that's the fun part though -- spinning _while having sex_.  ultimately,
you'll want to move your turntables & mixer on a table right next to the
bed, with a good supply of boring minimal techno & ambient dub ready to
spin.

changing the discs during the act might be a bit tricky at first, so you
may want to wire a microphone to your bedpost & through a delay/reverb
effect box & lower its pitch so as to have a steady
thump-squeak-thump-squeak beat throughout.  you're a pro if you can do a
perfect beatmatch with your own, erhm, i/o rhythm.  if you do it well
enough, your neighbours/roommates won't think you're having sex anymore
-- they'll just think you're throwing a party.  (make sure they're not
invited.)

if your partner is relatively loud, you also may want to wire her/him
through a ring modulator for added glitches.  another trick is to put
the turntable _on_ the bed for the 'dsp-like cut-up effect' (if you
don't get it right away, you will when you try playing your vinyl
again.)

don't just worry about birth control anymore -- you must also take care
of the pitch control!

try not to make a mess!
