I wasn't going to say anything, but yes I caught on to it right away.

As Max has, on occasion, pointed out, we are but two countries separated by a
common language, so I
don't know if this has struck anyone else as being particularly erotic: the
words sex and screw
being coupled together.

What you're referring to here are called "Sex Screws." I know, sounds pretty
kinky; but remember
that in plumbing you have ballcocks, nipples, male and femail union pieces;
maybe electricity and
wiring isn't quite so suggestive but I'm sure that trade likewise has its'
own prurient terminology.
Actually, I had bought a box of sex screws from a small hardware store in
Wheaton (Illinois) and
didn't know what to call them. I called down there and spoke with the woman
manager that I had
known when I lived there (quite a very charming gal to say the least) and
clumsily and
apologetically tried to explain what type of fasteners I was looking for and
wanting to know what to
call them.
She plainly answered, "Sex screws." And then giggled, knowing my
consternation and embarrassment.

are these those things that look like two tophats with one thinner than
the other? The thinner threaded tube fits into the thicker threaded tube
and they join flush? What tightens them, and what are the strengths and
weaknesses.
I have a rolling backpack to fix for my kid and that might be just
perfect; unless you have to buy a gun for them too.
