If you’ve ever wondered (let’s face it: you have) how your hygiene habits stack up against the average stud, you’re in luck. We just conducted an anonymous survey of 2,000 men from all over Australia, with the noble aim of exposing the weirdest and worst things guys do in the bathroom.

So: girlfriends, wives and casual Tinder acquaintances—avert your eyes—or risk knowing what your men are really doing while they’re talking to you on the phone.

Although men have long complained about how long it takes women to get ready to go out, the results of the survey paint a different picture.

“Women may be shocked to hear that men spend an average of 29 minutes getting ready for work, a date or another important life event.”

When it came to bathroom behaviour, the survey showed when it came to showering, as many as 20 per cent admitted they only wash their ‘important bits’ rather than the entire body.

A third of respondents also said they happily go to work without showering. On the other hand; over half revealed they took time to moisturise and care for their skin.

There are two types of people, those that pee in the shower and liars.

83 per cent admitted to urinating while in the shower, to the apparent horror of their partners. However we reckon further research is required into whether women partake in this lazy pleasure too.

While most men take care of their teeth, 40 per cent of those surveyed claim to only brush their teeth once a day. The same number of men (i.e. 40 per cent) saved time by brushing their teeth in the shower.

“Although some areas were neglected, fingernails and ears received surprisingly close attention, with 70 per cent saying they regularly cleaned these areas.”

Our survey also uncovered some gross toilet habits; leaving the toilet seat up was just the start. This unsavoury behaviour was worse in public toilets, with as many as 10 per cent of participants saying they didn’t flush after they used the bathroom.

Perhaps to cope with their compatriots (or their own) shitty behaviour, 30 per cent revealed they line the toilet seat with toilet paper when using an unfamiliar bathroom. The same percentage also preferred to ‘scrunch’ their toilet paper rather than fold.

See the full survey results below

• 28 Minutes is the average time it takes an Aussie male to get ready for work, a date or other important life events.
• Over 70% admit they have no issues breaking wind in front of their partner.
• 1 in 5 only wash the important bits rather than the entire body.
• 2 in 5 claim to only brush their teeth once a day… the same goes for using dental floss.
• 7 in 10 regularly clean under their fingernails, the same figure applies for cleaning their ears.
• Over 50% admit to preferring to sit down to pee.
• 1 in 10 are guilty of public toilet behaviour like not flushing and peeing on the seat.
• 2 in 5 spit in the urinal or toilet when peeing (although we think this number is higher).
• 1 in 5 refuse to clean the porcelain after a deadly number two.
• 4 in 5 are gaming and instagramming when sitting on the toilet.
• Only 10% admit to talking on the phone whilst doing a number 2.
• Over half are guilty of regularly leaving the toilet seat up.
• 3 in 10 men line the toilet with toilet paper when using unfamiliar loo’s… The same figure applies to men who scrunch rather than fold.
• 4 in 10 brush their teeth in the shower.
• 4 in 5 men are guilty of shower nose blowing… even more admitted to peeing in the shower. Yes, some 83%.
• Over 50% admit to masturbating regularly in the shower.
• 30% will happily go to work without showering… peeewww.
• 53% take time to moisturise and look after their skin.
• 7 in 10 take the time to trim their pubic hair. So metro! The same figure applies to those who trim nose & ear hair.

We’ve just spent seven days testing the new Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo in Sydney. This is the first incarnation of the Panamera ‘wagon’ variation and part of a well received facelift for the Porsche Panamera range. For the uninitiated the Porsche Panamera is the brand’s answer to a saloon automobile. Four doors, lots of Porsche power and that iconic styling we all love.

From Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach to the Blue Mountains, we put this beautiful (and big) car through its paces. The Panamera costs more than Porsche’s 911 and Cayenne ranges but offers a lot of great features and general driving pleasure to warrant the big price tag. Is it practical? The short answer is yes. It has lots of room but is more suitable to a family with 1 or 2 kids. Any more kids and it’s not the car for you.

From the good and bad, we break down what we loved and what was a miss. Thankfully for the $423,170 (plus on road costs), there’s a lot to love.

Quick Facts About The Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Tourismo

Official D’Marge Head Turn Rating: 8 out of 10
Model: Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo
0-100: 3.8 seconds
Transmission: 8 Speed PDK
Base Price: AU RRP: $390,700
Model Price: AU$423,170

1. The ‘Crayon’ colour tells everyone you give zero fuchs about resale value… and we respect that. This is the hottest colour on the road at the moment.

