Veganism can sound extreme, regardless of who’s doing it.

If you’re a 20-something student turning your back on cheese and bacon, you’ll be greeted by alarmed housemates who think you’re on the brink of meltdown.

If you’re a fully functioning adult, you’ll be accused of jumping on the celebrity/hippy bandwagon, being in the grip of a healthy eating obsession, or simply being fussy.

And criticism mounts especially when it comes to adults introducing their children to a solely plant-based diet.

Because Tatler has officially declared that as of now, it’s perfectly acceptable to say the word: ‘toilet’.

Yes, quite. Indeed and absolutely. In an essay published as part of a Snob Special in Tatler’s January issue, Annabel Rifkin declares that, while ‘toilet’ is still ‘the big one’, it’s… Read the full story

Most people will be all too familiar with the concept of being ‘the ticklish one’ and will have endured the downfalls of this label for their entire lives. But what is it that makes people ticklish?

Some of the most ticklish parts of the body are the armpits, neck, ribs and inner thigh, and these are the most vulnerable areas to attack.

Many scientists believe that people are prone to squirming and laughing when tickled in these places because it’s an evolutionary mechanism, designed to teach us self-defence, as we automatically try to get the attacker’s hands away.

Christmas time is a period when supermarkets go mad and start making everything as luxurious as possible. Remember last year when Tesco came out with fizzy prosecco crisps?

We could deal with the middle class assault on the humble crisp. We could even deal with it when M&S developed ‘Brusselmole’ – a Brussel sprouts, sour cream and cannellini beans dip.

Do you ever get a tingling feeling when someone whispers in your ear or brushes your hair? That’s ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response.

ASMR is a euphoric experience that causes a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin. It usually starts on the scalp, sometimes moving down the back of the neck and upper spine, creating a feeling of relaxation.

The feeling of pleasure it causes has led many to label it as ‘attention-induced head orgasm’, ‘brain orgasm’ or ‘head tingling’.

A woman born without a vagina has had one made using skin from her bottom – and now she’s hoping to start a family.

31-year-old Andy Prosserman doesn’t want to have children.

He’s sure that he doesn’t want to, so he decided to have a vasectomy.

‘I don’t want kids,’ Andy, who’s co-owner of BDSM-focused boutique Kink Toronto, told metro.co.uk. ‘That’s why people get vasectomies, right?

‘I just really don’t want kids. I don’t want to take anything away from people who do choose to go that route, but I’ve put a lot of thought into my decision and I know that it’s not for me.’

So when Andy finally went through with his vasectomy, he was pretty pleased.
