Advice for the Hello Poet "Midnight" on failing to achieve satisfaction in love making.  Take : 1 ripe man & 1 ripe woman; a glass or two of wine; a little oil; a generous handful of time; a flat surface for rolling out on; a few sweet words of decoration.

Proceed as follows:
Pour wine into two glasses.
Drink a little from time to time.
Remove outer garments from
the man and woman carefully.
Set them aside.
Check the skin for any
remaining garments,
remove slowly, assessing each
area uncovered for damage.
Any damage may be removed
at this stage by careful application
of lips to the area. Place
undergarments with outer
garments for use later. Feel
remaining flesh all over for
less obvious signs of damage.
If whole and unbruised, rub
all over generously with oil:
then lay out flat. Wait for the
man to rise fully. The man
and woman are now ready.
Let them prove themselves,
turning occasionally. Judge
when they are done by how
they feel. They should be very
hot, sticky and very damp.
Sprinkle with sweet words.
Leave to rest before returning
to original under and outer garments.
