  • Big Brother’s Chris ‘can’t think of himself as straight’

    Actor Chris, opens up about the idea of sexuality in conversations with Jale, Ash Christopher and Marlon.

    Chris talks to Ash, Marlon, Christopher and Jale about his sexual preferences. He says: ‘I don’t like the term straight, we‘re all kind of melding now.’ He observes that people between 18-25 aren’t as bothered by sexual labels.

    Chris, 33, originally wanted to enter the house for ‘free rent, to lose weight and I can’t afford therapy’ – seems to be be wanting to get something off his chest.

    He admits, after questioning from the group, that he has never seen, kissed or slept with a man but can’t go around thinking he’s straight.

    He later tells Jale, he feels a bit funny about saying that on camera, as he has never admitted it to the majority of his friends of his family, he then reflects that: ‘You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.’

  • Tom Daley: Splash Unlikely To Return For Third Series

    Fans of Tom Daley, will, undoubtedly be gutted that Splash! will probably not be returning for a 3rd series.

    Due to the diver’s work load and his concentration on the 2016 Rio Olympic games, Tom Daley‘s Splash! is unlikely to return to screens in the near future.

    According to a spokeperson in Broadcast, ‘no decision has been made’ on whether there will be a new series.

    The 2nd series, which led to pictures like this, this and this – drew in respectable 3.8million viewers, but a far cry from the reported 5.4million for the first series.

  • Are you more sexually adventurous than your partner?

    Research conducted by an online pharmacy has revealed that 67% of Britons believe that they are more ‘sexually adventurous’ than their partner, with a quarter of these stating that they are ‘frustrated’ by the mismatch in their sexual preferences with their partner.

    A new study by an online pharmacy in the UK, which specialises in sexual health, has revealed that a quarter of Britons are left ‘frustrated’ by their partner’s sex drive. It was unveiled that more than two thirds (67%) of people in relationships believe that they are more ‘sexually adventurous’ than their other half.

    The study was conducted by www.UKMedix.com, an online pharmacy in the UK which specialises in sexual health, in order to investigate Britons’ sexual habits and attitudes. 2,013 UK citizens took part in the online survey, all of whom were aged 18 and over and in a co-habiting relationship of six months or longer.

    Respondents were first asked ‘Do you believe that you are more sexually adventurous than your partner?’ with the term explained as ‘open-minded and willing to try new things’. More than two thirds (67%) of respondents stated that they felt they were more adventurous in the bedroom than their other half.

    These respondents were asked to share their exploits, in terms of the things they had tried in the past. The top five most popular antics of sexually ‘adventurous’ Britons were as follows:

    Role play – 72%
    Sex outdoors – 61%
    Sex in public places (e.g. toilets, lifts etc) – 37%
    Sex with a stranger – 28%
    Threesomes – 26%

    Less than half of the respondents (47%) stated that they had embarked upon these experiences with their current partner. Instead, the most common accomplice was ‘an ex-partner’ (64%), followed by ‘a friend with benefits’ (28%).

    When asked if they ever felt ‘frustrated’ with their current partner’s sexual preferences, a quarter (23%) confirmed that they did. The top three issues amongst frustrated Britons in relationships were voted as ‘my partner is not adventurous enough’ (73%), ‘my partner doesn’t want to have sex as often as I do’ (63%) and ‘my partner wants to have sex too often’ (31%). One in ten respondents, 11%, confessed that they were no longer sexually attracted to their partner.

    Sarah Bailey of UKMedix.com commented on the findings, ‘Who knew that us Brits were so adventurous in the bedroom!? It even appears that we can get a little demanding with our need for adventure! There are bound to be differences between partners in any relationship and sex is a really subjective thing. Everyone has different tastes and no two people are the same. If you are really struggling with a mismatched sex drive, then the first and most important thing to do is talk to your other half.’

  • EastEnders Spoiler: Is Johnny Carter getting a first boyfriend?

    Is Johnny Carter about to get a boyfriend? An insider says very possibly after gay pride episode.

    A Walford insider said, ‘It soon becomes clear that Johnny (played by Sam Strike) met someone at gay pride and they really hit it off. He’s got a love bite on his neck and a phone that won’t stop buzzing with text messages – it seems some is smitten!’

    However it seems he is trying desperately to cover his tracks from his mum Linda, who has yet to fully come to terms with Johnny’s sexuality.

    Johnny Carter came out at the end of last year, which resulted in one of the most talked about gay moments of TV when he told his father Mick Carter (Danny Dyer)

    Last month our roving photographer caught a sneak peak of Sam Strike filming in Soho. See the exclusive pictures here.

  • Gay couple attacked in London; one left unconscious by TEEN gang

    A gay couple in London were beaten by a number of teenagers in London, leaving one unconscious.

    According to the London Evening Standard, Walter Adrian, 23, and his partner, who has asked not to be named were approached by seven Bangladeshi teenagers who then assaulted the couple and called them anti-gay slurs, including ‘f*cking faggots’.

    The attack happened on Whitechapel Road, after leaving a friend’s party, on the 13th June, just before midnight.

