It’s official: Actresses are getting tired of doing “the orgasm face.”

The Affair star Ruth Wilson lamented that she’s constantly required to make “that face” onscreen, telling Net-A-Porter‘s The Edit last week, “I kept insisting, ‘Why have I always got to do the orgasm face? There should be a male orgasm face. Why is it always the woman who’s orgasming?'”

Excuse us, but we may have just heard the sound of millions of women jumping for joy!
It might seem too good to be true, but listen up: the Breast Tissue Screening Bra may be the next breakthrough in the battle against breast cancer. This sports bra-like garment detects early signs of cancer by measuring changes in cell temperature and breast tissue.
