THERE is one thing that should always remain private - and that's a boys' group chat.
If you've ever caught a glimpse of what's been said between a bunch of chest-thumping lads about their sexual exploits, you'll know the majority is bulls***.

Filled with more lies and exaggerations than you could shake a stick at, they'd be thrown in the dog house by their girlfriend if they dared sneak a peek - just as Love Island's Dejon Noel-Williams discovered this week.
He looked like a petrified deer caught in headlights when told his territorial love interest Meg had watched his flirty date with bombshell Malisha and accused him of having "disrespected, violated and embarrassed" her.
It got me thinking during the latest racy challenge, Got The Receipts, about how the Love Islanders' throwaway claims about their sexual escapades could be having a damaging impact on the ITV2 show's younger audience.
Last night we heard naughty confessions from Harry having an orgy with an entire football team, to Remell enjoying 20 threesomes and sleeping with five women in one night.
Just like what happens in a boys' chat, it's entirely plausible these lads embellished their sex life history having got carried away talking to producers to get on the show.
But unlike in a boys' chat, these exploits have been aired on telly - setting unrealistic and dangerous standards for the young boys and girls watching.
With Love Island's most engaged audience aged between 16-24, it's worrisome that they are being led to believe it's normal for a group of 20-somethings to have engaged in a number of promiscuous encounters - from orgies to joining the mile-high club.
Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, who stars as a sex and relationship expert on E4's Celebs Go Dating, warns that airing these kinds of sexually explicit conversations can "do more harm than good".
She told The Sun: "As a certified sexologist and professor, I am an advocate for sex positivity, and openly communicating about sex.
"I often talk about group sex and casual sex in an educational context.

"However, it is important to acknowledge that conversations portrayed on TV that sensationalise promiscuous behaviours can be extremely damaging to young girls in our modern society.
"This is because it is talked about outside of comprehensive sex education, healthy sex context, and without proper communication and discourse around consent, sexual self-esteem and sexual agency this sort of conversation can do more harm than good."
It's important to note that reactions to the Love Islanders' racy revelations were met with contrasting views - depending on the gender of those involved.
Despite having claimed to have enjoyed a group orgy with a female football team, Harry described Helena as a "good time girl" after confessing to having a threesome.
The most shocking sex confessions of the series
THE sex confessions of the 2025 summer Love Islanders so far... Harry had an orgy with an entire women's football team
Helena admitted she had a threesome with two men
Remell confessed the most people he's slept with in a night is five and he's had 20 threesomes
Shea romped with a 50-year-old when he was 19
Yasmin offers Dejon a threesome with her and Toni
Yasmin boasted about affairs and breaking up relationships
As she quite rightly pointed out, it's Harry who turns every one of their conversations sexual, while complaining he's not sure if there's more to their relationship than just that.
The double standard led fans to label him a "misogynistic hypocrite" and call for his removal from the show.
Meanwhile Yasmin was slammed for downplaying Shea's shock admission that he'd slept with a 50-year-old woman when he was 19, describing him as "troublesome".
Shakria, who was kissed (out of the blue) by Blu was slated by Harry, who retaliated by sneaking out of the bedroom and taking Helena to the Hideaway for a night of passion.
It may be 2025, but the striking difference between the reaction depending on whether it was a male or female involved stands out.
Back in the early days of Love Island, viewers watched stars have sex on top of the covers, but now it's much more toned down.
If there is any hanky panky going on between the sheets, it's merely insinuated with a close up of the couple's interlinked feet in bed or the wobble of items on a bedside cabinet.
It therefore seems odd to have claims of wild sex scenarios aired as if they were undoubtedly true.
I've often complained the over-censoring of Love Island's most recent series has taken the spice out of the show.
But the juxtaposition of putting welfare first by ditching safe sex scenes only to replace it with more obscene and raunchy chat about it seems at odds.
