The right and wrong times to have a Christmas wank

THE world doesn’t shut down for Christmas, and nor does your libido. But when are the best and worst times to have a festive one off the wrist? 

Christmas Eve: worst

It’s the most magical time of Christmas, wrapping presents, sipping sherry, Carols from King’s on TV, and you’re nipping off for a bout of self-pleasure? With a robin perched on a snowy branch outside chirruping Jingle Bells watching you? No. Simply no.

Christmas morning: best

There’s nothing much going on once you’ve opened your presents, so in the spirit of self-indulgence why not lie down and crank one out? You’ve already had a 10am prosecco and you deserve a treat. And there’s so much seasonally-themed porn it’d be rude not to.

Christmas afternoon: worst

You’re bloated, sleepy and at the level of drunk that means any pause in drinking will hit you with an immediate hangover. Fumbling beneath your turkey-distended belly for your genitals will only end in disappointment, and possibly a climactic fart.

Boxing Day: worst

There are relatives round, and whenever there’s a loo free for a swift bout of Emilia-Clarke-in-LastChristmas-based self-abuse, it’s been recently occupied by someone laying the richest, most festively-fragranced turd of their whole year. You could pass out or die.

December 27th-30th: best

There’s piss-all going on and everyone’s absorbed in their presents or watching telly or napping anyway, so you’re wanking in a winter wonderland. Really make a pig of yourself, like with the Belgian truffles and bowls of crisps. Five a day’s not too many.

New Year’s Eve: worst

Not being bent over the bed and railed hard by the dude of your dreams on NYE means your year’s been a failure. Lying there strumming away imagining it only compounds that failure. Get out there and get laid, tonight of all nights.

New Year’s Day: best

Start as you mean to go on. Wanking.

Drunk and bloated by 12pm: your body’s Christmas Day journey

CHRISTMAS Day isn’t about joy and merriment for your body. It’s a punishing marathon of overindulgence it barely survives. Here’s what it goes through: 

6am: Sugar high

Woken by kids at 5am, you’re eating Celebrations within the hour to sum up the necessary energy to pretend you’re delighted by items from your Amazon wishlist.

7.30am: Sugar slump

The crash has hit and you’re greying out in front of a Julia Donaldson animation. Get alcohol.

8.45am: Tipsy

Running on nervous energy, cracking a bottle has given you the lift needed to start cooking. It goes straight to your head and you’re singing along to Chris Rea.

9.30am: Pissed

The cooking is in full flow. You’re on a boozy high and smashing the shit out of Christmas. You’re a legend.

10am: Hungover

By now your hangover is kicking in. Dinner’s is under control, the kids are busy, and you’re feeling rank. You take your phone to the loo and fall asleep.

10.30am: Hunger

Waking up when your phone hits the floor, you need bacon. But you’re not allowed any pigs-in-blankets. Devour some anyway and get bollocked for doing so.

11.30am: Bloated

Burping and guilty, you sit down for a brief respite just as your family arrive. Time to start drinking again.

12.30pm: Dinner

As you sit down for Christmas dinner you’re exhausted, drunk-yet-hungover, nauseous, bloated-yet-hungry, your heart rate is through the roof and every time you blink, you sleep. Time to stuff your face.

2pm: Meat sweats

Now face the consequences. Your cracker hat is dissolving from sweat, you look like Stilton, and you’ve had to take off your Fitbit because it thinks you’re having a stroke.

3pm: Cramp

Muscle spasms and heartburn could be interpreted as a signal to stop eating Christmas pudding. Ignore them.

4.30pm: Drunk sugar high

As you play boardgames you’re consuming more alcohol, biscuits, and chocolates than would seem possible. Your sugar rush and encroaching drunkeness are perfectly in sync.

6pm: Exhilaration

Your family leave and you revel in the moment. Then you grimly drain your drink and open a box of truffles.

8pm: Coma

You’ve hit maximum consumption. Your body shuts down. Your mind functions on only the most basic level, allowing to enjoy Call The Midwife.
