sexual knowledge

Translated from the Greek language, the word "myth" is translated as "fairy tale, legend, story" - there are a lot of them in various areas of life. And sex is no exception. We present 19 of the greatest myths about sex that are best forgotten.

1. His nose is big, which means his penis should be big too. Alas, it is not. The size of the nose has nothing to do with the size of the penis, as doctors say.

2. The vagina becomes wide after the baby is born. The female vagina during childbirth is able to stretch about 10 times. But soon after that, it shrinks back to its original shape, this happens faster due to pelvic floor training. The vagina is not capable of losing elasticity and narrowness.

3. Posture affects the sex of the unborn child. The "rider" position helps to conceive a boy, and the "doggy style" - a girl. Do you seriously believe this? We hope not, because this myth is an absolute absurdity. The sex of the unborn child is determined only by the sperm with which chromosome (X or Y) will fertilize the egg.

4. While bathing in the bath, you can get pregnant. At elevated temperatures, spermatozoa become weaker, but theoretically able to reach the goal.

5. A man only has a certain and finite amount of sperm. Presumably their reserve is exhausted after 5000 ejaculations. But he is constantly recovering. New spermatozoa are produced at 70, 80 and even 90 years of age.

6. Two condoms hold better and double the protection against pregnancy even when one breaks. This sounds logical, but the situation is completely different: condoms can quickly become unusable from friction. In addition, sex brings less pleasure.

7. Men cheat most often, not women. Not necessary. In fact, men have more sex with other women, but the representatives of the sex willingly flirt, hug and kiss with strangers. Where does the deception begin?

8. Venereal diseases are recognized only by itching and burning. It would not be so bad, but in reality, genital herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhea are not expressed by external symptoms.

9. Sperm can change the taste after certain foods. We all remember the scene from the Sex and the City series in which Samantha finds her lover's sperm disgusting during oral sex. And even a change in diet does not help improve the taste of ejaculate. Because until now it has not been scientifically proven that, for example, sprouted wheat has a positive effect on small sprinters.

10. If the hymen is damaged, then only from sex. No, this is not true: the delicate membrane near the entrance to the vagina can be damaged by masturbation and the insertion of a tampon.

11. Only women fake orgasms. Ha! When he is not in the mood or lacks strength, he ends the intercourse with a little lie. For example, in Australia, as many as 23% of men pretend that they have reached orgasm.

12. It always hurts the first time. Feelings largely depend on hydration, arousal and the partner's actions.

13. Too much masturbation leads to impotence. It is not the frequency of self-satisfaction that affects erection, but psychological problems. They almost always cause the penis to fail to erect.

14. Big penis - brighter feeling. Quite the opposite: a large penis often causes pain rather than pleasure.

15. Creams can increase the breasts, and small weights can lengthen the penis. Alas, this is just a publicity stunt.

16. Porn films are made only for men. Only partly true. There are special films for women, but they are of course a little less.

17. During pregnancy, you can not protect yourself. The likelihood of re-conception is very small - only 10 cases are known worldwide. It's easier to win the lottery than to get pregnant again while pregnant. But such a possibility is not excluded.

18. The foreskin reduces the sensation during sex. In fact, an uncircumcised man feels even more, because the foreskin itself is an erogenous zone.

19. Women don't ejaculate during orgasm. It is a myth. Women are able to secrete a milky or clear secret, but this does not happen to everyone and not with every sexual intercourse.
