Rihanna and Lady Gaga Encourage Youngsters To Having Sex

Female artists who sing sexually suggestive songs, encourage their young listeners unconsciously to having sex. That's what British psychologists claim.

When known female artists sing about the joys of sex and portray the woman as the strong person in a relationship it will create a bad image for young children. "They think that sex is something powerful and not think about the consequences. But artists sing almost never about the many dangers of sex. Furthermore, it is often not the case that these young girls are effectively in control of the sexual intercourse, which means they can be forced by the other," said psychologist Jane McCartney.

According to psychologist Linda Papadopoulos you shouldn't even be fans of these singers to be affected. "The messages urge unconscious in our brains and make an influence anyway."

"Children are a forgotten group in the study of stress, while the problem is rather common amongst them," said Swinnen. "Like adults, with children stress manifests itself in different degrees. The lighter form comes and disappears again. These are reactions to a sudden change."

"In other cases it is a matter of prolonged stress. In the worst case it leads to behavioral changes and staying away from school. But often there's no adequate assistance because the stress problem is not recognized as such."

The research shows that girls are more sensitive to stress than boys. There is also a relationship between stress level and the family situation in which children grow up. "Children from single parent families have more stress to deal with," said Swinnen.

Sport

Make sure you don't head immediately for the treadmill or other fitness equipment at home but keep looking for functional training. These exercises are based on acts that you do every day.

Take it easy with the diet

During your diet don't choose for the crash version. Such a diet only makes you tired and it is also very damaging to the quality of your breast. So take a look in advance how many calories you daily burn. Do you have mostly a sedentary job? Then your calorie consumption must lie around 1800 calories daily. In order not to get the yo-yo effect, you best don't go too much below this number.

These substances help to reduce the chances of a heart attack or stroke significantly.

Fur From Rats The New Trend?

More and more designers refuse the use the old fur. Besides the familiar faux, fur from rats seem increasingly popular.

The coypu was already very popular in the mid 70s, but gave way to the fur of minks. Thus, the population of coypus is getting bigger which in turn led to a destruction of the surrounding vegetation. In 2010 this might change, however, thanks to the resurgence of the possum's skin. Designers such as Billy Reid and Oscar de la Renta go fully for the skins of possums.

Animal rights activists call to ensure this trend quickly disappears. According to them, no animals are to be skinned for a coat, even though there is an overpopulation of the species concerned.

What Do Mustaches Reveal?

Mustaches are fashionable again. Womanizers like George Clooney and Brad Pitt wear their copy with due pride. But what does the shape of a mustache really say about the man wearing it?


Thin mustache

Men with a measured, taut and thin mustache are rather preoccupied with their appearance. They try to create a character, though not really fitting with who they really are. This type of man is often insidious about a situation and tries to play it so that they directly lead to his advantage.

Casual mustache

Weirdy or Excentric

According to a psychological examination women can be effectively blinded by jealousy.

During the research test couples had to sit opposite to each other. The women had to point out landscape pictures amongst other pictures.

How To Dress Fashionable After 40: like Carla Bruni Sarkozy?

Many women have difficulty in accepting they're 40. They ask themselves questions when they look at their cloths in the wardrobe and throw away more often than necessary. We will put some tips forward to quickly and easily help you through this fashion crisis.

Wardrobe

Your wardrobe should not just suddenly consist only of beige, gray and black colors, simply because you're at the age of forty years. Minor adjustments can keep you fashionable without looking clownish.

Heels

Giant stilettos you better throw out when you're passing 40. On the other hand choose for other, hip shoes. A wedge heel is very trendy and does wonders for thicker lower legs. You want to keep your heel? Then choose a heel averaging 2.8 inches (7 cm). Kitten heels (0.4 inch or 1 cm) are currently very hot thanks to the French President's wife and ex-model Carla Bruni Sarkozy, but know that the wrong kitten heels can make you look old and seem worn out.

Length

Ultra-short skirts and shorts or may be very hip, they're not made for your weaker becoming skin. Even a thirty-something year old woman can go totally wrong with a too short outfit. Choose a cool short that ends just above your knees. When you combine this with a nice pantyhose you'll get a classy result. You find your knees just a little bit to old? Go for a skirt that ends just below the knee.

Colors

You can combine colors but always make sure that the colors match the different cloths. If you choose too diverse colors, your look will go completely wrong.

Leather jackets

A leather jacket is timeless, but you need the right model. Motorcycle jackets or leather jackets adorned with metal zippers you better leave out. Choose a brown or camel colored fitted jacket with buttons.

Mid-life Crisis Starts At 25

Men buy a shiny Harley, let their hair grow and look for a younger woman. Also women experience a midlife crisis, but a lot earlier than men.

Women grow up faster than men. That is an opinion many women share. This supposition has some truth in it according to analyst James Hollis. Apparently around twenty five already they start plunging in a midlife crisis. "When women realize that the world is not fair, that their dreams will never come true and that they have to face a life that won't be easy, something changes in their personality. They are depressed or start being dissolute: the midlife crisis has begun" says Hollis.

How to recognize a female midlife crisis?

Many women feel at some point in their early life aimlessly. They do not know where they want to go on with their lives, feel unhappy in their current job, get anxiety attacks and start to drink and shop. Some become depressed, others become very active and unfaithful. "Midlife crisis is different for every woman. But every woman will recognize it because they are going to feel completely different. They start thinking on everything deeper and longer and realize that their lives will never be the same again," said Hollis.

One-night-stand Rather Than Dates

Romance seems far away for American students. A survey of 150 female and 71 male university students shows that twice as many youngster have one night stands than dates.

Women want to learn to know their first sexual partner via a date, but men are afraid to become depending in that way. Therefore the vast majority of men choose to woo a woman and rather convince her to have sex with him immediately.

The study also showed that it is almost always the man who takes the initiative for a one night stand.
Women are more like wait-and-see.
