    She had on no knickers, and my heart went crash-bang-wallop and my eyes popped out. She hadn't shaved, and her fanny looked like a tropical fish or a bit of old carpet. #BadSex

    Afternoon everyone. Hopefully you've all digested your lunch, as well as the shock news that the 2020 #BadSex awards will not be going ahead. In lieu of the award, here are some of our favourite shortlisted passages from 2006-2019. They're out of context, as always.

    We breathe heavily, breached, adjusting to air. There is a fish smell too, as if the tide had just gone out. #BadSex

    'The story he tells is one of hard work, little money and narrow horizons, reminiscent of Laurie Lee’s "Cider with Rosie" but without the adolescent sex and occasional violence.' @CharliePyeSmith is entranced by @herdyshepherd1's 'English Pastoral'.

    And as his trousers slipped down his legs all the burdens of his life to date seemed to fall away from him #BadSex

    ‘Empty my tanks,’ I’d begged breathlessly, as once more she began drawing me deep inside her pleasure cave. Her vaginal ratchet moved in concertina-like waves, slowly chugging my organ as a boa constrictor swallows its prey. #BadSex

    Once he’d trained his sphincter to stop reflexively impersonating a Chinese finger trap, it felt pretty good

    Oh shit, my nipple’s on fire. She’s poured lighter fluid onto my chest and my tit’s gone up in flames like some dessert in a posh restaurant. ‘Fuck, Rosa! Aggghhhh! For fuck’s sake! Blow it out! Blow it out!’ #Badsex

    Anne Hathaway’s cow-milking fingers, cradling my balls in her almond palm, now took pity on the poor anguished erection, and in the infinite agony of her desire, guided it to the quick of the wound. #BadSex

    “You wanna pop me?” she said… I’d like to say that she stepped out of her jeans, but in truth it took a while to maneuver two large dimpled buttocks and the accompanying vaginal wedge out of the hard shell of her Miss Sixty denims #BadSex

    I must say, more than 140 characters is doing wonders for #BadSex tweeting.
