Still traveling with family, with very limited opportunities to get online. I did find a connection at a ferry landing so here goes.
In a post called “Ten Ways Giving Up on Perfection May Save Your Love Life” Em & Lo say
#4 Your O-face Try not to think about what you look or sound like during your orgasm, or else you’ll never climax again. Also, we guarantee that what looks like a constipated ape face to you is a total turn-on for your partner. Okay, we don’t guarantee that. But we 80% guarantee it, which is close enough to perfection, remember?
Yup. Like pretty much everything else about humans there’s a range of ways to have orgasms too. But for the most part people who are having an orgasm look way less like anything you see in the movies (porn or Hollywood) and way more like a cross between needing to sneeze and trying to quickly multiply two three-digit numbers in your head.
Even if it wasn’t a turn-on (it is) it would be awesome. In the the figurative sense of “really cool” but also in the literal sense of “inspiring awe.”
And here’s the trick: if you spend time thinking about how you look? Your partner will never get to see it. Which, if you’ve ever seen your partner come, you have to admit isn’t any more fair to them than not having one is to you.
The other nine items are dead-on too. Go check it out either on their blog or cross-posted on their Sundance Channel blog.

Sounds a lot like Kevin Kline’s orgasm face from “A Fish Called Wanda,” actually.
Seriously, I can’t imagine

Worrying about how you look smacks of sex-as-something-you-perform in the “acting” sense and not something that happens when you’re totally caught up in the action. And yeah, having an orgasm with someone puts you in a position of vulnerability, which is a pretty cool experience to share with another person…
