ShameSome people get off on the exhibitionism, but this was pure lust. I'm not proud, but I did once have sex on Portsmouth beach at 2am in the fog. I got a nasty cold, shingle _everywhere_ and have never, ever gone back to Portsmouth. The shame.
There are things you boast about, and then there's Portsmouth beach... what are you ashamed of having done?

My friend will kill me for posting this, but it's too good to wasteLast week she was on an 11hr flight in business class from New York to London. She's fine for a while, then suddenly she gets this wave of heat run from the top of her head to her feet, and the awful knowledge she's not feeling right.
The air steward spots her and aks if she's ok. My friend replies "yes, I'm fine, I just need to remove all my clothes" and proceeds to do so. Fortunately, the steward stops her before she gets to her underwear and suggests maybe the loo is a better idea.
She manages to get up and walk through the aisle, edging nearer the toilet, whilst all the suits nearby back away. She's SOOO close, has the door open, then falls, deadweight, into the cubicle. And smacks her chin against the edge of the toilet and her leg on the door.
So she spends the next 2hrs vomiting then dry-heaving whilst her chin bleeds everywhere. She finally presses the Assistance button to say she's in a really bad way, and when she sticks her bleeding, vomit-soaked head out to talk realises there's not just a huge queue of angry loo-punters, but there's also a strong smell of sick, as she suddenly remembers not quite making it to the loo, and throwing up the whole way down the aisle.
To add insult to injury, when the plane lands, passengers are told to remain in their seats so the sick passenger can be escorted off the plane. They bring in a wheelchair, and my friend, a true New Yorker, shouts "I am not getting in that. Just bring me a coffee". It's 'policy' apperently, and though she's put in the chair and wheeled off the plane, they stop in a recess in the plane tunnel to check her out, right where all the other passengers can stop, watch and point.
The thing that she said made it so shameful was that she was being treated in turn as a drunk, then diseased, then pregnant, then annoying woman. Which she's been at various stages of her life, but none of them on that plane.
Just air sick.
Sorry for length.
