Cuddling, snuggling, and hugging: you wouldn’t think these actions could be linked to depression and anxiety, but recent studies have found that the simple act of cuddling can help people who suffer from these ailments. The reason for this is oxytocin, a hormone that your brain naturally releases into your system whenever you engage in cuddling, hugging, or physical intimacy. Scientists already know how oxytocin can make us feel, but recently they have been studying the effects this hormone can have on our behavior over time. For example, if you cuddle your baby enough, it may help to keep them…

While husbands may complain of being brushed off with a gentle ‘not tonight dear’, their wives actually want to have sex far more often than they realise, a study has revealed. A team of researchers found that men in long-term relationships often underestimate how often their wives or girlfriends are in the mood. Scientists think men tend not to initiate sex on some nights when their partner actually is open to the idea – because they are trying to avoid the possibility of sexual rejection, which could leave them feeling upset or resentful. By assuming their partner isn’t interested, and…

While the first ever example dates back to 1839, they’ve become so commonplace in recent years, they’ve earned a place in the Oxford Dictionary and have actually spawned equipment to better enabling taking them. Your grandparents probably even know what a selfie is. Maybe they’ve even been in one themselves – such is their reach. There’s two camps when it comes to selfies. On the one side there are the traditionalists who still actually ask other people to take photos of them on holiday. Then there are the super-fans – and we ALL know one – who know exactly which filter…

A husband divorced his wife hours after their wedding because she was too busy texting her friends to consummate the marriage. The groom took his Saudi bride back to their hotel room after the ceremony in the city of Jeddah. But when he tried to get intimate with her, he was pushed away by his wife because she was trying to respond to congratulatory messages from friends on her phone. She became angry when he asked her to stop. A relative told Saudi daily Al Watan: ‘The groom tried to get closer with her and more intimate, but he was…

A plastic surgeon, with a particular expertise in women’s behinds, has devised the definitive guide to bottom shape, which he says helps women choose the right underwear. According to Dr Matthew Schulman, from New York, all women’s derrieres on the planet fall into one of five categories – square, V-shape, A-shape, round or upside-down heart. Plus he says that knowing which category you fall into can prevent a lifetime of buying unflattering underwear that do nothing to showcase your shape. Dr Schulman told Cosmopolitan.com, for every bottom there exists the perfect pair of knickers. He explained that bottom shape…

Forget counting calories and crunching kale. The key to losing weight is to eat cheese and chocolate and drink red wine, a leading scientist said last night. Professor Tim Spector, of King’s College London, said that everything we think we know about diets is wrong. And that rather than depriving ourselves of our favourite foods, we should make time to eat them. Cheese, chocolate and red wine are all on the menu, as are nuts, coffee and dairy products. The professor’s unorthodox advice stems from his belief that successful dieting isn’t down to calorie counting but the bugs living…

There is a common misconception that the ability to orgasm is within a person’s control – dependent upon their confidence, sexual openness or ability to trust. Furthermore, many people also suggest that it is the size of a penis or the sexual prowess of a partner that determines whether climax will be reached during intercourse. And so, people who struggle to orgasm often feel as if it is their own fault. But, scientists have discovered that the male ability to orgasm depends on signals between the penis, brain and spinal cord – and that disruptions to those signals can…

Believe it or not, your farts are prolonging your life. All the times you were worried that people might laugh if you audibly farted? Well, believe it or not, they should be thanking you — not laughing at the sound or cringing at the smell. According to a study done by Exeter University, farting, the process of releasing gas from the body, is actually healthy. Everybody farts. Whether in private, outside in nature, or surrounded by friends (or complete strangers), the pressure that is built inside from the quivering stomach muscle is released into the world. Depending on what is being…
