Insomnia Thread

[QUOTE=Magrus]Ha, I liked Lina's flexible schedule. She could do in to work at 9am, or at 2pm. Sooo, if I ended up waking her up early to play, so long as I didn't wear her out she could go into work later. Or if I kept her up until 5-6am, she could sleep until 1pm and then head off to work. It was nice.

I couldn't do that with other people, although, I used to tease Jen mercilessly before class. I'd be attacked when her classes let out too. Like being pounced on by a 100lb kitten out of nowhere.

just like calvin and hobbes eh?

aren't you the evil one..

oh, i should go to sleep but i don't feel like it atm..

Magrus · Post by **Magrus** » Thu May 19, 2005 12:30 pm

Yeah....except that was a cartoon cat and didn't put me up against walls and make demands on how things needed to be done. Fiesty little girl. Real shame Jen and I didn't work out. Grr for stupid pride.

Evil? Evil?! She loved every minute of it.

Although, she made me stay away from her during mid-terms and finals. The whole school thing being important and all. I told her I could teach her everything that was important to know if I had 8 hours a day alone with her. If not for her two art classes....I think she might have taken me up on it. I could teach history, english, along with basic math and science. I'd just have to see to it we actually spent time attempting to do so, and I think that was why she didn't take me up on the offer. Shame too.

Now I'm all nostalgic, and you don't feel like sleep. I should be seeing Kimmy soon, no clue if we are doing anything together today or not.

I have insomnia, but I don't use that as an excuse to spam message boards.

If my head is clear enough, I try to be productive when I can't sleep. If I'm exhausted but just can't sleep, I try to relax. I can play Zuma in my sleep.

I don't know whether to envy you or pity you. If falling asleep is that easy for you, it must be nice. But losing consciousness immediately after coitus, or only one orgasm? I don't think I'd be willing to pay that price for sleep.

Who says she only gets one? Isn't sex usually defined by the male orgasm- women can (potentially) have as many as they want, right?

Do we really want to get into that discussion? If so, that's a person to person basis and open to a lot of discussion.

There's only so much you can do at certain times of the day. I get harrassed by cops wandering around at night, that's no fun. I can't clean the house at night, I wake up the dogs and they wake everyone in a three house radius up.

Where do you live Mag, Manhattan? There is almost always something going on, so I'm surprised you're short things to do. If you're in one of the outer boroughs, well maybe then I could see. However, it is "the city that never sleeps".

Magrus · Post by **Magrus** » Thu May 19, 2005 2:15 pm

*chuckles* I live about 350 miles northeast of Manhatten, can't stand that city. No, I'm surrounded by apple farms and rednecks. The only thing that is open for 5 miles around me after 9 is a rundown gas station where you can get fried chicken, gas and a bag all at the same place, 24-7.

You're making a lot of assumptions. But of course, I'm making assumptions, too. For instance, I'm assuming that the female's hormones are released when the female has an orgasm, not when the male has an orgasm. You seem to be assuming the opposite, which really strikes me as bizarre. Are you really suggesting that a woman falls asleep when a man has an orgasm? I'm also assuming that when the hormones are released, the female falls asleep shortly thereafter. Therefore, I assume that means she falls asleep shortly after the first orgasm, which means there won't be any more orgasms.

Hold on, there's too many assumptions here. I thought you meant that CE (or women generally) were limited to only one orgasm a night. And I know, in theory of course, that that doesn't have to be true. Guys pretty much always get one orgasm, but women can possibly have more than one (a lot more than one). All I can say is that, as far as orgasms are concerned, the more the merrier!

@Magrus

I thought you lived in NYC! Where upstate do you live? I grew up upstate, (in Washington County) so I'm kinda curious. (If you don't want to post it on the web, I understand).

Edit- As an aside, it's threads like this (and CM's hair removal thread) that make posting at SYM so great!

What I meant in my original post to CE is that I feel sorry for a woman who falls alseep after only one orgasm.

Magrus · Post by **Magrus** » Thu May 19, 2005 2:42 pm

Me ex's would laugh at you about your assumptions on male orgasms Cuch.

Myself, I don't usually go past 3 or so.

