    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 ...

    Younger brothers ruin your sex life! Or maybe not… bizarre, News, random surveys | Comments Off
    Eghad! Imagine my shock and horror when I saw the headline in the UK Metro which screamed: "Your sex life can be ruined by your little brother! Any girl knows that having a little brother can be annoying, but worse than that, they can wreck your sex life." I have a younger brother! Oh no! Would a little fratricide be necessary to ensure my sex life stayed happy? And although he is my little brother, he is physically bigger than me, so how the hell was I supposed to rid myself of this sex-destroying sibling? It was a good thing I ...

    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 ...

    Sex Irish style News, random surveys | (3)
    The results of the 2010 Durex Sex Survey are in and as always, the study reveals some interesting and downright surprising information about Irish sex lives. For one thing Dublin’s cosmopolitan urbanites might think they are pretty sophisticated but our country cousins are more likely to engage in a threesome. 23.4% of rural dwellers have had group sex compared to 21.8% of Dubliners. Okay, that’s not a huge difference, but still! Continue Reading...

    Despite their image as ugly man-haters, feminists are better lovers. Fact! A study published in the journal Sex Roles surveyed students and older adults. They found that students and older women who had male partners that considered themselves feminists had happier relationships and that men with female feminist partners were more sexually satisfied. Just letting you know... Read more here.

    Quarter of British women don’t have sex! evil trends, random surveys, relationships, sex and health, sexual frustration | (4)
    Yikes! According to a poll done by Sky Real Lives, 25% of UK women over 35 years old never have sex. The figure rises to 38% in Scotland. The same poll also found that almost all women suffer from violent mood swings during their period. I wonder how exactly these two findings are related... You can read the full story here. According to Toby Young (author of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People) this is because men have become so feminized that they are not really men any more. Interesting, but I ain't buying it. Read his take here.

    Homosexual fantasies common in straight men fantasies, random surveys | (1)
    According to psychologist and author Barry McCarthy, the fourth most common sexual fantasy among straight men is sex with another man, particularly receiving oral sex. Frankly,  I am not particularly surprised at this.... I know loads of straight blokes who have had some kind of sexual experience with another man, and several more who want to but are a bit nervous. Since I write about sex, people tend to divulge these kinds of things to me. Besides which, curiosity is human nature.

    Reefer madness! Smoking dope can ruin your sex life random surveys, sex and health | Comments Off
    Lighting up a joint can ruin your sex life. At least that's according to a report in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. Male tokers can suffer from lower libidos, less testosterone and difficulties in reaching orgasm. Women who indulge have a greater risk of contracting a sexual transmitted disease, presumably because you're less likely to insist on safe sex while high. Hmmm....

    In Britain, 4,000 people were asked what name would be the mostly likely to engage on first date or casual sex.

    If you had to go without: sex vs music random surveys | (5)
    Hmmm... Ok it's a dodgy survey but Marrakesh Records and Human Capital surveyed 1,000 15-24 year-old Brits to ask them which they'd chose - sex or music. 60% of the respondents chose music over sex, and among the 16-19 year age category this rose to 70%. Thankfully it's not a choice you're never very likely to have to make...
