LOVE SICK & BED BOUND
As the weather heats up, so it seems do our libidos and by some strange coincidence our ability to be struck down suddenly by any number of debilitating illnesses … A recent Channel 4 news story revealed that the number of firms hit by workers pulling a ‘sickie’ soared at the first glimpse of the sun. A survey of 7,000 employers showed that almost four out of five reported staff absences during the recent bout of hot weather, believing workers were tempted to take time off to enjoy the sunshine.
SEX DRIVE
As well as the more sensible health and mood-enhancing benefits of sunshine, there are, of course, numerous other more frivolous reasons to enjoy extra sunlight. The payoff for spending longer periods of time in the sunshine can also travel as far as the bedroom too. Time and again, Research has shown that, by increasing melanin levels, exposure to sunlight can help to improve both your own and your man’s sex drive. Soon you’ll be putting all those dreary winter memories of mood swings and loss of libido behind you as you embark on more than your fair share of hot summer loving. Whether you choose to partake in your sexual activities outside in the sunshine, however, is something you do completely at your own risk…
DARK SECRET
Nobel Laureate James Watson was keeping quiet last month after reportedly claiming in a lecture that dark-skinned people have a stronger libido than fair-skinned people (and that fat people are unambitious). In his lecture, Watson reported the results of experiments in which men were injected with melanin and experienced increased sex drive. He argued that exposure to sunlight would increase melanin levels and produce a surge in libido.
So, is it worth the risk of getting caught out ‘pulling a sickie’ for a spot of afternoon delight…? Does the element of danger turn you on? Where is the riskiest place you have ever had a romantic tryst? Why is it that we find being ‘naughty’ so thrilling? …

It’s true the warmer weather is doing crazy things with my libido. A bout of “afternoon delight” keeps coming into my head, but danger is to become too addicted to the bunking off for a sexual tryst. Mind you, Autumn’s round the corner isn’t it, and that has to be the unsexiest season of the year.

maybe you should make the most of it ‘getting it while it’s hot’ in the summer months! I know what you mean about Autumn though, there is something about leaves drooping and falling off trees and a general slowing down and covering up… We just have far too few full on sunny days where we can give ourselves over to a bit of gay abandon!

Oh, don’t worry. I’m milking my man for as much as I can get. If he’s not walking around looking like a withered, shagged out shell by the end of the week, my mission’s failed.
