THE pandemic has killed women’s libido more than men’s. And Lynsey Hope finds out that it’s not the only difference in the battle of the sexes . WOMEN BRAIN WOMEN FALL IN LOVE AFTER SEX: During sex, our brains release oxytocin, known as the “cuddle hormone”. It lowers defences and makes us trust. Women produce more of it, so are more likely to let their guard down and fall in love after sex. Sex expert Kate Taylor says: “Men release oxytocin during sex but other hormones like testosterone can dampen its effect, leading women to feel up to eight times more bonded after sex than a man.” EYES JUST AS TURNED ON BY PORN: Men watch three times as much porn as women so it is often presumed they get hornier while watching it.

She faces the ordeal of a public funeral when surely, if she had any choice in the matter, common sense decrees that she would prefer to say goodbye to Prince Phillip in private, without the eyes of the world on her. However, duty before self. And so, as always, on she will undoubtedly go. Meanwhile, stage left, Prince Harry – who had to give up his honorary military titles post Megxit – reportedly let it be known that he still … [Read more...] about ‘Harry and Andrew squabbling about funeral fancy dress is what you expect from Kardashians’
