data-gallery-legend="1"> <h2> <span class="counter">1/20</span>  'Weird' sexual fetishes are actually very normal </h2>  <p>A number of sexual fetishes considered anomalous in psychiatry are actually common in the general population, a study has found. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), sexual interests fall into two categories: normal (normophilic) and anomalous (paraphilic). Researchers asked 1,040 Quebec residents, representative of the general population, about their experiences of sexual behaviour considered abnormal by the DSM-5. The study, published in The Journal of Sex Research, found that of the eight types of anomalous behaviour listed in the DSM-5, four were found to be neither rare or unusual among the experiences and desires reported by men and women</p>  </li> <li data-gallery-legend="2"> <h2> <span class="counter">2/20</span>  Male contraceptive gel that 'blocks sperm' could be available in less than two years </h2>  <p>A new injectable contraceptive for men could be on the market as soon as 2018, US researchers hope. Currently, men are limited to options including condoms and a vasectomy if they want to protect their partner from pregnancy. Scientists have said that the new method will be long-lasting and reversible, without the need for men to take hormones to supress fertility. Vasagel works by blocking the duct from which sperm leaves the testes and enters the urethra: the canal where semen and urine leave the penis. The contraceptive is administered by an injection into the vas deferens</p>  <p class="credits">WestEnd61/REX/Shutterstock</p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="3"> <h2> <span class="counter">3/20</span>  Heartbreak can actually change the rhythm of your heart </h2>  <p>Losing a loved one really can break your heart, research suggests, although not for ever. People who lose a partner are at an increased risk of developing an irregular heartbeat for the next 12 months, scientists found. The risk seems to be greatest among the under 60s and when the loss of the partner was least expected</p>  <p class="credits">Getty </p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="4"> <h2> <span class="counter">4/20</span>  Gym 'used as a hook-up spot' </h2>  <p>People who hope to find love and get fit in the New Year may find it surprisingly easy to tick off both goals, as a new survey has revealed that half of adults use the gym as a hook-up venue, while a quarter admit to having sex there. Apparently not put off by the surroundings, a new survey of how Britons behave in the gym has found that 25 per cent claimed to have had sex there at least once in the past 12 months</p>  </li> <li data-gallery-legend="5"> <h2> <span class="counter">5/20</span>  Erectile dysfunction 'linked to risk of early death' </h2>  <p>Men who suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) are 70 per cent more likely to die early, a new study has found. US scientists believe that the disorder may be linked to poor cardiovascular health, and suggested that men with ED should be screened for health issues that could cut their lives short</p>  <p class="credits">Rex Features</p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="6"> <h2> <span class="counter">6/20</span>  39 per cent of workers have sex at Christmas parties </h2>  <p>The festive season may be a time for good will and sharing – but it’s also apparently the perfect excuse to hook-up with the cute person from accounts, according to a survey which has revealed that 39 per cent of people have had sex at their work Christmas party. Even more people admitted that the annual knees-up offered the chance to kiss a co-worker, with over locking lips at the event. A survey of 2,000 UK adults by high-street lingerie retailer Ann Summers revealed that IT and HR are the professions most likely to snog or have sex with a colleague or get incredibly drunk at the Christmas party, at 63 per cent and 56 per cent respectively.This was compared with 27 per cent of those in education and 29 per cent in health</p>  </li> <li data-gallery-legend="7"> <h2> <span class="counter">7/20</span>  Durex calls for a condom emoji </h2>  <p>Emojis have come a long way in recent years - since they were first integrated into Unicode in 2010, we've gained emojis of all different ethnicities, emojis for every flag in the world, and even the middle finger emoji. However, we're still missing a condom emoji. Durex wants to change that. It's easy to suggest sex with emojis (think aubergine, peach, the 'OK' sign), but there's nothing that shows safe sex. So, to coincide with World AIDS Day on 1 December, Durex is encouraging its customers to call upon the Unicode Consortium, who oversee the introduction of new emoji, to give the world a condom emoji in their next update</p>  </li> <li data-gallery-legend="8"> <h2> <span class="counter">8/20</span>  Spliting the housework equally is the secret to a