So previously we looked at the best types of sex you will have in your lifetime

Unfortunately, it won't all be amazing, whether you have one partner or many in your life, bad sex will be encountered. 

1. Drunk Sex

You think it was great at the time until you wake up, unsatisfied and with a note slipped under the door asking you to quietly shut the f*** up. 

2. First Time Sex

No, we don't mean first time sex with your new beau, we mean first time sex ever. Nightmare. 

3. Quiet, Awkward Sex

In films there’s loud breathing, panting, Barry White and a thunder storm. In your bed there’s the sound of squeaking flesh and a silence so dense you could swim through it. You’re actually pretty sure that you can hear your next door neighbour's cat killing its next prey. There goes a fire alarm in the next street. Oh and their knee just clicked. It’s actually so damn awkward that you’re secretly kind of hoping someone's phone rings, if only to break the silence.

4. Sex With No Benefits

All give and no receive makes us unhappy women. Not to mention frustrated. 

5. Sympathy Sex

Of course none of us have ever slept with someone purely out of sympathy. Of course not, that’d be a totally terrible reason for sleeping with someone, after all. Whether they had a bad day in work, discovered that they had insufficient funds or failed to get into their favourite jeans, sometimes the only way to ensure that they’re feeling better, is to have sex with them. It's a sacrifice, like a white lie of sorts. "Of course I want to shimmy in my sexy underwear instead of getting into my dressing gown and watching True Detective while eating Frosties from the box."

Let’s face it, everyone loves a bit of random flirting, be they male or female. In a shop, at the bar, on the street, a randomer finding you physically appealing enough to start a conversation with you can sometimes be the highlight of your day. 

There are certain places however where being chatted up can only end in disaster:

1. An STI Clinic

There's going to be questions asked, don't say we didn't warn you…

2. A Courtroom

"Soooo…what did you do?"

3. At a Family Occasion

Yes that cute waiter may have winked at you at your granny’s 80th birthday but proceed with caution. For the majority of your relations you are still twelve and nothing will shatter that illusion quicker than playing tonsil tennis in their presence. Don’t do it.

4. At Work

Unless you’ve landed some form of a dream job the majority of students part-time occupations are boring, demanding, smelly or all three. Sometimes a customer might make a suggestive comment that makes you blush or a co-worker might give you a flirtatious nickname but you’re probably too tired/stressed/sticky to notice. Save it for the Christmas party.

5. A Bathroom Line

I know you just peed and haven’t washed your hands. Step away.

6. The Lingerie Section

There’s only three reasons any straight lad should be in a lingerie section.

a) They’re picking up something for their other half.

b) They like smelling women’s underwear or

c) They’ve gotten lost in a Father Ted-style incident and are desperately trying to escape. Only in the third case should you return the conversation.

7. During the Walk of Shame

Last night’s dress, banshee hair, panda make up and carrying stilettos. No one looks good this way. 

8. When on a Date with Someone Else

Nothing will kill any potential romance there could be faster.

9. McDonald’s at 4am

Just the food, seriously. 

10. Any Form of Public Transportation after 9pm

Nothing good happens at night. Your Mammy warned you about this.

We really did think these two would never, ever, ever get back together (sorry).

It has been rumoured today that Taylor Swift and her ex-boyfriend, John Mayer have been seeing each other again, after being spotted at the same place recently.

Taylor and John dated for three months back in 2009 but had a rather bad break-up that resulted in Taylor writing the not-so-flattering ballad, Dear John.

He did not appreciate the gesture, needless to say: “It made me feel terrible”, he said, “Because I didn’t deserve it.”

However, now it seems like all may be forgiven between the two after they were both seen exiting the Chateau Marmont last night – could they be seeing each other again?!

The sighting comes only three days after Taylor released the video for her hit song, Shake It Off, which has instantly become a hit.

The song is also said to be a diss against Taylor's exes – John included. We wonder how that went down over dinner?!

Sex is great – we all love it! But there are some types of sex that are just better than others. Here's the most memorable sex you will have in your life:

1. First Time Sex
We don’t mean the time that you lost your virginity, because we all know that was awful sex. But after you’ve taught yourself a few moves and finally feel confident that you know what you’re doing under the sheets, first time sex with your new partner feels incredible. It can be awkward and nervous at first, but once you find your rhythm everything falls into place. Sparks fly, birds are singing outside your bedroom window.

