Bride fuming as mother-in-law shows ‘wedding dress’ she wants to wear on son’s big day

A bride-to-be has shared her frustration after her mother-in-law decided she was going to get a dress the same colour as hers for the wedding. There are two things you don't do at a wedding - crash it or attempt to upstage the bride by wearing white. But clearly, one woman didn't get the message as a bride-to-be has taken to Reddit to vent her fury over the dress her mother-in-law wants to wear to the wedding. The unnamed bride has said she's wearing a dress that combines shades of ivory, blush and white to get married in and as such, she sent her mother-in-law these colours to avoid wearing on the big day - and a few suggestions for colours that would compliment her complexion instead. However, it seems the other woman didn't take kindly to this and ha...

Masturbating: Addicted man pleads for help

A 25-year-old man, who claims to have been masturbating for 11 years now, wants to quit the act. The young man, who made a passionate appeal on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem Tuesday, said while in Senior High School he sought help from a friend he believed could help him stop the act but was wrong as his friend rather convinced him to become his gay partner. “I was in school one time and confided in a friend that I masturbate and wanted to stop. But to my surprise my friend told me to become his gay partner so we could have anal sex,” he said. “He insisted and just as I was about to accept his proposal, another friend advised me not to engage in the act with him,” he added. Although not accepting to be his friend’s gay partner, he could not stop masturbating....

This Is Exactly Why You Get Turned on When You Workout

If you've ever felt yourself get "in the mood" while exercising, it's nothing to be ashamed of—because it's likely due to biology more than it is your ego about how good you look while doing arm curls in front of a mirror. "Workout, especially lower-body ones, cause the body to secrete hormones like testosterone," personal trainer Nick Liguori told Well+Good recently. "This increases the blood flow to your reproductive organs, which ignites your libido." However, a rush of testosterone is more of a factor of increased arousal during exercise in men than it is in women. Though that doesn't mean women aren't also getting turned on when they break a sweat, it's just more likely caused by something else. A 2008 study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, f...

Wearing shoes without socks Wearing shoes without socks to bare the ankles does have a downside. "On average your feet will sweat half a pint a day; that's a lot to be pouring out straight into your shoe without it being absorbed by a sock," said Emma Stevenson from the College of Podiatry, England. Apart from smelly feet, people are also prone to developing blisters and fungal infections. So rather than going sockless, consider investing in a few pairs of invisible socks. Stevenson also recommende...

8 signs it’s time to end a relationship

Breakups are notoriously difficult, with researchers saying they can be comparable to overcoming an addiction or mourning a death, but knowing when to pull the plug can be a whole challenge in and of itself.

Why do some people never gain weight?

It's one of life's great injustices: Some people must carefully pay attention to everything they put in their mouths in order to maintain their weight, while others can eat doughnuts to their heart's content and achieve the same result. So what's the secret? How do some people manage to never gain weight? There isn't one simple answer to this question, said Kathleen Melanson, a professor of nutrition and food sciences at the University of Rhode Island. "There's genetic, nutritional, and even behavioral factors involved," Melanson told Live Science, "and the extent to which each of those factors come into play in any given individual is going to vary." One of the most important factors has nothing to do with body type, metabolism, or performing a spell during the full moon: It's perc...
