Bits of Magnesium

Maintaining an LDR (Long-Distance Relationship) can be taxing at best, especially during the humid summer months when peoples hormones are blazing, and men want to act like wankers, and Princesses in Flight want to flit about town. But there is a practical solution to this plight: SKEX, which I can only describe to you as Skype + Something Intimate. Journalists have named Skype "the best practical-turned-sexual invention since handcuffs."

I know many transatlantic couples who resort to Skyping as a way of lighting up their lonely summer nights. Plus, if one person is in Cambodia and the other is in the Midwest, then Skex can be an evening nightcap for the former and a morning wake-up call for the latter; it's the twelve-hour time distance of destiny. It is depressing that some of the most lasting relationships are virtual ones. After all, web cams give everyone's skin that luminous glow.