People really couldn’t get enough of the colour. We had many positive comments.

2. 400kw [500hp] is far too much power for a family hauler but we can never go back after driving the Turbo variant. FYI – It has more power output than the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

3. The Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo Is Long… Really really long [5.49m] compared to a BMW 3 Series [4.6m]. It’s also kinda deceptive from the driver’s seat. There’s a higher chance of your mistress destroying the rims at Westfield.

4. It does 0-100 in 3.8sec – which is astonishingly quick for a wagon. On city roads it’s beautiful to drive but on country roads you hit high speeds deceptively quickly. NSW license point tally TBC.

5. It’s wide… very wide, measuring 1.93m. Compared to the Rolls Royce Ghost [1.95m], Audi RS6 Avante [1.88m], BMW 3 Series Touring [1.7m].

6. The Panamera’s headlight design cues from Macan, Cayman and Boxter rather than the classic 911. Thankfully it’s maintains the iconic shape.

7. The stunning 21” rims fill the wheel arches like they should on a high performance car like this.

8. The full length rear tail lights look incredible at night. There’s also an adjustable rear spoiler but it’s kinda pointless on a wagon especially in Australia.

9. The boot has a truckload of space with the seats folding down a bonus. You would fit some enough ski equipment for the weekend away.

10. The Sunroof aka the ‘Susan Renouf’. One for the back seat passengers and one for the adults in the front.

11. The Panamera has room for four people only. Which is a perfect excuse to not have any more than two children or friends.

Also enough leg room for tall people…

12. The centre console and infotainment system is one of the best on the road. Still feels futuristic but without dumb knobs and wheels. You can change setting while on the move relatively easily.

13. The Porsche navigation and screen is better than your iPhone. We used it exclusively during our 7 day test.

Never thought those words would come out of my mouth… also we didn’t get a chance to test the Porsche Connect System.

14. There was no head up display. WTF?! For $440,000 we expected it to have that. Even a Toyota Yaris has this.

15. The Bose sound system is good but it lacked that extra punch. Probably not suitable for Chap Laps (see explanation).

16. You can see interior mood lighting to your personal taste or mood. In my case, I set it to match my ginger hair.

17. Love how Porsche have stuck with the ‘faux’ turn key start even if you don’t have to insert the key.

Need to keep those old school touches.

18. Unlike the pointless Aston Martin Rapide, the backseats are actually useful and comfortable for long trips.

19. We counted no less than 4 USB ports. More than our Macbook Pro. Should be enough to keep the backseat passengers charged.

20. My girlfriend only got mildly car sick on our weekend drive. The Porsche Panamera’s drive is one of the smoothest I’ve experienced. Almost as good as the Rolls-Royce.

It’s important for any man to have a strong male role model as they mature into the years and grapple with the toils of courtship. We’re not saying we’re perfect, but we have been around the metaphorical block a few times to know the right way to act around someone you’re interested in without coming across as a creep or dodgy panel van driver.Here are the things that women notice about you first.

The Way You Shake Her Hand

It’s excusable if you may not know how to kiss a girl, but if your handshake resembles a wet fish then you’ll never get to first base. Unless you’re Italian then we recommend not kissing a girl when you meet her, rather offer a respectable handshake. Don’t crush her hand, rather grasp it firmly and with intent that you’re a whole lot of hunka hunka burning love.

Your Package Down Below – Your Shoes

My older sister always told me, “Girls notice nice shoes”. So do away with those Skechers, put your sneakers in the wash and go out and invest in some nice dress shoes for a night on the town. If you scare her away with bad shoes buzz, then you’ll be kicking yourself (pun intended).

The Way You Get Down…On The Dance Floor

Two words: Patrick Swayze. How you move on the dancefloor tells a woman how you’ll move in the bedroom. If you’re puffed before the first chorus, or jump around like a jack rabbit then you’re dead in the water. Keep it cool and clean (no grinding please) and you’ll be past gate #3.

How You Move Through A Crowded Room

Waving to her like you’re being electrocuted is no way to signal ‘your prince has arrived’. Nor is pushing people out of the way to reach the bar. Rather, command a presence by walking through the room with a relaxed demeanour that says: “I may have ridden a horse here, but you’ll have to buy me a drink to find out”. We recommend a gentle saunter.

Old Fashioned Manners

Good manners is NOT letting her pay for everything. Fair is fair, women go through childbirth, we pick up the tab occasionally. Seriously though, be grateful she’s given you the time of day. Don’t be a sook and remember which is the knife, the fork and the location of the front door when she politely asks you to “f*ck off”.

