The fitness world is inescapable these days.

There’s even a My Protein advent calendar, for God’s sake.

December is both a month where gym plans get derailed and when those who have previously swerved the siren call of Virgin Active finally decide to get into shape, come the new year.

And there’s no better encouragement to do so than getting a load of stash for Christmas.

Even if you’re already an actively exercising kinda guy, everyone enjoys getting something they wouldn’t ordinarily buy themselves to improve their workout experience.

We all want a hot new kit, headphone set or tracking watch to show off on the treadmill – it’s just human… Read the full story

Pregnant women are being advised to sleep on their sides, rather than their backs.

Research from Tommy’s and the NHS has found that how a pregnant woman sleeps can be an important factor in preventing stillbirth.

They now recommend that pregnant women, once they enter the third trimester of their pregnancy, sleep on their sides.

Tommy’s, the charity behind the research, stress that this isn’t about making women feel worried, and that you should never panic if you wake up and find that you’ve shifted position during the night.

I’ll be honest with you. A big part of why we’re publishing this guide is because a commenter, outraged by an article about pegging, questioned ‘what’s next? A guide to rimming?’

To that commenter we say yeah, actually. That’s quite a solid idea.

Thanks to Broad City, pegging’s getting a whole load of attention in the past year or so. And as a trickle-down effect, other types of anal play are getting hyped up, too.

In the heterosexual, men having sex with women crowd, anyway. Among women having sex with women and men having sex with men, all kinds of… Read the full story

Prosecco lovers, get ready to race to your nearest ASDA.

Take a good look at this fruit. You’re about to see it all over the internet. 

It’s a jujube. And it’s going to get trendy any minute now.

It’s not new, obviously. South Koreans have been eating jujube as part of breakfast forever, and the Chinese apparently add it to supplements and tea.

But because Western people like copying stuff, we’re about to combine it with yoga pants, put it on Instagram and call it a superfood.

Yay.

To be fair, the jujube does sound pretty powerful.

It’s a big celebration in the states – even bigger than Christmas for many.

Thanksgiving is all about families and friends coming together to eat a feast of turkey, nut roast, root veggies and of course a little wine to wash it all down.

It’s all about giving thanks to one another and thinking about the origins of the country itself.

Sex is a wonderful, glorious and necessary component of an intimate relationship.

It makes you feel good, it makes the other person (or people) feel good, it’s great for your health and it’s a great way to end, or start, the day.

In an ideal world, every sexually active human would be having earth-shatteringly good shags, but, alas, we live in a world where Donald Trump was elected president and Blake Shelton is the sexiest man on Earth, so it’s fair to say things don’t always go as planned.

When we think of Christmas, few of us think of loneliness. No one associates Christmas with loneliness.

But it’s an incredibly common problem that can peak during the festive season.

To tackle this silent taboo in the run up to Christmas, barbers around the country are being called to open their doors on 7 December and offer free services and treatments to older men in their communities.

The #ShaveTheDay campaign, in collaboration with Age UK, aims to combat the loneliness felt amongst an increasing number of British male pensioners during the traditionally busy December period.

I’m not the best at picking the right men.

Ok fine, I’m the worst.

Ask my friends, seriously. They have to pretty much stage an intervention when I start dating someone because I tend to overlook the red flags that would send anyone else running.

I don’t know whether it’s because I try to see the good in people, whether I’m just a bit naive, or whether the magnetic pull of a f***boy is just too strong.

I’ve dated guys who make continuous jokes about texting other women (spoiler: they weren’t really jokes), men who have told me I should… Read the full story

Here’s a handy calculator for working out how much Tampon Tax you’ve paid throughout your life

There’s been a tampon tax of some kind of other since 1973.

In very recent times, certain supermarkets have tried to do women a solid by covering the 5% VAT on sanitary products.

After all, why should we be paying extra for stuff we legitimately need (unless mass free bleeding is what the people want).

The government agreed last year to stop profiting from our periods and promised to put all proceeds of the tax towards charities, including  (hilariously), an anti-abortion group.

So unless you shop in Tesco, Waitrose or Morrisons, you’re still being overcharged for your tampons and towels.
