I love the Guardian My Life in Sex column.

The stories are short, sweet, and often extremely revealing. You can get a little insight into the psyche of someone into voyeurism one week, or learn about erectile dysfunction the next.

This week we were treated to a tidbit from the man I can only dub the orgasm king.

Hail him ladies, for he knows what he’s doing and it’s sure as hell not rocket science.

Mr. King seems like a well-adjusted chap. Find out what he had to say for himself in the column, or we can summarise it for you.

Quitting a habit is hard. But, it’s not impossible.

This year’s theme for National No Smoking Day 2018, on 14 March, places emphasis on doing it your way, whether that’s with the help of nicotine patches, chewing gum, e-cigarettes or willpower.

In fact, we’re becoming a nation of quitters, with the North East leading the way.

According to Fresh, the UK’s first regional programme for tobacco control, this area saw the level of adult smokers fall by a third between 2005 and 2016.

But, how do you stub out the cigarettes for good?

It’s not always an easy task, especially if you’re often in social situations with fellow… Read the full story

Ready your plates and drop your pants, men. Today, 14 March, is Steak and Blow Job Day. And what a momentous occasion that is.

A month after Valentine’s Day, Steak and Blow Job Day is intended to be a version of the celebration of love especially for men, because Valentine’s Day is all about women.

That is, obviously, nonsense.

Valentine’s Day is a day of romance – cards, chocolate, heartfelt letters declaring your love. That’s for everyone. It’s not inherently sexual, it’s about expressing and celebrating love.

There’s no need for a ‘men’s Valentine’s Day’, because Valentine’s Day is for men, too. If you like to celebrate the… Read the full story

In case you didn’t know, today, Tuesday 14 March, is National No Smoking Day – a day to encourage people to bloody well quit smoking.

Yes, that means you, furtively hiding a pack up your sleeve.

We all know by now that smoking cigarettes is very, very bad for us. The damaging risks associated with puffing away (including actual death) are printed on the side of every box.

And yet an estimated one billion of us are still smoking on the reg.

So if all that stuff about lung cancer and early death hasn’t put you off (it should, really), here’s another reason to quit the cigs: They’re wrecking… Read the full story

Happy Steak and BJ day!

May that special someone bless you today with all the fellatio you can handle, followed by some great dinner.

A month on from Valentine’s Day – a day obviously dedicated to women’s every wants and needs (…!), today is every dude’s day to bask in his masculine, meaty glory.

But what if you’re a vegan? What if you have forsaken meat in every form? Can you still give or/and receive some good, old-fashioned oral?

Is semen…vegan?

Firstly, let’s look at what semen is actually composed of.

Facialist Andy Millward tells Metro.co.uk that ‘male semen is predominantly water, with only 1% being sperm’.

Depression may be a mental illness, but anyone who’s been through it knows just how physically debilitating it can be, too.

Everyday tasks become huge mountains to climb, and yet it’s difficult to put your finger on exactly why they’ve become so unmanageable.

Who’d have thought daily life could be such a challenge?

These are some of the supposedly simple tasks that suddenly feel inexplicably daunting when I’m depressed.

There’s no one way to treat mental health issues.

What works for one person won’t work for another, and it’s deeply unfair to shame someone for taking a different approach – whether that’s medication or therapy.

So when studies declare that something could work to reduce depression and anxiety, be careful not to start shouting about it as a one-size-fits-all solution.

Instead, take it into consideration as something that could help, and is probably worth trying. ‘Kay?

With all that in mind, it might be time to give knitting a go.

A new report has found that knitting could reduce anxiety, depression, slow the onset of dementia, and ease chronic pain, meaning it could save… Read the full story

Being told that eating sugar is bad for you is a nightmare.

And to make matters worse, it’s a basic fact that salt does even more damage to us.

Like visceral fat and mercury, an abundance of salt just isn’t something you want to have lurking in your body.

But why? And how do you know you’re eating too much salt? What’s the recommended limit?

Like Star Trek and matcha lattes, losing your virginity is a journey into the unknown.

You can watch as much porn as your data allowance will permit, read as many Cosmo articles as your eyes can handle, but until you’ve been there, done it and scampered to the loo wearing their T-shirt, you will never be truly prepared.

We’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating: Loads of people with vaginas are paranoid about the appearance of their vulva (that’s the external bits), and a lot of that insecurity is down to the fact that few of us see images of vulvae outside porn.

Sex education lessons will show you diagrams of the ovaries and instruct you on putting a condom on a purple plastic model, but it’s still rare to see photos or realstic drawings of labia in all their glory.

That leaves many of us thinking that the smooth, bleached… Read the full story

Loads of non-smokers swear they’ll never smoke cigarettes… but spend hours in shisha bars.

Worryingly, a huge proportion of those who smoke regularly think it’s a harm-free alternative to cigarettes.

Well, that’s wrong.

The effects of inhaling shisha smoke can be as damaging to our health as the average fag – if not more damaging.

But for some reason, among youngsters and shisha fanatics alike – especially Asian and Arab communities where it’s a popular staple – there’s a lack of knowledge on just how dangerous it is.

Its no secret that humans love coffee and cuddles, otherwise why would cat cafés be so popular?

The only problem with cat cafés though is that if you bond with a four-legged fluff monster, it’s really frowned up on to put them in your bag and take them home.

If only there was a café which let you chill, sip on flat whites and break bread with animals that you might be allowed to become forever friends with, eh?

Well, if greyhounds are your thing, that this dream is already a reality, thanks to the greyhound adoption café that’s just opened in Melbourne, Australia.

If you’ve been living under a rock for the past month, you may have missed the fact that bubble jackets are back.

Winter might be on the way out (that’s the rumour, at least), but it’s never been more chic to look as though you’re wearing your duvet out and about.

At Paris Fashion Week, the catwalks were absolutely drenched in oversized outerwear, from Balenciaga’s gigantic dad-esque anoraks to Givenchy’s massive cashmere capes.

But as we all know, the vast majority of the items found in fashion shows are completely un-workable in real life.

As Instagram is proving.

Estee Lauder launched its Double Wear or Nothing foundation last week, using a surpisingly diverse range of models.

Among actress Aïssa Maïga was also fashion designer Grace Lam and blogger Kavita Cola – the first Indian women to be a Global Ambassador for the brand.

In a four part series, which also features global beauty director of Estee Lauder, Violette, the clips show what the new foundation means for the women’s hectic lives.

The Double Wear foundation which has a buildable, matte coverage that is said to last 24-hours, is oil-free, and won’t clog pores, was highly… Read the full story

Cats, however adorable they may be, can be little b*tches.

Got a vase of tulips? Not anymore – they’re playing kick about with the severed heads on the now-wet carpet.

Left your mascara on the table? It’s been knocked off and pawed under the sofa.

Cats refuse to anything you try to make them do but the one thing they absolutely love is knocking sh*t over. They cannot resist thumping bottles and jars and vases and tubes and anything else onto the ground.

But why?

Veganism is like that shy kid at school.

It’s been bobbing along quietly for a while now, but you know what?

One day it got sick of being a wallflower, decided it was its time to shine, and sashayed into class the next day like a butterfly emerging from a crysalis that people couldn’t help but stare at.

Vegans used to be seen as the oddballs of society, but now you get regular people – like you and me – who follow a plant-based diet, because they realised that eating animals and all their juices is actually just a… Read the full story
