Five sex myths you should forget

For a long time, sex was a real taboo topic and it was not talked about even in close circles, let alone publicly and out loud. Fortunately, times have changed, so sex is a frequent topic in many books, texts, and forums.

However, all this does not mean that we have gotten rid of all prejudices and stereotypes related to this topic. There is still a lot of work to be done on them, and talking about it is the biggest and most important step. Also, there are still many myths about this delicate area, and some of them you should urgently forget. We present five of the most dangerous.

Losing virginity

Virginity is a current state and means that the person who has it has not actually started to be sexually active yet. However, when we lose our virginity, it does not mean that we lose a part of ourselves. On the contrary, by losing our innocence, we gain new experiences, gain new knowledge and skills, and learn new forms of communication and interaction. Also, we get to know ourselves and the person we are in a relationship with.

Sex during the cycle is a natural contraceptive

Even during the cycle, it is not recommended to have unprotected sex, because even then we are not safe from unwanted pregnancy. Although the risk of a woman becoming pregnant during her cycle is very low, many people can ovulate even during those days. Sperm, as is known, can remain in the fallopian tubes for several days, and there is still a risk of unwanted pregnancy.

By using a condom, you not only protect yourself from unwanted pregnancy, but you also protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases, especially during the cycle.

Masturbation is bad for health

Although most people should know by now that this is really just a myth, there is a need to talk about it. Masturbation is completely healthy and, moreover, is excellent 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

Unfortunately, many people still think that this is the only orgasm there is. Although some women find it easy to achieve and love it, others will, however, prefer clitoral stimulation. Each body and person are individuals for themselves and it depends only on ourselves what pleases us more.

Sex has a bad effect on sports results

Sex before important events and challenges was forbidden to top sportsmen and women, however, science has not found a connection between sex and worse sports results even today. Moreover, if a person is under a lot of stress, sex can help them relax and rest. However, for some, the tension during that period causes a blockage, so they don't even need sex during those days.
