Concerns are growing amongst the group dubbed ‘new men’, that their partners have rumbled their inner Neanderthal nature.

Psychologists have defined this internal world as their sub-conscious ‘Benny Hill’. Now women have rumbled their little game and are not happy about it. Awkward questions have been raised.

I’ve been wearing my speedos for 72 hours.’
