Whether you’re an aggro santos or a pacifist, there always comes a point where you have to stand your ground and argue back.

We need to talk about male eating disorders

Unless you’re an angry crier.

Just as you’re about to deliver your zinger – your  Atticus moment – you feel the slow increase of moisture welling up in your sockets. You try to breathe deeper, slower but alas – too late! Already that first tear… Read the full story

Today is World Wildlife Day – a day dedicated to saving endangered species.

Conservationists from around the world will come together today to discuss how to make a difference but, importantly, to actually make that change happen.

The United Nations says half of the world’s wildlife was lost in the last 40 years, a trend nature lovers are desperate to reverse.

Ghosting can be a total b*tch.

Ghosting is so prevalent it just got added to the dictionary

Yep. It’s that horrible feeling when you send a message and never get a reply. Ever.

But while the phenomenon seems to be growing, there are still some who find the whole thing confusing (no your phone didn’t stop working).

This week, the world rejoiced at the launch of a magical creation called the i.Con – a cock ring and condom combo that detects STIs (apparently. I’m still not convinced it works), tracks your thrusts, charts speeds, and transfers all the data it’s gathered on to your phone.

The idea is that you can see how good you are at sexing by beholding all your sexual data on an… Read the full story

Relationships are challenging at the best of times, but they’re even trickier when you and your partner don’t live in the same area – or even the same time zone.

The trials and tribulations of being an angry crier

Long distance relationships require extra effort and dedication to make them work, but that doesn’t mean they’re doomed to failure.

If you’ve had a long distance relationship – or are currently in one – here are some experiences that you’ll definitely relate to.

And if you’re unfit, putting on your trainers and slowly jogging round the streets for the first time can feel awful. You’re convinced that famous ‘runner’s high’ is a lie.

Instagram has a reputation for over-zealous censorship when it comes to women’s bodies.

They hate nipples. They hate periods. And as one fitness coach has recently found out, they hate cellulite.

There’s still a chill in the air because the Spring equinox isn’t for another few weeks.

Picasso and Pablo are brothers who were born to a backyard breeder.

But after their birth, Pablo, along with the rest of the litter, were sold off to different families – and Picasso was left behind.

Picasso was different to the rest of his siblings. He was born with a facial abnormality that means his jaw twists sharply to the right, which makes his nose twist to the side too.

I had such high hopes for my parenting.

I was never going to let my children have a dummy, we’d watch just half an hour of television once a week on a Sunday afternoon, and they would grow up treating me with respect and consideration at all times.

Haha!

That didn’t quite work out did it?