Your Eyes

Your eyes are the window to your soul so anything you’re thinking, she’s picking up on. Looking at her like a steak? She knows what that means. Glaring at her like she just pooped on the carpet? No chance, buster. Be a man who’s happy to look directly at her and not be distracted by other women or bright shinny objects.

Your Mouth Is Made For Kissing

You wouldn’t jump into the IKEA ball pit if it were full of snakes? Nor would a women dive in for a kiss if your gob was dry and crackly, or overly salivary, or yellow, or full of ash. You might laugh at me, but a pack of mints and some lip balm is a man’s best friend when out on the town. And remember to keep those Gene Simmons impersonations in check.

How You Are With Kids

We don’t recommend taking kids to bars or nightclubs, but if you’re at a kid friendly social gathering then act appropriately because she may be watching. You don’t need to gush about how you cannot wait to have kids, instead show interest and avoid recoiling in horror if they put their sticky hands “ON MY GOD DAMN NEW GUCCI CHINOS!”

Strong Forearms

Women tell me that “forearms under rolled up shirt sleeves are attractive and masculine”. Yes that’s right, Popeye looks like he’ll finally make the 100 Most Beautiful People list after all. There’s no need to be Arnie though, but do give the dumbbells a go every once in a while and it will hopefully be noticed.

How You Act When She Gets Hit On By Other Guys

Now this is a tricky situation. Play it too cool, and she’ll think you’re not interested, however play it like a possessed jealous asshole and you’ll earn a free restraining order. The truth is, you’ll be wanting to get all Fight Club on the guy, but it’s best to always appear confident and friendly. You don’t want to sound warning bells before you’ve got to know her. Why? Because crazy don’t wash off.RELATED: Simple Tricks That Will Make You Look More Intelligent

He’s only 19-years-old but what Shawn Mendes lacks in life experience he certainly makes up for in the wardrobe department.

The Canadian singer rocked up to The Rolling Stone relaunch party overnight in a simple yet killer combo: Floral shirt, denim, leather boots. The look was a winner from every angle but what was a bigger hit was the colour Mendes opted for. Call it burgundy, marsala or aubergine, there’s no debating that it went well with his skinny black denim.

RELATED: How To Wear Bold Floral Prints In Any Season

The look is simple as hell to pull off. Find yourself a nice floral long sleeve shirt, tuck it in, roll up the sleeves, leave two buttons off and your top layer is done. Instant rock star cred. Mendes employed the Balleter Floral Printed Shirt from Reiss for this look but we’ve also included a few others from Haider Ackermann and Loveless that can do just as good a job.

US$17.5 million (approximately AU$23.71 million). Read it, let it settle in for a second and then wipe away your tears with a dirty hundred dollar bill. Not because you want this particular car but because you probably don’t have that kind of coin to throw on a set of wheels (and neither do we).

The most preposterous thing however isn’t the record breaking price, but the fact that this car isn’t even a proper convertible. That’s right – you can only drive it on the sunniest of days with your dodgy toupee on full show.

Those who are fans of the Italian marque would recall that the Zonda ended its eighteen year production run recently bar a few final special edition models. The Zonda HP Barchetta is one of them and there’s only three in the world – one belonging to Pagani founder Horacio Pagani and two more models for customers that have already been spoken for.

The car’s staggering price which was revealed by Top Gear makes it more expensive than the previous record-breaker, the Rolls-Royce Sweptail which went for US$13 million.

So what does a eight-figure price tag get you? Less. A lot less. The Zonda HP Barchetta (named after Horacio Pagani) comes with a traditional manual transmission paired to the company’s 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 to deliver 590kW of power.

And did we mention there’s also no roof? It makes you wonder where the remaining US$16 million went…oh wait, our bad.

The Zonda HP Barchetta gets a fancy window design, rear wheel fairings and an odd looking snorkel air scoop which may or may not be a metaphor for a penis-extension.

Not convinced? Neither are we. We’ll wait for Mercedes-AMG’s Project One. Watch the clip from Goodwood below then let us know if you think the coin is worth the car.

