Michael Douglas's riskiest sex acts

If there’s one lesson I’ve learned from my many years at the wheel, it’s that sex acts are a great way to meet people, but can also be really bad for your health.

Some activities you might consider safe are actually fraught with danger.

House-holing

Something we’ve all tried at least once, right? It’s late, you’re watching X Files, your attention wanders and before you know it, you and your lady friend are tearing around the house like crazy beasts, trying to find partition walls to pleasure one another through. It sounds so simple, but if you can’t get the right fit for your hole, you’re at risk of splinters. You must create the perfect orifice – using hazardous power tools. A Black and Decker 2-gear Hammer Drill does nicely, but its girth can distract you from the task at hand and quickly write itself into your love story. Sure, allow for goofing around with toys, but don’t get carried away like I did on Valentines’ 08. I needed eighteen stitches and all my veneers replaced. Now you’ve created an appropriate hole, go forth and perforate your entire house as your whims dictate. For those of you in rented accommodation, please consult your landlord.

The Reverse Kirk Douglas

The easiest of all sex acts works just as well in a sweaty tryst with a stranger in the IKEA toilets as it does to spice things up in longer term arrangements – but it still carries risk of injury. First, you’re gonna need several everyday bath sponges, preferably peach coloured. Then, you strap them to your partner’s face and head using elastic bands. As soon as you commence coitus, you start loudly demanding that your partner tells you who Spartacus is. If they answer incorrectly, you headbutt them as hard as you can. Repeat until climax. As well as creating a suitable likeness, the sponges serve the secondary purpose of protecting your partner’s face from significant cosmetic damage. But she’s still at risk of dehydration / suffocation – and you might get a little hoarse.

Cunnilingus

The most dangerous sex manoeuvre of all. My advanced gurning technique has caused several partners to experience such heights of pleasure that they literally disappear into another dimension. Not only that, the intensity of passion can create an airtight seal between groin and mouth, and soon you’re waving her around like a shark with a walrus pup, smashing into furniture and sharp bedroom objects as you desperately try to disengage lady from face.

Living on sunlight doesn't work, say Somalians

AMERICAN Navenna Shine’s experiment with living on water and sunlight is doomed to failure, according to people in Somalia.

Somalian Ahmed Hashi said: “We recently tried the whole living without food thing, more through necessity than choice. It didn’t go so well, despite an abundance of sunlight about a quarter of a million people died.

“I’d say that concludes the matter, despite the ancecdotal evidence you may have heard about Buddhist monks.

“Although thinking about it, maybe we weren’t meditating hard enough.”
