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 basic message of our study is that DNA is not destiny,” said study senior author Sekar Kathiresan, Director, Center for Human Genetic Research at Massachusetts General Hospital in the US.

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.

“Those who have urinary incontinence before a pregnancy are at higher risk of getting significantly worse after childbirth. This is a particularly vulnerable group and should, therefore, be attended to and

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. The study investigated the effect of unconscious arousal on how confident participants felt about what they were seeing when completing a simple task.

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.

Women are likely to be more adventurous in the bedroom as they age even if the number of nights ignited by passion may drop, suggests new research.

The findings are based on a study by University of Pittsburgh researchers who spoke to 39 women about how their sex lives changed with age, Daily Mail reported on Thursday.

The confidence that comes with age may play a role in the increased satisfaction with sex that the women -- aged between

Having sex the night before athletic competition may have positive impact on performance, suggests new research.

These results are surprising, considering the common view that abstinence from sexual activity can boost athletic performance.

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.
