Oi, you. If your significant other is currently washing up while you relax after eating a delicious meal they made, get up and help them, now. Your sex life depends on it.

A new study has confirmed previous findings on the importance of housework when it comes to sex in relationships.

The research, to be published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, has found that couples who share the housework equally and fairly have more sex. Equality is such a turn-on.

This little girl has zero time for all the faffing around and nonsense. She knows that taking a good photo isn’t fun and games. It’s serious.

Little preschooler Ceci Negron was posing for her yearbook picture when a member of staff told her to smile. As she did, someone else giggled.

And Ceci was NOT PLEASED. NOT PLEASED AT ALL.

‘Ceci is a very sweet and sassy girl who is not afraid to express herself,’ said Ceci’s mum. ‘She is quite articulate and has no problem letting anyone know if they have somehow offended her.’

I hate hugs.

If it were up to me, everyone would collectively agree that a wave from a slight distance is the perfect greeting for all acquaintances and platonic friends.

I think that the fact that our go-to display of friendship is pressing our breasts and stomachs together while awkwardly positioning our shouders against the other person’s neck is a sign that society is not progressing at the rate it should. We shouldn’t be living like this.

So when I learned that there are people in this world who are paying – yes, paying actual money – to be hugged by professional cuddlers, I was deeply… Read the full story

We all know that the pill can mess you up.

Some women become emotional wrecks, crying at reality TV shows and pictures of cute dogs alike. Some find themselves going off sex (which just takes the p*ss), and others feel constantly they’ve been soccer punched in the boobs.

But it turns out that there’s another, less obvious, side effect.

It can actually make you less emotionally in tune and empathetic to others – particularly during your pill-free week.

It’s beyond ridiculous that it’s STILL entirely normal for sex to be ‘finished’ when only one person is actually satisfied.

It’s infuriating. We should have sorted this out ages ago.

It should not be expected that men will definitely orgasm, while women probably won’t.
