Over the course of the years, sexual education is no longer a taboo, although people still don’t discuss it enough. There are still lots and lots of sex myths circling about, and they can lead to dire consequences. In today’s sex guide, we will confront and debunk some of the most well-known myths. We strive to provide accurate information and empower our readers to promote a healthier understanding of their sexuality.
Sex burns calories
We’re genuinely sorry to burst this bubble, but sex can’t replace actual exercise. It seems logical for sex, a tiring physical effort, to burn many calories. The sad truth is that thirty minutes of jogging will do you more good than an hour of having sex. It won’t feel better, though.
Full-body orgasm
Yes! Everyone can have a great full-body orgasm! All it takes is a bit of commitment and time, you don’t even need a partner. Many people will go their whole life without ever experiencing it, hence the silly sex myths around it. We even made a sex guide about how to give a full-body orgasm to a man.
First time
There are plenty of misconceptions about “popping the cherry”, lets try to cover most of them. For some silly reason, people think that you can’t get pregnant on your first time, which is obviously not true. Also, it doesn’t have to be painful. With long foreplay and a gentle partner, it’ll be nothing but pleasant. Depending on a person, it can even be blood-less.
STIs are visible
Contrary to the popular belief, you won’t be able to see if your parter is infected. While in some cases you can clearly see a rash in their pubic region, it’s not a rule. A rash can be a simple allergic reaction, but chlamydia is often completely invisible.
Oral sex
You may have heard it a couple of times, hopefully haven’t actually believed that, but the popular take is oral sex doesn’t transfer STIs and STDs. This is a very dangerous misconception. Unprotected oral sex can lead to unpleasant consequences, regardless if your partner finishes or not.
G-spot isn’t real
The existence of the G-spot isa controversial subject. While some studies suggest its existence, others have not found consistent evidence. We are not here to argue, however we believe that a certain area is more sensitive. If you want more tips on how to find it and stimulate it, head over to our sex guide about female orgasms.
Morning-after pills
If you forgot about contraception or the condom broke, you probably will opt out for the next best thing — the day after pill. Don’t worry, the name is misleading in that case. You don’t have to pull out stunts straight from Mission Impossible to get the pill in 24 hours, in reality it can be taken up to five days after the unprotected intercourse!
Size matters
As you may know from our sex guides, pleasing a woman doens’t come down to a penis size. This is one of the oldest sex myths, and one that has a very negative impact on men’s mental health. Not only size doesn’t matter, but also gentlemen that are too-well endowed have more problems finding a comfortable positions for their partners.
HIV
HIV is still a taboo subject, and because of that, plenty of people are uneducated on the matter. First of all, anyone can suffer from HIV, not only gay men. This is why everyone should be careful and never practise unprotected sex with strangers. HIV can be very easily transmitted through most bodily fluids, but not through saliva, tears, or urine. It’s absolutely safe to hug and kiss someone with HIV (unless for some reason you’re both bleeding from your mouth) or even live with them. Of course, you both have to be more careful, but it’s not nearly as dangerous as some people say.
Casual sex
The common misconception is that casual sex doesn’t involve emotions and people that partake in it either don’t respect themselves or the chosen partner. Reasons for involving in the said practise differ, however neither of them is diminishing to the experience. Plenty of people prefer casual sex to a committed relationship because it gives them freedom to be and do what they want and experiment sexually. Getting in tune with your sexuality, your needs, preferences, and boundaries is a vital part of life and causal encounters provide more room to do it. There’s nothing disrespectful about it, as long as both parties consent.
Planned sex
As couples get busy with work, social responsibilities or kids, they sometimes don’t have any time left for bedroom fun. Or they just fall asleep as soon as they go to bed, which may also be considered fun by some, although it’s not the subject of this discussion. Scheduling sex into your busy life can make it seem like a responsibility and therefore significantly lower the enjoyment. On the other hand, it can also enhance the experience by allowing partners both to anticipate and prepare for the encounter. This way you will also have more time to talk about your expectations and desires, effectively making your sex life more interesting.

Unprotected sex
There are a lot of sex myths about unprotected penetration, so this is just the tip of an Iceberg; we will not cover them all. Firstly, even if your partner pulls out on time, there’s a risk that his pre-cum contains sperm. Also, yes, women can get pregnant while on their period. Others believe that underwater intercourse is children and STDs free, while in reality it’s even more dangerous. Water cleans out the vagina’s natural lubricant, which makes it dry and prone to tear. Most of these sex myths origin from guys wanting to try intercourse without protection and talking their girlfriends into it. Unprotected sex, regardless of ejaculation, poses a significant risk of STDs transmission and unintended pregnancy.
Debunking common sex myths and promoting comprehensive sex education is essential for a healthy sex life. Which prompts us to clear one more harmful misconception – sex education does not lead to earlier sexual activity or riskier sexual behaviour. In fact, sex education plays a vital role in promoting sexual health and well-being. We always encourage exploring one’s sexuality as it’s an important part of human life.
