Five falsehoods about sex that many people believe: Don’t you either

Sexuality and sex are still topics to which many prejudices are attached. For centuries, sex was a mystery that was rarely discussed publicly. Fortunately, sexuality is now being talked about more than ever. However, this still does not mean that we have gotten rid of all prejudices, stereotypes and taboo topics related to this delicate area of ​​human life.

Losing your virginity

Virginity represents only the current state in which a person has not yet had the first sexual relationship. By losing our virginity, we do not lose a part of ourselves, but gain new experience, acquire new knowledge, skills, learn new forms of communication and interaction, get to know ourselves better and the person we are in a relationship with.

When we stop viewing our first sexual experiences through the prism of losing our virginity and our ‘purity’, we will all be better off in the long run.

Sex during menstruation is a natural contraceptive

We are not safe from unwanted pregnancy even when we are menstruating. The risk of a woman becoming pregnant is very low, but some people may ovulate during their cycle. Given that we know that sperm can remain in the fallopian tubes for several days, this increases the risk of an unwanted pregnancy.

By using a condom, you will provide protection both against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, especially during menstruation.

Masturbation is bad for health

This myth has been talked about for years, so by now most people should know that it is actually untrue. Masturbation is completely healthy and good for immunity and mood. It teaches us how to relate to our own body, how to listen to it and understand it better.

There is only vaginal orgasm

Many, unfortunately, still think that orgasm is exclusively caused by penetration into the vagina and that in fact it is the only orgasm that exists. Some women find it great and love it, but others find it easier to orgasm by stimulating the clitoris. There is no universal recipe for orgasm, every body and desire is individual. The easiest way to reach orgasm is by listening to yourself or your partner.

Sex has a bad effect on sports results

For years, top sportsmen and women were forbidden from having sex before important events and challenges, but science has not yet found a link between sex and poorer sports results. If a person is under a lot of stress before an important event, sex can help them relax and rest. However, there are also those for whom tension is a blockage, so they have no desire for sex on those days.
