Dream jobs don’t come around often.

How to deal with porexia

You know, other than that gig as a whisky ambassador, the position that pays you to travel the world and review fancy homes, and the offer of getting paid to play with Lego all day.

So when these opportunities arrive, you’ve got to grab them with both hands. Then put ’em in your pants, in this case.

London-based sex toy brand LoveWoo is currently advertising for an official sex toy reviewer.

Meet the man who says men shouldn’t date British women because they’re overweight and masculine

When Richard La Ruina’s publicist asked if I wanted to interview him, I had no idea who she was talking about.

But it’s August and not much else seems to be going on, so I had a cursory Google.

How a bakery is using bread-making to help people recover from mental health issues

Richard has made something of a name for himself by advising men on how they can date. Or rather, helping men to find the types of partner they want. The crux of his advice? That men should date Eastern European women.

I try to make a habit of ignoring men who say unpleasant things about women in order to get attention. But, in spite of myself, having read the things he had said about British women, I said yes.

I asked Richard why thinks Eastern European women are better than British ones.

In a surprisingly monotonous voice, he told Metro.co.uk:

One of the things that makes life so interesting is that everybody’s different.

And that’s particularly obvious when it comes to sex, because what gets one person’s motors running is often very different from what you might enjoy yourself.

As we’ll discover in this episode of Metro’s A-Z of fetishes, the letter H doesn’t just stand for hair.

One fundamental truth about the language of sex is that some words and expressions are immediately, viscerally hot, while others are really not.

There’s one particular expression that never fails to make my knees buckle, and that’s at the heart of what I want to talk about today.

What is it? ‘I want to sit on your face.’

Women who tell me this or, better yet, that they’re going to sit on my face – can do pretty much anything they like to me after that, because I’m already sold.

It’s easy to pretend your weight isn’t an issue.

You can go through life avoiding flights of stairs, declining trips to the pool, avoiding group photos, and hiding the sweet wrappers so you can pretend the binge never happened.

Trust me – I’ve done it my entire life, and can confirm it’s possible.

I also know it’s a miserable way to live – and it will catch up with you eventually.

12 reasons why doggy style is the best sexual position there is

Most people who are overweight have an ‘oh sh*t’ moment. It’s a time when the penny drops, you take a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror, step on the scales, and see a number you associated with obese people.

Then you realise you’re the obese person. And you’re f*cking up your health.

Breastfeeding isn’t easy.

There’s the struggle to get your baby to latch on. The feeling of failure when things don’t work. The sore nipples, the aching back, the baby’s cries that you can’t decipher.