    ‘We weren’t even holding hands or kissing or anything, but all the comments were based on us being gay.

    ‘One of them said “f**king faggots” so we wanted to try and leave and my partner pushed one of them but then they got physical.

    ‘They punched him and then there were six or seven of them just going at us while we were cornered against the wall.

    ‘They were saying, ‘this is our street, this is our area, get out of here’, just because they thought we were gay. It happens a lot round this area and East London.

    ‘We weren’t even acting gay and that’s what’s upsetting. Whether anyone is gay or not you just can’t feel safe. You’re scared of being attacked and afraid to go out by yourself.’

    Adrian was left unconscious, he has bruises to his head and stomach, while his partner had a swollen jaw.

    The attackers were described as 15-to-18 year old Bangladeshis who were wearing dark sports clothing.

    A Scotland Yard spokesman said: ‘We were called at 1.40am on June 13 to reports of an assault in Whitechapel Road. Investigations continue.’

    Last year anti-gay incidents were recorded in East London, where a number of men were arrested after harassing a ‘gay looking’ man.

  • House prices have risen 31 PER CENT in London

    New research from comparison site Gocompare.com has highlighted the disproportionate growth in the London housing market when compared to the rest of the UK since the last general election in May 2010.

    Under the Conservative-led coalition, average house prices in the capital have risen by a staggering £103,323, on average, from £331,711 in 2010, to £435,034 this year. This means purchasing a property in London four years ago is the equivalent of having a second income of £25,830.

    However, the figures show that the story isn’t the same across the entire country, as only five of the nine regions of England and Wales enjoyed any rise whatsoever over the four year period. The house price data also shows that the North/South divide is alive and well, as the North West, North East, Wales and Yorks & Humber regions all experienced a drop in house prices.

    Though London house prices have risen by a staggering 31.15%, excluding the capital the rest of England and Wales only saw a rise of 0.16%, or £217.38, on average. Of the other regions, the South East experienced the most growth with a 7.8% (£16,384) rise in property values, which is still nearly four times lower than the boom enjoyed in London.

    Conversely, the North East suffered the biggest drop in house prices as values fell by 8% from £107,717 in 2010 to £99,001 in 2014, an average slump of £8,716.

    Matt Sanders mortgage spokesperson at Gocompare.com commented, ‘It’s no secret that London is a particularly expensive place to live, however the difference between house price rises in the capital when compared with the rest of England and Wales really does lend weight to the phrase ‘London prices’.

    ‘These figures will do little to comfort Londoners looking to get on the property ladder. However, those in other areas of the country should be reassured that despite talk of rising house prices across the UK, outside of the capital, there hasn’t been a big change in the affordability of property. And even with the recent tightening of mortgage lending rules, with low interest rates and competitive mortgage deals available it’s still very much a buyer’s market.

    ‘With the European elections behind us and British political parties now focusing on next year’s general election, balancing the housing market and preventing a London bubble, must surely be a key issue.’

    For people overwhelmed by mortgages, Gocompare.com has a collection of mortgage guides available on their website, including guides for first time buyers and information regarding the government’s Help to Buy scheme.

  • 5 Amazing Foods For Better Sex

    Adding food to the bedroom is a classic way to spice things up with a partner. But did you know that food can heighten libido and improve your performance between the sheets? We-Vibe has collated the best foodie tricks and tips for you to put to the (taste) test!

    – 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 avocados 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…

  • Pedal For Pride Launches In Aid Of Stonewall And The Albert Kennedy Trust

    Charity challenge tour operator Global Adventure Challenges has launched the first ever Pedal For Pride, a tough 400 km cycle challenge across the state of California, which sets off in the majestic Yosemite national park, takes in spectacular lakes and mountain scenery and ends with a breathtaking finish over the Golden Gate Bridge in time for the 45th Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) Pride celebrations in San Francisco (27 & 28 June 2015).

    Participants will be motivated to do the challenge by raising money for their favourite charities. For ‘Pedal for Pride,’ Global Adventure Challenges has partnered with some of the UK’s leading LGBT charities including – Stonewall and the The Albert Kennedy Trust – but cyclists can raise funds for any other charity from cancer research to animal welfare.

    Peter Robinson, Director of Events and co-founder of Global Adventure Challenges said: ‘This is the first cycle challenge of its kind and there will be an incredible atmosphere throughout the whole of the challenge as each kilometre you ride will take you nearer to San Fran’s biggest party of the year. The days’ cycling will be long and tough, but well worth it to feel that incredible sense of achievement as you ride over the Golden Gate Bridge and then spend the whole weekend enjoying the celebrations as a reward for your hard work.’

    The challenge kicks off in the monumental Yosemite National Park with its massive peaks and towering forests and then rides around Turlock and Camanche Lakes on mountain roads. It then cuts a course along the Pacific Coast Road, high above the surf and takes in golden beaches and laid-back towns.

    To sign up, registration costs £399 plus £1800 for the self-funding option or a minimum sponsorship of £3600.