better sex life </h2>  <p>Better communication, getting more exercise, oysters, more date nights, time away from the kids – these are just a few common theories for how couples can improve their sex life. But now, a new study has offered up a different one, suggesting that the key to being more satisfied between the sheets could in part be down to taking it in turns to wash them. According to the study from the University of Alberta, couples enjoyed more frequent and satisfying sex for both partners when the housework is split equally across men and women</p>  </li> <li data-gallery-legend="9"> <h2> <span class="counter">9/20</span>  Arguing with a partner is beneficial </h2>  <p>Arguing in a relationship is not often seen as having a positive impact on both partners. But a new study from US psychologists suggests that if each party feels understood, falling out does not have a detrimental impact on their satisfaction in the relationship. Researchers at the University of California said feeling understood appeared to improve a relationship on its own, regardless of any practical consequence of that understanding. And when people felt their partners understood them, the conflict was not only not harmful but actually good for the relationship</p>  </li> <li data-gallery-legend="10"> <h2> <span class="counter">10/20</span>  Ireland gay marriage </h2>  <p>Same-sex couples in the Republic of Ireland can officially get married after the country voted overwhelmingly for the change in a referendum in May. Legislation legalising gay civil marriage, passed following the vote, came into effect on 16 November 2015. The first couples to be affected will be gay couples who married legally abroad – whose unions will now automatically be recognised by the Irish state. But the race is now on to see who which couple will become the first gay newlyweds to legally marry in Eire itself</p>  </li> <li data-gallery-legend="11"> <h2> <span class="counter">11/20</span>  'Female Viagra' approved </h2>  <p>A drug dubbed the ‘female Viagra’ has finally been approved by the US Food and Drug administration but concerns have been raised over the drug’s possible side effects. Flibanserin, produced by Sprout Pharmaceuticals, was approved by the FDA on the third application in five years – after twice failing over concerns regarding possible side-effects.</p>  <p class="credits">AP</p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="12"> <h2> <span class="counter">12/20</span>  Grindr users surveyed on sexual preferences </h2>  <p>Grindr users are not that gay, at least according to a new survey. More than 300 users on the gay dating app, contacted by Pink News as part of an informal study, did not identifying as exclusively attracted to men. The study used the Kinsey scale, based on the work of sexologist Alfred Kinsey, which ranges from 0 (exclusively straight) to 6 (exclusively gay) and also allows identification as asexual (X). Pink News found that the average answer was around five, with the most frequent answer being five, followed by six and then four when they contacted users from their office in central London.</p>  <p class="credits">Rex</p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="13"> <h2> <span class="counter">13/20</span>  Watching porn does not cause negative attitudes to women </h2>  <p>The average porn user may have more egalitarian views towards women than non-users, a contentious new study has suggested. Researchers at Western University in Canada have even argued that many pornography fans might be “useful allies” in women’s struggles for equality in the workplace and in public office. They reported in the Journal of Sex Research that the 23 per cent of people who said they had watched an “X-rated” film during the previous year were no more or less likely to identify as feminists than those who did not watch porn.</p>  <p class="credits">Getty</p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="14"> <h2> <span class="counter">14/20</span>  The characteristics of men who pay for sex </h2>  <p>Men who pay for sex share similar traits to rapists and sex offenders, according to new research. A study from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), claims that men who have sex with female sex workers feel less empathy for them than men who do not buy sex. Part of this reason is due to the fact that they view them as "intrinsically different from other women,” according to the authors.</p>  <p class="credits">Getty Images</p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="15"> <h2> <span class="counter">15/20</span>  How much sex we have (and how much we'd like) </h2>  <p>As a nation, we don’t have as much sex as we would like, a survey has (somewhat unsurprisingly) confirmed. In a poll of 1523 people by YouGov, 64 per cent of Britons said they would wish to have sex at least a few times a month. The same sample said that only 38 per cent had sex at least a few times a month. In addition, 10 per cent said they wished to have sex every day, a goal which only 1 per cent admitted reaching.