In November of last year, Chrissy Teigen announced that she was expecting her second child with husband, John Legend.

And earlier today, she went one step further by revealing the sex of her unborn child in a move which has delighted social media users.

Taking to Instagram six hours ago, the model and author announced that she and John will be welcoming a son into their lives.

"Mama and her baby boy," Chrissy wrote alongside a photo which shows the pregnant mum-of-one tenderly touching her bump at last night's Grammy Awards.

The upload, which has amassed more than 843,000 likes in mere hours, has been inundated with congratulations from fans and followers.

"You’re radiant and every mother to-be’s dream," wrote one Instagram user. "All the best of luck and love in you’re birthing and continuing your beautiful family. You deserve nothing less."

"She must be the most glamorous pregnant woman in ever!" added another.

32-year-old Chrissy, who married John in 2013, welcomed baby Luna in 2016 after battling fertility issues.

Speaking to Us Weekly, Chrissy confirmed that she and John took the same route when conceiving their second child, saying: "We did the IVF thing again. We put it in, we knew what was going on. So, that was easy. But we’re really excited."

A survey conducted by the infamous cheating website, Victoria Milan, has revealed that Irish men the most likely to become angry when denied sex.

For the study, researchers asked 9,507 females from 23 countries to note how men react to rejection in the bedroom – and the results were very interesting indeed.

Worryingly, anger or aggressive behaviour was the most common response, with men form Ireland, Hungary and Portugal proving to be the biggest offenders.

According to the website, this unacceptable reaction is likely caused by a need to mask the deep feeling of embarrassment.

Boo-frickin-hoo.

The next most common reaction came in the form of the silent treatment, with Austrian, Swiss, Finnish and Norwegian men most likely to give their partners the cold shoulder.

Reasoning, pleading and manipulation were also common with men from Czech Republic, Greece, France, New Zealand and Poland often finding themselves barred form the bedroom by women who are sick of their tactics.

But, all hope is not lost. There actually are some men out there who can handle the rejection and don't apply pressure.

Men from Australia, Netherlands, Sweden, The UK and The United States were all found to be respectful of their partners wishes – so, you'll just need to start looking a bit further afield.

There has been a lot of talk in recent weeks about how the amount of sexual partners someone has had can impact their current or future relationships. 

The conversation got started when a Spin 1038 listener contacted the radio show about his girlfriend, complaining that he found her number too high and asking for advice on this issue. 

The comment section on the corresponding Facebook post was completely going off, with most commentators advising that the man told his girlfriend how he felt so that she could dump him for being close minded.

Some people expressed that they found the girlfriends number too high, but most pointed out that if the boyfriend had a male friend with that many sexual conquests, he would probably be getting high fives from the boyfriend, rather than being shamed.

This points out the distinct double standards that can exist when it comes to male and female sexuality, but also proves that plenty of people think that the 'number' is obsolete in todays' society.

Now, new research has arrived to back up this anecdotal evidence.

A study by DrEd found that when it comes to the number, the majority of people don't think it makes a blind bit of difference. 

In fact, according to a poll of 1000 people, 52pc of men and 59pc of women held no preconceptions about the number of former partners someone had, and felt that it made no difference to the sexual encounter whatsoever. 

However, 40pc of European men thought that the more partners someone had, the better the sex would be.  Only 8pc of both genders thought that the encounter would be worse due to the previous amount of sexual partners their current partner had, according to the Lying Beneath The Sheets study. 

However when it comes to discussing their number, the social stigma attached to having lots of sexual partners has led some to feel shame for their sexual experiences. 

18pc of European men think their number is too high, along with 30pc of women, the study found. 

The study also found that women are more likely to report feeling ashamed by their sexual history 'when in reality, the physical and emotional perks of sex can benefit everyone.'

A further 30pc of women feel that their number is average.

74pc of women are honest about their previous experience, however 22pc feel pressured to undersell their number by 10 partners or more. 

