...I never knew nipples required such a high CPU load.

So what sort of stuff did he discuss? Anything interesting?

Mostly stuff that I would have been a bitch and argued with, if it was an actual prof as opposed to someone I felt mildly sorry for. Especially the quoted studies. So many, as usual, had large holes.
If you say, for instance, that release of oxytocin while giving birth helps cause lactation, as a lecturer at that point I'd expect you to know that oxytocin is a regularily released hormone in women, and for me to *not* have to explain that relatively large amounts are released during orgasm.
I made one comment and dropped it. I'll deal with these discussions next quarter in human sexuality.

Gah. I hate having to feel sorry for lecturers...

(But now I'm just getting strange trains of thought. Perhaps the real purpose of releasing oxytocin during orgasm is to trigger the first steps of lactation, namely increasing the CPU allocation to the nipples, so they can drive the mind control beams.

I am now imagining nipples with small, built-in LEDs starting to flash and perhaps beep a bit during orgasm. This is just odd.)
