There are some questions that you just don't have answers for. Relationship-wise, a question that has probably been around forever is - 'can a guy and a girl be just friends'? While there maybe five in every 10 people who disagree, rest assured, there will be six out of ten who will agree. Looking for a middle ground? Enter the 'fakelationship'. Emma Jones Confused? Well, an urban dictionary explains the phenomenon of a fakelationship as a friendship in which the guy and the girl talk, hang out, text, email ...well you get the drift, on a regular basis. A slight alteration in the aforementioned schedule will make either party feel like a huge chunk of their lives is simply missing. Be warned, fakelationships don't involve hooking up or casual sex — in fact, most of them are quite platonic, but the emotional connect, the dependency upon the other individual in the fakelationship runs deep. It is sort of like there is that 'someone' in your life, yet you...

Women indulge in sex not for love and passion, but for various other "unromantic" reasons— including relieving themselves of boredom, out of pity for a man and even to cure a migraine headache—says a new book. Melissa Marie Peters Why Women Have Sex by Cindy Meston and David Buss has highlighted 200 reasons as to why women have sexual intercourse. While attraction ranks way down in the list, it seems that women go to bed with their partners as a way of relieving boredom, keeping the peace, curing a headache and even as a thank you for a nice dinner. "Research has shown that most men find most women at least somewhat sexually attractive, whereas most women do not find most men sexually attractive at all," the Telegraph quoted the authors, who are both psychology professors at the University of Texas, as saying. The researchers interviewed 1,006 women as research for the book, and found some very surprising answers. One revealed that she did it for a spiritual exp...

Do you believe that your bedroom life is on an all time high, thanks to the immense knowledge you have about sex? Well, we bring you seven never-heard-before facts about the 'S' word, which are sure to leave you thinking... Melissa Marie Peters 1. Globally, lovers are having sex 139 times a year. The French are the lovemaking pacesetters, according to the Durex Global Sex Survey 2002, coming in at 167 times each 365 days. 2. Condoms are biodegradable — some of them. Lambskin and latex condoms are biodegradable, but polyurethane condoms aren't. 3. Sex-enhancing CDs are being sold for setting the mood. Try some classical options to rock your world: Shacking Up to Chopin, Making Out to Mozart and Bedroom Bliss with Beethoven are available. 4. Don't douche — it's not recommended anymore. Douching washes away the healthy bacteria in the vagina and alters the natural, healthy pH level. The practice can actually lead to the spread of infections in the reproductive orga...

Women are these days opting for secret ''lunch hour breaks'', where instead of the usual lunch, they get themselves sterilization appointments. Melissa Marie Peters A private clinic claims it is the first in the country to offer a "walk in - walk out" ten minute procedure which permanently renders a woman infertile, without leaving any scars. "Women can elect to have the quick and painless procedure when it suits them - and their partner won't be able to tell," the Telegraph quoted Cadogan Clinic in Knightsbridge as saying in a promotional ad. Consultant gynaecologist Martin Farrugia, who works for the clinic, said it was a solution for those who didn't want to tell their partners that they did not want any children, or that they felt their family was complete. Others lived "complicated lives" with multiple lovers, which meant they did not want to risk becoming pregnant. "There are many reasons why a woman might choose to have ...

Being flat-chested may once have been an embarrassment, but recent trends indicate otherwise. Ellen Shing, the owner of Lula Lu, a California-based website that caters to AAA- to A-cup sizes, said that while some women do look for padded bras, the majority "don't want to super-size themselves". Diana Morale "It's a misconception that you want to be bigger if you're smaller," The New York Daily News quoted Shing as saying. An increasing number of websites and retailers are saying, "The way you are is perfect, and here's how I can help you" and not "Here's how you stuff your bra", said Elisabeth Dale (formerly Squires), author of Boobs: A Guide to Your Girls. In fact, women with modest busts are proudly flaunting what little they've got with a deep V-neck cut or a halter-top. Twitter, Facebook and online blogs are witnessing a surge in online users "gushing about the lingerie and clothes that scream, ''Can you h...

Salvation is the destination. Love is the way. However, sex provides three interesting detours procreation, recreation and creation – on the path for one who wants to be God! Recently a swami from south India was caught on camera in what the media calls a 'compromising position' with a couple of women. There was a public uproar and he has since been arrested. The swami, in his early thirties, would have gotten away with what is perhaps the result of a hormonal surge had he not vowed to be, well, a swami. Literally, a swami is someone who is a 'master of his senses'. Popular culture tends to look up to a saint or swami as some kind of divine entity. Strangely but true, there is very little room for sexual adventure on the path to salvation. Yet, Nature wholeheartedly designs a 30-odd-year-old man's body for what Nature needs to do: propagation of the species. Nature puts forth several smart promotional schemes to get this job done through its species. The physical...

Don't let toxic people affect your well-being The company you keep is very important, especially for your well-being. Several times, we get stuck with people who bring us down with their negativity, unnecessary nagging, constant whining and pessimistic nature. And before you know it, this negativity starts getting to you, making you irritable, impatient and cranky. Make sure you first realise if they are that way just with you or everyone around them before doing something about it. Keep an eye out for these types... Lindsay Ellingson People who live in the past: Some people refuse to let go of the past. While it is okay to look back on memories, some people tend to keep bringing up painful events. They thrive on the anger and bitterness associated with those events and bring you down. Solution: Excuse yourself when they bring up the subject or tell them that you don't wish to talk about it anymore. Ones who wallow in self pity: There is nothing more exasperating than people wh...