With its dazzling beaches, verdant parks, jaw-slackening ocean-pools, and iconic Circular Quay, Sydney is the supermodel of cities. It’s Heidi. It’s Naomi. It’s Cindy. It’s Gisele. And when you’ve got a 10, you’re not in a hurry to let it go.But venture beyond its borders and you’ll discover a whole world of 10s await. After all, every lover deserves a hall pass every now and then. Whether you’re a foodie or a beach bum, a mountain man or a wine guy, an auto aficionado or an art enthusiast, a first-rate escape from your urban ennui is just a day trip away.We’ve hand-picked eight of the very best day trips from Sydney, so set aside a weekend day or call the boss with your best fake cough. It’s time for a mini adventure-fix.

Hunter Valley

Wine and dine (but mostly wine) in NSW’s premiere grape-growing region. Bacchus’ favourite bevvy has been made here since the early 1800s, making it Australia’s oldest wine producing territory. Over one hundred vineyards call the valley home, many of which allow drop-in tastings, and the region’s edible options are equally stellar.Beyond its gluttonous pleasures, the Hunter Valley offers art galleries, hot air balloon excursions, walking tracks, cooking courses, helicopter tours, day spas, and more. Use our guide to Hunter Valley wine tours to plan your visit.

Blue Mountains

Elvis had blue suede shoes and a blue Christmas. Sydney day-trippers have the Blue Mountains. An easy trip by car or train, the Blue Mountains take their name from the azure haze that often blankets their plateaus and gorges. Most visitors make a beeline for the Three Sisters, and though the famous rock formation is undoubtedly a spectacular sight, it’s not all this getaway has going for it.The World Heritage-listed area boasts the Katoomba Scenic Railway (the steepest funicular railway in the world), a glass-bottomed cable car, and the dramatic Bridal Veil Falls. The nearby Jenolan Caves are also an impressive stop if subterranean adventures are your vibe. And if you’re a rock climber, mountain biker or a rookie keen to try canyoning—this is the place to be.

Jervis Bay

A weekend in picture-perfect Jervis Bay would be ideal, but you won’t regret the three-hour drive if a day is all your schedule will allow. The star attraction is Hyams Beach, which doesn’t just have blindingly white sand – it has the whitest sand in the entire world, according to Guinness World Records.Your itinerary need not be complicated. Swim. Sunbathe. Snorkel, scuba dive, or surf if you’re feeling active. Scout for migrating whales if you’re there during the season (May to November). Stop at the Treat Factory or Silos Estate Vineyard in Berry for a pick-me-up on the drive home.

Southern Highlands

Trek southwest of Sydney for an afternoon of historic or athletic pursuits in the countryside of the Southern Highlands. Cricket fans should set the GPS for Bowral, where they can while away the hours at the International Cricket Hall of Fame. History buffs should try historic Berrima, home of well-preserved 19th-century architecture and Australia’s oldest continuously licensed pub.If you’ve brought your better half along, spend a romantic afternoon in Moss Vale or Mittagong exploring the art galleries, boutiques, craft shops, cafes, and antique showrooms. If surf and sand are in the cards, head to the laid-back seaside style of Avoca to recharge.

Royal National Park

An escape to nature is the obvious antidote to urban life, and nature is in more than ample supply at Royal National Park. The vast stretch of wilderness is the second oldest national park in the world, after Yellowstone in the United States, and has been on the Australian National Heritage List since 2006.You won’t see it all in one day, so choose your highlights wisely. Popular options include Audley, the Aboriginal rock art sites of Jibbon Point, the waterfalls and Eagle Rock of Curracarong, Garie or Wattamolla Beach, and the Insta-famous Figure 8 Pools south of Burning Palms.

Newcastle

“Industrial port town” may not sound like the ideal respite from big city life, but Newcastle has surprises in store. Australia’s second oldest city has been a penal station, a coal town, and a steel city. Today it’s home to myriad heritage attractions and architectural gems, as well as thriving Melbourne-esque coffee and street art scenes.The waterfront is never far away, and indeed many of Newcastle’s highlights revolve around the sea: the Merewether Baths, the ANZAC Memorial Walk, Nobbys Head lighthouse, and superb surf beaches. Head inland for Newcastle’s more recent attractions: hip bars, quirky boutiques, fine dining, art galleries, and underground music.

Kangaroo Valley

Imagine a rural Australia straight out of the movies. You’ll find it in Kangaroo Valley, home of lush rainforest, sparkling rivers, and towering waterfalls that aren’t the result of Hollywood special effects.Biking, hiking, canoeing, and camping are available for those who wish to explore the scenery up close. Those looking for tamer ways to pass the time can stay in the charming town of Kangaroo Valley, which sports a sleepy main street lined with cafes, craft shops, and of course, an excellent pub. A variety of festivals and farmers markets solidify Kangaroo Valley’s position as the perfect provincial destination.

