Two Straight “Bachelorette” Contestants Fall In Love, Confess To Hooking Up In The Shower

Romance is in the air on this season of The Bachelorette. The popular ABC reality show just took a super gay turn.

This season’s lady, Kaitlyn Bristowe, thought she had found a potential match. She gave her first one-on-one rose to Clint Arlis. But her heart was quickly broken when he declared his love for another man… His fellow contestant JJ Lane.

Gasp!

“It’s absolutely insane,” Arlis, who always thought of himself as straight, said during his on-camera interview before dropping the bomb to Bristowe. “I never thought that I’d meet somebody like that. Falling in love with a man never crossed my mind.”

There’s a first time for everything, right?

Arlis then went on to explain that he and Lane had “grown very close to each other in the shower.”

Unfortunately, those scenes were not captured by the camera crew, so we’ll just have to take his word on it.

When Arlis sat down with Bristowe to break the news, he told her he was “100 percent” in love with Lane, adding that she’s “not the right girl for me.”

But all hope is not lost for Bristowe. She still has 18 other guys to choose from.

As for the two gents, here’s wishing them both a long and happily ever after.

WATCH: What It Was Like in Ireland the Moment They Said YES to Equality

You’ve likely heard the news that Ireland made history this past weekend by becoming the first country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage by (a landslide) popular vote. But what you might not have seen beyond the headlines and articles is just how much the marriage referendum captured the attention and passion of an entire country.

I traveled to Ireland with Human Rights Campaign last week because I knew the vote wasn’t just going to be a historic moment for Ireland, it was going to be a historic moment for the world. Homosexuality was decriminalized in Ireland just over 20 years ago. The fact that Ireland has evolved to become a more welcoming, respectful, and inclusive country since then gives me hope for a future where all countries will offer equal rights to all citizens. Ireland shows that countries and people can move to the right side of history. And it’s happening faster than you might expect.

I filmed my whole experience in Ireland alongside my friend Riyadh K, one of the leading voices for young people in the Yes Equality campaign. We tried to capture the emotion, magic, and love in the air for this moment that will forever go down in the history books. We hope this video will be a small time capsule for how it felt to be in Ireland when the country ushered in a new era of equality and inspired the rest of the world.

Caffeine Plus Five Breakfast Foods That Science Says Will Turn You Into A Love Machine

Great news for caffeine addicts. Keep those pots of coffee brewing because your daily dose of java is making your penis a magic wonder wand. At least according to a new study from the University of Texas.

4,000 men participated in the study, which measured how coffee consumption affected their bedroom performance.

Researchers observed that guys who drank two cups of coffee per day were 42 percent less likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction. Three cup drinkers were 39 percent less likely to experience ED.

Scroll down for five other breakfast foods of erectile champions…

1. Eggs

According to Men’s Health, eggs are packed with vitamins B6 and B5, believed to help balance hormone levels and ease stress, and are important for a healthy libido.

2. Pink grapefruits

Lycopene is a phytonutrient that is good for circulation, as well as improving sexual issues in men. It is found in deep red fruits like pink grapefruits and tomatoes.

3. Watermelon

A study published in the journal Urology last year found that watermelon juice acts as a natural treatment for erectile dysfunction. Citrulline is an amino acid found in high concentrations of watermelon improving blood flow to the penis.

4. Lox

According to sexologist Yvonne K. Fulbright, PhD, the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA found in salmon can help to raise the dopamine levels in the brain that trigger arousal.

5. Oatmeal

Not only does eating oatmeal increase testosterone levels, giving an added boost to a man’s sex drive, but it contains L-arginine, an amino acid that helps relax muscles around blood vessels in the penis, Men’s Health reports.

Good thing breakfast is now served all day long…
