Orgasm Experiments

This morning, after finishing the New York Times Magazine cover story, about a Sex Ed teacher who encourages his students to have good sex, I picked up the New Yorker Magazine Food Issue and was deep into a piece called "Sacred Grounds" by Kelefa Sanneh - an exploration of the high-end gourmet coffee market.


Midway, I read; "At boutique cafes, customers liked the idea of paying a premium for a premium cup, especially if the cup came with a story about a plucky farmer's daughter and her orgasm experiments."

Orgasm experiments?? With coffee beans??  Hold the phone!  Of course, the written word was organic.  But might there be plucky a farmer's daughter out there doing orgasm experiments?  I'll have to ask my email-buddy, Mary Roach, whose own investigations into orgasm experiments led to her wonderfully funny book, BONK.
