Teenage girls are coming under increasing pressure to text and email sexually explicit pictures of themselves, a new report has suggested. The report, commissioned by the NSPCC, suggests the demands come from peers rather than from adults or strangers. So-called sexting, the sending or receiving of sexual images by text or email, is thought to affect more than a third of under-18s. The report concluded that more needs to be done to address the issue. Entitled A Qualitative Study of Children and Young People, the study was conducted by researchers at King's College, London; the Institute of

If you happen to be one of those who believes buying an annoyed wife a nice set of innerwears is one of the surest ways to lift her mood, what if you could gift her a set of diamond-studded undies. Marks & Spencer, one of Britain's leading retailers, has introduced a special Diamond Jubilee undies collection. The lingerie line was inspired by the 1950s -- the decade when Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne, The Sun reported. The collection features a "stunning regal purple" bra and knicker set alongside a conical bra and retro teddy to emulate the glamour of the '50s, according to t

Aren't fights supposed to be normal in a relationship? Many couples don't think so today... In a recent interview, actor John Abraham commented that he is happy with his current girlfriend Priya Runchal because they do not fight and only sometimes argue. Does that mean that a relationship atleast in the courtship period should not have disagreements or fights and if there are such fights in the relationship, is it headed for disaster? And apparently if you ask people around, most of the them seem to agree! Vijay Cherupally, an engineer says, "The courtship period is generally smooth sailing s

While perfume houses spent millions on developing new scents and attracting celebrity endorsements, researchers claim body odour could be the most seductive way to attract someone. Several different studies point to the same conclusion that BO is (sometimes) best. "One team found women tend to prefer the smell of dominant men and are particularly attracted to the smell of dominance during the most fertile stage of their menstrual cycle," the Daily quoted Craig Roberts of the University of Stirling, UK, and Jan Havlicek of Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, as saying in a research

Sexy text messages or phone calls can get young people in the mood for sex while dinner and wine are real turn-ons for the elderly, a new survey has revealed. In the survey by Fitness magazine and Yahoo! Shine, some 22 per cent of men and women between the ages of 18 and 34 admitted their biggest turn-on is a naughty message or call. But only 12 percent of men and women ages 35 to 64 agree to this. Among that crowd, about 25 per cent said dinner and wine makes for the perfect aphrodisiac, the New York Daily News reported. Only a small fraction of men and women of all ages - about 5 per cen

Typing the perfect text to a woman they want to woo, can be a puzzling and infuriating task for men, according to a new survey. In a recent survey conducted by TSB Magazine, a majority of participants agreed that writing a message containing 'just-the-thing' was more of an issue than approaching a woman in the first place, the Daily Mail reported. TSB Magazine, a website that provides sex and dating advice for men, presented readers a list of traditionally confusing aspects of dating. Out of all the 'most obvious' potential pitfalls, when to text and what to write took the top slot as the m

Marriage is often seen as fix-all - dreamy singles think it will make them happy, restless men and women think it will make them feel complete. We take apart the five most popular cons that mar marriage. I won't be lonely Being lonely or having company has nothing to do with getting married. Many loners remain so even after marriage.

Men talk and think a lot about sex while women desire it more often. We explore the reasons... 'Men think, while women desire.' Gone are the days when 'demanding sex' was considered exclusively a man's forte. Today women demand sex greater than men. And they have no qualms about getting vocal about it. "I read these funny E-mail forwards that stress on men begging for sex and women denying it. It sounds so funny to me. It's totally the opposite in my case. While men can have a good laugh over it believing that this notion exists, I literally have to seduce my husband to get him hooked on to

Women are now getting investment smart Finance is no longer a word that makes her go nervous. Numbers are no longer alien to her. It's a different story for many working women in India. The new age woman not only earns her bread but now understands ways to put her money to good use. Across the table, she now discusses terms and conditions of investing in a mutual fund or buying an insurance policy. Keeping her interests in mind. Today, women are looked at as potential investors. They are being lured by banks, insurance firms and the like for investment purpose. Says Priya Nair, a young prof
