It’s an ongoing bone of contention among many for centuries: does size matter? Well, a team of researchers has an answer and it isn’t good news for shorter people.

Researchers at Chapman University studied 60,058 people and found a link between bodily size and the number of previous sexual partners.

They found that taller guys tend to get more action, while men who were shorter than average had one to three fewer sexual partners than larger lads and the shortest men had the least previous bedroom encounters.

When talking about troubling sexual encounters some women mention faking sexual pleasure to speed up their male partner’s orgasm and ultimately end sex that they do not enjoy.

For the study, the researchers interviewed a small group of women (aged 19-28) who had been sexually active for at least one year.

“While some women spoke about faking orgasm in positive ways, for instance, as a pleasurable experience that heightened their own arousal, many talked about feigning pleasure in the context of unwanted

A study says that risky sexual behaviours among adolescents and young adults have long been a major public health concern, due to their prevalence and negative consequences for health. Past research has indicated that marriage attitudes may influence sexual behaviour for adolescents. Now, new research from the University of Missouri, has found that attitudes and desires about marriage can place young people on trajectories toward or away from healthy sexual behaviours.

This is the first study to investigate links between marriage attitudes and sexual behaviour across racial and ethnic minority groups as

Pregnant women who are particularly vulnerable to iron deficiency, may also be at risk if iron is found in excess in their bodies. They are likely to develop gestational diabetes, a study has found. As a strong pro-oxidant, free iron can promote several cellular reactions that generate reactive oxygen species and increase the level of oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress induced from excess iron accumulation can cause damage to and death of pancreatic

Following a healthy lifestyle can cut in half the probability of a heart attack or similar events even among those at high genetic risk, say researchers, including one of Indian-origin.

The study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that lifestyle factors — not smoking, avoiding excess weight

Women who suffer from urinary incontinence are at a higher risk of it getting worse after childbirth, a study suggests. According to the study, women who have not given birth are less likely to suffer from urinary incontinence compared to pregnant women.

Are you a selfless personality? If yes, you will have good sexual life as people who help others are more desirable for the opposite gender, have more sexual partners and more frequent sex, a new study has found. Researchers from the University of Guelph and Nipissing University in Canada interviewed about 800 people regarding their relationships and propensity for helping others.

According to the results, published in the British Journal of Psychology, even after controlling for age and personality, altruists — people

The female orgasm has very recently turned into a much discussed topic – listicles, expert columns, think pieces, you name it. And like the gender gap, people are now actively trying to close the ‘orgasm gap’ (since it’s already been established that women tend to orgasm less during sex). And yes, while I do agree that orgasms for women are trickier to achieve, the female orgasm – or rather, female pleasure in itself – does not have to be some arcane ‘science’ which people need to ‘master’ or

A new study from UCL researchers found that subtle, unconscious increase in arousal – indicated by a faster heartbeat and dilated pupils – shape our confidence for visual experiences.

Treating one of the most common and deadly forms of skin cancer with a combination of immunotherapy options may improve survival and lower the risk of life-threatening events in the patients diagnosed in the late stages, a new study has found. Cutaneous melanoma is an aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer. In its early stages, melanoma is often cured with surgery alone, however, most patients who are diagnosed in the late stages of disease are not candidates for surgery and drug therapy is the main course

We all want to shed that extra fat around our waist and belly, but sadly thanks to our sedentary lifestyles, the task gets only harder.

A recent research carried out at the University of Michigan examined how the negative quality of marriage can be a contributing factor to weight gain, possibly leading to obesity, when couples are stressed.

According to IllcitEncounters- people have a habit of seeking sex with someone other than their spouse when they hit the number nine in their current decade, so look out if your partner is 19, 29, 39, 49 or 59 a this could spell trouble.

What better news could we have on National Chocolate Day? Apart from the obvious joy of indulging in a moment of cocoa bliss, there are many additional advantages to our health, and also our sex drive, when we eat dark chocolate.

These ladies will be feeling the benefits of L-arginine. Contained in chocolate, this amino acid can be an eff

 Working night shifts has little or no effect on a woman's breast cancer risk, says a study.

The results could dismiss concerns raised by a review in 2007 by the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) classifying shift work disrupting the 'body clock' as a probable cause of cancer.

"We found that women who had worked night shifts, including long-term night shifts, were not more likely to develop breast cancer," said lead author of the new study Ruth Travis from the University of Oxford.

We all know that water is important, healthy, and essential. More than once, we’ve been told to “drink more water,” while we nodded in silent agreement. We can all agree on that, and we strive to be the kinds of people that remember to drink water on a regular basis.

Drinking red grape juice or wine in moderation could improve the health of over-weight people by helping them burn fat better, says a study.

The researchers, however, cautioned that the chemicals in the dark-coloured grapes do not promise a miraculous weight-loss.

"We did not expect, and we did not find, these compounds to improve body weight," said Neil Shay, biochemist and molecular biologist at the Oregon State University in the US.

But by boosting the burning of fat, especially in the liver, they may improve liver function in over-weight people.

Remember how mom used to ask us to not stay up till late, to avoid the dreaded dark circles?
