Setup Ideas:

• Ask an expert (a sports medicine doctor, trainer, etc.) What does having sex before a game, fight, dance, etc. do for your performance?

• Ask listeners: “What excuse do you use to have more sex?” For example, it helps me go to sleep, gets rid of a migraine, keeps me from cheating, etc.

• Or turn the topic and ask, “when do you not have sex?” Before a doctor’s visit, for example.

• [for the edgiest of shows] Prove or disprove the theory by measuring the strength of two women who have just had sex to see if she is right.
