I'm sure you've heard the advice given to men, about how they can keep from ejaculating too quickly by the method of thinking about baseball... Reading a reference to this in a recent review reminds me of this monologue of Woody Allen's from back in his days as a standup comedian:
Quote:
I have to explain this very delicately, 'cause it's really tentative. As I... as I am an inordinately... passionate... man. Volatile. Sensual. In general a stud. When making love... when making love... in an effort...to prolong... the moment of ecstasy... I think of baseball players. All right, now you know. The two of us are making love violently, she's digging it, I figure I better start thinking of ballplayers quickly. So I figure it's one out, the ninth, the Giants are up. Mays lines a single to right, he takes second on a wild pitch. Now she is digging her nails into my neck. I decided to pinch-hit for McCovey. Alou pops out. Haller singles, Mays holds third. Now I got a first-and-third situation. Two out, the Giants are behind one run. I don't know whether to squeeze or steal.
She's been in the shower for ten minutes, already. This is too...I can't tell you anymore, this is too personal. The Giants won.
