Attention, attention.

Bored of using thrusting and vibrating to get off? Fancy using some magnets instead?

How your accent taps into the prejudice of your listener

Sure you do.

Lucky, then, that Ann Summers is launching a new range called Magnetize.

As the name probably gives away, Magnetize is a collection of sex toys that uses the power of magnets to get you off.

Apparently the magnets are inspired by homeopathy, and work to stimulate blood flow, which increases sensitivity, and encourage nerve signals to ‘ignite’. Sounds nice.

Basically, they work a bit like those magnet bracelets you see in Holland &… Read the full story

It’s the epic sci-fi sim you’ve been waiting for – Elite Dangerous is finally available on PlayStation 4.

Along with a new platform comes a whole new crop of commanders looking for fame and fortune amongst the stars… but you might find it’s a lot trickier than you thought.

If you’ve been dying to strap in and jump to hyperspace, you might want to brush up on a few skills first.

After all, if you’ve any chance of piloting your way to notoriety, you’ll have to get to grips with a whole host of intricate starship systems.

The internet was one of the world’s most important and exciting inventions, and we filled it with porn. 

So it should come as no surprise that as artificial intelligence progresses further and further, we’re using that technological advance in a similar way, namely, to create sex robots.

If you’re sick of not being able to afford any kind of permanent accommodation down here, then you might want to think about heading to Scotland.

Because up there, you can buy yourself an entire island for less a crappy one bed apartment in London.

Be:FIT - Europe's largest fitness festival solely for women - is touring the UK

Little Ross Island – which spans 29 acres – lies just off the coast of south west Scotland and boasts a fully automated 19th-century lighthouse tower.

And it’s a snip at £325,000.

It does, however, have a pretty grisly history.

The morning after pill isn’t something that any of us actually want to use. 

It’s annoying to have to head over to the chemist, it’s stressful to worry about whether or not it will work, and it’s miserable to fork out your hard earned cash for something that will probably leave you feeling moody and sad.

There are no two ways about it: burritos are delicious. And they’re made even better by the fact you choose exactly what goes in them – which means nobody misses out on the delish dish. 

There's a candyfloss and ice cream burrito and people don't know what to make of it

However, just because you can choose what goes them doesn’t mean you should go overboard – and it definitely doesn’t mean you should remove all traditional ingredients altogether in place of totally unusual ones.

But apparently one restaurant didn’t get the memo.

Greetings, people interested in beauty and skincare.

This is the third edition of Is It Worth The Faff?, a weekly series in which we test out a beauty product, treatment, or trend that’s getting loads of attention across the internet, and declare if it’s worth the faff.

Are bubble masks worth the faff?

Faff, to be clear, means the amount of time, effort, and money required to use said product, treatment, or trend.

Last week we tried lip masks, which were absolutely not worth the faff (you can’t drink tea or talk for 15 minutes, which is the opposite… Read the full story

Let’s be honest, on paper, skydiving sounds absurd.

These Mean Girls inspired makeup brushes come with an actual Burn Book

Leaping out of a plane at 14,000 feet shouldn’t really be any rational human’s idea of fun, but hey, each to their own.

Imagine though, if you were a dog. 14,000 feet suddenly sounds a whole lot more daunting if you’re only three feet tall, no?

Millennial pink – it’s everywhere.

From furniture to, er, pineapples, the highly-Instagrammable shade has become everyone’s go-to summer colour.

Now, at long last, you can drink it.

Iconic gin brand Gordon’s have announced ‘Premium Pink Distilled Gin’, a sweeter, more summery take on ‘mother’s ruin’.

Artist Cass Clemmer explains why periods aren't just for women

For your gin hating friends (why are you still friends with them?), the juniper taste is a little subtler here, too.

Go on holiday they said, it will be relaxing they said. Lies upon lies.

Why are sex dolls which allow men to simulate rape a bad thing?

Going on a relaxing holiday is supposedly a chance to unwind and get away from it all, but in reality it is an expensive experience filled with a whole bunch of struggles, that result in you feeling more stressed than you did before you went away.

From dodgy tummies, to the inevitable big bust up and of course losing something vital like a phone or a… Read the full story

We’re not snobby about wedding bands or wedding DJs – they’re good at what they do, and it’s not a bad way to earn a living – but, man, are we snobby about the songs they play.

There’s something about these ceremonies that makes brides and grooms choose the cheesiest tunes possible – and in many cases ones that completely undermine the lovey-dovey theme of the day.

Here are the songs we wish weren’t played at every wedding…

At what stage in a relationship does it become acceptable to leave your engagement ring Pinterest board open on your laptop? 

There's a candyfloss and ice cream burrito and people don't know what to make of it

It’s a tricky question, knowing when it’s the perfect time to get engaged.

When you announce your engagement to the world, the goal is for people to be happy and excited, rather than thinking ‘about bloody time, it’s been literally decades’, or, even worse, ‘Wait, who’s the bloke holding the ring box in the photo?’

According to research from Bridebook.co.uk, who know quite a lot about weddings, and asked 4,000 brides, the average length of time in a relationship before you actually walked down the aisle, was 4.9 years.

Getting married after 4.9 years averaged out as moving in together after 17 months, then living together for 22 months before getting engaged, and… Read the full story

Instagram is to travel what Kim Kardashian is to selfies – they were made for each other.

And, for those of us who love a good cocktail photo, you should keep the following destinations in mind when considering where to book your next holiday.

Summer isn’t over yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start planning a way to escape the start of winter and find a warm holiday spot for November.

The Met Office has kindly shared a few locations around the globe that enjoy hot weather later in the year.

Unfortunately, some of the places they suggest are a bit too pricey for mere mortals to jet off to for a week of sunshine.

That’s why we’ve chosen five hot holiday spots you can get to in November without having to sell a kidney on the black market.

It’s an easy slip-up to make, but one that we could all do with working on: talking about periods as though they’re just something that happen to women.

That’s not the case.

These Mean Girls inspired makeup brushes come with an actual Burn Book

Many people who don’t identify as women have periods – trans people and non-binary people, for example – and many people who do identify as women don’t have periods.

Periods do not make someone a woman, and it’s not only women who have periods.

Hurrah – the summer holidays are almost here and we can shove the lunchboxes, water bottles and PE bags to the back of the cupboard until September.

No more forms to fill in, school uniform to wash, newsletters to read or family homework for the next six weeks at least.

However, it does mean your children are at home with you 24/7 or you have to sort out a complicated care schedule if you are working.

You are probably already worried about what you’re going to do, where you’re going to go and how much it is all going to cost.

Here are the six stages of the summer holidays.

A goose named Jack has been living the life of luxury with his two owners, enjoying visits to the local pub and embarking upon camping holidays.

Jack, an eight-year-old Chinese Gray Gander goose, from Market Drayton, Shropshire, is treated like a king by his owners Sally Barnett, 45, and Keith Burgess, 59.
