After hearing a couple’s complaints that their intimate life wasn’t what it used to be, the sex counsellor suggested they vary their position. “For example,” he suggested, “you might try the wheelbarrow. Lift her legs, penetrate, and off you go.”

The eager husband was all for trying this new idea as soon as they got home.

“Well, OK,” the hesitant wife agreed, “but on two conditions. First if it hurts, you will stop right away, and second,” she insisted. “You have to promise we won’t go past my mother’s.”
