After an arrogant encounter with Bernie at a night club, Joan (who crosses the most neurotic and presumptuous qualities of a college preppie and a Victorian school marm) wallows through the play tangled in a carefully cultivated hatred of men, particularly those who have problems with premature orgasm...
...popper fad began among homosexuals, who first used amyl nitrite to enhance sexual pleasure. The drug dilates blood vessels, lowers blood pressure and, by distorting time perceptions, gives a sense of prolonging orgasm.

Marriage is invaded by advisers on "the joy of sex" and the proper mix of "love and orgasm...
