Two words for you. Penis. Beaker. Yep, you heard right – and if you were on Twitter the other day, you know EXACTLY what we mean

If you weren't, then everyone from writer Caitlin Moran to Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp was talking about an online discussion on a parenting forum ‘Do you dunk your penis’ (or 'do you have a beaker of water by the bed for post-coital cleaning').

Cue 833 comments including ‘That must be sexy. You do it, then spring apart, you rush to the bathroom and he plunges his knob into a bucket’ to ‘Does your DH say things like 'I'm feeling fruity tonight darling. FILL UP THE PENIS BEAKER!'?’.
