The Highway Code
This Highway Code applies to England, Scotland and Wales. It is essential reading for everyone: men, women, older people, younger people, persons neither old nor young, persons neither and/or both male and/or female, drivers, motorcyclists and horse riders. Please note that having sex with a horse is illegal on all British highways. Many of the rules in this code are legal requirements, and if you disobey them you may be fined, given points on your licence or disqualified from having sex altogether.
Masturbation
Masturbation is a private activity and should therefore never be undertaken on pavements, zebra crossings, pelican crossings or traffic islands. Masturbation however may be undertaken in designated dogging zones (q.v.) in which case reflective garments should be worn at all times for your own safety. You may masturbate in a parked vehicle provided that the vehicle is your own or you are a designated driver or passenger of the vehicle and the vehicle has not been broken into for these purposes, for example, because you liked the look of the leather and/or velvet and/or other upholstery. Masturbation is also acceptable in traffic jams (with vehicle moving at aggregate speeds of less than 5 mph) but orgasm must only take place when the car is stationary with the handbrake on. You are reminded that the use of mobile phones for the watching of pornography, calling of sex lines or for any other purpose, masturbatory aid or otherwise, is strictly prohibited at all times.
Sexual Intercourse (Non-Penetrative)
Sexual intercourse (non-penetrative) is defined as any sexual interaction, not involving penetration, which involves two or more individuals, one of whom is the driver. For the purposes of this Highway Code, rules for all in-vehicle sexual intercourse, penetrative or otherwise, that does not involve the driver are categorized under ‘Other Distractions Whilst in Charge of a Vehicle’. In an urban or built-up area with traffic lights, with a speed limit of 20 mph to 30 mph, and away from box junctions, manual stimulation is permitted, although only the passenger is permitted to climax while the vehicle is in motion. Extreme caution should be taken close to schools and care homes for the elderly, and when the vehicle is preparing to turn right. Along country roads, single carriageway with speed limits of up to 60 mph, it is advisable to take part in sexual exchanges only if you know the road really well. On dual carriageways and motorways, oral intercourse is permitted with additional stimulus from the left hand only. (The right hand is also allowed in conditions of fog.) The driver must maintain a good view of the road at all times. If an orgasm is oncoming please pull into the left ‘slow’ lane.
Sexual Intercourse (Penetrative)
Penetrative Sexual Intercourse (vaginal and/or anal) involving the driver is recognized by the Highways Agency as a hazardous activity which must never be undertaken in a moving vehicle. Drivers are encouraged to take advantage of designated dogging areas, as established by the 2010 Byways Usages Act (maps available). Please observe the correct signalling, as follows:
– Interior lights on, headlights off: onlookers may watch but not participate.
– Interior lights on, headlights on: onlookers are welcome to join in – knock or hoot for admittance.
– Interior lights off, headlights on: onlookers are not welcome in any capacity.
– Interior lights off, headlights off: participants are here by mistake.

