Programming Language Wars

July 21st, 2007

Human beings love to argue. Whether the argument is about boxers vs. briefs, ketchup vs. mustard, or Ginger vs. Mary Ann, people will take a position and argue.

But just like the G-spot, when people couldn’t figure out the whole orgasmic program in five minutes flat, it quickly and quietly disappeared into the “too complicated” basket… until now.

Sex therapists have recently resurrected Extended Sexual Orgasm (ESO) – and are seeing some spectacular results. What’s changed? The fact is, we’re far more sex-savvy now than ever before. So let’s get started.
