Artificial intelligence. Data gathering. Internet cookies. Threesomes? However you slice it, we live in a New Tech World, in which your most forbidden desires may now be on display.

If your lustful preferences match your generation’s, SKYN’s 2019 Intimacy Survey scientists know more about your sex life than you do—and they didn’t even need Cambridge Analytica to find out.

Before we get into the juicy deets; a quick rundown on how the factoids sex-toids were gleaned. Essentially SKYN, an uber soft, non-latex condom brand, hired a “private third-party research firm” to ask 1,000 nationally representative Gen Z (18-22) adults and 1,000 nationally representative Millennials (23-38) a host of questions about their bedroom habits.

Here’s what they found.

60% Fantasise About Threesomes

Assuming the survey respondents really were “representative” of their generation, 32% of Millennials and Gen Z adults are open to having a threesome (but have never had one), while 31% winked at the questionnaire and said, “Been there, done that.”

However, Not Many Have Actually Had One

Despite this hankering for a third wheel, it turns out 69% (insert quip here) of Millennials have never actually had a threesome. That said, as only 38% said they would not consider it, we could see these figures change for the sexier.

Most Desire A Well-Sized Appendage…

Whether small or big we’ll leave up to your imagination, but 65% of respondents say that “penis size is important.”

Half Can’t Get Enough ‘Doggystyle’

57% said Doggystyle was their favourite sex position, with missionary coming in behind at 46%, and cowgirl at 30%.

Foreplay Is Important—Especially For Blondes

88% of blonde survey respondents said that “setting the mood” was crucial.

People With Black Hair Expect More Orgasms?

According to the survey, 43% of Millennials and Gen Z respondents with black hair have multiple orgasms per “session”.

Masturbating Is No Longer Taboo

Stats show, on average, people engage in 3 ‘self-love’ sessions a week.

• 18: the average age respondents had lost their virginity.
• 12: the average number of sexual partners respondents had had in a lifetime.
• 9: the average number of times respondents had sex a month.
• 28: the average duration of a single sex session.
• 44% had used vibrators.
• 27% had used dildos.
• 25% had used handcuffs.
• 32% sometimes use lube, 30% never use it, 26% rarely use it and 12% always use it.
• 50% have used DM’s on social media to sext.
• 37% have filmed themselves having sex.

Baselworld may have been dominated by familiar Swiss names this year but Gucci certainly gave it a good shot with their latest Grip collection – a strikingly unusual line of watches which are inspired by the 1970s skateboarding scene.

We’re not too sure which part of it is supposed to be reminiscent of skating but it appears the case is designed to mimic the clean and flat surface of a skateboard deck. The result is an analogue design with three rotating dials to show the time and date – kind of like scales.

Not many Australian boxers can boast a record of 20 wins to 0 losses, but Tim Tszyu can.

Australia’s current number one super welterweight boxer, Tim Tszyu is the son of the Soviet-born Australian boxer Kostya Tszyu, the man with multiple world championships in the light welterweight class.

Of course, while much of Tim Tszyu’s boxing talent may be natural, and inherited from his father, he obviously has to undergo some serious boxing workout routines to ensure he maintains his winning record. But what kind of boxing workouts and training regimes does he put his body through?

Allow us to reveal all as we run through some of Tim Tszyu’s favourite boxing workouts to keep him in fighting fit shape, along with other tips such as how he keeps his mind focused and his meal plans in order.

Check out some of Tim Tszyu’s best boxing workouts in the video below.

Building A Pro Boxer’s Mindset

It’s crucial to highlight the commitment required to reach Tim Tszyu’s level of competitive fitness. Freakish genes aside, Tim Tszyu is in the boxing gym 6 days a week with Sunday being his only recovery day. Part of his recovery for relaxing the body and mind involves:

• Physio once a week for a massage
• Sauna once a week which Tim alternates three times between hot-cold, hot-cold, hot-cold: “it refreshes me, my muscles and my body feels better the next day.”

Tszyu says the latter helps with his sleep, alertness and muscle relaxation.

