“Sure, but surely 2 orgasms are better than 1, so, since you’re at 1⁄399 for turning into a whale, and a single orgasm is equal to 1⁄400 chance of turning into a whale, so wouldn’t two orgasms be good enough to at least require 1⁄398 chance of turning into a whale?”
“Not tonight honey, I’ve determined that I have a 1⁄399 chance of being a whale!”
“What if I give you two orgasms?”
“Sorry, my utility function isn’t linear in orgasms!”
Doesn’t have to be. Two orgasms is almost certainly better than a 1⁄399 whale-day if you are indifferent between one orgasm and 1⁄400 whale day.
In other words, that’s some pretty intense nonlinearity you’ve got there.
Can’t wait till I have time to write my linearity post...
Should be straightforward.
Only locally.

I’d like that, but let’s stay on topic here.
