It’s a universal truth: No matter what time of day it is or how jet-lagged you are from your flight, as soon as you enter that hotel room with your significant other, all you want to do is bang. Unpacking can wait as you momentarily forget how gross those sheets...
A public display of affection — more commonly referred to as PDA — is a bit like the smell of a fart: If it’s your own, it’s inexplicably pleasant. If it’s someone else’s, it stinks of crap. In 2016, researchers looked into why people are so repulsed...
There’s nothing more awkward than speaking to someone who can’t look you in the eye, and there’s nothing creepier than someone who seemingly can’t stop. Solving the problem of finding the perfect amount of eye contact is complicated by the fact that it really depends on the...
I recently saw a product that promised to eliminate any odour from any body part for three whole days. While that seems magical if we’re talking about, say, butt sweat in the summer, it doesn’t seem so great if we’re talking about overall body smells. Listen, guys,...
For the first time in my 33 years, I’m visiting the gym on a regular basis. I’m not totally sure why I’m doing it — probably because I have a child now and I’d like to be able to not have to lie down after five minutes...
Trying to find the perfect workout partner — one who keeps you motivated, even when you can barely bench 100 pounds — can feel a lot like looking for a beefy needle in a sweat-drenched haystack. And like any relationship, even when you think you found the...
Winter is upon us, and that means one thing: an influx of socialising opportunities that you can screw up by taking someone you’re dating, and then proceeding to ditch them for three hours while you talk it up with all your pals, get hammered, and ignore them....
For heavy sweaters, life stinks. Constantly worried that they smell bad, are offending others with their moisture or even sabotaging their own job interviews, being relentlessly sweaty is a tough way to live. We talked to three guys (yes, American sweat, too) who suffer from what’s known as hyperhidrosis to see...
You likely spent Valentine’s Day doing one of two things: Spending the evening with someone you love, or staring into the deep abyss of potential matches flashing across your phone. Because, after all, this is the modern world, and serendipity is a lot like dial-up internet: It...
Getting Ton’ed Up Serotonin—otherwise known as 5-hydroxytryptamine—is known as “the happy chemical”. It’s made in the brain and is an important neurotransmitter (although some consider it a hormone) that relays signals between nerve cells, regulating their intensity. The happier you are—think ace Christmas present from favourite relative...
For some, having sweaty hands is a minor inconvenience. For others, having sweaty hands is a life sentence — one that involves constant humiliation, isolation and condemnation. Case in point: On this subreddit devoted to those suffering from excessive sweating, discussions about suicide and depression stemming from the condition are just as...
Working from home — with no obligation to appear in the presence of other people besides my fiancée — has thrown my grooming habits into disarray. I no longer get haircuts or shave on the regular. Most days, I just look in the mirror and think, Oof, you need...