2. Make-up Sex
Make-up sex is up there with the best of them. There’s no better way to close an argument with your boyfriend than by getting up close and personal. You’re still angry and hate your partner a little bit because you’re still mad about whatever it was you were arguing about, and all this added ferocity boils into a beautiful concoction of unbelievable make-up sex. If you feel like you’re stuck in a rut and need to spice things up in the bedroom, start a silly argument for the sake of it, so you can jump into make-up sex later. Healthy.

3. Revenge Sex
Revenge sex is an awful and spiteful thing to do, but at the time you’re doing it, it does feel incredible. Because let’s face it, you’re doing it for a reason. You may be doing it to get back at someone who wronged you, and you may feel like an awful human being once that nut is busted, but when that Marvin Gaye music is ringing in your ears and you’re doing the no pants dance, that’s the last thing on your mind. Who ever said that revenge wasn’t sweet?

4. Marathon Sex
Okay, marathon sex is just the best. There’s no better way to explore your partner’s needs and figure out what they like best, then to go at it two, three, or even four times in a row. Practice makes perfect, and boy you’re getting a whole lot of practice!

5. Secret Sex
Secret sex is so, so satisfying because, like Monica and Chandler out of Friends, having to hide your sexual relationship makes it all the more fun and sexy. Whether it’s because you’re cheating (bold), hiding them from your disapproving parents or just sneaking around for the fun of it, secret sex is like Christmas to those dirty thrill seekers. Enjoy it while you can though, because you’ll always get caught in the end.

It's good to be single lots of the time, as much as it is to be in a relationship. But certain times in your life can be better when you're single. Maybe it's that you'll be away and miss them, or sometimes it's just to feel free. 

1. When You Want To Travel

Everyone claims that they want to travel the world, but few actually go out there and do it. It’s especially difficult to do if you’re in a relationship and your partner doesn’t see adventuring as being high on the list of priorities. When you’re single you have no one else’s feelings on the matter to take into consideration, just a plane ticket and hope.

2. On A Girls Holiday

There’s always that one poor relationship bound sap who spends their whole lads/ girls holiday desperately trying to avoid temptation, while watching their single friends clean up on action. It’s not that you even want to latch yourself face first on to the nearest possible target, it’s just that the choice to do so, is the best part of all. You’ll never know what tomorrow has in store when you’re a singleton, after all.

3. On Nights Out

Being single in a nightclub (Coppers, for example),  is what being single is all about. Getting ready, thinking about the night ahead, no jealous partner sitting at home texting you every few minutes. You’re free to flirt with, get drinks off and meet whomever you wish.

4. When You’re Studying

There’s no greater distraction than a relationship when you’re trying to get your head in the study game. You’re cramming months worth of crap into your head, when all you really want is to go and be loved up. The only option is to turn your phone off in the vague hope that they won’t distract you for twenty minutes. Alas, you can kiss all of these problems goodbye when you’re single. No love woes, no distractions, no problem.

5. During Your College Years

Being in college and being single is the perfect combination. Like tea and toast, eggs and bacon, cereal and milk (mmm…bacon). You’re free to experiment, meet new and interesting people, do whatever it is that you want to do. No long distance other half at home, crying down the phone to you. Bliss.

6. At A Festival

Couples at a festival are like a bad cold that you just can’t shift. One of them is most definitely there out of pure habit and both are trying to avoid an inevitable blow up from occurring. Being single at a festival means the freedom to go and see whatever band tickles your fancy, dancing until 6am if you feel like it and best of all, you’d never know who could end up in your tent…

7. During A Shopping Spree

Who wants to be that boyfriend? You know, the one who sits there with sixteen bags hanging off his arm, pained expression to boot, wishing he was anywhere else but here. 

8. During The World Cup

The world cup for anyone not interested in football, was like an extended bout of crippling stomach cramps. Horrific. Painful. Uncomfortable. All the single football hating beings out there got to avoid this painful time and for that they are eternally grateful.

