““The efficient orgasm is the most productive moment of the day, because, apocalyptically, it has wiped the slate clean, and no one will ever know about it. What are you going to do now? Most of the time you could go back to reading. Some of the time you fantasize about a ragtag group of strangers thrown together by circumstance who go on a quest for some orgasm big enough to leave them wanting something different than they wanted before. Like what? Gross food? Ugly stuff? Feeling like crap? Not understanding anything? All you do is lie in bed with no underwear, trying to think of something bigger and better.””