Generally I've found girls CAN go through more than guys, for whatever reason that is I don't know. I've been with girls that are done after one, and I've been with girls that will go past 20 in a "session". Depends on the girl, the sex and the partner I suppose.

I live about 30 miles east of Rochester, you know where Wayne county is?

Cuchulain82 · Post by **Cuchulain82** » Thu May 19, 2005 2:47 pm

The ever elusive female orgasm. This article seems fitting. As far as I can tell, it is hugely variable from one girl to the next. Some are lucky to have one, and for others it can be an almost constant experience (I shudder to think about that

).

@Magrus

I know where Wayne county is, kindof. It's in the bleak, middle part of the state, right? Not much going on except the thruway and an indian casino that doesn't serve booze... I almost went to school at U of Rochester, but then I considered 9 months of lake effect snow...

Magrus · Post by **Magrus** » Thu May 19, 2005 2:52 pm

Yeah, your right. Drunks, farmers, drug dealers, factories and migrant workers here is all. I wish we had 9 months of snow here. No, it's closer to 4-5 months.

My mother works as an accountant for a hospital under the U of R's control. Good school, are you going to med school? It's known for it's research on heart problems and such I do believe.

My last two ex's were the latter type you described Cuch, very, very fun. Certain types of clothing were enough to set them off at times. I was terribly evil abusing that in public.

Dearie me, what started off as an insomnia thread has now become a discussion of sex and geography.

Only in SYM

Before I started with philosophy, way back in the day (you know, before Pentium 3's and generic mp3 players) I wanted to study Chemestry. I won some awards in high school from U or R- one from Baush and Lomb, another from Kodak. They were worth about $8,000 at the time, but only if I went to U of R. Tuition and room and board, however, put it over $30,000, and that was too much to pay to live in Rochester for 4 years.

I'm actually surprised you find girls at all up there. I grew up in the extreme Eastern part of the state (East of Albany) and finding a girl I could connect with, let alone an attractive, willing participant, was a real difficulty.

Magrus · Post by **Magrus** » Thu May 19, 2005 3:01 pm

You obviously get enough sleep and wouldn't understand.

The mind wanders endlessly once you've stayed up for weeks on end with no sleep. It just doesn't work properly afterwards.

@ Cuch, Philosophy huh? I've always been interested with that, but knew if I tried studying it, I'd just make my constant pondering worse.

I have an odd tendency to import girls from other areas...long story. Friends of friends show up and get attached and don't go home and stay with me is the usual thing. It is hard though, and finding one you can stay with...well...I haven't had any luck yet.

There was one girl from near albany, used to strip to the song "Reptile" by NIN. Fun girl, strange though.

The school is very expensive, and it's really not worth it unless you're a med student who wants to stay local or get into one of their specialties they have. I'd have gotten a discount for going there, I thought about it years ago, things changed with my life though that prevented it.

Cuchulain82 · Post by **Cuchulain82** » Thu May 19, 2005 3:09 pm

The above article is from the New York Times, so that makes it somewhat reputable. It's not about the brain, but I would like to hear someone think about it with a relatively scientific *cough*CE*cough* point of view...

VonDondu · Post by **VonDondu** » Thu May 19, 2005 3:23 pm

That article is so full of double-talk, I can't make sense of it. For example, on the one hand, women select a partner who has the best genetic traits, but on the other hand, they go looking for other men who can offer better genes for their offspring. Huh? Or on the one hand, Dr. Lloyd argues in her book that female orgasms have no evolutionary function at all, but on the other hand, "Dr. Lloyd said there was no doubt in her mind that the c1itoris was an evolutionary adaptation, selected to create excitement, leading to sexual intercourse and then reproduction." I'm so confused. Must be lack of sleep.

Magrus · Post by **Magrus** » Thu May 19, 2005 3:26 pm

I got hit with a screen that said "register now" and said "screw this". They're fun for me and whoever I'm enjoying them with, that's good enough for me.

[QUOTE=VonDondu]That article is so full of double-talk...[/QUOTE]
ha! Well, I must confess, I didn't read it thoroughly

The female orgasm is like the lost city of El Dorado- it might be there, but sending me to look for it is pointless (if I find it, I find it). I have to look at new articles for my job, and that was a link in one of the Times' pages. It fit so well, I thought I would post it.
