Because I've always been a bit of a show-off, my husband suggested we go to one of those private clubs where a couple can "make out" with each other in a candle-lit room. The idea is that other people can see what you're doing.

I must admit, this notion of other couples being able to observe us has really turned me on. But are there any risks?

I believe there are several such "exhibitionist clubs" which are held in people's houses in Brighton and Hove, and other South Coast towns. But from talking to my patients, I understand that there is quite a chance that you might end up being invited to have sex with other couples. Frankly, that would be very dangerous indeed, particularly in view of the high risk of chlamydia and other sexuallytransmitted germs in Sussex.
