“Don’t have sex on a first date or he won’t respect you.” If you weren’t given the above advice while struggling to navigate life as a person who dates, you at least know somebody who was. Most of the time it’s harmless enough – the person giving it assumes that they’re just doing what’s best […]

Lol. Love does scary things to people. It makes them think they’re happy, it makes them act in stupid ways, and it even makes them getting matching Disney tattoos one of which looks like a condom. Yeah, we know, unfortunate. The Beauty and the Beast ‘inspired’ tattoos were spotted on Reddit and although the idea […]

We’ve all seen the Black Mirror episode.

Topical. Emmerdale is not the first soap to run an abortion storyline and it certainly won’t be the last.

Emotionally abusive relationships are often characterised by control.
