June 08, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC There are a lot of things I would rather do than shop for a swimsuit: watch a documentary about elevator mechanisms, scrub a pan that I’ve made cauliflower gnocchi in without soaking it first, get on the 405 during rush hour… the list goes on. I mean, honestly, let’s raise a glass to online shopping. There’s something infinitely better about trying on a swimsuit from your own home, surrounded by comforting things like mugs half-filled with old coffee and random shoes strewn across the floor. Even as someone who is comfortable in my own skin, there is something particularly soul-sucking about going into a dressing room and slipping into a skintight, skin baring article of clothing. And if you, like me, have boobs that are dense like dying stars, you likely have felt personally victimized by a swimsuit or twelve. They’re either not supportive or—sorry not sorry—they’re kind of ugly. Where are all the cute, supportive swimsuits? I had a recent press appointment to check out a brand’s latest swimwear collection, and I made my appointment for 9 a.m. like the fool that I am. Let me tell you, getting across town to try on swimsuits for work during rush hour has got to be one of Dante’s circles of hell. But as I tried on the different suits, sans coffee but plus body anxiety, I realized something: when a swimsuit is able to make your big boobs look good and also give

Porn vs. reality: Here’s everything you’ve ever wanted to know about squirting
June 08, 2019 at 06:00AM by CWC It seems like many people are just about as confused about squirting as they are about why people feel the need to ghost each other. So, in the interest of filling in sex-knowledge gaps, pros are here to explain female ejaculation myths and facts: where it comes from, what it’s made of, and how to actually do it. First things first, though: Female ejaculation isn’t some porn-propagated urban legend. “Even ancient texts, like the The Kama Sutra, reference women’s ability to expel fluids during sex,” says sexologist Jess O’Reilly, PhD, host of the Sex with Dr. Jess Podcast. “Squirting is the word most people use to refer to the ejaculation in people with vaginas, but it’s a bit of a misnomer.” Basically, dismiss the image of a hose-like release. “Usually, the fluid expelled is about a teaspoon in volume and doesn’t actually squirt across the room.” That said, there is variability in what squirting looks and feels like. Some women’s ejaculate may dribble, and others’ may gush, spray, or actually squirt with force, says sexologist Sadie Allison, PhD, founder of sex-toy boutique Tickle Kitty. “It comes down to each person’s body and anatomy.” Dr. O’Reilly likens the situation to sweat, and how that volume varies between people. How common is female ejaculation? While data suggests that anywhere between 10 and 50 percent of women experience involuntary ejaculation in their lifetime, Dr. O’Reilly suspects that more women are capable. “It’s likely that most women

All the raisins—er, reasons—grapes are good for you, according to a registered dietitian
June 08, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Grapes are blessedly one of the most accessible fruits there is. Even if your local supermarket doesn’t stock some of the more exotic summer fruits like papaya, kiwi, or mango, they probably still have beautiful bunches of green or red grapes no matter the season. But given that they’re so sugary sweet and delicious…that can’t be a good thing for you health-wise, right? It has to be too good to be true. If a low-carb diet has you wondering whether grapes are good for you, you’re in luck: the little globes pack in a ton of health benefits, says registered dietitian Cara Harbstreet, RD. (Phew!) Here’s what she says you need to know. What are the nutritional benefits of grapes? 1. Grapes are full of polyphenols. Polyphenols are active compounds naturally found in plants (including many fruits and vegetables); grapes are particularly high in them. “The polyphenols in grapes that we tend of think of have antioxidant properties, which may support health by lowering risk of inflammatory conditions such as heart disease,” Harbstreet says. Another 2015 meta-analysis found that grape polyphenols could help reduce blood pressure. 2. Grapes are a good source of vitamin K. Just half a cup of grapes gives 14 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin K, which is pretty great for such a small serving. “Vitamin K is an important nutrient for blood clotting, bone health, and may play a role in regulating blood pressure,” Harbstreet says. “Although