A Pro Boxer’s Strength Training

When it comes to his strength training there’s no secret technique for Tim Tszyu. It’s all about structure, discipline and a bit of versatility. Below is a rundown of his regular week.

• 3 strength sessions per week all based on punching and leg movements (lots of push exercises including squats, deadlifts and chin-ups)
• 5 days a week of morning run sessions
• 6 days a week of afternoon boxing sessions which includes sparring and pad work with a trainer

When it comes to building muscle it’s nothing like bodybuilding in a gym. Depending on how close a fight is, Tim Tszyu will get into weights to build functional strength through:

• Sled pushing
• Battle ropes
• Kettlebell exercises

“Doing dumbbell curls isn’t going to help me produce anything in the ring. Everything’s based on punching and based on leg movements.”

As a boxer, you can lift heavier weights to build your strength, but you need to do it before your fight prep starts.

“As soon as you start boxing you start slimming down because you’re always worried about the weight [class]. So you have to keep that in mind.”

Speed & Reflex Training

To get the sheer speed of a professional boxer you’ll need to do some serious punching bag work. Tim Tszyu recommends the ‘2-4-6’ punch combo (2 punches in succession, then 4 punches, then 6 punches) with 1 minute on and 30-second rounds.

“Keep doing this,” he says.

“When you’re punching for speed you have to forget about power and do as many punches as you can. You don’t want to do too many though because it becomes endurance; you want them to become purely speed. Aim for 2 or 4 punches – 6 max. To improve your footwork in the ring, do sprint sessions.”

Building Stamina Like A Boxer

A fighter’s body needs stamina and it’s Tim Tszyu’s specific drills that give him the longevity he needs to take on his opponent. His pad work involves:

• 12 rounds or more with leg weights
• 3.5-minute rounds (the standard round is 3 minutes)
• Chasing medicine balls
• Punching medicine balls in reverse
• Extensive pad work with his coach

Beyond the ring, Tim Tszyu builds stamina by swimming. At first, he could only do 50m before gassing out. He eventually reached 500m and is now at 1,000m in sessions which last 45 at one session per week.

“It’s lots of upper body strength and [focusing on] your breathing. At first I thought everything was about your breathing, but once you get that right and you still don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll be smashed at 50m or 100m.”

In other words, get your swimming technique right alongside your breathing.

Rest Is Paramount At Pro Boxing Levels

For someone that trains as intensely as Tim Tszyu, rest and recovery are vital.

“You have to have your rest and recovery. You can overtrain so listen to your body. As soon as I know I have a fight, I’ll train pretty hard as I know the guy I’m fighting is training so I have to be three times ahead of him. The most important thing is you can’t just train hard, you have to train smart.”

You Can’t Out Train A Good Diet

Apparently, there’s something called a ‘Russian boxer’s diet’ of caviar and Vodka, but Tszyu jokes that he’ll never try it. Instead, his real diet consists of:

• Clean food and lots of water
• Lots of vegetables and carbs – an ice cream container’s worth of salad, potatoes, chicken or fish
• Poached eggs and avocado for breakfast

“Diet is one of the most important things. You can’t be eating bad because you’ll feel crap and you can’t maximise your performance. As soon as you start eating clean and healthy, you’ll feel 100%.”

Will the real Dr. Strange please stand up? Benedict Cumberbatch is known for his eclectic dress sense on our pages. They often range from perfectly tailored suits to smart casual to the downright odd, and his latest look showed us that he can really turn a scarf into a statement.

Stepping out at the the ‘Hermes: Step Into The Frame’ show at Nine Elms in London this week, Cumberbatch rocked a teal mid-length field jacket over a graphic sweater that was paired to navy chinos and grey sneakers. What really took the look to the next level though was his scarf – assumingly a Hermes item from the latest collection, Cumberbatch wore the scarf in a way that most men would ever.

