Cameron Diaz: Women who don't want children fear being shunned

Women fear being shunned if they say they do not want children, Cameron Diaz has said.

The 36-year-old Hollywood actress said there were already enough people living on the planet.

But she also said she was not ruling out having children herself.

Diaz told Cosmopolitan magazine: “I think women are afraid to say that they don’t want children because they’re going to get shunned.

“But I think that’s changing too now. I have more girlfriends who don’t have kids than those that do.

“And honestly? We don’t need any more kids. We have plenty of people on this planet.”

On whether she wants children of her own, Diaz said: “I never say never. I don’t know what’s going to happen.

“I could end up adopting half a dozen kids, or I could end up being the next ’octomum’.”

Diaz also praised Channel 4’s 'The Sex Education Show', which was found last month by regulator Ofcom not to have breached broadcasting rules.

The pre-watershed programme is primarily aimed at young people, covering topics such as pornography, erectile dysfunction and contraception.

Diaz said: “I was in England recently and I caught this programme... The whole lot was on TV. It was amazing. And I was, like, that’s what we need to do.

“We need to inform kids that it’s not real for everyone to look a certain way...

“Boys expect girls to look like what they see, and vice versa. We’re so inundated with images of what we should look like.”

She continued: “I think there should be a disclaimer the same way there is on a pack of smokes – these people do not really look this way.”

Speaking about potential boyfriends, she added: “What’s changed from 10 years ago is that now I want a man who knows who he is.

“Someone who understands himself, has already dealt with his issues and who can say: ’I see where I’ve been foolish before and I’m not going to be like that again’.”

The full interview appears in the July issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, on sale tomorrow.

See, works both ways. You clicked it, you read it, you commented on it. Can't really complain now can you? ;)

I only read the first couple of lines because the headline tricked me into thinking it was a serious article. THen I realised it was just celebrity bollocks, so I stopped reading straight away and wrote my message instead :)

I found the short interesting, she reminds us that the planet is over populated, that appearances can be deceptive, and that sexual relationships are too often stupidly childish. If more people digested and acted on those things, the world would be a much better place.

She really is wonderful, isn't she?

I'm so glad the "Independent" devotes space to letting us know what to think about, led by Cameron Diaz.
Diaz make me pull on it

Manhood Stretching Vs HealthyED blue pills
I am informed that men around the world use these techniques, although the team at HealthyED has no evidence to prove any of these exercises work. That?s not to say following a stretching regime does give you extra inches. We do know for sure that our HealthyED pills containing Butea Superba do not claim to make your penis actually grow when not hard, but it does enable more blood to flow into your manhood during erection and therefore your third leg may well be bigger. We do not suggest that when you do not have a ?bona? HealthyED will give you extra length. Quite simply HealthyEd enables men to achieve a ?hard on? that is stronger and harder than previously experienced.
So stretch your third leg or buy HealthyED? You choose.
However, if you want to try these exercises, they are FREE and you can do so should you wish- Do not come crying to us if you have no success!
Some basic free manhood enlargement exercises are outlined below.
1. TOWEL STRETCH: This can be combined with other methods but is usually done separately. What this entails is getting some hot water and soaking a towel in it. Wrap the towel around your dick for a good few minutes until relaxed. This increases blood flow, helping to expand the blood vessels whilst stretching. Once done either begin jelqing or stretching. To stretch, hold the head and pull forward, then down, then left and right, repeating for up to 10 minutes.
2. CLOCKWORK EXTENSION: Hold your manhood firmly in your fist and stretch it as far as it goes downwards, then keeping it stretched, do a complete 360, ending up back at the same point. Think of holding a bicycle wheel whilst it is spinning round and replicate this with your floppy friend.
3. BENDING: For this technique you need a semi hard on. You then need to stretch it behind the scrotum and literally sit on it for about 5 minutes. Repeat several times, although if it hurts stop the exercise.
It is important, as with any other workout that you don?t overdo it and remain relaxed throughout. Keep form and go steady. Don?t just pull your little man in a crazy fashion until it hurts.
So to recap- Spend 30 minutes a day yanking yourself into oblivion or take a couple of HealthyED pills when you get up each morning. The physical approach is unproven, whereas HealthyED is supported by successful clinical trials showing 84% of all men who take the herb improve their love lives. I think I will stick with www.healthyed.co.uk