9. When You See How Miserable Your ‘Loved Up’ Friends Are

There’s always a few couples who should clearly not be together, it’s as obvious as the sky is grey. Why they don’t break up is the burning question on everyone’s lips. Why would they, sure isn’t making everyone else around them uncomfortable the whole point of being in a relationship anyway? Rest assured that they spend 90% of the time looking at your carefree single life and crying internally. You’ve got it all.

There are many, many things you should apologise for in this life. Being a One Direction fan, standing up for Justin Bieber, thinking that kale tastes good. That said, there are a lot of things that you should never apologise for. Life is too short to worry about every single little thing. Here are the things that you should never apologise for:

1. Spending Your Hard Earned Cash

You’ve worked your little heart out for that money, why not go and treat yourself? After all, there are far too many savers in the world. You can’t bring the money with you when you die.Splurge and be happy. 

2. Letting Go Of Bad Relationships

You should never feel bad for leaving behind a bad relationship; whether it was a past love or a friend. If you’re miserable and dread seeing them every time, then it’s time to pack up the past and move forward.

3. Being Brutally Honest

There’s nothing wrong with telling someone some harsh home truths, from time to time. Whether it’s calling them out on their bad behavior or bad outfit choice, honesty can be refreshing from time to time, in this oh so two faced world.

4. Having A Lie In

Is there anything like waking up at 7am on a Saturday morning and realising you don't have to get up? Bliss…

5. Letting Loose Every Once In A While

Sometimes all we need to feel sane is the promise of a night of socialising and general shenanigans. When the going gets tough, a night out with friends is sometimes all you need to get going again. No guilt involved.

6. Having Unusual Tastes

Yes, even the kale. 

7. Wanting Some Alone Time

No one knows you better than you, so who better to whittle away a few lost hours with? Society has moulded our brains in such a way that we feel as though being alone is something to be ashamed about. Well it shouldn’t. Go enjoy some ‘you’ time today.

8. Not Wanting A Traditional Future

Just because you don’t want a house in the suburbs with two kids and a cat, doesn’t make your future any more viable than the next person’s, or vise versa for that matter. Dream big and aspire to be whatever you want to be, there’s nothing stopping you.

9. Always Carrying Snacks, Just In Case

You’ll never know when hunger will strike, so it’s always handy to have a few snack supplies nearby, just in case. Snacks are a way of life, end of.

10. Being Single And Happy

Do you receive a rush of pity whenever you mention to someone that you’re a single pringle, despite being single because, oh I don’t know, you WANT to be? Because you’ve seen your friends get hurt, one by one and don’t really fancy it happening to you? Because you like to go out and meet new and interesting people without having a six foot bag of misery attached to your arm? Imagine that.

11. Wondering If There’s More To Life

If you feel stuck in a rut, are bored, are dreaming of what else could be out there, then don’t give up. Get out there, try new things, travel, move, apply for that job, shun the negative ones who tell you that this is it. Because this isn’t it, there’s so much more to be found, so just go and find it.

12. Swapping The Gym For A Film Night

It’s a cold, miserable evening and the thoughts of donning lycra and sweating for the next hour, is enough to make you want to cry. So instead, you stick on a great film and curl up on the couch for the evening. That’s most definitely not a thing to feel bad about. The fact that you even considered the gym as an option, is an achievement in itself…

So, you have that big wedding planned when you suddenly realise:

What are your options? Well, you could take a leaf out of Tucker Blandford’s book and fake your death. No? A break-up would be far easier, we have to agree.

Tucker met his former fiancée, Englishwoman, Alex Lanchester, when they studied together at the University of Connecticut in 2012.

After spending time together and falling in love, Alex’s time to return home loomed. Not wanting to lose her, Tucker proposed and she said yes.

Alex began to plan her big day, while Tucker said he had the venue booked for August 15, four days ago.

One day, Alex got a phone call from someone claiming to be Tucker’s dad, saying he had been depressed and had committed suicide. Alex described this surreal moment, saying: “The man explained that they had been trying to send Tucker off to a psychiatric unit for help. But it was too late. I couldn’t breathe. It was absolutely devastating."

When Alex called Tucker’s mom, she found out this was not true, he was alive and well but had told her they had called off their engagement.

