There’s just one small setback: they can’t talk.

We use sex as a way to put a hot, sexy plaster on our relationship problems, basically.

But while that may feel like it works, a new study suggests it might not – especially for women.

But often, we’re so busy being righteously indignant over the spatial violation that we don’t actually spare a thought about how stressful travel – and particularly flying – can be for ‘very fat’ people.

In a string of tweets, writer Your Fat Friend has given a personal account of just how difficult it can be flying when you’re overweight.
