...time at 16, to deposit him in Australia for a four-year stretch of school-mastering in the rough-and-tumble outback. Havelock roughed it, but he was a dud as a teacher. As he later reported with clinical detachment in his autobiography, he experienced his first diurnal, involuntary orgasm in Australia (while reading the Dames Galantes of Brant...
...From Here to Eternity, fornication in the surf has become the desideratum, so that the brief tussle in the sea foam has now become a standard image of suggestion, and when the waves keep on breaking in, all by themselves, you know what's happening.

Often such couples rate high on the Kinsey scale of sexual activity: Dr. Javert holds that orgasm predisposes to uterine contractions and premature labor, therefore forbids intercourse during pregnancy. Granting that much remains co be learned about the workings of sex hormones, he is dead set against using stilbestrol, a synthetic drug on which many obstetricians rely heavily...
