Sex on a school night

BEFORE WORK: a herb grown in Brazil, muira puama, is reputed to increase sex drive. Recent tests at the Institute of Biosexology in Paris (where else?) found it boosted libido in 62 per cent of men.

Knock back some Wyld For Men capsules (which have natural aphrodisiacs tribulus terrestris, damiana and muira puama) with a glass of water containing a Berocca tablet, which is loaded with B vitamins to help the nervous system fight stress.

AFTER WORK: "Head to the gym in the two hours following work," suggests personal trainer Paul Cook. "The temptation is to put your feet up; the body is getting ready for sleep. Vigorous activities like squash or weights will boost the output of adrenaline and performance-enhancing testosterone."

HOME TRUTHS: "Take a different route or mode of transport home," advises psycho-sexual counsellor Philip Hodson. "And if you usually read, listen to music en route and vice versa." Changing your commuting routine will start you thinking creatively and gear up your mind for imaginative sex.

Better still, be a bit adventurous and try somewhere completely different, like a night at a swish hotel or even just the kitchen table.
