Sex myths - do you know them when you hear them?
I got an interesting article in my email inbox a few days ago. After reading the Biggest Sex Myths - Exposed! I was left wondering - people really believe all of this? Eh, apparently they do I suppose.
The first myth that people believe is that you cannot get pregnant if you have sex standing up. Hrm. Well, I guess it’s a good thing that the people that believe this have a decent grasp of what gravity is. Too bad they didn’t stick around for the rest of that lecture. Or the sex ed lecture. Pity. And to think, these people are probably reproducing!
The second myth is that the pull-out method works. Okay, okay, I won’t make hardcore fun of these people because maybe they don’t really know how the body works….or even how babies are really made. Maybe they run from storks when they see them coming. I know I do.
Myth number three is that douching is the best way to “clean the pipes.” All it took was me reading about homemade solutions of “usually solutions of water, vinegar, baking soda, or iodine” to get me skipping ahead to the next myth. (Eww!)
Number four is that you can only get herpes when your partner has an outbreak. Surprise, herpes is the gift that keeps on giving all year round! Honestly though, I can see how people might think this one. I mean, there might actually be some logic to this train of thought.
Myth number five is that if you are aroused you shouldn’t need lubricant. To that I say, hello! gay men! Then I realized that this article is targeted to women. Straight women apparently, considering the mention of condoms.
The sixth myth is that you can become addicted to your vibrator. I say they could be wrong on this being a myth. I mean, if you have a really bad partner, you just might become addicted to it. Just saying.
Myth number seven is that bigger is better. If people don’t know that all that matters is that their partner knows how to use what they’ve got, then maybe they shouldn’t be scrumping each other. And as I said before, these people are probably reproducing. Right now. While wearing a Dorito’s-stained t-shirt.
Myth number eight is that penetration = orgasm. No, penetration = babies more often.
That’s it. I know, you’re sad that there were only eight. I admit I am a bit shocked that these were as much of a myth that they warranted an entire article on the subject. You know what it made me think of - have you seen the opening bit of the movie Idiocracy? Yes, that’s right the stupid people are the only ones breeding….scary.
