I know a man who loves to cuddle and talk, kiss and hug for hours before
and/or instead of intercourse.  He says the anatomy is basically the same,
that intimacy doesn't require an orgasm.

I know another man who wants to have intercourse first, then to talk 
and cuddle after.  He says "I've never had a bad orgasm".


Questions:

Does intimacy require intercourse?  For men?  For women?
Do all men "need" an orgasm before they open up?
Do all women "need" an orgasm before they open up?
Which attitude is more common of men under 30, over 30, over 40?
Which attitude is more common of women under 30, over 30, over 40?

        The only discussion ever deletd out of this file wholesale as
        being considered by managment to be inappropriate for a
        corporate document was one that delt explicitly with sex. It is
        my opinion as moderator that some of the notes in this
        discussion have wandered across the same dividing line.
        
        I am asking my comoderators to consider the propriety of this
        discussion, and whether any of the notes here ought to be
        deleted. If many of them are, it is my opinion that the
        responses that reply directly to them and which would now be
        difficult to understand probably ought to go, too.
        
        While we're discussing it, please ease up on the cute talk about
        sex. Understand that explicit talk about sex is considered to be
        objectionable by a number of people, some of whom are in upper
        management. What you see as humorous or just candid can be seen
        as abusive of corporate resources, and seen that way by people
        whose views on the matter count.
        
        As an aside, I ould avoid putting anything very explicit or
        "cute" regarding sex in a not that also contained serious
        material, as they might end up being deleted together.

485.15Moratorium declaredBRONS::BURROWSJim BurrowsFri Mar 25 1988 13:028
        This discussion has been write locked and all of the responses
        set hiddedn because the moderators are up against some real-job
        deadlines and haven't got the time to adequately review all of
        the replies here regarding their appropriateness in the
        conference. Personally, it will be at least three weeks until
        things let up for me. I'm sorry that this is a bad time.
