    Apr 28 2026
    Salim Berrada, also known as "the Tinder rapist", has been on trial in France since 18 March 2024. He is accused of raping or sexually assaulting 17 women, after meeting them on the Internet via dating applications. According to victims his MO was always the same: he would invite them to his home for a photo shoot, offer them a drink that they felt compelled to take and which would result in them feeling extremely intoxicated. Although the defendant has denied the charges investigators were able to find traces of drugs, including antihistamines in several of the women. The women then described a sudden change in Salim’s attitude towards them and said he then forced himself on them despite their objections and refusal. The only thing that unites all these women is that they were approached over the Internet Is it an isolated case? So how do you ensure a safe date on Tinder?

  • Why do some people need to sleep more than others?

    Why do some people need to sleep more than others?
    Apr 28 2026
    As the years go by, we're getting less and less sleep. A survey by Chemist4U in 2022 found that Brits get just 6 hours and 10 minutes of sleep per night on average. Economic stress and the overwhelming demands of modern life have been blamed for this, but there’s no real evidence to back that up. Still the fact remains that not getting enough sleep can significantly impact our daily lives, so it’s a source of real frustration. Doesn’t everyone need eight hours then? Does our sleep pattern change as we age? Can someone be naturally inclined to be a morning person or a night owl? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What are the health benefits of using sex toys?
    Apr 28 2026
    We've long known that masturbation can help relieve stress and even alleviate menstrual pain in women, thanks to the release of hormones like endorphins acting as a natural painkiller. It’s also well established that sexual activity is beneficial for the cardiovascular system, as it increases our heart rate and may even contribute to lower blood pressure. But as it turns out, using sex toys can also have some surprisingly positive effects on our health. And of course toys like butt plugs, dildos and vibrators, sex toys can be used with a partner too.Their popularity has been steadily growing year after year, and sex toys are no longer as taboo as they once were. Of course, the extended periods of isolation brought on by Covid-19 lockdowns only sped up the normalisation of sex toy use. Are those health benefits physical or psychological? There are so many types of sex toys out there - how am I supposed to choose among them all? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    How do I know if I'm addicted to sex?
    Apr 27 2026
    Hypersexuality, overactive libido and sex addiction are just a few of many terms used to describe those who simply can’t seem to get enough when it comes to sex. According to UK-Rehab.com, it’s estimated that somewhere between 3% and 6% of adults in the country are addicted to sex. It might be a hot topic these days, but the concept only really surfaced in the late 1970s. The rise of the internet and online pornography is said to have fueled the phenomenon. So what is a sex addict? According to Healthline.com, “A person with sex addiction may significantly alter their life and activities in order to perform sexual acts multiple times a day and are reportedly unable to control their behavior, despite severe negative consequences.” How can you tell the difference between a healthy sexual appetite and a genuine sex addiction? How is sex addiction treated? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What is anticipatory grief?
    Apr 27 2026
    At some point in life, most people experience grief, whether after losing a loved one or at the end of an important relationship. We tend to associate mourning with death. But sometimes grief begins before a person has died. This experience is often referred to as anticipatory or ambiguous loss, a form of grief felt when someone is still physically present but psychologically or cognitively changed. But what exactly does that mean? So what impact can ambiguous loss have on the people going through it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Which foods will help you get a good night's sleep?

    Which foods will help you get a good night's sleep?
    Apr 27 2026
    Here at Do You Really Know, we’ve talked over and over again about the importance of getting good quality sleep. So of course, you don’t want your evening meal to disrupt it, and that’s a cause of uncertainty for many people. Bear in mind that to drift off to sleep, your body temperature needs to gradually drop. Given that digestion tends to raise our body temperature, that poses quite the conundrum. Now, the richer the meal or the heavier the food you eat, the longer it takes to be digested, which can lead to discomfort like reflux, heaviness, or bloating. I’ve often heard that a light dinner is best - is that a good starting point? So what kind of foods should we be aiming for then? What about drinks then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why do we talk about “left” and “right” in politics?

    Why do we talk about “left” and “right” in politics?
    Apr 26 2026
    Today, “left” and “right” are the main labels we use to categorise political views, but their origins go back over two centuries. To understand, we have to go back to the French Revolution in 1789. That spring, France’s King Louis XVI convened a meeting known as the Estates General, bringing together representatives from three groups, or “Estates”: the clergy, the nobility, and the Third Estate, which represented the common people. A few months later, in July, this assembly became the Constituent Assembly. Where did it all begin? Are there other kinds of political oppositions besides left and right?
