Especially useful if your response to the double whammy of hitting your midlife crisis while still a TEFLer was to start an affair with a colleague or student (rather than the even worse option of starting a TEFL blog) and you want to be able to talk or write about it without anyone getting suspicious. Or if you are in a TEFL couple, you could use this to talk about your sex lives in front of others such as your parents or kids without them having any idea.
