Very boring, and something to be avoided. After you get your nut, you still have to take her out to dinner.
all sanguid and full belly, the maitre di gives you money for the meal
you are about to regurgitate onto the plates which go to the cooks
to be uncooked into its constituent parts, meat becomes alive,
scrambled eggs re-assemble into full eggs, etc. But before all that,
you have been to her place, when you make love she squirts semen
into your body while you have a reverse orgasm and you slowly
stop, start what is now postplay, get up and go to work,
disassembling parts at the car factory, taking fully working autos
apart, unmilling engines back into blocks of metal, etc!

Suppose you were in a universe where time ran in reverse,
you have sex. What would that feel/be like?
Defining (loosley) time as movement.

Assuming reversed causality. Now THAT, would do some strange things to reality. (strange for us :-) )
that the fate of the universe is to die an entropy death, galaxies
going farther and farther apart, eventually even protons evaporating
into quarks, etc.)
That universe would start coming together, protons assemble
themselves from primadorial stuff, galaxies form, trillions of light
years apart, then they start attracting together and eventually ends
up in our time, 13.7 billion years from the big bang, except in reverse
it would be headed to a big crunch. In that scenerio the sun goes
from being a dwarf star, the forces of it nova going backwards
reassembles Sol, the planets form from the blasted hunks they
became back to being regular planets, earth goes from being
scortched to livable, meanwhile thats where you came in, having
sex in reverse, going to dinner, going back to work at the auto plant
disassmbling new autos into its components, etc.
So how you are born, you are in the grave, they dig you up,
in a nice ceremony you come to life, do your whole life in reverse, you
see your kids go from being say, 60 year olds, to younger and younger
versions, eventually the kid turns into an infant and squishes its way
back into mommy's womb and 9 months later you have that fateful
sex......

Just taking one of the theories, that the universe will continue to
expand into nothingness and running the movie in reverse.

Anyone ever read Time's Arrow by Martin Amis? Its the story of a guy's life told in reverse, starting with death and ending with birth. It has some neat explanations for how things would work if time went backwards, like factory smokestacks actually purify the air, or doctors give you money to make you sick. Very interesting, quick read.

There is actually an episode of Red Dwarf (British Sci-fi/comedy series) in which the crew land on a world where time runs in reverse. They are hounded off the planet for starting a bar tidy-up (think about it) because one of the main characters accidentally regurgitates someone else's food! It is also covered in the novel of the series, where a character helpfully pulls an axe out of a man's back, only to discover that he has in fact killed him. As is pointed out, in this version of reality, Hitler is good, withdrawing across Europe ressurecting thousands of dead people. On the other hand Santa Claus enters children's houses every year and removes their favourite toys!