Tucker has since spoken about his actions, saying: “I’m a terrible, awful person. I know I shouldn’t have told her I was dead, but I didn’t know what else to do … At the time I just felt like I couldn’t tell the truth and thought if I could just postpone everything it would be better.”

Moral of the story? Don’t be afraid of confrontation!

This. Is. Amazing.

So, by now it looks as if there may be some real truth to the rumour that Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin are dating.

The news comes not long after Jennifer’s split from long-term boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult, was announced and only a week after it was revealed Chris’s ex, Gwyneth Paltrow, is dating Glee’s co-creator, Brad Falchuk.

So far, the best thing to come out of this unusual coupling (sorry…) is their, quite frankly, hilarious nickname.

Let’s face it, it was never going to work with their first names, was it? Instead, the focus was shifted to their surnames and Martin Lawrence was born.

Yes, that’s right, real Martin Lawrence, Jennifer and Chris just stole your name. You’ll have to find a new one.

It seems as if Gwyneth Paltrow just cannot escape rumours about her love life.

From a reconciliation with her ex, Chris Martin, to being linked with this new name, we just can’t keep up!

It has now been reported that the Iron Man actress is dating none other than the co-creator of Glee, Brad Falchuk.

For those who watch the show, this may not come as a big surprise, seeing as Gwyneth has appeared on the show many times as character, Holly Holliday.

Brad and his ex-wife, Suzanne, called an end to their 10-year marriage only last year, while Gwyneth and Chris announced their separation in March.

Whether the rumours may be just that, rumours, Chris and Gwyneth seem to be in a very loving and mature place.

There is a lot that goes on in a guy’s mind, but not all of them you can say to us girls. Here is a list of things guys think, but don't say: 

1. “Why do you wear so much makeup?"
It’s actually a compliment, but if you said it to a girl you don’t know how they would take it. 

2.  "I wish you would make a move”
Though many women these days are brave enough to make a move, so many more of us think it should be up to the guy. 

3. “Your friend is hot”
You know he is thinking it but God help him if he says it…!

4.  "I would rather hang out with my mates”
Sometimes guy’s  need to just hang out with their friends, but they don’t want to upset things and so they stay in with their girl. It’s ok to blow them off every now and again, but a guy needs to see his mates just as much as a girl needs to see her besties.

5. “I’m actually broke”
When a guy pays for a meal usually he is just doing it to be courteous and a lot of the time he is actually broke. If a girl offers to pay her share of the meal, guys will always be grateful.

6.  "I’m so immature”
As the saying goes “boys will be boys” and no matter how grown up they get, there will always be some immaturity in there. As much as they put on a front of manliness, once they get with friends any maturity goes out the window. 

7. “I have no idea what you’re talking about?"
They simply have no idea what is actually coming out of your mouth most of the time. Just go with it. 

8.  "Why do you bitch about other girls so much?”
They may think this, but at the same time they'll be giving out yards about their bro's new girlfriend. Pot. Kettle. Black. 

9.  "I don’t know what to do when you cry”
Guys don’t deal with drama well and if a girl is crying, sure they will comfort us, but inside they have no idea what to do. 

10. "I don’t know which looks better on you”
Girls insist on asking guys which outfit looks better on them, and they generally have no clue. 

shrug animated GIF

11. “That dress does make you look fat”
Thankfully, if you are with a good guy, he won't think it, let alone say it. 

12.  "I actually don’t want to watch a chick flick”
Suuuure…

13.  "I get really jealous when I see you with other guys”
If a guy likes a girl of course he is going to get a bit jealous when he sees her with other guys, it’s only natural. Even if you have been together for a while, there is always that seed of doubt that is planted in a guy’s mind.

14. “I don’t want to meet your parents”
Your dad used to be a bouncer? See ya!

15. “Stop stressing out so much about how you look"
Well, we kind of wish they would say this one…

It has been revealed that infamous couple, Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchinson, are back together!

The couple are planning on getting married (again) and the news was announced by Courtney herself over her Twitter account.

When a fan asked her to confirm the happy news, she replied: “It’s true, hun.”

Courtney and Doug received a lot of media attention during their relationship due to the big age gap between them; Courtney was only 16 at the time, while Doug was 51.

The married couple later announced they were separating in November 2013.
