Over dinner with girlfriends, one bemoaned her reduced sex life. ‘He is just too tired when he comes home from work,’ she said. ‘We only have sex on Sunday afternoons now.’
‘My boyfriend let me know that sex can’t be forced when I attempted to make the first move,’ another friend revealed. We guessed that stress and work pressures were the main reasons for some men thinking that a night of pleasure is defined by a good night’s sleep.

They say that if you bring a TV into your bedroom it will destroy your sex life. I recently woke up in the middle of the night with a half-melted Minstrel stuck to my bottom. By the morning I noticed chocolate smears on The White Company sheet and duvet cover. Hot Danish has got into the habit of bringing chocolate into bed along with his Mac and Blackberry.

A friend sympathised. ‘My boyf sleeps with a Blackberry, iPhone and iPad,’ she said. ‘I hate his iPad,’ she continued. ‘I call it the Other Woman. If I’m watching something on his iPad, he’ll stop snoring and wake up to tuck it into bed as soon as I’m finished with it. Rather like a mother with a sixth sense about her infant even while she sleeps.’

Perhaps my friend isn’t far off the truth. Now that a lot of men work 10 to 12-hour days, they are too exhausted to contemplate an affair with the secretary. When they need to switch off from mundane life, they switch on their Mac/iPad and break open a bar of chocolate (there are also chocolate marks on HD’s Mac)… I just wonder why Galaxy hasn’t updated its advert yet.
