QUESTIONS YOU CAN ONLY ASK AFTER A CERTAIN TIME

(or after a lot of wine)

Sometimes you think of a question, but you just don't ask it. And that is nine times out of ten a wise decision. Look, at our editorial office, everything flies across the table. Because you have to ask the big questions in the name of research (read May's piece here about what sex is like when you've been together for a long time). And that's why the questions you should really only get after two in the morning in a drunken state.

You skip these at the coffee machine, but after a bottle or two on the terrace, they are perfectly fine. And then just put on a very quasi-nonchalant face or laugh when you pop that question, whatever you want. And if you're wondering... Yes, these questions have been asked. Also to a certain editor-in-chief with the initials M.B.

1. Well, here we go, hold on... Do you still do it a bit often and can you statistically support this with numbers, tables, and graphs please.

2. Or if you've ever had a threesome. Yes, just imagine dropping that one on your boss. I get it, because you want to know juicy details. Although that naturally also depends a bit on the manager in question. By the way, if you have ambitions in this area, then you can read here what no one tells you about a threesome. Spoiler: it's something with origami.

3. This is mine and it gets dropped quite often in (too) sober state. Do you want kids or more bluntly: why don't you have them yet? This is not one for the shelf with pre-packaged cheese, but with a bottle of vino, you get deep conversations and then it's allowed. Preferably the first variant, please.

4. Do you have your pension a bit in order? Even after ten o'clock in the evening in a drunken state, this question makes me hyperventilate and I get a bit panicky. By the way, all tax-administrative-pension technical questions do that. But for now, I'm working until I'm ninety, May. Just so you know.

5. Are you actually really happily married or just married, happily? You can really ask that, but I suggest you also help move if the answer turns out differently than you thought.

6. Yes, the classic... Have you ever kissed a girl? This is something almost every man wants to know from you, but your female colleague is also just very curious.

7. Oh, so you've been in a relationship for a VERY long time. And, do you still do it a bit with yourself? You know, solo sex.

8. The question you will get after your thirties when you were just having fun in your twenties: were you ever the mistress? As in, did you get involved with a married person.

9. And this one is for the bitterball... By the way, did you ever have a difficult relationship with food when you were younger? Aiaiai.

So, enough material for your next Friday afternoon drink or a party that got out of hand, I thought.
