Despite being extremely pro-masturbation, I am not actually a massive wanker.

I’m a busy woman. If I have some spare time and want to relax, I usually spend it watching Netflix or doing a face mask.

Here's the problem with everyone aspiring to get a big Kim Kardashian bum

For me, sex is about interacting with another person, so masturbating doesn’t massively turn me on. I like it on occasion, but I can happily do without. And I definitely don’t feel like I could fit it into my days… Read the full story

When you’re trying to get fit and lose weight, it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that everything will be better once you’ve reached your target.

You’ll be more confident. More attractive. More successful.

This Instagram fitness blogger is illustrating the downside to losing weight

And for many, that is sort of true. Feeling healthier and more comfortable is bound to make you feel more confident and that new found energy translates into every part of life.

But for others, that day never comes. With each pound that falls off, the target… Read the full story

Bernie Sanders is something of a cult figure. Like a more palatable Jeremy Corbyn, he goes around promoting socialism and trying to change America for the good.

So naturally, he had no chance at presidential success.

But Bernie’s defeat in the race for democratic leadership isn’t the end of his story as an influencer of men.

Because he’s now spread his influence into the world of male fashion.

We all dream of quitting our office jobs, moving to the woods, and doing something really cool and badass, like building a cabin or riding a motorbike.

*Apart from saying, again, that adding the word ‘unicorn’ to a food is just a cheap trick to get people Instagramming a menu item and get loads of hype without making food any more delicious than it would have been without unicorn-y sprinkles and glitter.

Call it a weird need to revert back to the our childhoods and ignore the fact that we’re real, proper grownups, but we bloody love a treehouse.

Any treehouse. All treehouses. Rickety ones with gaps between the wood and big, fancy ones with double beds.

These people are geniuses, and deserve the utmost praise and respect.

Yan Law is one of these people.

Body-related pressure is always frustrating.

A dog with a broken leg walked two miles with vets to lead them to her puppies

The pressure to have a tiny waist, a big bum, a thigh gap, and whatever other body type the world deems on-trend in that particular moment, is overwhelming and impossible to fulfill. It’s a surefire way to feel rubbish about yourself, holding up unattainable ideals and focusing on the tiniest imperfection.

When you’re a new mum, however, that pressure becomes even more absurd.

In Palermo, a northern district of Buenos Aires, Fintan Magee’s ‘Homeward Bound’ covers the exterior wall of a building that for many years was home to squatting families. He trained in fine art, and his training is reflected in the colours and technique with which he painted the mural, which shows a man trudging through rubble with a stilt house strapped to his back. It’s a story about migration, and in part it’s Magee’s nod, if you like, to the former occupants of the building.
