Myth about sex #1: She can't get pregnant during menstruation
In principle, a woman can get pregnant only one day a month, but because sperms live for up to five days, there is no guarantee that she won’t get pregnant during menstruation.
Myth about sex #2: Men can't experience multiple orgasms
Even though this is mostly female territory (approximately 30% of women experience it), there are some lucky men who have reported about multiple orgasms without losing an erection.
Myth about sex #3: The average penis is 6 inches long
An average penis is just over 5 inches (13 centimetres) long and a dormant penis as much as 3 and a half inches (9 centimetres).
Myth about sex #4: Women lose interest in sex after menopause
Menopause does not affect the ability to have an orgasm, to have an orgasmic experience or the female libido. The only reason why a woman no longer wants sex during menopause is because the intercourse has become a routine.
Myth about sex #5: There is no G-spot
Dr. Ruth Westheimer believes that the G-spot does not exist, but it definitely does exist. It is situated on the upper wall of the vagina, between the entrance into the vagina and the cervix.
Myth about sex #6: Men are more horny than women
Researches prove time and time again that men and women have the same or very similar sexual drive. If you feel yours is greater than that of your partner, you are not trying hard enough to make your partner feel special – this is not connected to the basic sexual drive.
Myth about sex #7: The term ''blue balls'' was made up by men
There is a name for the ''blue balls'' phenomenon: vasocongestion, and it is very real. When you are aroused, your genitals grow very large and get smaller again after the orgasm. If you do not ejaculate, a feeling of great discomfort may follow, but it is not dangerous.
Myth about sex #8: Women do not ejaculate
They can if you stimulate their G-spot and thus release a watery liquid from her bladder. Until the 1950s these women were diagnosed with incontinence and were suggested to have an operation to have it ''fixed''.
Myth about sex #9: Two condoms are better than one
Using two condoms is actually more dangerous because the condoms are rubbing against one another and the possibility of tearing is greater.
Myth about sex #10: Your parents do not have sex anymore
They did have it and probably still do. Do not believe the rumors that you have less intercourse as the years go by. If you use imagination in your bedroom and you make your partner feel special, a healthy libido will last your entire life.
