Firstly, I must apologise for the title of this post, but it's been a long day and I need to entertain myself.
Apparently, according to a story on the BBC news website, having sex helps us overcome stress and makes us more effective public speakers.

So that rules out the Lib Dem leadership challengers...
But please don't use too little/too much sex as an excuse for not performing well in the forthcoming powerpoint presentations on child language or you'll get no sympathy from me.
