I forget the name of the protagonist of Eiger and Loo, but I do 
recall that he had been trained in certain oriental ejaculation 
controll techniques, which rendered moot the fact that he brought to 
the table a plumbing ensemble described as "average".

I am as much at a loss to explain my recollection of this as I am 
astonished to find Trevanian heads on the Plist. Don't get me wrong, 
Loo and Eiger were great pulp works for a teen working on english as 
a second language.
