Deposition excerpt 2

So one of the lovely claims that our judicial system affords us is a claim for loss of consortium. This basically dates to a time when a woman's duties to her husband included sexual services, and if she was hurt in any way her husband could sue to obtain the value of those services. Nowadays it applies to both men and woman and has come to have a value beyond sex (love, companionship, fuzzy bunnies, etc.).

With the law lesson out of the way, this is part of a deposition from one-half of a May/December relationship.

Q: Your husband is also claiming loss of consortium, is that correct?
A: Yes.
Q: Can you describe for me how [the accident] has affected your sex life with your husband?
A: How do you mean?
Q: Well, for example, can you describe it in terms of frequency or quality?
A: Oh, well, there sure hasn't been a drop-off in frequency. Only in experimentation, because my jaw hurts.
