6 Sex Myths Debunked

Sex advice - sex myths debunked

When it comes to sex, there are plenty of sex myths that go along with it. Save for the ridiculous ones like douching with Coke will keep you from getting pregnant, there are some myths out there that are believed by most.

So here, now, are 6 common sex myths that you likely believe.

Sex myths debunked

1- Women know what they want in bed

While there are plenty of women who think they know what they want in the sack, more often than not, women don’t masturbate or explore their bodies and minds enough to really know.

A friend of mine thought she wanted to make sweet, soft love with her boyfriend but couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t orgasm when they did. So I gave him a talking to and told him what to do to her instead and she was gushing liquid like a porn star.

What did she want? She wanted him to have sex with her brain and then ravish her body with force. So he talked dirty to her, then he forced her onto the bed by her hair and pushed her legs apart before he gave it to her doggy style. Needless to say, she’s since changed her tune about the kind of sex she likes.

The point is that while women claim that they know what they want in bed, chances are they could use a lesson or two in the fine art of sexual satisfaction.

2- Condoms protect you from STDs

When put on correctly, a condom can prevent some very dangerous STDs, some that aren’t curable, but there are sexually transmitted infections that no condom can prevent.

Genital herpes and warts are two of those very things. If you partner has a herpes outbreak along their pubic area, a condom isn’t going to stop your pubic area from rubbing against theirs and won’t prevent you from getting the infection.

And you know what? Herpes is for life, baby. So while condoms are phenomenal for protecting most STDs, don’t mistakenly think that you’re scot-free when you use one.

3- Guys who like anal touching have gay tendencies

Too often, both men and women write me or confide in me that they or their boyfriends like having their anal region stimulated. Of course men do; that’s one of their major erogenous zones.

Not only is the rim of the anus incredibly sensitive, but the male g-spot is also located inside the anal cavity. And no, if a man likes having his anus stimulated that doesn’t mean that he’s one finger away from giving a rim job to another guy. Get a grip.

4- Oysters are aphrodisiacs

Perhaps when humans were deficient in so many things, oysters may have been considered an aphrodisiac because they provided a kick to their libido, but nowadays, we are well aware of what we need to do to maintain a healthy lifestyle that we know that the reason that oysters were considered aphrodisiacs because of their high zinc content.

Actually, there are no aphrodisiacs when it comes to things you ingest. Your greatest aphrodisiac is your brain and the sexual fantasies that come with (pun intended).

5- Sperm dies the instant it hits air

I always thought this to be true because sperm are a fickle bunch and they can barely get to the egg even when they’re shot directly at it, so it’s just natural to assume that they would drop dead the moment they hit the bacteria-laden air.

But it is not so. In fact, if sperm is outside the vagina, those little bastards can make their way inside her and find the egg and impregnate it with it’s X or Y goodness.

And although the chances of it actually happening are pretty low, it can happen, so be careful where that load goes because it may just turn into a baby if you’re not careful.

6- Men want sex more than women

I can’t tell you how often I hear men and women say this nonsense. For every woman who never wants sex, there is a man out there who also isn’t incredibly interested. And for every man out there who nurses a constant hard-on, there is a woman out there who’s clitoris is always standing at attention.

The point is that men and women are more alike than they are different, especially when it comes to sex, so no, men don’t want it more than women do, but perhaps they may act out more.
