shocked and amazed. Truly truly shocked and amazed. Mega–have you ever considered pursuing a Ph.D.? Wow. ---

Heh…I can just see the letter from Little Ed Jr.'s schoolteacher: \*Dear Mr. and Mrs. Zotti, I would like to arrange a meeting with you both at your earliest convenience. I am concerned by the manner in which Edward, Junior may be using his free time. Today’s Language Arts assignment was “Where Our Parents Work”. I enclose a copy of Edward’s paper, which he read aloud to the class. “My daddy sits in front of a computer all day. He eats Cheetohs and asks people about their orgasms over the internet. Then a bunch of women he doesn’t know e-mail him and tell him all about how to give them orgasms.” Naturally, this received a large reaction from the class, especially as we do not ordinarily begin sex education until the fifth grade. It was some time before I could get the children calmed down again. I am quite sure that such a ridiculous claim as your son made is untrue, coming as it does from the child of such responsible parents as yourselves. Nevertheless, I am equally certain that Edward could not have come up with such a disturbing scenario unless it had some relation to something he had actually experienced. Your son speaks a great deal of someone he calls “Uncle Cecil;” although he admits this man is not his real uncle, but is a co-worker of Mr. Zotti. Edward refuses to give any details about this man, saying that “Uncle Cecil wouldn’t like it if I told.” This concerns me, to say the least. How much do you know about this man and how he spends his leisure hours? Edward, Junior is a bright, attentive boy, quick to pick up on the details of his environment. I would particularly like to discuss whether he spends much unsupervised time either in front of your home computer or in the company of “Uncle Cecil.” Please call me to arrange a meeting at your earliest convenience.

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by Shayna: > \*\*Yowza - what a topic! > > I guess you could say I’m one of those women, although I’ve never had an orgasm from pulling or brushing my hair. My nipples are extremely sensitive though, and with the right kind of stimulation of them I can reach vaginal orgasm without ever actually touching “down there.” > \*\* I guess I’d qualify too, though there are only specific types of things that do it. It’s almost always mental, but based on physical. For example: There’s this one guy I know who … well, he _smells_ good. He’s attractive, though not insanely so (good thing, those are usually horrible in personality, which is enough to turn me off instantly). He’s sweet and solicitous. He looks you in the eyes and you know where he is - some people are just sort of ‘not there’ behind their eyes, others are only slightly better, and rarely you get one who is ‘_right_ f-ing there’. He’s one of the latter. It excites me to just be around him, which is unusual, but happens sometimes. I orgasmed when he touched my arm the other night (and I tried _very_ hard not to show it). This is not an isolated occurance, but it is invariably someone to whom I am irresistably attracted. If the attraction isn’t there, if my mind isn’t in ‘that state’, it doesn’t happen. It’s also wholly based on the mental attraction - for some people, looking into their eyes counts as foreplay. For me, it’s true - the brain _is_ the biggest sex organ. I think the ‘trigger’ is the connection with them. As in, it’s not a particular place on my body, it’s the connection between our minds that gets me off. The physical touch is just an extension of that, and it brings the erotic nature of it to the fore, thereby causing my body to react. Incidentally, on the subject, my strongest orgasms invariably happen when we do it together, not one before the other. I don’t know if this is what was meant by the term ‘psychic orgasms’, but it’s how I would term it. My mind creates the orgasm, not my body. My body just goes with it. -Elthia ---
