A four-panel SMBC comic. A shirtless man with curly reddish hair lies in bed with a woman. Panel 1, the man says 'Wow, really? You... you already...' and she replies 'Yes, my love.' Panel 2, he philosophizes: 'With each halving of our lovemaking, we approach an infinity of love in our finite lifespan.' Panel 3, he clarifies what he means: 'Every time we have sex, I take half as long to orgasm.' Panel 4, the woman, exasperated, says 'Please PLEASE can we talk about this instead of pretending you're doing a math thing?' The man answers, 'I am prepared to talk for half as long as last time.' The joke recasts premature ejaculation as a Zeno's-paradox-style infinite series. Votey: a sketch of the man's head with the caption 'I am Zeno's doinker.'
