Guys, are you proud of your gaming skills? Maybe you shouldn't be...

C'mon, how hard is it to apply all that manual dexterity in bed?

Just think of it as a game... maybe pinball. Try to keep your ball in play and shoot as many high-point targets as you can without shaking the table too much. Get as many jackpots as you can so you can beat your high score.

I always thought of it as a game of Tetris myself: Rack up the maximum number of points while staying alive as long as you can. Massive combos are harder and riskier to pull off, but lead to greater rewards, but there's nothing necessarily wrong with settling for quick, consecutive strikes. Let things pile up too much and you're out. The game speeds up as you go along, and no matter how good you are it inevitably comes to an end.

Oh, and it's a timeless classic that you want to revisit again and again, no matter how many times you've played.

This post is just so full of win... Wow... You know you're cool , right?

Actually, I notice a bunch of really glaring holes in the Tetris analogy, but that line of thinking may be a key element into the validity of this article.

This about it; most games have a clear cut set of rules and objective for winning, and in many cases, winning "faster" is considered a better achievement. If a score is achievable in the game, it will usually be clear what events contribute what amounts to the score, and those events will remain consistent through any further ventures through that game.

Now compare that to pleasing a woman; No woman is the same or responds the same way to any technique, her pleasure centers are spread all over the place as opposed to how a guy has the majority of them focused to one area. There are emotional considerations that affect the woman's pleasure as well. On top of that, a guy has to maintain a balance between "enjoying it enough" and not "enjoying it too much" because straying outside of either side can lead him unable to continue properly. As far as "scoring" goes, it is possible for the woman to lie about what she wants, and even change her mind or tastes about what she wants from day to day. Rather than finishing quickly, the goal is to extend the lenght of time as much as possible BUT to still eventually reach the end.

Essentially, a good gamer has to constantly be in a state of "I know what I'm doing" whereas a good lover must constantly be in a state of "what should I be doing?"
