Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
Real Talk
I have had my fair share of sexual partners, and I’ve also had many conversations with men and women about their experiences in the bedroom. For the life of me, I can’t figure out when people became so ignorant towards sex. Where did all of these crazy claims come from, and why in the world are people believing them?
8 Common Sex Myths – Dubunked
Last week, I was hanging out with my younger cousin, and she told me that she is only having anal sex before marriage because she wants to stay a virgin. That was the last straw for me! “How could she be so naïve?” I thought to myself. I thought about her comment for a while, and then I decided to take it upon myself to educate the world about sex and debunk these common myths.
1) Penis Size Matters
Seriously, guys. Enough already. I am so tired of hearing every guy I meet talk about the size of his manhood. I know, I know, you all think bigger is better, but when it comes to sexual pleasure, size is really not that big of a deal!
Think of it this way: there are only about 3-inches of nerve endings inside the vagina, so as long as your penis is measuring 3-inches, you’re in the clear. The rest of the vaginal canal is like dead space – there’s no feeling whatsoever.
If you’re really that worried about the size of your business, try different positions that allow for deeper penetration. Remember guys: it’s not the size of your penis that makes her crave you, it’s what you do with it.
2) More Cum = Stronger Orgasm
Nope. Not even a little true.
The amount of ejaculate released during intercourse has nothing to do with how pleasurable the sex was. Lots of things are dependent upon the amount of semen a guy releases, including alcohol consumption, diet, lifestyle, and time between orgasms.
3) Sex is a Great Workout
Meh, not really. On average, sex only burns about 20 calories. A trip to the gym is WAY more beneficial if you’re looking to drop a few pounds, but a roll in the sack is just so much more fun.
Even though sex may not be the best for burning calories, it has many other undeniable health benefits, and can even prevent heart disease and extend life-spans!
Best bet: if you skipped the gym today, you should probably sex it up tonight. You know, just to be safe.
4) Sex Always Hurts the Girl the First Time
In many cases, having sex for the first time can be a bit uncomfortable. But that’s not always the case. In fact, there are many factors that contribute to sexual pain, including:
- Relaxation: If the girl isn’t relaxed enough, or is feeling pressured or rushed by her partner, she may experience some discomfort during sex.
- Dryness: Lube is everyone’s best friend. Dryness occurs for lots of reasons – but usually, it has something to do with a lack of arousal or the specific stage of her menstrual cycle.
- Experience: Or, the lack thereof. When a girl is having sex for the first time with an inexperienced partner, things can get pretty uncomfortable. With sex, practice makes perfect and it only gets better with time. It’s all about finding the rhythm that works for you.
5) Guys Who Like Anal Sex Are Secretly Gay
Surely you’ve heard tons of guys refer to themselves as “ass men,” right? I know I have. Guys who like anal sex are definitely not secretly gay, they just enjoy their girl’s booty and like exploring their sexual desires.
Anal sex is all about preferences – for a guy who is all about that bass, anal sex is a dream come true. For a girl who is quite proud of her curves, having a guy worship her backside could be quite the turn on. It’s a win-win situation, and nobody is secretly gay because of it!
Plus, anal sex is taboo and kinky. Some people are really into the idea of exploring certain topics in the bedroom that are viewed as “off limits” by others. Why? Because it’s hot. It’s naughty. It’s sexy.
6) "Double Bagging" Is Better for Preventing Pregnancy
While no form of contraception is 100% effective against pregnancy (only abstinence is), wearing two condoms (AKA, Double Bagging) does exactly the opposite of what you were hoping for.
I’m all about safety, and I can really appreciate a guy who is too, but this is just obnoxious. Not only does Double Bagging greatly reduce the guy’s pleasure during sex, but the friction of the condoms rubbing against each other causes them to break.
Stick with one condom, and you’re golden. If you’re really worried, opt for a few drops of spermicidal lubricant. You’re talking box-of-fort-knox style protection at a price you can afford.
7) Big Feet = Big…
Ladies, I know you’ve been eyeing that hottie with the size 14 shoe, secretly wondering what he’s hiding under those jeans. I hate to burst your bubble, but… There is absolutely NO correlation between a man’s foot size and the size of his penis.
The same concept applies to fingers, feet, arms, legs, etc. There is no way to tell a man’s penis size without taking a peek for yourself. So, go ahead. Peek away.
8) Faking the Big "O" is a Girl Thing
True, lots of women fake orgasms. But, lots of guys fake orgasms too. Why? Well, that’s anyone’s guess, but some of the main reasons include:
- To get it over with – Guys get tired too.
- To please his partner – If she isn’t feeling it, it’s pretty cruel to keep on keepin’ on.
- To hold onto his pride – Common practice for guys with erectile dysfunction.
Guys are also pretty good at faking it too! It’s pretty easy to fake the noises and the notorious “O” face, and guys have mastered the art. There’s no harm in faking it every now and then, but if it becomes a habit, this is something that should be shared with your partner.
Other Sex Myths?
There are more myths about sex than I can count, but I just wanted to share a few of the most common ones I often hear on GAG, and also from friends. What are some of the most common sex myths your friends believe? Did you believe any myths about sex only to later learn the truth? Tell me in the comments!
What Girls & Guys Said
16 29Gotta call bullshit on #8. Guys have mastered the art of faking orgasms? Total bullshit...
For every guy who actually fakes an orgasm there are probably at least a 1,000 women who do it. Plus, it's pretty tricky faking the whole semen thing. Think about it.
Faking the Big "O" is a most definitely a girl thing.
The rest is reasonably accurate, by the way.
Just because you cum doesn't mean you orgasmed. This goes for both men and women, as far as I'm aware. The body will react to physical stimuli to a certain point, regardless of focus. However, orgasming is preferable, since it releases those endorphins and leave you feeling sated and happy.
What does that have to do with faking an orgasm?
@Tirana Orgasm = cum, cum = orgasm.
You're way wrong on 2 or 3 things and not sure how you know anything about a man's orgasm being a woman. On another one or two you are just wrong. I had a hard time reading the rest once I saw the insanity of the beginning.
Mind clarifying where she's gone wrong? She can easily ask her male friends/partners about their orgasms.
I had sex with quite a few women. I am a bit over 7 inches. Some going deep was painful some not but every single girls I had sex with would never want a 3 inch dick man. The amount of my cum is a DIRECT indicator of my pleasure and my orgasm. When she grew a penis or where she found that information is beyond me. LOTS of men do not fake orgasms and guess what? We are not so good at faking orgasms because we jizz. I have never faked one and talk sex with all my friends. Yes maybe some have at one point but lots? No way. Also who the fuck double bags? To even bring that up is ludicrous but hey with the questions on here whatever. Homophobe guys or teabagger females that hate everyone but wasps will say guys who like anal sex are gay. I have never heard that but only have seen people type it online. My last point is the last time I burned only 20 calories on sex is when I was 14 and jumped up on the bed and came from the thought of having sex. Maybe 92 year old people burn 20 calories.
I'll just go on to say that sex burns way more than 20 calories on average... that would be like 3 hip thrusts lol
You can burn closer to 200 calories every 30 thirty minutes just for sex and that's not counting kissing, oral and countless actions and motions
