| Naomi Campbell to launch gyms? Posted: A report has emerged that the British supermodel is set to launch her own chain of fitness centres. ACCORDING to British tabloid the Daily Star, 43-year-old star Naomi Campbell is reportedly hunting for locations for a new collection of gyms in London. The model is said to be working with her personal trainer, David Kirsch, who's already something of a fitness mogul, with his own health clubs and supplement lines. Interestingly the new gyms are rumoured to be specifically targeted at elite fitness fanatics and professional sportsmen and women, meaning that budding members will have to pass tests before they're allowed to join. Campbell became one of the world's biggest names with her work in the fashion industry during the late 1980s and early 90s and has recently seen a new surge in her career as one of the mentors (as well as producer) on TV modelling show The Face. If the report proves true, Campbell will join Madonna among the ranks of gym-owning celebrities. Madonna's Hard Candy Fitness centres are now in Mexico City, Sydney, St Petersburg, Moscow, Santiago, Rome, Toronto and Berlin. – AFP Relaxnews |
| Are you suffering from 'penis shame'? Posted: A new British study finds that when it comes to worrying about penis size, it's usually all in a man's head. FOR men who worry about their penis size, a new study reveals that all of that anxiety doesn't actually correlate to whether or not you're large or small. Researchers from King's College in London have found that while some well-endowed men have "penis shame", lots of men with smaller-than-average penises feel completely confident. "It's an emotional feeling," study leader and psychiatrist David Veale told LiveScience. The findings were published online last week in the Journal Of Sexual Medicine. To reach their findings, researchers recruited 173 men online and at the university to answer a battery of questions about body image, erectile function, and other concerns about their sexual parts, LiveScience reports. In addition, 46 men agreed to having their penises measured in both flaccid and erect states. Results showed that 30% of the subjects reported dissatisfaction with their genitals, with only 35% saying that they were very happy with their penis size. Older men and gay and bisexual men reported higher levels of anxiety regarding their penis size, the findings showed. LiveScience added that "big or small didn't matter as much as the fears men carried in their heads". Veale said: "Quite a few of them have been teased about their size either by an ex-partner or in the showers as an adolescent." A study published in April in the journal Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences found that women preferred larger penises – with a special preference for tall men who were well-endowed. Research published in the Journal Of Sexual Medicine revealed that the average American man's penis is 14.2cm-long when erect. – AFP Relaxnews |
