It is a "fair assumption" that Russian President Vladimir Putin was behind US election hacks, secretary of state nominee Rex Tillerson has said. The former CEO of Exxon Mobil told his Senate confirmation hearing the intelligence report on Russian tampering "clearly is troubling". His comments came after Senator Marco Rubio pressed Mr Tillerson to admit Mr Putin's role in the cyber-breach. Mr Tillerson's reported good ties with Mr Putin have alarmed some in the US. The 64-year-old former corporate titan, who has never worked in government, faced tough questions from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday. In a heated exchange, Mr Rubio grilled him on whether intelligence reports about Russia's involvement in  hacks of the US Democratic party  were accurate and if Mr Putin had directed the attacks.

The results of a new study published in the journal Sexual Medicine indicate that …

#1 Two researchers attempted to find a correlation between sexual functioning and exposure to porn.

The researchers conducted a study with 280 male participants. About half of the men they studied were in relationships, and some of the men from the sample watched up to 25 hours of porn per week.


#2 The researchers analyzed data given by the participants, and also showed the men a video of a couple having sex.

The participants rated how turned on they were by the sex tape.


#3 Their findings:

Watching porn increased the participants sexual functioning (ability to hold an erection). But …


#4 Previous studies suggest that watching too much porn desensitizes men and increases depression.

In fact, another researcher, Marieke Dewitte, concluded that the “availability of porn on the Internet has made [sex] less arousing for men.”


#5 Pfaus explains his findings through an analogy.

“Food doesn’t make you fat,” said Pfaus. Meaning, porn, like food, can be healthy in moderation.

The two researchers that co-authored this study were Jim Pfaus, a professor of psychology at Concordia University, and Nicole Prause, a research scientist at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior.

#1  The post. Jason Hewlett is a husband, father, and professional comedian and key speaker. Recently, he shared a personal experience on Facebook, a post about cheating on his wife. His post has been shared over 200,000 times.   “Kind of embarrassed to admit this, but I think I sort of cheated on my wife today. To explain what I mean, I was at Target getting a few manly things, you know – eyebrow tweezers, toenail clippers, beard trimmers, mustache molding waxes, some beef jerky, sardines, trail mix, a loofah – and as I went to pay I saw this woman in line that knocked me out. I thought, ‘Wow, some lucky guy is with her,’ and in a split second I realized it was my wife! You know, it was just out of context to see my spouse at the same store, in the same line, living her life and not knowing she might be at the same place, same time, different car.” #2  Trying to get her attention. “There was a person between us, so I just watched my cute little Love, tried to text

Following calls for more diversity in the Academy Awards, the Oscar-nominated actress suggested black actors did not 'deserve to make the list' this year The 69-year-old, who has been nominated in the Best Actress category for her performance in  45 Years , said the move by some of Hollywood's elite to boycott the awards "is racist to whites". She told  French radio network Europe 1 on Friday morning , "Perhaps the black actors didn't merit being on the finishing line". "One can never really know, but perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list,” added Rampling.
