When the female is willing.  Some male orangs resort to rape, and that is
performed on the ground.  Female orangs rarely become pregnant from rape,
though.

Orangutans have prehensile feet, giving them the equivalent of four hands.
I suggest that you employ some type of safety harness.

Also, I'd said that the record-holder among mammals was some rodent, but
it's really a marsupial "mouse" (the duration was twelve hours).  Marsupials
are definitely not second-class mammals!

If I'd known that a tie were a magic amulet against twisting your
ankle, I'd have done a lot less limping in my life.  (Then again, if
it isn't tied tightly enough, it might slip off your ankle and catch
on your foot, which could result in a twisted ankle.)

Well, in case it makes you feel better, I don't this is always (or even
usually the case).  I think most men tend to be much more interested in
sex towards the beginning of a relationship (in a cynical mood, I might
say that it usually reaches its peak shortly before the relationship
starts), while there is a much greater tendency for women to desire sex
more and more strongly as they become more comfortable and secure with
their partners--if memory serves (and there are some darned good memories
there), all of the women I've been involved with have become steadilly
more interested in sex as the relationship progressed.  (Indeed, even the
few who initially complained that my sex drive was too high tended to 
outstrip me within a few months.)

Trygve    (Not that I objected to being outstripped--actually it was
           a lot of fun.)

>Now THAT'S a shame! :(

Huh? High heels are the female equivalent of ties on men: pointless,
uncomfortable adornment, to be worn only when the situation demands it
(ie when people will get really offended if you don't). Lucky me, the
last time I wore a suit or tie was June 21st, 1991 and the time before
was December 2nd, 1989 - for weddings. It would be nice if people
didn't feel they had to live up to other people's expectations on how
they should dress. However sometimes it DOES make a difference, in
part because the first impression people get is usually a visual
impression, and subsequent behavior may be decided by that first
impression.

There's been a lot of talk about non-conformists. Me, I wear what I
feel comfortable wearing in the particular situation: day-to-day wear
is mostly court shoes, jeans and so-called business shirts.
Phillyboinkers may also see the infamous felt hat that protects my
head when it's cold or intensely sunny. What I wear is practical,
comfortable and inexpensive. Probably about 2/3 of the student body
here wears jeans on any given day. Does that make me a conformist or a
pragmatist?

I've never been reduced to this level, but I have to admit that my life
wouldn't be nearly as simple if someone hadn't invented those checks
that come with a pressure-sensitive form underneath each check, so that
you can't lose track of what you've written.  I'd probably be a little
bit more organized if someone else's funds were in the same account-
but I'd much prefer to have separate accounts.  (My bank also offers
a nifty 800 number which you can call to check whether specific checks
have been cashed.  I LOVE technology.)

"Putting up with"?  Hmmm...this would definitely lend credence to your
theory above.

>Personally, I believe that sexual duration is a valuable asset. :)

Sometimes--though a lot of women can find it intimidating or even deleterious
to their egos (the reasoning being, as far as I can tell, "if he doesn't get
off right away, there must be something wrong with me."  Of course this could
be a result of past partners telling them that the reason they went off after
twenty seconds was because they were so appealing).  (Of course this observation
is coming from someone who has traditionally had the opposite problem, so it
may be a bit skewed.)

Trygve    (Still, you may well be right--at least if the percentage of sexual
           partners that I've had who haven't done (or at least enjoyed) 
           even very simple and basic techniques in the past is any indication.)
