A lot of us are googling how to make a woman orgasm.

Understandable – it is a little trickier than making a person with a penis come, although we would recommend talking to the individual woman rather than relying on Google.

People are also very curious about where the G-spot is, how to get a bigger penis, and STIs.

That’s according to new research from Durex, which reveals the most Googled sex questions around the world.

Here’s the top 10.

The 10 most Googled sex questions:

Jacqueline Adan has lost more than 300lbs. She’s made an effort to get healthier, and she feels brilliant as a result – and, rightly, pretty proud of what she’s managed.

Is the Dr Jart rubber mask worth the faff?

That doesn’t mean she’s 100% confident, mind you.

When Jacqueline went on holiday to Mexico, she was nervous about wearing a swimsuit for the first time in ages.

She managed to overcome her nerves and went to the beach wearing a swimsuit. That’s a big deal when you’re self-conscious; a small act that should be applauded.

What didn’t help to soothe those insecurities was a dose… Read the full story

Oh, Vetements. You edgy brand, you.

Handy tips to help you beat insomnia

Vetements, who you may know as the brand behind jeans with a zip down the butt or the ones responsible for all those giant sweatshirts all the cool kids are wearing, are currently getting some light criticism for selling jewellery that doubles as drug paraphernalia.

The jewellery causing all the fuss: A £250 Silver Snuff Necklace and a Grinder Necklace, also for £250.

Remember this time last year when Sainsbury’s launched its own range of vegan cheeses, and vegans everywhere combusted with happiness?

Literally combusted. Flames of joy everywhere.

The cheeses were made from a coconut oil base, and we were intrigued/hungry so obviously got all the cheese in and taste-tested them.

The phrase ‘in hindsight’ is often used to express some form of regret.

However, looking back can actually be a very useful thing  – especially when it comes to offering advice to those following in your footsteps.

For many people, guidance when going to university can significantly benefit the experience of being a student.

Leaving home as a teenager, meeting new people and being introduced to demanding coursework can be daunting and, without preparation, overwhelming.

While yesterday we were falling madly in love with book and cat lovers house, today we have a new beloved: This amazing house that’s been restored to be entirely 1940s themed.

40 years ago, the Adelaide based owner decided to completely renovate his home to have a 1940s theme – and he’s preserved it perfectly ever since.

The house, based on 85 Wills Street in Largs Bay may have been built in the early twenties, but it’s been deliberately converted to a forties… Read the full story

Lady Penelope is the heroine that we do not deserve.

At times, the Thunderbirds series may have portrayed her as nothing but a high-flying socialite, but the heiress turned secret agent knew a thing or two about saving the day.

Why are we so bothered about making our relationships 'Facebook official'?

That’s why the decadent offering of Lady Penelope themed afternoon tea will be coming to the 02 in homage to the loved character later on this month.

The event, which will take place in at The InterContinental in London, is a rather apt celebration of a woman who is said to… Read the full story

Uber, the king of the gig economy wasteland, has lost its licence to operate in London.

The company, which claims 3.5 million Londoners use its app for a cheap taxi service around London, has been brought into line by Transport For London thanks to its poor corporate responsibility and its refusal to toe the party line with regards to proper regulation.

Yesterday, we spoke to 26 women about what they wish their partners or lovers would stop doing when going down on them.

Weight loss shouldn't be motivated by revenge

Things got interesting. Ultimately most women said they’d like some proper time spent on their vaginas – and they can’t get off when they feel they’re in a rush.

However, the article received a few comments and one in particular really confused me.

It said that it didn’t matter whether oral sex was good or bad – women should be grateful that men are even going down there.

We’ve got some great news for The Little Mermaid fans out there: You can now actually buy Ariel’s pink dress – you know, the one she wore at the dinner table with Prince Eric when she mistook a fork for a comb? Yeah, that one.

Man turns his house into a perfectly preserved 1940s home

US lifestyle brand Her Universe has created their own version of Ariel’s puffy pink dress.

Opting for a shorter cut, unlike Ariel’s dress which flows beneath her ankles, the dress features the exact same shade of pink used in the Disney film, a scooping neckline and puffed shoulder sleeves.

According to the description, the pink tea length dress is completely based on Ariel’s pink dinner gown.

To make it as spectacular as the redhead mermaid’s dress, Her Universe has embellished it with white diamond print detailing on the shoulders, a corset ribbon… Read the full story

A fun fact about me: I don’t have a best friend.

This has not always been the case. At primary school, I had not one but two best friends, Chloe and Sophie. At prep school (I know, I’m a bit posh) I had a best friend called Jessica.

The first time I was aware that the ‘mum clique’ existed was when my first son was a few months old.

I had my first child when I was 22, I was the only one of my friends to have a baby and cracks began to show when our lives were moving in different directions.

They were enjoying being normal 20-somethings, I was learning to be a mum.

I loved my boy, but I was lonely.

I was teetering on the verge of postnatal depression.

So, when I finally plucked up the courage, I ventured to my nearest mother and baby group.

It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that antidepressants are life-savers.

They’ve played a massive part in bringing me out of a depressive period that made me come home from work, lie down, and refuse to move from bed or actually go to sleep for the next five hours. They’ve significantly reduced the frequency of my thoughts of topping myself.

But that doesn’t mean antidepressants are a miracle drug that fixes absolutely everything.

It can take ages to find the right meds and the right dosage (I just got bumped up to 40mg and it’s made a huge difference), and even once you’ve done that, you… Read the full story

But is that what lick is? Are they showing affection?

There are many different reasons, both environmental and biological that encourage your cat or dog to lick you.
