I'm a bit bewildered here - we're talking about human beings, right?  In
this universe, the one where the sky is blue and getting from 0-60 fastest
is not considered an accomplishment except among circle jerk devotees? (I
should perhaps write devote's as I can't imagine the female equivalent).
Where many a young man walks around with the engine running while many a
young woman wishes her lover would adjust the mirrors, check the oil,
squeegee the windows, and rub on a fresh coat of turtle wax before taking
her out for a Sunday drive?

Maybe I and my heterosexual male friends and all the sex-column writers
have been misled by feminist theorists into believing men should learn to
go slow and indulge in foreplay, and our observations that doing so is
appreciated were colored by the aforesaid propaganda, and maybe our
partners were misled into believing that they shouldn't have an orgasm-
centered view of sex when in fact they should expect to come effortlessly
every time.  Maybe I should go rent some porn to pick up pointers.
