| First-of-its kind 'gay' condom to hit Indian markets soon, after NACO raises concern about rising HIV infections among homosexuals

| Criticism comes in wake of France's decision to expel illegal Roma immigrants and destroy hundreds of their encampments
The European Union was today accused of "turning a blind eye" as countries across Europe carried out a wave of expulsions and introduced new legislation targeting the Roma.
Human rights groups criticised the EU for failing to address the real issues driving Europe's largest ethnic minority to migrate in the first place and for choosing not to upbraid countries for breaking both domestic and EU laws in their treatment of them.
The criticism came after France announced it would round up and expel illegal Roma immigrants and destroy hundreds of their encampments.
Elsewhere, it emerged that the city of Copenhagen had ... |

| BBC sports presenter resented tone of Sunday Times' critic AA Gill's review of her new show Britain by Bike and his editor's defence
The BBC presenter Clare Balding is embroiled in a furious row over a newspaper columnist's "homophobic" remarks about her sexuality.

| Increasing pressure on African men to discuss gender equality could lessen the incentive to use rape as a war weapon, according to new research from Uganda
The incentive to use rape as a weapon of war in Africa would be less if more was done to ensure men were involved in discussions about gender equality, claims the director of a human rights project in Uganda.
In an interview with Christian Aid , Chris Dolan, director of the Refugee Law Project , based at Makerere University, in Kampala, Uganda, said: "If gender equality were a reality, the incentive to use rape of men and women as a weapon of war would be reduced. Unfortunately much of the gender work done to date has presented 'gender' as essentially a discussion about women's rights, ... |

| Your penis is connected to your heart, but unconscious processes are sometimes at work
I'm married to a wonderful woman but I'm also involved with a man (not my first male lover). At first the sex with him was incredibly exciting, while sex with my wife (although I love her dearly) was simply a chore. Eventually, my wife discovered my affair, and was surprisingly accepting.

I don't want to end the affair because I love him too, but I'd like to understand why the situation has switched, and if you think I could ever equally enjoy sex with both.
Some people are capable of loving more than one person at the same time, and of having satisfying sex ... |
