People are coming out as “Demisexual” – here’s what it means

It can difficult, if not impossible to keep up with the glossary of changing words relating to sex and sexuality. “Graysexual“, “Abrosexual“, and “Almondsexual” are just three examples of terms we’ve written about here at Newsner, terms that we didn’t have much of a clue about before we decided to dig deeper. Call it a sign of the times, perhaps, but it seems like there are new ways, new labels for one to define their experiences of attraction being created all the time. Now, let me stress that I don’t have anything specifically against this. I’m not some grumpy curmudgeon resisting change and vehemently complaining because things aren’t exactly the way they used to be. That said, it can all get a bit confusing. At the moment it seems like there are so many ways for people to identify, such a large spectrum of words with which to describe one’s sexuality and attraction, that it’s impossible to keep track. Which is why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to clarify matters wherever poss...

9 Things That Happen To Your Body When You Don’t Have Sex For A While

If you're going through a period of sexual abstinence, then beware. Your vagina is going to grow cobwebs, tumbleweeds will roll across your pelvic floor, and nobody will be able to get into your intimate bits again without a crowbar and a sacrificial goat. Oh wait, except none of that is true. There are some physical consequences of going a while without sex, but most of them are results of not getting the health benefits that sex can offer. It sucks, I know, but you are not going to freeze up, grow a new hymen, become incapable of ever going near another person's sexual organs again, or drop dead unexpectedly of sexual frustration. Lifelong celibacy is a different prospect than experiencing sex and then stopping it. (Yes, scientists do study celibate people: The Nun Study, which looks at the health of a 600-strong group of American nuns, has been ongoing since 1986.) If you've had sex before and now you aren't, the impacts go beyond a constant urge to do deeds with a...

On Mother’s Day, a Little Girl Knocked on My Door Holding My Son’s Backpack – She Said, ‘You Were Looking for This, Didn’t You? You Need to Know the Truth’

One week before Mother’s Day, Haley lost her eight-year-old son, Randy, after he suddenly collapsed at school. Everyone around her repeated the same painful sentence afterward: “There was nothing anyone could have done.” Doctors said it. Teachers said it. Police said it. Haley tried desperately to believe them because the alternative was unbearable But one detail refused to leave her alone. Randy’s bright red Spider-Man backpack disappeared the same day he died. No one could explain where it went. His teacher, Ms. Bell, claimed she had never seen it after the emergency. The principal insisted staff searched everywhere. Even the responding officer looked uncomfortable whenever Haley brought it up. “Things get misplaced during emergencies,” he told her gently. But Haley knew her son. That backpack carried everything important to him. He never let it out of sight. And somehow, after losing Randy, losing that backpack felt like losing the final piece of him too. Then Mother’s Day arr...

Sylvester Stallone’s 1st wife pleaded with son weeks before his death

There’s simply nothing worse in life than losing a child, and this no matter what the child’s age – whether not yet born or a grown adult. Sylvester Stallone can attest to this first hand – it’s no secret that the legendary Hollywood actor tragically lost his first-born, Sage Stallone, in 2012. What’s perhaps less well known is the fact that Stallone’s ex-wife and Sage’s mom, Sasha Czack, had insisted that Sage avoid undergoing a major dental surgery just weeks before he died. Before the official cause of Sage’s sudden and untimely death became known, theories were abound – people suspected everything from drugs, to alcohol, to suicide. But the truth would ultimately be more heartbreaking than anyone could have imagined. Tough Childhood, Tough Adulthood Experiencing the loss of a child is an unspeakable predicament. But Sylvester “Rocky Balboa” Stallone unfortunately had it tough even before the unfathomable loss of his son, who died at just 36 years of age. In many ways, Stallon...

King Charles’ unexpected response after Rod Stewart praised him for putting ‘ratbag’ Trump ‘in his place’

The air in the room was thick with the polished silence of high-society London, a place where every word is usually measured and every opinion carefully veiled. But Rod Stewart, a man who built a career on defying convention, wasn’t interested in the usual pleasantries. Leaning in toward King Charles, the rock icon dropped a verbal bomb that echoed louder than any stadium anthem, labeling Donald Trump a “little ratbag” right as the cameras captured the entire, shocking exchange and the world held its breath. The King’s reaction was a masterclass in royal ambiguity—a flicker of an expression that could have been amusement, discomfort, or simply the practiced indifference of a man who has spent a lifetime navigating the treacherous waters of public scrutiny. This brief, unscripted collision between rock royalty and the British Crown has become a lightning rod, exposing the raw nerves that still exist whenever the name of the former American president is mentioned in the halls of po...

Orphaned young and raised on the streets, this young man became a music and TV icon

Before the world knew him as the face of justice on television or the pioneer of gangsta rap, there was only a boy in Newark facing a silence so profound it could swallow a soul. Losing both parents before his thirteenth birthday left him adrift, a child navigating a landscape of grief and abandonment that would have broken most. He was a boy staring into the abyss of his own future, unaware that his path would lead through the darkest corners of Los Angeles, where the collision of race, poverty, and survival turned a stolen bike into a gateway for petty crime. The young man who would become Ice-T was not born into fame; he was forged in the fires of necessity. As he drifted between relatives and coasts, he developed a rigid, almost paradoxical code: while he engaged in the dangerous hustle of the streets, he remained fiercely sober, avoiding the drugs and alcohol that claimed so many of his peers. It was a survival strategy born of pure, unadulterated fear. Even a stint in the U...
