There are two grown men on my futon playing with dolls, and I'm standing above them taking photos. We're all dripping in sweat, and I'm hoping my girlfriend doesn't suddenly come home and catch us at it. She might get the wrong idea.

This month's column is about kinky sex. No, I'm kidding. It's about the brilliantly named band Cruyff in the Bedroom, and with a moniker like that a photo shoot like this just had to happen.

But, with the air-con on the blink, we decide to call the session to an abrupt halt. The two guys, singer/guitarist Yusuke Hata and lead guitarist Shigekazu Sannohe, pack up their dolls -- of legendary Dutch soccer player Johann Cruyff and his less successful soccer-playing son, Jordi -- and we head to a nearby cafe.