Grand Pacific Drive

NSW’s answer to the Great Ocean Road delivers views so nice, you’ll want to see them twice. The cliff-hugging Grand Pacific Drive starts in Royal National Park, then heads south along the coast to Wollongong, Kiama, and Nowra. Along the way you’ll wind past golden beaches, seaside villages, scenic lookouts, rainforests, and the engineering marvel of Sea Cliff Bridge.Take enough pit stops and you could make a weekend of it, but the full route is easily achievable in a single day. You can retrace your route on the return to Sydney (some say the view gets even better heading north) or make your way back via the Southern Highlands for a change of scenery. Either way, the drive does not disappoint.RELATED: Sydney Running Routes Worth Crossing The Bridge For

Some may call it daggy, but look closer and you’ll notice a subtle art to Will Smith’s most relaxed look in Manhattan this week.

On the surface it’s simply a three-quarter sleeve shirt, sweatpants and sneakers. As always though, it’s all in the finer details. Smith’s sweatpants feature a trouser fly and ridge detailing which gives the standard sweatpant look a touch of athleisure. Either way big Willy hasn’t got an issue with showing off this kind of style.

The tonal grey and white stripe flows onto Smith’s shirt which bears a tribal/tie-dye pattern – think Kanye’s usual fair of wardrobe attire. The 49-year-old actor polished off the look with a black cap and Adidas Boost dad sneakers (naturally) in salmon.

What does this tell us about one of Hollywood’s highest paid actors? You can still dress daggy in public without letting yourself go too much. Spotted by the man himself more than two decades ago.

One small step for man, one giant leap for sci-fi boozehounds; the Silver Screen Bottling Company has teamed up with Star Trek to bring us ‘Ten-Forward’ Vodka, named after the space odyssey’s on-ship bar. And they are (literally) going above and beyond to instil their product with authenticity.

According to the company, a small batch of vodka will soon be sent into the mesosphere using a high-altitude balloon and documented with photo evidence—keep up to date with their Instagram for proof—before being blended in with its terrestrial brethren.

“The two companies behind the new booze promise that a small batch of Ten-Forward Vodka will be sent into the mesosphere using a high-altitude balloon.” @SilverScreenCo @CBShttps://t.co/eJGpMVF9ue

— Phil Cain (@philcaincom) July 23, 2018

“Upon arriving back to Earth,” the website reads, “This grain spirit will be carefully protected and blended into the stocks of Ten-Forward Vodka insuring that a portion of every bottle will contain vodka from space, allowing discerning vodka drinkers to go where no man has gone before. Distilled six times from American grain, and filtered through hardwood charcoal, Ten-Forward Vodka is soft and delicate enough to drink straight or mixed into your favorite cocktail.”

“Expertly crafted in small batches, Ten-Forward Vodka is for the Star Trek fan and the vodka aficionado alike.”

So if you like your Moscow Mules with a side of publicity stunt; the Ten-Forward Vodka will be a fast friend. Like all good vodkas it should slip virtually undetected through your taste-buds, deep in your Martini or tonic of choice, before making a mockery of your inner-ear balance harder than Silver Screen’s accountant did of his company’s carbon offset plan.

Ten-Forward Vodka is currently available for preorder for $30 per bottle and is expected to launch this September.

Denim was once the quintessential workwear of a blue collar generation. Not today. Swiss luxury watchmaker OMEGA have taken the classic fabric and reworked it into their equally classic timepiece, the Railmaster.

Having first been conceived in 1957 for railway labourers thanks to its anti-magnetic properties, the Railmaster was a much favoured piece of its time. Today it has been resurrected in a 40mm stainless steel piece bearing the signature hallmarks of denim on the strap and dial. Contemporary design appointments include a unique conical crown, a blue denim pattern brushed dial, a red ‘Railmaster’ logo inspired by the stitching on jeans and the aforementioned denim NATO strap with contrast white stitching and brown leather loops.

A peak inside the timepiece reveals OMEGA’s proven Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, a magnetically shielded movement which is 15 times more resistant to magnetic interference than the original. Naturally, it is certified at the industry’s highest standard by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).

No official Australian pricing has been provided yet but the OMEGA denim Railmaster with the NATO strap retails for US$4,900 whilst the steel bracelet version retails for US$5,000.
