Is he fantasising about someone else during sex?

Relationships

May 19, 2014

A new study says that a staggering 57 per cent of men and women admit to fantasising about someone other than their partner when they’re having sex with them.

WHAT?!

Apparently, us ladies are the biggest culprits with 45 per cent admitting to indulging in their fantasy man while getting passionate with their other half.

Who’s yours?

According to the study, a third of all couples (35 per cent) say the most common time they do this is just after they’ve had an argument with their significant other.

But apparently, all this mind-wandering is actually perfectly healthy for your relationship.

Psychologist Dr Pam Spurr said, “Fantasising provides an escape route which helps climax.”

“The fact that women do this more often could be that they feel more shy or inhibited to ask their partner to try a different technique – at least with fantasies, they give women what they need to reach a mind blowing climax without having to ask!”

10 surprising health benefits of getting busy in the bedroom

May 16, 2014

by Amber Saunders

1. Good for your immune system
Apparently, sexually active people take fewer sick days and have higher levels of what defends your body against germs, viruses, and other intruders!

2. Boosts your libido
It’s a Catch 22 kind of situation – having sex apparently improves your libido, which in turn is good for your health.

3. Improves your bladder control
Good sex is like a workout for your pelvic floor muscles. When you have an orgasm, it causes contractions in those muscles, which strengthens them. Good to know for somewhere down the line.

4. Lowers your blood pressure
Research suggests a link between sex and lower blood pressure. But why do we feel so flustered afterwards then?!

5. Counts as exercise
Sex is a really great form of exercise. It won’t replace the treadmill, but it definitely counts for something. Sex uses about five calories per minute, four more calories than watching TV. It gives you a one-two punch: It bumps up your heart rate and uses various muscles.

6. Good for your heart
A good sex life is good for your heart. Besides being a great way to raise your heart rate, sex helps keep your estrogen and testosterone levels in balance. When either one of those is low you begin to get lots of problems, like osteoporosis and even heart disease.

7. Lessens pain
Before you reach for an aspirin, try for an orgasm instead. Studies have shown that orgasms can block pain. It releases a feel-good hormone that helps raise your pain threshold.

8. Reduces risk of cancer
In men that is. Studies have claimed that men who ejaculated frequently (at least 21 times a month) were less likely to get prostate cancer.

9. Improves sleep
You may nod off more quickly after sex, and for good reason. After orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released, which is responsible for the feelings of relaxation and sleepiness. Sound familiar?

10. Eases stress
Being close to your partner can soothe stress and anxiety. Touching and hugging can release your body’s natural feel-good hormone and a brain chemical that revs up your brain’s pleasure and reward system.

Model says she ‘wants to die’ after shocking sex revelation

Model Chrissy Teigen is having some major regret about telling the whole world about her sex life with husband, John Legend.

The stunning model was telling Cosmopolitan magazine about the craziest place she and her husband have had sex when she said: “We were on our way to Thailand to see my parents, flying commercial first class. We were under a blanket. We weren’t even in one of those pod things. I feel like we should get a trophy for that.”

Following the rather shocking admission, it would seem Chrissy is wishing she could eat her words as she tweeted: “and yes my entire family now know I had sex on a plane and yes i want to die thank you for asking.”

Poor Chrissy – we’re turning red just thinking of it!

5 things every guy has thought during sex

Relationships

Apr 25, 2014

by Amber Saunders

A million thoughts run through our minds during the throes of passion, but in the presence of a naked woman, a man’s mind becomes pretty predictable.

Here are five thoughts that have probably crossed your guy’s mind at least once in the bedroom.

1. ‘Am I doing this right?’ When men are turned on, we know all about it. It’s a little more complicated when it comes to us girls, and half the time men have no idea if they’re hitting the nail on the head so to speak. Rumours in the men’s locker rooms of faked female orgasms lead to more second guessing of their bedroom talents.

2. ‘Damn! I forgot to shower.‘ He probably planned to get spruced up before you arrived, but was too tired or lazy at the time, and then got distracted by the prospect of sex. This also goes for all other general grooming – teeth brushing, aftershave, toenail clipping, and so on.

3. ‘My god, she’s hot!’ From a man’s perspective, the best breasts in the world are those that have recently been exposed for his enjoyment. While we self-critique ourselves constantly, men are just delighted to be in the company of a naked you, so relax!

4. ‘Play it cool, play it cool, play it cool!’ You know that scene in Ghost when Patrick Swayze is seducing Demi Moore over a pottery wheel? Well, that doesn’t happen in real life. You don’t see the screen heartthrob rolling on his back trying pull his socks off, or struggling with the finicky little clasp on the back of your bra. He’s smooth from the first scene to the last, and that’s what most guys are aiming for. They want us to think they’re totally in charge, even when they’re so very not.

5. ‘Where did she learn THAT?!’ A guy typically won’t complain if you pull out a brand new bedroom move. That said, if it comes out of nowhere and it’s not something you’ve previously spoken about, he’s definitely wondering where the inspiration came from (Did she read that in a magazine? Learn it from her last boyfriend?).

The things girls do when the guys aren’t around

Lifestyle

Apr 4, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Check out other girls
Girls do this in front of guys as well, but when girls are hanging out with girls and a hot lady walks by, you can be sure that one or all of them will acknowledge her hotness. It might be her coat, her hair, her perfume – whatever it is, it won’t go unnoticed.

