    BOOBS = CAREER BOOST? Bodies, celebrities, random surveys | Comments Off
    In the forthcoming issue of Hot Press I'm writing about men who stare at women's boobs (and women who stare at men's assets too!). So I was pleased to come across this little gem which claims that 1 in 7 British women use their breasts to get ahead. It should be pointed out that the survey of 1000 British women was conducted by Wonderbra. So not exactly scientific evidence... Now personally I don't any problem with getting out the girls on a date. We all try and put our best...ehem... foot forward when we are after a little something something from the ...

    Muff March! Protest against “designer vaginas” Bodies, evil trends, News, sex and health | (2)
    On Saturday, women are planning to descend on London's Harley Street to protest against vaginal surgery. The argument is porn and popular culture teaches women to feel bad about their genitals if they don't conform to certain aesthetic standards. Labiaplasty is on the increase in the UK (and presumably here too). According to the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology there was an increase of 70% in operations compared with 2007 1,118 labiaplasty operations on the NHS in 2008; 669 in 2007 and 404 in 2006. I'm all for genital grooming, but anything involving scalpels can result in loss of sensation or ...

    Help me! I’ve got big boobs! bizarre, Bodies, Sex and Psychology | Comments Off
    Well, not me... In my last post Marty Klein was defending against dumb male stereotypes, but it appears at least one stereotype is true. Men prefer big boobs. So much so, that they are more likely to stop for hitchhikers with impressive assets. That's according to a study done in France anyway. Luckily bus drivers don't have that luxury... And because I'm really nice (despite the small boobs), here's a pic to brighten your day...

    Half of all ladies prefer to keep their clothes on… Bodies, random surveys | Comments Off
    If the results of the survey by MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk can be believed, 48% of women prefer to keep at least one item of clothing on in bed. The reason for this, according to more than half of the respondents who felt this way, is that it improved body confidence. What's more, their top choice is a bra, which I'll admit is a very useful item of clothing during the day, but not particularly comfortable to sleep in. It's a fairly sad state of affairs if you dislike your body so much you don't want your nearest and dearest to look at it ...

    Are you comfortable being naked? Bodies, Sex and Psychology | (2)
    There probably isn't a man or woman alive that doesn't have at least one hang-up about some part of their body. It's just how we deal with it that differs. In extreme cases, body hang ups can mean you'll never have sex with the lights on or refuse to get completely naked with your partner. Here's a little test from Psychologies to see how comfy you are in your birthday suit.
