Games Should Be Like Female Orgasms

Gamers with Jobs has an excellent look at the pacing of games, and their resemblance to sexual response cycles. From the article: "The female sexual response cycle appears as a gradual (sometimes maddeningly so) upward slope from excitement to orgasm, with several 'false peaks' in the plateau region. Anyone who's ever performed cunnilingus while kneeling on a hardwood floor can attest to the validity of this representation. The male cycle differs radically. The transition from excitement to plateau in men is rather rapid, represented by a near-vertical line. The plateau stage is then almost horizontal for varying amounts of time (see: premature ejaculation) followed by another extremely rapid ascent into orgasm. Playing video games often reminds me of the above."

The only "discussion" it really seems to have provoked is whether Zonk should be fired or not.

I think he should be. This "article" he linked and quoted says absolutely nothing interesting or new about gaming, while selecting the most vulgar and juvenile metaphor available to make a rather stale point.

games.slashdot.org should be doing stories about games. If I wanted to read about women getting vaginal juices all over hardwood floors, I would be browsing porn sites. There's bound to be enough perverts out there with a "floor wetting" fettish for there to be several sites catering to their desires.
