Mental pain and physical pleasure
When I was younger (14-15) and knew about the mechanics of sex, but not the reality, I thought sex was a very serious business. That you'd get judged on it, you needed to practice, that it was an art like any other. And I suppose to some degree that's right.

But what I also thought was that there wasn't room for laughter, giggling and fun - it was all 'deadly serious'. A turn-on and a wonderful feeling but serious.

This misconception was mostly dispelled by my first few partners... and disappeared completely the day I managed to make my boyfriend lose the game (yes, The Game - see here) about 0.0001 of a second before orgasm.

There are few things as hilarious in life as someone crying out and writhing in pleasure while calling you a bastard and trying to say that they just lost the game without breaking into a fit of giggles too.

This Is why I cant be a top news reader for the beeb
the temptation would be too great, to begin with
"good evening, our top story tonight is that everyone playing the game has just lost"

I would chuckle all the way to the dole queue

I'm sure that everyone on the internet would worship the ground you walk on.

You bastard,

Fun
Could be worse... imagine if you associated the game with orgasm and lost it *every* time you came.

Of course, in a Pavlov-like situation... you might then be able to orgasm every time you lost the game. That would either be awesome or tragic, I don't know which.