It appears to be a simple loop around scarf but the amount of fabric on hand turned it into something more of an oversized cravat. Slightly rolled with splashes of darker blue tones, the scarf was the perfect centrepiece to an otherwise safe and smart casual look. But before we move on, we’d like to bring your attention to the affinity Cumberbatch has had with scarves.

Here’s Cumberbatch rocking a standard scarf in a full corduroy leisure suit (we didn’t know they still sold those).

While age-old stereotypes cast men as lustful and women as demure, the world has (thankfully) changed. Nowhere is this more evident than Twitter, where women are now competing to see who can come up with the most outrageous declaration of love for their favourite A-listers, reaching levels of ‘thirst’ only previously seen in an Instagram influencer’s comment section.

While the prudes see it as the degeneration of society (and others miss the point completely), Graham Norton saw the funny side of it. So when the likes of Michael B. Jordan, Chris Pine and Matt Damon appeared on his show, he presented them with the most hilarious proclamations made by their fans.

While they all received a whole lot of love, Michael B. Jordan appears to be the fan favourite, with comments ranging from the hilarious to the deranged. And to be fair: with looks like these, we’re hardly surprised…

A post shared by Michael B. Jordan (@michaelbjordan) on Mar 14, 2019 at 12:26pm PDT

“Someone tell Michael B. Jordan that my ovaries are ready to produce Michael C Jordan when he’s ready. I’m patient,” one quipped.

Not bad, you might think. But then it got weird, as comments like, “Does Michael B. Jordan make anyone else wanna rip their lungs out and eat them whole… he’s so babe,” began flying around the room.

While some fans suggested things were spiralling:

Lol you took it too far with the Michael B Jordan

— trinity. (@trininny) 26 March 2019

Others happily continued:

“I would sell three toes and one kidney to be in the same room as Michael B. Jordan.”

His response? “That’s so creative…” In other words, not as hard a ‘pass’, as you would expect, but not a firm yes either. Which is to say the appreciation tweets are unlikely to stop any time soon:

However, when you compare him to Matt Damon, he got off easy. Matt was ambushed by Norton on another night, with the same kind of Tweets, which—despite beginning soft and cuddly—quickly descended into more aggressive fantasies.

“Matt Damon I will use your ponytail to steer while you dine upon my lady sandwich ok?”

If you didn’t give a toss before you might need to now. Porn addiction is a growing issue amongst today’s men. At worst, it can ruin your relationships, your career and mess with your moral compass.

It’s prolific too, if you believe the stats. According to a 2017 report from the Huffington Post, porn sites receive more regular traffic than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined per month. And the hours we spend watching porn? Pornhub Analytics pegged it at 5,517,000,000 hours in 2018 alone for visitors to their site. In other words it’s increasing.

Last year we had the chance to explore porn addiction with Channel 10’s relationship manager, Samantha Jayne. This time we’re taking a more psychological approach (signs, triggers and consequences) with the help of psychologist Luke Vu who specialises in pornography and internet addiction.

“The youth of today and tomorrow’s men will have learn to self-manage their porn use given that virtual reality porn is quickly becoming more accessible.”

Why Porn Addiction Is A Real Issue

For the most part, porn addiction has been the by-product of the internet and isn’t hereditary in nature. Vu says that the increase in problematic online pornography is overwhelmingly due to technology.

“Its free, it’s easily accessible and there’s the whole notion of ‘no-one knows you’re using it’,” he explains. This endless novelty and the freedom to explore with a mouse click is the reason why so many men have become dependent on porn for arousal.

“Porn in the 1990s and early 2000s were more pragmatically difficult to get – you’d have to go to a video store or purchase a DVD – and this meant that you’d need to manage your urges for sexual novelty.”

These days it’s obvious to see how technology has changed the way society consumes content and pornography, but Vu says there’s an even bigger predicament on the horizon.

“I think the youth of today and tomorrow’s men will have learn to self-manage their porn use given that virtual reality (VR) porn is quickly becoming more accessible.”

How Do You Know You’re Addicted To Porn?

