I'm sweating a lot the second time

An amusing anecdote about an elderly couple's visit to the doctor reveals a humorous misunderstanding about their intimate life, highlighting the importance of context in everyday situations.

I'm sweating a lot the second time

An elderly couple in their eighties went to the doctor for a health check-up recently. The doctor examined the gentleman first and found him to be well. During the examination, he asked:

“How is your sex life?”

The octogenarian sighed slightly:

“The first time is quite normal, doctor, but I sweat a lot the second time…”

The doctor looked at the old man’s face to see if he was joking. The man was very serious. Later, the doctor examined the lady… She was also in good health. Still curious, the doctor asked the lady:

“Your husband says there is no abnormality the first time, but he sweats during the second time, is that really the case?”

“Yes, it happens, but I don’t see anything abnormal about it…”

“Why?”

“Well, we only go to bed twice a year… The first time is in January, and the second is in July… Naturally, one sweats in July…”
