Poll: Come with Me

[thefourthvine]

It's time to discuss a very sensitive topic that I know you will all handle with maturity and respect for your classmates. Yes, it's time to discuss...orgasm.

I heard that, makesmewannadie. One more remark out of you and you will be staying after class, young lady. Also, fanofall? Don't think I don't see you rolling your eyes.

Yes, orgasm can be a beautiful thing. When a person (or assistive device) gives pleasure to another person, that's a lovely, selfless act, and one we - last warning, people - as mature adults can appreciate. Or mature teenagers. Whatever. 'People old enough for porn' is the concept I'm trying to get across here.

Of course, orgasm can also be, well, a little less than beautiful. Particularly in certain kinds of fictional endeavors. Because, see, sometimes a person can be reading along, and then there's a sudden incursion of screaming and fainting and smelling salts and Mr. Darcy with a riding crop, and that person might think, "Did I just take a detour from Smut Boulevard onto Victorian Novel Lane? I...wow. I didn't know you could do that in spats." Or that person might think, "Jesus, what the hell is wrong with me? I've never done that."

And yet I know some of you out there in readerland have done that, and now is the time to tell me about it.

I'm trying to assuage my own fears of serious abnormality, here. (Yes, really. Well, mostly. Well, partly, anyway. But I also tend to assume anyone I can hear laughing is laughing at me. I never said I wasn't paranoid, if you think back.) I'm also trying to figure out how often these things honestly happen, and under what circumstances. (Because I am nosy. No, there is no better reason. What reason could be better than that?) So let's remember the honor system, OK?

And, truly, no shame attached, no matter what you answer. For one thing, I included in the list items I could answer 'yes' to, and I'm not going to tell you what they were. (Well, OK. Possibly with begging. The right kind of begging. But then, the right kind of begging can get pretty much anything from me.) This should encourage those of you who can answer 'yes' to any of these to believe I'm right there with you, just in case you forgot to bring your sex-positive confidence with you today. And since I can't answer 'yes' to all or even most of them, people who can't check anything should also believe they're in good company. (You can decide for yourself if I count as good company or not.) Furthermore, no one can see your answers, and you should feel free to comment anonymously. Internet + sex + anonymity is pretty much the recipe for sharing, isn't it? So share.

(Which also means, for the record, that if you folks want to pimp this I'd be grateful. I definitely want to hear from all of you, but it'd also be very cool to get answers from people other than the Egregiously Tasteful and Talented Cohort.)

I went out with this guy who once knocked himself out cold masturbating. In the heat of the moment he sort of lurched forward and smacked his head on his dresser. His mom found him naked on the floor a few minutes later. Awkward!

LOL! You should write this into a fic. John might have done that as a kid, I think. Or hee, Rodney might *now*. :)

And this will teach me to read the whole thread before I comment. I should've realized you'd have already seen the possibilities in masturbation-related concussion. Sorry!

[sprat.livejournal.com]

Hee, no worries! Masturbation-related concussion is just that rich with potential, is all. :)

That? Is crying out to be put into a story. And SGA has just the geeks who might do that. I don't think Zelenka would, but I can see Beckett doing this at any time from his youth up to the present day. And McKay? He so would. And, knowing his luck, he'd be found by the last person he'd want to find him. Sheppard, say. And then he'd probably get pissy with Sheppard for finding him.

OK. I need some kind of accidental-head-smacking scenario to happen in FF immediately.

I know someone who did the exact. Same. Thing. His name wasn't Devin, was it? Because when it happened to Devin, he had to miss Warped Tour because he had a concussion. Oh 10th grade, I miss you.