Vu explains that ‘addiction’ can often mean different things to the public and a psychologist. “To be diagnosed with an addiction requires a formal assessment by mental health professional such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. It’s also controversial because it is still an active area of research.”

Nonetheless, these are four of the most common signs that you could be addicted to pornography:

• You repeatedly fail at your attempts to control your porn use
• You regularly use more porn (or more intense porn) than intended
• You use porn as a means of avoiding negative emotions or problems
• Your porn use is interfering with your daily life i.e. work, study,
  relationships and health

If you answered ‘yes’ to a few of these, it might be worth talking to a mental health professional.

Why Is It Difficult To Control Porn Addiction?

It’s as simple as pressing ‘stop’ and turning off your screen isn’t it? Not quite.

“Porn is a supernormal stimulus. It’s a stimulus that elicits a response stronger than what humans were evolutionarily prepared for. The endless variety of sexual partners, sexual acts and its connection to our primal urges strongly recruit our reward systems and motivates use,” explains Vu.

And then there’s accessibility. These days porn is free, endless and on-demand, meaning there’s more opportunities to slip back into old habits even when trying to stop. The last reason is that porn is enjoyable to consume. It allows users to indulge in their sexual fantasies and the idea of giving that up is therefore often pretty difficult.

What Happens If You Leave It Untreated?

Like any problem that’s left untreated it can get worse. Those using porn excessively could be neglecting their own personal relationships as they’re supplementing a genuine connection for a sexual one. This neglect then leads to relationship breakdowns or divorce.

On the career front, Vu says it can affect your work performance if you’re spending countless hours and nights in search of the “perfect” porn clip – getting fired for porn addiction is very real these days. The other side is that excessive porn use has some unique consequences. For some, their sexual interests change. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but it can be bad. Vu says you could find yourself seeking out porn that doesn’t align with your values or worse, that’s considered illegal.

Most Dangerous Trends In Porn Addiction

One of the most worrying trends of porn addiction is the detachment to the real world. Patients may experience difficulty with being aroused psychologically and physically with their real life sexual encounters – a condition often referred to as Pornography Induced Erectile Dysfunction.

“Sometimes sexual dysfunction is due to anxiety and constant mental comparison with the porn they’ve consumed. For others it’s due to the chronic desensitisation from aggressive masturbation techniques – colloquially known as ‘death-grip syndrome’.”

One of the most concerning trends is when porn habits escalate into mixing the arousal of sex with ‘taboo’ subjects. “Some clients are disgusted and distressed at themselves after reflecting on what they’ve consumed.”

How To Train Your Brain To Stop Watching Porn

Recovery from porn addiction is always possible according to Vu. “Brain patterns are changeable and you can always break old habits and form new and healthier habits,” he says.

Those concerned about their porn habits can use these steps to curb consumption.

• Monitor your use – especially if it exceeds a few hours and you begin watching it at work or during breaks
• Understand your use and the reasons why you shouldn’t be using it
• Assess what is your reasonable/manageable amount
• Be deliberate with your use – set a time, set safe categories and define what the red
  flags are
• Accept and learn to deal with urges as you attempt to cut down – think about the consequences or use distractions like sports or other hobbies to replace porn

What’s life without a glimpse of the pointier end of horology? At Baselworld this year Bell & Ross presented four new chronograph models under the R.S. 19 Collection with varying price entry points.

Whilst our personal favourite is the standard BR-X1, it’s this particular BR-X1 Tourbillon Chronograph that will really get people talking. At US$194,000 it’s no drop in the ocean. The BR-X1 Tourbillon Chronograph essentially takes the distinctive framework of the BR-X1 and amps it up with a hand-winding mechanical flying tourbillon calibre. That’s a big ask considering the standard BR-X1 retails in the region of US$21,500.

Nonetheless the movement you’re getting is still a work of art complete with a skeletonised dial, titanium case and an exclusivity which sees just 20 pieces available worldwide.

Ref: BRX1-CHTB-RS19/SRB
Case: 45mm satin-polished titanium and matte ceramic with rubber inserts