</p>  </li> <li data-gallery-legend="16"> <h2> <span class="counter">16/20</span>  One per cent of Britons 'have never felt sexually attracted to anyone at all' </h2>  <p>An estimated 1% of Britons have almost no interest in sexual activity, according to researchers. The identity, which describes rarely or never experiencing sexual attraction, has moved from a diagnosis of mental disorder in the past to a sexual orientation in its own right today. As public interest in “asexuality” grows, researchers at Glasgow University have found that romance and intimacy is still very much on the cards for those who take the label.</p>  <p class="credits">Rex</p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="17"> <h2> <span class="counter">17/20</span>  Women really are more attracted to men who make them laugh </h2>  <p>Researchers at an American university have claimed that humour is a key factor in human “sexual selection”, with women appearing to be more attracted to men who make them laugh. Jeffrey Hall, an associate professor of Communication Studies at the University of Kansas, found that when two strangers meet, the more times a man tries to be funny and a woman laughs, the more likely she is to be interested in dating. The reverse was not true for women who attempted humour, according to his study “Sexual Selection and Humour in Courtship: A Case for Warmth and Extroversion,” which has been published in the Evolutionary Psychology journal.</p>  <p class="credits">Getty</p> </li> <li data-gallery-legend="18"> <h2> <span class="counter">18/20</span>  What makes a perfect penis? </h2>  <p>Scientists have now answered one of these great unknowns. According to a new study, “general cosmetic appearance” is the most important penile aspect when it comes to what women value down there. This is swiftly followed by the appearance of pubic hair, penile skin, and girth. Length comes in at number six, with the look of the scrotum trailing closely behind. The least important facet of the phallus, say the scientists, is the “position and shape of meatus”, the vertical slit at the opening of the urethra.</p>  </li> <li data-gallery-legend="19"> <h2> <span class="counter">19/20</span>  Students who marry after studying the same subject </h2>  <p>Picking a university subject is already difficult enough for young people. But here’s an extra piece of data to weigh on your decision: you may be picking a life partner as well. Dan Kopf of the blog, Priceonomics, analysed US Census data and found that the percentage of Americans who marry someone within their own major is actually fairly high. About half of Americans are married, according to the 2012 American Community Survey (part of the Census). And about 28 per cent of married couples over the age of 22 both graduated from college. (The survey didn’t recognise same-sex marriages for the 2012 data, but it will for 2013 onwards, says Kopf)</p>  </li> <li data-gallery-legend="20"> <h2> <span class="counter">20/20</span>  Half of divorcees had doubts on their wedding day </h2>  <p>Over half of divorcees considered abandoning their husband or wife-to-be at the altar on their wedding day, a new study has revealed. On top of likely worrying about wedding favours and making sure guests behave on their big day, 49 per cent of divorcees admitted they were unsure before the ceremony that their marriage would last. Some 15 per cent of divorcees polled said they were so wracked with doubt that they felt physically sick in the run up to their wedding.</p>  <p class="credits">Getty Images</p> </li> </ul><div class="ad-mpu mpu5-container"> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div> <p>At the very least, people wanted the woman to be caught: “I hope you suffer the consequences including losing your jobs,” said one.</p> <p>The woman was called “disgusting”, “vile”, “gross”, “rank” and “f*cking grim”. </p> <p>Many people gave her a sharp dressing down: “You clearly have no sense of boundaries and lack maturity,” wrote one person. </p> <p>Another was concerned about the youths that could possibly catch the couple, saying: “It doesn't make it ok for you to w*nk off just because the CHILD is 15.”</p> <p>As well as telling the woman to stop, many people revealed they’d reported her. “Don't make other people play a part in your sex life unless they are aware of it,” implored one person.</p> <p>The majority of people who read the woman’s story were disgusted, ordering her to “have some self control”.</p> <p>However a few people seemed concerned at the same time and offered advice: “I suggest you and your husband have some sex therapy, if you can only get off in public places, something’s not right,” wrote one person.</p> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2016-11-18T15:13:54+00:00"/> <ul
