Sex involves several myths, however, to this day we all talk about each of them as if it were an absolute truth. Fortunately, the internet is there to prevent us from lying, I mean, sometimes some sources found on it are not that real. Therefore, we made a point of commenting on the most common sexual myths that many people still believe.
It is important to demystify each one and make us understand our sexuality better and better. So, check out some of these myths.
Many people still believe this, and this fear makes many women completely nervous the first time. It is widely accepted that sex can hurt the first time, however, this myth is based on the fact that the hymen tears.
Despite this, there is no guarantee that it will be painful, of course, many women do feel discomfort, but the fact of losing their virginity does not always have to do with that.
Nervousness, lack of experience and other factors can very well contribute to a painful first time.
Contrary to popular belief, an intact hymen is not a reliable sign that a woman is still a virgin and vice versa. The hymen can break for non-sexual reasons, such as cycling, for example, and can remain intact even after a woman has had sex.
This is another sex myth, which, by the way, is quite prejudiced. There is no scientific proof for this statement, in addition, if the vagina is very tight during sexual intercourse, this may indicate that sex is not pleasurable.
When a woman is excited, her vagina becomes essentially “looser”, due to increased lubrication and blood flow to the region. This way, vaginal “looseness” does not depend on how many times she has had sex throughout her life.
To this day, many athletes believe that abstaining from sex is an excellent technique for improving their performance in sports. According to popular myths, sex can negatively affect an athlete's performance. This is nothing more than false information, in reality, sex can provide better focus and agility, as well as acting as a painkiller and having a positive impact in general.
We've all heard this at some point, whether from a grandmother, an aunt or even our mothers. For many, although it is disgusting to have sex during this period, many people believe that it is the best way to avoid pregnancy.
Although the female body should not ovulate during menstruation, there may be other factors involved, sperm, for example, may remain in the vaginal tract for a few days and when development arrives, cause pregnancy. Therefore, it is best to be safe.
Many men feel ashamed during sex when they end it early. We know that women take a little longer to reach climax. Science states that men can be too hard on themselves, although popular wisdom and media suggests that less than 30 minutes is too little, the reality is that sexual intercourse lasts an average of 5.4 minutes, according to a study done in 2008.
The fact that your partner has an orgasm is considered by many to be an indication of the man's excellent performance in bed, however, this is not quite the case. The female orgasm is surrounded by mysteries, a considerable percentage of which cannot be achieved no matter what.
Often, other stimuli are necessary, such as erotic toys, oral sex, among others. The reason many women don't have orgasms isn't always because the man is bad in bed, although that can also be a contributing factor.
Another sexual myth spread out there. Female orgasm is more difficult to achieve, therefore, to avoid discomfort with their partner, many choose to fake it. However, men also fake orgasm to end a sexual encounter that is not very pleasant. Of course, it is much more difficult for them to pretend, however, it is something that happens.
These are some of the myths about sex that many people still believe a lot. From now on, you already know how sex works.
