Scientists have been busy studying the effects of red wine. Again. The Journal of Women’s Health has recently published a study to challenge the claim that all alcohol consumption increases the risk of certain types of cancer. Their studies have shown that while even low to moderate consumption of alcohol can increase women’s risk of ...
I read a newspaper article today about the ages in the UK at which men and women (or boys and girls, it turned out) are having sex. Its main thrust (ho,ho) was that women are tending to have sex for the first time at a younger age on average, with a recent survey revealing that ...
You’ll be amazed to learn that people do silly things when drunk. Like having sex sans condom. But don’t take my word and everyone else’s for it. Researchers at Canada’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health found that study participants who had consumed alcohol were more likely to say they’d have condomless sex than sober ...
So I don’t have bad karma every Thanksgiving I must say I love the spirit of this holiday. The idea is similar to Christmas and Easter in that you get together with family you may have not seen in awhile to catch up, eat and celebrate some time off work. Now that I have pacified ...
Health news changes about every second, especially when it comes to food. One day it’s, “Eat this!” and the next it’s, “You really shouldn’t be eating that.” But rarely does a food get praised for its health benefits and condemned for cancer risk in the same matter of days. Welcome to the mysterious case of ...
Canadians need a wake up call — The Globe and Mail announced that binge drinking appears to be on the rise. I was shocked. I was so shocked I almost dropped my gin and tonic. This report informs us that binge drinking is linked to an increase in unsafe sex, violence and injuries. I hope ...
Too many people only have sex when they are drunk after a night out on the town or a dinner date with their partner. Did you know that alcohol can both dull the experience mentally and make your body function poorly (i.e. soft erections and lack of lubrication)? Want good sex? Do it sober.
Lately it’s starting to feel like we’re on the brink of a gender neutral revolution. Some passport applications are no longer gender-specific. At Egalia, a Swedish preschool, “him” and “her” don’t exist. One couple caused an uproar by raising a genderless child, and even boys wear pink nail polish. But it seems the trend hasn’t ...
Almost 50 percent of women prefer to have sex drunk. Any way you look at it, that number is pretty darn high. A study of three thousand women aged 18-50 revealed drinking before sex lessened the anxieties they had about their bodies, and made them more confident and adventurous. On average, the women surveyed had ...
If you’ve ever seen the movie Coyote Ugly, you were probably mildly entertained for the hour-and-a-half you sat through it and then put it in the dark recesses of your mind. Recently, it all came flooding back to me as I stepped into a Manhattan bar. My wildest dreams would come true if certain movies ...
