Why are young people going back to flip phones?
Flip phones or ‘dumb’ phones as they are sometimes called are making a comeback but you might be surprised to know that it's gen Z, in other words people born between 1997 and 2010 and not your grandparents who are buying them. Well unlike smartphones, the dumb phone can only make phone calls or send text messages and with only twelve buttons and no predictive text dumbphone users get straight to the point. People like them because of their vintage appeal, but above all it meets a need to disconnect. At a time when we're constantly on our smartphones, the return to basic dumbphone functions seems to offer a breath of fresh air and a well-deserved break in our hyper-connected world.Why do they like them? Why does this appeal specifically to Generation Z? So what is the effect of using a dumbphone? Can it compete with smartphones?

What are the strangest reactions caused by an orgasm ?

It sets the heart racing, ramps up breathing, and sends blood rushing to the penis or clitoris, causing them to become erect.Of course reaching orgasm isn’t guaranteed. Before it happens, there's typically a sequence of desire, arousal, and plateau. An orgasm is marked by intense muscular contractions in the genital area and a profound sense of pleasure. Sometimes, this climax can lead to intriguing reactions.What's behind the pleasure of an orgasm then? What other reactions are possible?

How can I beat my work addiction ?
Being a grafter or hustler is often portrayed in a positive light when it comes to the world of work. But there are a host of negative consequences that can arise when a person becomes a workaholic. The term was invented by American psychologist Wayne Oates back in 1971.Oates said workaholics had “an uncontrollable need to work incessantly”, and called it an addiction. It’s a real mental health condition, and like with other addictions, it manifests as the inability to stop doing something.So it basically means working really long hours, does it? Who is most likely to become a workaholic?

Can women really get a core-gasm from exercise ?
We all know that exercise does wonders for our bodies. But what might come as a surprise is that it can even bring us to climax, at least for women. Now, that might sound a bit far-fetched, but it's actually true: achieving the ultimate pleasure during a workout is possible.According to Medicalnewstoday.com, renowned sexologist Dr. Alfred Kinsey was the first to document instances of coregasms, noting links between orgasms and exercise in his 1953 book Sexual Behavior in the Human Female. Now bear in mind that a coregasm isn't triggered by stimulation of erogenous zones; rather, it's an internal phenomenon that occurs within a woman's body. Are you talking about the same kind of orgasm we have during sex ? What kinds of exercise can lead to a coregasm then ? Is the coregasm a common phenomenon then ?