24pc of men also feel the need to undersell their number by 10 partners or more, so maybe we should all just be being honest about our number as it seems that roughly the same amount of men and women are underselling their number by the same amount, according to the data found in the study poll. 

Despite this, people polled in the study also told researchers they 'had an idea – both a minimum and maximum – for the number of people they felt it was OK to have slept with.'

When probed, men in their 20s said they thought 7 people was too many for a woman to have slept with, while women thought 10 was too many for a man to have slept with. 

Frankly, as long as both partners enjoyed safe and consensual sex, who the heck cares about how many people they have been with?

Perhaps it's time to shake off the social stigma and choose to be accepting of people's sexual choices, no matter how many or few they make.

As far as we’re concerned, the best time to reach for an alcoholic drink is when you’ve officially had it up to here with life, and need a quick sip to take the edge off.

And that, ladies, is why we let the experts tend to the scientific research because we are, in fact, a little short of the mark on this one.

According to research compiled by the health and wellbeing firm Forza Supplements, the best time to chill-out with the first drink of the day is 6.10pm – four hours before we go to bed to maximise liver recovery time.

And it’s not just alcohol that our body clock has a specific response to, either.

The recent findings suggest that there exist optimum times for a number of activities, from work and sex to exercise and sleep.

The best time to have sex is at 7.30am – around 45 minutes after you wake up because energy levels are at their highest after a good night's rest which means you have more stamina.

The rush of endorphins sparked by sex lowers blood pressure and stress levels and makes us feel more upbeat for the rest of the day.

And once you’ve gotten down and dirty with your other half, researchers claim the individual is best suited to work-related tasks.

Apparently, our concentration levels peak three hours after we wake up so the best time to do the most taxing jobs at work is around 9.45am as your memory, focus and creativity levels are at their best.

And now to exercise.

Studies have found that strength is at a low point in the morning and gradually climbs until it peaks in the early evening.

So, if you’re a gym bunny with a focus on weights, you’re likely to do your best work in the early evening.

And where does sleep feature in all of this?

Well, researchers assert that the best time for sleep is at 10.10pm – allowing for 20 minutes to get to sleep and 90 minutes of the most restorative non-REM sleep which is most likely to occur prior to midnight.

Commenting on the findings, Forza Supplements managing director, Lee Smith, explained: “What we set out to do was to find out the absolute optimum times to work, rest and play.”

"While no two people are the same, these were found to be the very best times for the average person to do the key activities which make for a healthy and happy life.”

You heard the man.

Forget the pots and potions, we've found the true elixir of life – and it's all about getting busy in the bedroom.

Scientists in California have found that regular sexual intimacy is associated with delayed aging process in women – no really. 

A preliminary study published early this year, found that women who reported having sex during the course of the week tended to have significantly longer telomeres (the protective ends caps on our DNA that that protect the chromosome from fraying), than those who didn't. 

Tomás Cabeza de Baca, lead researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, said: “Based on this body of research, we wanted to explore whether there was a health-enhancing relationship between sexual intimacy, telomere length, a biological index of systemic aging and health.”

“We wanted to examine whether sexual intimacy, within the context of a committed long-term relationship, may offer protective benefits to these markers of general health.”

The study, which looked at 129 women in long-term relationships, found that recent sexual imtimacy was positively associated with two measures of telomere length.

They also factored in  the women's overall relationship satisfaction, perceived stress levels, and partner support.

Of course, this study isn't without it's limitations.

It's quite possible that the women who reported the most sexual activity also just so happened to be the healthiest in the group.

But hey, having more sex aint gonna kill you, so knock yourself out!

So, the weather is heating up, and according to new research so too are our sex lives.  

A new survey has revealed all the unusual places we love to have sex – and there's a few surprises.

Sex toy retailer, Lovehoney, asked 1,000 people where they liked to get hot and heavy outside the bedroom and the results showed that couples are becoming more and more adventurous.

The shower proved to be the most popular location, aside from the bedroom, with 92 per cent of couples revealing they have indulged in the act.

In second place – the sofa (84 per cent) followed closely by in front of the television (74 per cent).