Don’t wear a bra
I’m not sure if you guys are fully aware of exactly how uncomfortable wearing a bra is. Imagine if you had to wear a jock strap every time you left the house. That’s why most of the time when we girls get inside and we are alone, the first thing we do is take it off.

Skip Showers
Look, in general, we smell better than boys. It’s just science! We also have so many products to help us look and smell nice, sometimes we can get away with skipping the odd shower. Men don’t seem to realise the effort that has to go into washing your hair, plus the fact that it’s a big wet mop on top of your head which is freeeezing! What did you think dry shampoo was for?

Eat
You know you’ve gotten to a comfortable part of a relationship when you have no problem ordering the whole basket of chicken wings, plus chips, plus nachos and then asking your boyfriend what he wants. When girls get together, they can chow down, and it really is a sight to see.

Talk Sex
“Did you tell the lads what we did last night?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! That is OUR private business.” Yeah, girls might get angry at the thought of their friend-with-benefits/boyfriend/partner talking to a friend about the kinky stuff that went down the night before, but in reality, we all talk. If something happened that was particularly amazing, totally out there, or went horribly wrong, you can be sure it will be brought up at the brunch table the following morning.

Wear guys’ clothes
Yes, we know, it’s seriously annoying losing all your lovely clothes to girls but they just feel so nice. The hoodies, the t-shirts, even the boxers. Everything makes us feel small and they smell like you. OK, it’s a little weird but it’s never going to stop so deal with it.

Fantasise
Everyone dreams up scenarios in their little heads and we’re sure guys do it too, but girls seems to be able to conjure up Alice In Wonderland worthy stories. Weddings, holidays, Oscar wins, Nobel prize awards, fabulous outfits over jaw dropping bodies… we think of it all. And usually with a soundtrack.

Readjust
Tights – the bane of our lives. The minute no one is looking we are hoisting those fuckers. Bra straps, french knickers, thongs… they all need adjusting, and it’s a bitch.

Sing
“I heard that you’re settled down, that you… found a girl and you’re married now ow ow…” We sing in our cars, in our bedrooms, showers, and sometimes, only in our heads. It’s more than likely off key but if we’re doing it in the mirror in a towel you can be damn sure there’s fist clenching involved.

A new online tool called the Sex Calculator tots up the calories you burn during sex.

Yup, you read that right. The #AfterSex selfie is currently trending on Instagarm.

Before you think it’s safe to assume this is merely word play for something innocent, like foodporn, think again.

It is, in fact, people taking selfies, post-sexy time.

We know that social media is a way of letting the world into your life and sharing it with friends but this? Really?

Ok so we are all aware of men’s more, em, obvious erogenous zones.

But there are plenty of other ways to turn him on without going straight for gold.

While some of these are definitely viable, others are just downright ridiculous.

1. Feet
Ya, this one probably isn’t going to happen. Sorry lads.

2. Ears
Whisper sweet nothings, he’ll love it.

3. Inner thighs
Hmm, we wonder why.

4. Back of knees
How do we even get into position for this?

5. Back
We could work with this one…

The rules for a ‘friends with benefits’ arrangement

Relationships

Mar 19, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Don’t stay the night
Whether it’s three in the morning or three in the afternoon, make sure you get out of there. Lazing around whispering sweet nothings into each others ears can only do detrimental damage to any hopes of keeping things strictly s.e.x..so get out of there. Leg it if you have to…

Maintain Respect
It’s a pretty sweet situation to be in if you can, in fact, maintain the no-strings attachment; therefore an element of respect will be required at all times. No one should be taking advantage of anyone as you are both giving each other the best present ever!

No Dates
Yet another ‘routine’ that can see you headed for relationshipville. Don’t even order room service if you end up in a hotel! This is a strictly ‘benefits only’ deal, so keep touching base with your ‘friend’ to see if you’re both still on the same page, but no dates, no cinema….no, no, no.

Act Out Fantasies
It’s just about sex right?! Well then take it further than the boring missionary. Explore some karma sutra magic or try out something you never thought you would. Nurse uniform? Check! Hi vis and hard hat? Check…another hard hat…check.

Stay focused.
This is only about sex, you need to keep telling yourself that. If it changes and you start feeling emotions then you need to either stop doing it or speak up. Either way if emotions start to creep in someone will get hurt.

5 surprising things that turn him on

Relationships

Mar 18, 2014

by Amber Saunders

You don’t have to have the perfect figure to turn a man on. Luckily, there are certain things that make all men go gaga for a woman.

Here are the top 5 things that will instantly turn him on:

An accent
If you score a lot more when you’re abroad then there’s a chance that your accent has something to do with it.

A sexy voice
Whether it’s husky or not, a sexy voice sends shivers down a man’s spine.

A nice rack
Don’t worry about how small it is. Men appreciate a woman’s feminine parts no matter the size.

Full lips
The sight of beautiful full lips makes him want to kiss you – just remember to keep them soft and moisturised.

Dirty talk
Since men are usually the ones who initiate sex, a woman who likes to talk dirty is always a bonus. Just watch how quickly he jumps after you tell him what you want to do to him.
