5 myths about sex you need to stop believing
The subject of sex has been a taboo for so long that people made up myriads of myths and fantasies about it. Even now, not everyone can talk about intimacy without hesitation, so all these misbeliefs that have nothing to do with reality continue to exist in the minds of many people.
Here are the 5 most common myths that need to go away:
1. Size matters
9 out of 10 women believe that the size of the penis does not play a decisive role. Much more important, in their opinion, is your sexual stamina. In a study done by American gynecologist and sexologist William Masters, which was conducted among women, it was revealed that the important thing is not the size but the capability to pleasure and satisfy. According to research conducted by scientist Brian Mautz, the most attractive penis size was found to be 13 + cm (the average length of the penis among Europeans). As you can see, for the ladies the length of the penis is not that important. The same can't be said for men themselves though. According to surveys, the size of a manhood plays a key role in shaping the self-esteem of its owner.
2. Women don't think about sex as much as men
American scientists found that men think about sexual intimacy 19 times a day and women about 10. But these indicators are relevant if we talk about sex as a copulation. Women by nature are more susceptible to romance, kisses, hugs, compliments, dates, etc. It is about these things, including sex, that women think even more often than men. By the way, the famous journalist Daniel Bergner in his book "What do women want? Adventure in the science of female desire " mentioned that women accept sex without emotional attachment to a partner and want it no less than men do.
3. Masturbating is not healthy
Masturbation is a normal sexual behaviour. And there is nothing bad about masturbation in contrast to long-term abstinence for no apparent reason. Of course, to have sex is better but it is not always an option . Sexologists believe that men should have sex at least 1 time a day to be in a good mood and maintain the body's normal condition. If this is not possible, then men should resort to masturbation. Masturbation can have a negative impact only if a man does it too often. So often that he spends days at home watching porn and doing his favorite thing.
4. Every ejaculation shortens men's lives
Sex, of course, is quite an exhausting and energy-consuming process. During sexual intercourse, the number of heart contractions and the pressure increases. But such a load does not harm, only positively affects a man's health: it improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system and the mental state of a man, and strengthens the immune system. And scientists have proven that men who lead an active sex life are less likely to suffer from prostate cancer.
5. Sex can trigger a heart attack
One in a million men in their 50s, who previously thought they were healthy, die from a heart attack or heart failure during sex. In other words, sex cannot cause a heart attack but, on the contrary, helps to prevent it. The fact is that during sex, a man does a job comparable to making 20 steps upstairs within 10 seconds or a 20-minute walk of one nautical mile. This activity is only good for your health. And unlike climbing stairs, during sex, men recieve a lot of positive emotions needed for a good mental health.
Do not believe everything that is said by ardent opponents of sex. And in general, it is better to engage in this pleasant and beneficial pastime, rather than talk about it.
