  • 7 wonder foods for wonder sex

    If you’re looking to boost your  game in the bedroom you might want to take a look at the food you’re eating.  Some foods have amazing wellness properties for men that can really boost your drive.

    BIGSTOCK

    Millions of men suffer from low libido and impotency in the UK, but there are natural ways you can aid your drive. Firstly you should always consult your doctor if you feel you have a serious underlying issue, but here’s some foods which are great to get you fired up.

    Our food editor, Jordan Lohan explains, “simple things like salsa, salad, smoothies and even chocolate truffles can be tailored using readily available ingredients to relieve various sexual concerns”. Check out his FEED YOUR PENIS recipes here.

    – Figs: These small fruits pack some big benefits. They are bursting with calcium, iron, potassium, and more of that stimulating zinc. They are also packed with fibre, which boosts heart health and satisfies hunger without adding to your waistline.

    – Strawberries: Don’t forget to bring this mouth-watering dessert on your next picnic. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin B, which has been linked to high sperm counts in men. Go one step further and coat them in chocolate, as it is full of libido-boosting methylxanthines! (Why do you think it’s such a popular Valentine’s Day gift?!)

    -Almonds: These healthy nuts are said to act as a sexual stimulant and a fertility aid, so if you’re trying for a baby, start snacking! They are rich in nutrients and in several minerals that are important for sexual health and reproduction, including zinc, selenium, and vitamin E. Zinc can also help enhance sexual desire – added bonus!

    -Avocados: The name for this South American fruit derives from the Aztec language Nahuatl, in which it meant ‘testicle’ – a name chosen for the fruit’s unusual shape. It may seem like a bit of a stretch to us, but avocadoes do have some sexy benefits! They are rich in unsaturated fats, making them very heart-healthy. And a healthy heart keeps the blood flowing to all the right places! Men with underlying heart disease are twice as likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction, so feel free to add some extra avocado slices to your salads.

    -Eggs: Poached, scrambled or fried, eggs are sure to rev you up after a long day at work. They are full of protein, which keeps you going without packing on the calories. They’re also an excellent source of amino acids, which combat certain types of heart ailments as well as erectile dysfunction. There’s a reason Dean Martin likes his eggs with a kiss in the morning…
    – Feta & Spinach: Feta and spinach both increase testosterone levels.

    – Chilli Capsaicin: This spicy chilli promotes circulation and endorphins for the feel good factor. It’s getting hot in here.

  • Uber is rating you

    Yikes. Uber is rating you… and judging you.

    And guess what you could now be barred from using the Uber service if you break one of their community guidelines. The guidelines say US only at this point. So you could find your Uber account blocked if you break one of the rules.

    So you could find your Uber account blocked if you break one of the rules.

    So what are Uber’s rules?

    No fighting,

    No flirting

    No swearing

    No personal questions

    No sex – with a driver or another passenger,

    No discrimination

    No stalking

    No being sick

    No breaking the law

    No guns

     

    And while we agree with many of those – we’re wondering how Uber is going to deal with its own drivers when they break the law (using mobile phones whilst driving – don’t think we don’t see you!) or discriminating against someone because of their sexuality.

    Just saying.

    In other news you know when you rate your Uber journey, you get rated back by your driver! You can actually find out what your Uber star rating is.

    Saara Aalto is the best female vocalist the X Factor has had in a long time and it seems as though she’s already had a Christmas hit album called Angels which she released in 2011.

    The album features Christmas hits such as “Walking In The Air” and this amazing version of “O Holy Night”.

    The singer who had a rocky start in her time with the juggernaut show said that she feared an anti-gay backlash and felt forced to live a lie after getting engaged to her girlfriend in the summer. She revealed that she and her girlfriend, Meri were the first gay female couple to come out in Finland.

    Yesterday it was revealed an ambitious/rich punter has bet a whopping £30,500 that Saara Aalto will win this year’s X Factor competition. Should she actually pull it off the punter will be in for an amazing £62,650 windfall.

  • Naked man on top of bus stops traffic

    Naked man on top of bus stops traffic

    A naked man atop a metro bus in Hollywood has stopped traffic with his naked antics and the internet is loving it.

    According to news sources on the ground, a naked man was strutting and posing on top of a bus in West Hollywood during Thursday afternoon on one of the world’s most famous road, Sunset Boulevard.

    Eye-witnesses saw him sunbathing, posing, strutting the length of the bus before cops were able to handcuff him and take him into custody.

    Officers were unable to make the man climb down a ladder so they buckled him to a stretcher to carry him off the bus.

     

    Naturally, the Internet had a field day and the naked man even became a “moment” on Twitter, with some even believing that the whole stunt was part of an advertising campaign for Amazon’s The man In The High Castle. Others feared for the man’s mental health.
