"An orgasm in a complicated mind is always more interesting than one in a simple mind - maybe that's not true, maybe sometimes a simple mind is made subtler and finer as it comes, since that's the most mental activity that's gone on in there for a while - but I mean an orgasm in an intelligent woman is like a volcano in a mountain with a city built on the slope - you feel the alternative opportunity cost of her orgasm, you feel the force of all the other perceptive things she could be thinking at that moment and is not thinking because she is coming, and they enrich it. You still there?"
