Why not start her off with a nice kiss? You don't have to go leaping straight for the clitoris like a bull at a gate – give her a kiss, boy!. And every time I kept on thinking about the famous classroom scene from " Monty Python's The Meaning of Life" where John Cleese admonishes an eager student during a sex ed class: He sticks his head under her skirts while she leans against a ladder in a dark spot at the end of a marble hall and her breath catches. In a ribald montage that follows, Daphne and Simon get it on vis-à-vis all manner of jack-hammering – ramming it here, jamming there, pounding those guts like there's no tomorrow with very little in the way of a prelude.