When it came to locations outside of the home, many couples admitted to getting it on in some rather risqué places.

Just over one third of us have been intimate in a greenhouse or garden shed while 26 per cent of us have gotten frisky in a garage.

Sex on a train was the next favourite with around 15 per cent of couples revealing they had used the opportunity to indulge in a little alone time.

Meanwhile, only one in ten of us can claim membership of the Mile High Club.

Check out the full list below.

1. In the shower – 92% of couples
2. Bath – 89%
3. Sofa – 86%
4. In front of TV – 74%
5. Kitchen table – 65%
6. Garden – 58%
7. Car – 57%
8. Stairs – 47%
9. Greenhouse or garden shed – 37%
10. Garage – 26%
11. On top of the washing machine – 21%
12. Train – 15%
13. Plane – 11%

A spokesperson for Lovehoney said: "Couples are becoming increasingly adventurous – and that has to be good thing."

"Sex in the shower was the runaway winner and we find that tends to get even more popular as the weather heats up."

“In the last month searches on the Lovehoney site for ‘Shower Sex’ and ‘Sex in the Shower’ have rocketed by over 700% – suggesting that when the sun comes out, we look at more risque places to have sex including the shower."

The research also revealed that couples who have a satisfying sex life, actually have a more fulfilling relationship overall.

"All Lovehoney research shows that couples who are happy in the bedroom have better and more fulfilling relationships."

According to Tracey Cox’s Guide To Sex In Adventurous Places, we would all benefit from opening our minds to sex in non-traditional locations.

“Just as there are certain sex acts that shouldn't be missed, there are places you should have been naked in.”

“Garden sex is fun, especially on a swing… Some claim the only time our bodies are truly at peace is when the sun beats down on us because the sun's and body's biorhythms are the same.”

You've just got to be sensible about it. She recommends you leave on as many clothes as possible and have an exit strategy planned in advance.

According to research in the US, millennials are having way less sex than previous generations.

And now, a sex therapist based in the UK has blamed one thing for it; porn.

Peter Saddington told Glamour that men now think they know everything when it comes to antics in the bedroom, and we don't "fumble" around like we used to.

"Most guys don’t take long to become aroused or to ejaculate, so the sex in porn is vigorous, aggressive, quick.

“In times past, we learned about sex by fumbling. Now, he’s seen things that make him feel like he knows what to do," Peter explained.

"It’s why, on the first time, he expects anal sex. There’s no slowly working up to things because porn also portrays that women want it fast. Women in porn aren’t saying, “ooh, it’s nice if you slow down” – they encourage the total opposite.”

Peter also explained how he thinks mental health can be a factor too.

"For women, depression likely leads to a loss of sexual desire. For men, loss of desire can be there.

"But if he’s withdrawing from everyday life, not wanting to work or feeling angry or upset, he might want to be more sexual because it’s a way of connecting.”

Do you think he's right?

Hey guess what? 

Periods are a thing. They arrive every month (or three weeks. or sporadically, or whenever the hell they decide to arrive), but despite their frequency and necessity, we can still be pretty squeamish about them. 

Especially when it comes to sex, according to a new study. 

A study from Flex found that women are twice as likely as men to turn down sex with a new partner thanks to a period.

89 per cent of people cite the mess and potential clean up as a reason to avoid the act, which is understandable, who wants to ruin yet another bed sheet with a blood stain?

However for the 30 per cent of men and women who want more period sex at all stages of the cycle, we say just put a towel down. 

55 per cent of people polled think that period sex is fine and natural, while 45 per cent think that it's gross, so this is a pretty divisive issue.

From the mess to feeling bloated and just generally not being in the mood, period sex can seem like a bit of an ordeal to some people.

However, some women claim to feel more sexually aroused while on their period than usual. 

In fact, 20 per cent of women in the survey said they were extra horny at that time of the month. 

Flex (which is a tampon women can wear during sex) founder Erika Jensen encourages sexual partners to try sex on your cycle if it's something you want to do.

