There can be no doubt about it, sex is therapeutic. If you’re feeling low, it can perk you up. Lacking energy? It can give you a quick boost. Got a headache? Ah, well. It’s one of life’s little ironies that, according to folklore, the excuse women most commonly use for avoiding sex is the very thing that sex might cure. But for most other trivial complaints, sex can at least alleviate the symptoms. I’m surprised it’s not available on the NHS at the point of delivery. Feeling under the weather? Pop down to the surgery and screw the receptionist. In our case, that’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. Ours is hot stuff and, by all accounts, very obliging - although unfortunately only outside office hours. I am blessed that my darling Emma sees sex as a cure for almost everything. If she declines - indeed if she fails to take the initiative - then she really is quite poorly. I can’t recall what ailment (if any) we were trying to cure when this picture was taken. And that, surely, is my point.