The War of the Worlds
by
H. G. WELLS
After a noisy afternoon trying to get on with the gardening as the Martians continued hammering on their machines and decimating bystanders, I decided to spruce myself up with a cold bath and an invigorating walk to the railway station, followed by tea. I must confess that the sight of all this Martian armament greatly excited me and after we’d finished the cheese course, I suggested to my wife that we might partake in a spot of sexual intercourse.
She agreed, also feeling somewhat energized by the potential obliteration of humanity. In fact, to my surprise, she insisted upon licking my whirlygigs, an act she hadn’t offered since the late seventies, and, even more outlandishly, she then suggested I occupy her over the piano bench.
So immersed in our enjoyment were we, that at first we didn’t notice the figure outside the window, it being slightly concealed by a mulberry bush. Indeed, my wife had now flipped over and was trying to lever herself over the top of the pianoforte, while I balanced on one knee, in an attempt to hoist myself up her windward passage. If I hadn’t thought to close the curtains at that very moment I may never have seen it.
But there it was. Observing us, in flagrante, with its large dark-coloured eyes, which I noticed were placed rather oddly over a sensuous, if lipless, V-shaped mouth. Its oily, brown, gorgon tentacles quivered a little. I gasped. My wife, angling herself to see the source of my surprise, also started, but failed to scream, as I thought she must. The three of us stared at each other for a long hard minute; we all were aware of the awkwardness of this meeting, but none of us seemed able to break the intense eye contact.
And then our voyeur began to wave an octopus-like tentacle . . . and then another . . .
‘By Jove, I think it wants to come in,’ I murmured.
‘Go, open the door and allow it passage within. I wish to lie with that Martian’, replied my wife, her countenance solemn. I was surprised. I had not known my wife to be such a bobtail in all our marriage and so I obeyed.
A few moments later, we were gathered together; Man, Woman, Martian, devouring one another’s bodies with feverish eyes. And then we moved, as one, and fell upon each other; a lustful hand upon a full breast, a curious tentacle caressing a penis, a lipless mouth biting a rosy buttock, which I thought might hurt but didn’t. Our consummation was rapacious and peculiar. When we’d finished, we lay together until midnight, when the Martian suddenly oozed to its feet, donned my morning coat, I suppose as a disguise, and silently slid back out into the night, setting fire to the summerhouse as it left.

Sonnet 18
by
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art a hotter and more tempting mate.
My lips do suck your darling buds of May
And I did have my lease on our first date.
Sometimes too hot your eye of heaven shines
When round your golden hole my tongue has rimmed
And when with legs apart you do recline
Your nature is to leave yourself untrimmed;
But while the British summer stayest fair
Then we shall lose possession of our minds
And make love outside in the open air
Exposing to the sun our bare behinds.
So long as I can lie and you can wee
Be like our summer days and rain on me.

Fifty Shades of Grey
by
E. L. JAMES
Ana sat on the sofa in the Blue Room of Domesticity and adjusted her slippers. The end credits of So You Think You Can Dance were rolling on the television.
‘Hurry up, Christian!’ she called. ‘It’s nearly time for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!’
Moments later, Christian came in, wearing his beige fleece dressing gown. There was a smear of dried egg down the front. She’d asked him to give it to her to put in the washing machine she didn’t know how many times. He put the tray he was carrying down on the Ikea coffee table.
‘Is that decaf?’ she said, picking up her mug. ‘You know it gives me gas.’
‘If you wanted something else you should have said so,’ said Christian. ‘I asked you, like, five times.’
‘I couldn’t hear you, I had the TV on.’
‘As per usual,’ muttered Christian.
Ana took a sip of her drink anyway. If she was farting in bed tonight, it wasn’t her problem.
‘So . . . do you want to be tied up and beaten later?’ asked Christian.
Ana bit her lip, but Chri
stian had turned away and was busy sniffing the kitty litter, so he didn’t seem to notice. She checked with her subconscious, but it was having a nap, and her Inner Goddess was doing some Hoovering.
‘Do you mind if we skip it tonight?’ she said. ‘I’m premenstrual and really bloated. You know that’s one of my hard limits.’
Christian didn’t look that disappointed. ‘How about a game of Scrabble instead?’ he said.
‘OK,’ sighed Ana. She would have to let him win again. He was such a sore loser.
‘So, you know the Red Room of Pain, well I was thinking that this weekend —’ she began.
‘You know I’m actually going to be pretty busy this weekend. I thought I should probably mow the lawn around the front moat,’ Christian interjected, worried.
‘Relax,’ Ana reassured him, ‘I just thought if you could shift your Nordic skis, which incidentally you haven’t used since last Christmas, then we could convert it into something useful, like a craft room. I mean it’s not like we ever use it any more.’
Christian shrugged. ‘Whatever,’ he said.
‘We could redecorate it. There’s a clearance sale at Macy’s. I have a coupon.’
‘Shush,’ he admonished her. ‘The show’s starting.’
As Christian shovelled a handful of popcorn into his mouth, Ana felt herself missing her single days, and yearned for the comforts of a good book.
