New Indian 'sex start-ups' challenge old taboos (FRANCE 24)

The couple behind a new start-up using adult toys and cheeky adverts to challenge long-held taboos say they want to take the "shame, guilt and fear" out of ...

"There are many Indias when it comes to sexual awareness. "Diwali is coming and so should you! "The bedroom in India for a lot of people is one of the few safe spaces that is untouched," he explains, describing it as a couple's "oasis". Requesting anonymity, one 32-year-old professional, says of the shift in attitudes: "It's exciting that this is finally happening in India. The conversation around sex is really changing." The lack of dialogue around sex can lead to misinformation and abuse, Aiyappa warns, adding that even efforts to introduce a broader sex education curriculum in schools have faced a backlash. Using a targeted social media campaign, they say they are trying to reframe the conversation around sex away from often "sleazy" portrayals in Bollywood movies.

"There are many Indias when it comes to sexual awareness. "Diwali is coming and so should you! "The bedroom in India for a lot of people is one of the few safe spaces that is untouched," he explains, describing it as a couple's "oasis". Requesting anonymity, one 32-year-old professional, says of the shift in attitudes: "It's exciting that this is finally happening in India. The conversation around sex is really changing." A haul of vibrators and dildos was seized by customs last year -- the result of a boom in online orders during pandemic lockdowns -- because Indian law still bans the import of "toys that resemble human body parts". Smartphone proliferation and easy access to modern Indian dramas such as Netflix hit Lust Stories are also tackling taboo subjects like same-sex relationships and casual dating, helping to normalise conversations about intimacy

Serie A, probable line-ups: Udinese vs. Salernitana - Football Italia (Football Italia)

Udinese and Salernitana meet at the Dacia Arena in a rearranged fixture that should have been played in December.

Salernitana won their last game at Sampdoria, but the last time they won two games in a row in Serie A was in 1999. Salernitana are desperate for the three points, but still have a slight chance to survive with two games in hand, including this one. The Friulani are without Roberto Pereyra and Beto (injured) and Nahuel Molina (suspended). Doubts in midfield with Lazar Samardzic favourite over Arslan. Ignacio Pussetto or Isaac Success in attack.

Everton line-ups as Yerry Mina and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ... (Liverpool Echo)

Everton team news and starting line-up selections for the visit of Leicester City to Goodison Park in the Premier League.

At the back, there is more room for improvement and Mina is the quickest route to that. Like I've already stated, the on-loan Dutchman must wait his turn but after giving him a timely breather against the Red Devils, I'd restore Abdoulaye Doucoure to supplement both Fabian Delph and Allan in the engine room. While in midfield, Fabian Delph should be given the nod alongside Allan, with Alex Iwobi operating in front of them. Fabian Delph and Allan hold on to their spots as does Vitaliy Mykolenko, who is growing into his role impressively. But with question marks over his fitness and with other options available, I would not start him if there is any doubt over his condition. I would give him and Godfrey an opportunity to see if they can form a partnership.
