nightmare if the editor came past now?”
    I grin back. I would suffer any humiliation just for the pleasure of feeling Ben’s arm lightly touching my breasts.
    “We’ll just tell him we’re doing some research,” I say with a wicked smile.
    Ben laughs. “He’d probably want to pull up a chair himself. One of my friends just got a computer at home and he says that all his friends, even the girls, have been coming over and asking him to show them the Internet. Every time he asks them what they want to see, they all say sex. So there you go, we’re not abnormal after all.”
    You mean you’re not abnormal, Ben, because to be completely honest I’m really not that bothered about scouring the sex sites, in fact, I think I’d rather not, but I’m not going to dwell on the potential embarrassment involved in surfing sex sites with the man of my dreams, I’m just going to sit here and enjoy being with you.
    Suddenly the computer screen changes, and there’s a list on the screen, all of them sexual names, each urging you to click on them, see what they have to offer. I am not going to blush. I am going to be cool, calm, and collected. Even as I sit here reading about oral, anal, sucking, fucking, I am not going to show Ben that I am anything other than a woman of the world.
    “Brilliant,” says Ben, as I’m concentrating on keeping my face its normal color. “Let’s go and see HOTSEX .”
     
    p. 41 Ben clicks on HOTSEX and nothing happens, the screen just goes completely black. Talk about anticlimax. “Do you think it’s not working?” Ben says, disappointment written all over his face.
    “I think it probably just takes a long time. Look! Something’s happening.” And sure enough, a series of lines starts appearing on screen. I’m watching Ben out of the corner of my eye, and Ben’s watching the screen.

    “We did it, we did it!” says Ben in jubilation, clicking on the visitor’s site. “We found sex on the Internet!”
    “Bearing in mind this is research, you’re sounding incredibly excited,” and I can’t help but smile at Ben’s reaction.
    “Oh yes, sorry, I forgot. Research. Yes, this is research. Of course.”
    The screen goes black again and then more words of welcome, next to which are three tiny little boxes of a bright blue and green universe, surrounded by a red circle.
    And nothing else happens.
    “Jesus, what a waste of time,” says Ben. “Where are the bloody pictures?”
    “Maybe you have to click on a universe?”
    Ben tries, but nothing happens. “Shit, shit, shit. Look, I’ve gotta go for a pee, let’s try and sort it out in a sec. Won’t be a minute.” He walks off and I idly pick up a magazine lying next to the computer while I wait for him to come back.
    p. 42 God, yet another model breaking into the big league and isn’t she gorgeous. I study her platinum blond hair and perfect eyebrows, and then make a mental note to add her to my collection when I get home.
    “SHIT!” Ben shouts as his footsteps come running up behind me.
    “OH MY GOD!” I look up at the screen and clap my hand over my mouth and both of us, just for a split second, seem to freeze in horror. As soon as we’ve pulled ourselves together, we frantically turn around, breathing sighs of relief that no one else is in the office. Because there on the computer screen, what was a little box containing a universe is now a massive color picture of a naked woman, legs spread, with her mouth wrapped around one man’s penis, while another is standing behind and screwing her.
     
    The picture is crystal clear, every
