Heard in today's physiology class

[cornerofmadness]

So...I was discussing the 4 stages of sexual excitement and while the class was still reeling from the plateau phase, where I explained about the partially hidden clitoris as a hallmark of the stage, remarking that it seems to be fully hidden to far too many guys (thought some of them were going to fall under the desks gasping for air), i skip merrily along over stage 3 - orgasm to stage 4, 'men enter a refractory period.' for the non-scientists this means men have to rest before you can stimulate them again.

One young man said he didn't agree that with a little time that was possible and I replied that's the definition of a refractory period 'a litle time to rest.' then added, 'women do NOT have a refractory period. We can have multiple orgasms. We're LUCKY that way.

You just know someone's going to put that in an essay on the final, don't you?

whee for science!!!! WHEEE! You should give extra points if the boys can DRAW the female reproductive area, really. *laughs*

i dread seeing that. I really do

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I can imagine it. (Which just scares me.)

ROFLMAO.

I suppose some men have better stamina than others...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well yes but they all need that little bit of a rest. THat's how their physiology works

that whole human geography thing-y is great fun to teach. I don't call it human sexuality - I call it human geography, since the first thing they have to do is to learn what they have and where it's located.

I once was lecturing on contraception, and a student commented that he didn't understand how condoms could be less than 100% effective. An older student - about 40 - cut in and said, "want to see a picture of my son? We used a condom..." Then, she went on to tell us that her daughter was born as a result of the diaphragm. That particular class session was hilarious.

oh i bet. And of course teh dean of math & sciences ended up in my sex lecture for non majors to do my evaluation (of all clasess..)

Wait... Women can have orgasms?!? But... My husband said...

*snicker*

Just messin with ya, and hey multiple orgasms almost make up for monthly menstruation... almost.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

almost but not quite. grumbles at body since it thought two in one month would be extra special

I suspect that more than a few eyes were opened. Hopefully, they remember and use the info!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

one hopes.

God gave Adam the ability to stand and urinate. Adam thought that this was a novel way to write his name in the snow. Eve wanted a toy, too, so God gave her multiple orgasms.

Another version of the joke ends with God giving Eve brains. Either way, I think it's a good joke. ;-D

I've got a million of 'em. ;-D Ok, maybe not but I do have a notebook beside the computer to write down stuff like that. :-D I have a large collection of jokes and always look for more.

Ah, see - I read the fanfic. Women always have multiple orgasms within thirty seconds, and men can always manage it a second time without any sort of recovery. Sex is always never short of wonderful…

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

we should all be so lucky, right?

[rahirah]

Snerk. Now I'm remembering john Cleese--"Oh, straight to the clitoris! What about a little kiss, hmmm?"

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Snort. I stopped just about short of that. Maybe next semester
