Alien sex toy review
Is it sexy? Or just plain weird? (Picture: Violet Fenn)

I’ve been seeing the alien ovipositor doing the internet rounds for the last couple of years.

But despite reviewing sex toys as part of my job, I’ve never come across one (so to speak) in real life, nor known anyone who’s actually tried getting down and dirty with a sex tentacle.

Is this the most intense sex toy in the world? We braved the Sybian experience

Even articles that had been shared worldwide only talked about doing the alien sex dance, rather than actually, you know, doing it.

It’s been a big few weeks in the beauty industry.

Munroe Bergdorf has been hired as the face of Illamasqua's new campaign

First L’Oreal made us all very happy by announcing that they’d hired their first ever transgender woman to front one of their campaigns. Then, after that woman posted an impassioned statement about race, L’Oreal sacked her, stating that Munroe Bergdorf’s views were at odds with their ‘values’… despite the campaign proclaiming to be all about diversity. Interesting.

That sparked massive debate and disappointment.

Well, quite a lot according to some, with the belief that it can be detrimental to a relationship by setting up unrealistic expectations in the bedroom.

The top 10 sexual fantasies women have (but probably won’t admit to)

There was a simpler time when dating habits didn’t bother me, around the time Mr. Blobby was in his prime and Furbies were still considered to be adorable household pets rather than the precursor to the vicious modern-day robot.

Although I have the dating history of a mature Stilton (sans scent), I have seen the same beyond-parody mistakes being made by men since the age of fifteen.

It’s true what they say – you never forget your first time.

And sure, it isn’t always scintillating or special, but it’s a memory we nonetheless carry with us for the rest of our lives.

Filled with resentment for your parents? Feel like using your future offspring to p*ss them off? You’ve come to the right place.

A new survey from Mumsnet reveals that an easy way to seriously annoy your parents is to give your child, AKA their grandchild, an ‘unconventional’ name.

Take that, Mum.

Mumsnet and Gransnet surveyed more than 2,000 parents and grandparents, and found that 19% of grandparents said they hate or have hated their grandchild’s name.

Meanwhile, one in six parents say they have a parent or in-law who hates their child’s name – suggesting that not all… Read the full story

Every morning we wake up with a sense of ennui, an eternal longing.

We sift through our wardrobe, listless and unenthused. We pull on another grey T-shirt. We go about our days, unfulfilled.

However, the same doesn’t apply the other way around.

Scientists from Aarhus University in Demark looked into whether obesity of type 2 diabetes in one partner could lead to type 2 in the other.

In fact, they’re the cutest looking little testicles you could ever come across, as hedgehog owner Maura has proved:
