The U.K.'s National Health Service urges students to have an orgasm twice a week.
We're huge proponents of pleasuring ourselves on a regular basis. When we don't our body just feels...what's the word... unhealthy.
Well, today we read that the U.K.'s National Health Service thinks we're on to something. In fact, the NHS is going so far as handing out pamphlets to school children touting "An Orgasm A Day Keeps The Doctor Away." The pamphlet asks the question: why promote healthy eating and exercise and not the maintenance and upkeep of one's sexual organs? Read: Masturbation May Cut Cancer Risk
It's an excellent question, really. Why not strive for five servings of … Read More
Robert Pattinson, Posh & Becks, the Bond girl and Daniel Craig: YT's fave sexy British imports.
It was a big week for Brits in Hollywood: Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe said he thinks Robert Pattinson is a handsome chap (um, who doesn't), Posh and Becks spent hundreds of thousands on one weekend holiday (see below), and Daniel Craig got engaged to Bond girl Gemma Alterton. Our mates from across the Atlantic are seriously dominating our headlines—and we Celebrity Love it. Here's our list of sexy super-faves where we asked in our best English tongue, "What's your relationship stay-tus?"

The UK's longest living married couple shares insights on how they've made it last.
They met at a YMCA dance in the St. Bordeaux area of Plymouth, England in 1926. They were teenagers at the time. Two years later, on May 26, 1928, they tied the knot at a nearby registry office. It was the same year penicillin was invented.
Since then, Frank and Anita Milford have survived the Blitz (with one bomb even landing on their house), separation from their two children during the WWII evacuation, and 81 years of ups and downs.
Now living together in a nursing home in Plymouth, Frank, 101, and Anita, 100, will soon be the longest married couple in … Read More
Especially women with step-kids. So says a nationally funded UK clinic.
Let's first make something clear. We don't think everyone should procreate. In some cases, we really wish they wouldn't. In fact, if we had our druthers, we might actually sit down with a few of them and ask: "Are you really sure you want to do this, Mrs. Hitler?"
That being said, we also aren't in favor of arbitrarily picking and choosing who should be allowed to receive fertility treatments. The New Way To Have It All: First Baby, Then Love
For example, if you're a 27-year-old woman who's been trying for over three years to get knocked up, … Read More
British teenager and his 15-year-old girlfriend now parents to baby girl.
Nadya Suleman, mother of 14, has new competition in the most upsetting pregnancy-related story of the year (yes, it's only February, but still). UK citizen, Alfie Patten, is the proud daddy of 7lb, 3oz baby girl named Maisie Roxanne. So? Alfie is only 13-years-old. *Record scratch*
Yes, this 4-foot tall barely teen and his 15-year-old girlfriend, Chantelle, made the decision to have their baby after becoming pregnant after their very first (and obviously unprotected) sexual encounter. I need 13 showers after writing that sentence, thank you very much.
Of the birth, Alfie says, "I … Read More
Women masturbate more than once thought.
In the shower! In a hot tub! With a vibrator! During a sex dream!
Masturbation: ladies are doing it! Jezebel blogged about a UK study of 1,000 women ages 18 to 30 which found a whopping 92% masturbate!
Two-thirds of women in the Gossard Big M survey touched themselves three times a week and women living in London self-pleasured four times a week.
According to past surveys, 74% masturbated in 1974 and 62% did in 1953. (1953? Who'd have thunk?)
Of course, the study took place across the pond, so we can't be totally sure women here are just as frisky. We'd … Read More
Chocolate body paint pulled from sex shop shelves in UK for melamine contamination.
If you've recently purchased British chocolate-flavored "willy spread," the English term for edible erotic body paint, beware before you lick.
The Ann Summers sex shop chain across the pond is pulling its "I Love You" body spread set from shelves. The chocolate paint included in the set was manufactured in China and has been found to be tainted with melamine. According to TIME, the chemical, when mixed with formaldehyde and cooked, becomes a plastic that was popularly used to make dishes and other household items in the 1930s. In powder form, melamine is detected as a protein, and … Read More
17-Year-Old UK girl youngest to get a sex change.
The person believed to be Britain's youngest sex-change patient -- born Elizabeth, now Alex -- has received the green light for a female-to-male procedure.
Alex has been openly gay since age 15 and lived as a boy for the past year, including flattening his breasts. Now he plans to undergo a double-mastectomy and a hysterectomy.
I'm in awe of a young person able to take such a plunge. With the pregnant man dishing on Oprah's couch here in America, you'd think that gender-bending is accepted. But since we just celebrated Pride Week here in Tango's home city of NYC, … Read More
A new divorce fair puts everything you need in one place.
In response to a rapidly rising divorce rate, Britain will host its first-ever divorce fair, says The Telegraph. Couples will have access to lawyers, financial advisers, and self-help experts.
What are people thinking? Here's my guess: Those who aren't anywhere close to divorce probably think it's a silly idea, a marketing tool, a way to squeeze more money out of people. Those who are thinking about splitting are probably looking for the sign-up sheet.
Austria held a similar event last year attracted about 500 visitors and 20 exhibitors. Britain's fair, called The Starting Over … Read More

From Daily India
London, Apr 3: One in three women regularly fake orgasms, a survey has revealed the average woman has sex 99 times a year, but on 34 occasions they do not reach the zenith.
In the poll of 4,000 women, 30 per cent admitted they had faked an orgasm with every partner they have had. And 90 per cent say blokes cannot distinguish a fake from the real thing.
Twenty per cent said they thought about other men during sex to turn themselves on.
The survey by market researchers OnePoll is not all bad news for the … Read More
