Description

Here is a transcription of the text from the comic:

Title: Mathematical Sequences to Think About in Order to Delay Orgasm:

SEQUENCE	DESCRIPTION	PRO	CON
Fibonacci Sequence	1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…	Closed-form expression is difficult to memorize, necessitating boner-killing repeated addition.	Useful for calculating population growth, which may remind you of sex.
Look-and-Say Sequence	1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221…	Requires visualization, sparing your attention from erotic body parts.	May result in you accidentally saying “three ones then two twos then one one” in a husky voice.
Lazy Caterer's Sequence	1, 2, 4, 7… (maximum number of pancake pieces after n cuts, starting with n=0)	Partner will think you’re caressing their back when you’re actually drawing a diagram of lines across a circle.	Hunger for pancakes may overwhelm desire for sex entirely.
Grandy’s Series	1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1…	Was once thought to prove God’s existence, the contemplation of which will buy you one minute.	Its summation is divergent and bounded, like you are in one of your fantasies which will cost you one minute.
Geometric Sequence	1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8…	Easy to remember.	Fact that it approaches but never reaches two reminds you of the uncrossable chasm of understanding that must always persist between two people, no matter how in love.
