There's an "old wives' tale" about men, urination, and arithmetic. Supposedly if you are having trouble urinating (perhaps in a public place, like a stadium bathroom) you can make yourself go by doing sums in your head.

If you mean me, than my PM is totally unrelated to this thread. It was written a week ago and I am trying Rita to read it, because she didn't provide her e-mail address, so she can't be notified about PMs.

I'm not sure about this line of reasoning. There isn't that much nooky in Star Trek.

I just keep thinking, "water, water, water" in my head and that works for me. Sometimes, I just turn on the sink and the running water does the trick.

Map: this produced greater labial excitation (as defined by skin resistance)

Did they determine the labial excitation by measuring skin resistance? What kind of resistance, to electricity? I could just see the wires connected to ... umm, labia, while the subject is trying to get the square root of a prime.

While on the subject: I test drove two cars yesterday, a 2005 Lexus ES330 and a 2004 Toyota Avalon. My main criteria is noise isolation, soft ride, and comfort, but I wasn't sure which vehicle was better. So, I thought, why not use a device that measures both the noise and the smootheness of a ride. Something like a gyroscope with a microphone. Wouldn't that be great for consumers? I guess one could also use it as a sex toy.

Arjun: What is the goal of this thread?

Sounds to me like Map is just flexing her muscles.

Nah, just the last week MD was so boring, so I felt a need to post something bad. This was the worst and most meaningless piece of info I could find.

Nice to see you, John. I started to worry, where did you go.

As far as interspecies nooky is concerned, I think the reasons are pretty clear: Vulcans only do it once every 7 years, KLingons consider biting that draws blood an act of foreplay and as for Ferengi...

From a guy's point of view, (fool)hardy is he who would stick his in a unfamiliar orifice. If going where no hu-man has gone before means this, the Federation can count me out.
