Side Door
Do you remember the night we met? We barely said a word, just danced. You asked for my name and I told you. I asked for yours, you replied, but the music drowned it out.

'Arcana' for the SNES
Arcana was one of the SNES games I found at the flea market.

Car Sex: The Where's and How's
If you and your partner have gotten a little bored in the bedroom, but don't really want to break out the fuzzy handcuffs and paddle, I have a solution for you! Car sex. I know what you're thinking: I am a grown man/woman. I have a perfectly good bedroom, with a door that locks, and plenty of space to move around. Why would I try to get it on in the back seat of my cramped car? I say don't knock it until you try it. Plenty of couples get bored of sex because they sort of fall into a routine with it. Lock the door, get naked, bang one out using the same three positions you like, then go to bed. If that is how you guys want to have a relationship, I think that's great, and honestly, if you have kids as well as a demanding job, sometimes a routine is all you can manage. But if I've said it before I'll say it a million times: try new things with your partner! Doing it in the car can be fun and I guarantee you will feel young again!
