...spectators. There is Innocence, for example, which contains what is probably the longest description of oral sex in the history of literature. (This story decidedly did not appear in The New Yorker.) For page after page a Harvard undergraduate named Wiley tries to bring his stubbornly unresponsive girlfriend to orgasm: "The whitish bubbling, the splash of her discontinuous physical response: those waves, ah, that wake rose, curled outward, bubbled, and fell. Rose, curled outward, bubbled, and fell." Little in this prose marathon is particularly erotic or offensive; it is possible for long periods of time to forget entirely what...

Some women have orgasms without contractions, and the white coats smile down and say, "Sorry, we can't count those because we can't measure them." Same old stuff of males using science to define and control women...
