This is a guest post by Anne Davies. Recently things had been going off colour with me and my partner. Usually we are very close and get on fabulously, however, a feeling of disconnection was beginning to dawn on us. Our work days are very different, these differences include working […]
Men generally don’t like to admit there’s anything wrong with their sex lives, or how they perform, but let’s be honest about this and say that things don’t always work just as we want them to. You could use some unnatural blue pill (other colours and brands are available, apparently) […]
The Evolution of Sex Education I’m no expert on how sex and relationships education in schools has changed over the years, but stereotypically things have become more liberal of late, with a focus much more on the process and physical repercussions of sex than on moral and societal issues surrounding […]
I’m not particularly surprised that, when it comes to attitudes about sex and dating, there’s still quite a gap between the genders. A new survey by the free online dating site Smooch of its 37,000-strong member base found that, while 65% of men think that a woman who has sex […]

In 2004, around 9% stated that they were looking for sex […]
British government ministers have admitted that the provision for sex and relationships education in the UK is “patchy”, and has proposed a revamp of the system which will see five-year-olds learning about relationships. When the BBC polled one-thousand people, it found that two-thirds supported the concept of sex education lessons […]
Four in five women are concerned about the current method of contraception used for birth control, yet two in five have stayed with their chosen method for five or more years. That’s according to a new survey carried out in the US by Schering-Plough, which also found that well over […]
Gary Neuman has written a book for women. The Truth About Cheating: Why Men Stray and What You Can Do to Prevent It is a “relationship advice manual” that’s “dedicated to helping wives”. While I haven’t read the book, Marie Claire magazine suggests that the main thrust of the book […]
Magazines aimed at young men, often featuring pictures of scantily-clad women and light articles about sex and sexual encounters, are contributing to irresponsible behaviour and the breakdown of family and society, according to the Shadow Education Secretary, Michael Gove. Suggesting that they simply offer “instant-hit hedonism” during a speech on […]