'If there is something you’ve never done because you’re scared or embarrassed or (worst of all) set in your ways just because, I urge you to do it,' she said.

'Or talk to someone who has done it. Explore a new perspective.'

70 per cent of people have a conversation about being on their period before the sex occurs, just to be sure that their potential partner is aware that the menses have arrived as a common courtesy. 

However, 45 per cent of women have had a partner turn them down for sex because they were on their period.

It's probably time that period sex was normalised, after all, it's an extra week in the month of potential sexy time we could all be having, but squeamishness is holding us all back.

“We should encourage procreation. I believe that sex is often in short supply. Everyday life is stressful and the children are at home,” Erik Muskos, an Overtornea councilman, told The New York Times.

“This could be an opportunity for couples to have their own time, only for each other.”

Erik continued: “Sex is also a great form of exercise and has documented positive effects on well-being.”

We totally understand the wisdom, as studies have proven that nicer people have more sex, and that sex triggers the release of dopamine, which is an all-round good time.

It's no secret that men have a much easier time reaching orgasm than women do.

While we do indeed have the capacity to enjoy multiple orgasms, that doesn't mean we always get to. (Sigh.)

And that's apparently where the Orgasm Shot comes in.

According to The Independent, Harley Street clinician, Dr Sharif Wakil, is keen to give patients the kickstart they might need in the bedroom with the help of the O-Shot.

Invented by Dr Charles Runels, the O-Shot claims to increase sexual arousal and can 'rejuvenate a woman's vagina' as long as you're willing to shell out £1,000 for the 40-minute procedure, that is.

After producing Platelet Rich Plasma from platelets containing the patient’s own blood, the clinician injects the substance into various areas of the vagina in order to ensure a more pleasurable sex life.

According to Dr Wakil, patients have reported stronger and more frequent orgasms, increased natural lubrication and greater arousal, but stresses that it shouldn't be considered a miracle cure.

Speaking to The Independent, he highlights the various factors which may reduce the outcome of the treatment.

"The results in general of the o shot varies, I always explain to my patients, it depends on where we are at the starting point, for example, their age, if they have medical conditions or  whether they have hormonal problems," he explains.

"This is a part of the female body that sees a lot of changes through life: from delivery, menopause, hormonal changes, and aging. So we have to expect some reduction in sensation at least for some but we should not treat this is as an abnormality."

Insistent that women shouldn't ignore issues relating to female sexual disfunction, Dr Wakil reasons that the repercussions are far-reaching.

"The abnormality is not seeking help because of a stigma, in my opinion, ignoring female sexual dysfunction with the negative effects it could have on the female life, family, socially and work for example is one form of female abuse."

Having carried out more than 2,000 procedures, Dr Wakil confirms he has never seen any side effects of the injection.

Kylie Jenner took to Twitter last night ot tell fans that she will be removing herself from her app for the time being.

Kylie, who has always had input and directed the content for her application Kylie, is stepping down after comments she claims she "never said" were posted to the site.

The comments were about her intimate sex life with long term boyfriend Tyga, and included a suggestion that the way to keep your man happy was through the use of sex toys, massages and lingerie.

The post, called Kylie: How I Spoil My Man, has since been deleted.

The teenage makeup maven took to Twitter to tell fans she will be quitting work on her app for the foreseeable future after the article was posted, allegedly without her permission.

The post was "very personal" and the star felt that it was "unfair" that it had been published. 

The post outlined a number of ways that Kylie apparently "takes care" of Tyga, including cooking for him and his friends, creating a "fun sex life" and bringing him breakfast in bed.

"This morning, a drafted article was inadvertently posted for a short period of time on Kylie's app. This was a draft that was not in Kylie's words, was not Kylie's idea and had not been sent to her for approval," said a spokesperson for the Kylie app. 

However, fans aren't happy with Kylie's decision to step down from the app:

"What's the point of having an app in your name if you don't post on it? Or am I missing something?" said one.

When Kylie will come back to her app in the wake of the unapproved post has yet to be seen.
