Do You Still Believe That Period Sex Can’t Lead To Pregnancy?
Much of what most people know about sex is a collection of what they have learned from their friends, watched in movies, or even read online. Myths that surround sex can lead to pregnancy, psychological stress, and even sex-related diseases. Here are some of the myths that most people have about sex:
All Women Orgasm Through Vaginal Sex
Recent studies have shown that 75% of women don’t orgasm through vaginal sex alone. According to a recent study published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, about 37% of women needed a different form of stimulation for them to orgasm. The good news is that clitoral stimulation can help women orgasm too.
Condoms Make Sex Less Enjoyable
A number of people have this pre-conceived myth that sex is less pleasurable when you use rubber. The truth of the matter however is that you can use a variety of condoms like the ribbed or the ultra-thin type to increase physical sensations and make the sex enjoyable.
Your Partner Must Provide You With Condoms
Some women believe that their partners are responsible for providing them with condoms since they are the ones who wear them. As a responsible woman, it is advisable to take responsibility for your sexual and reproductive health. Carry with you condoms every time you go out since you can have a random sexual encounter.
Having Sex When Standing Up Does Not Lead To Pregnancy
Some people believe that having sex while standing up can prevent them from getting pregnant. It’s a common belief that gravity prevents sperm from swimming to the egg which is totally untrue. Standing up as you have sex doesn’t prevent pregnancy as millions of sperm still swim to the egg once they are released into the vagina and fertilization is still likely to occur leading to pregnancy.
Period Sex Does Not Lead To Pregnancy
If you have period sex it is advisable to use contraception as it may lead to pregnancy. This is because sperm can survive in the human body for about five days. If the sperms survive long after the period they may fertilize the egg and lead to pregnancy.
Pre-cum Can’t Make You Pregnant
This natural lubricant is released before sperms are released. Naturally, it does not contain any sperm, however, semen can linger in the urethra and come out with the pre-cum when it comes out.
Does Sex Help You Lose Weight?
According to experts, thirty minutes of sex can burn more than 85 calories. The fact however is that a good number of people don’t have sex for half an hour. Some have sex even for five minutes making sex an unreliable way to lose weight.
