Why’s it deflowering when there’re no flowers involved? And does it matter if you come or go when you’ve not moved? And, come to think of it, when did it become “cum” instead of “come”? The word in Japanese I’m referring to is 行く[“iku”] which, on one level, is a polite word for going somewhere; on another it’s what they cry out when they’ve achieved orgasm: “Ah! Iku! Iku!” As far as exploration of unknown spaces goes, well, who better to quote than James Kirk, even if he does split his infinitives?
