Inaccurate information about sex in society can cause sexual problems to grow and a lack of self-confidence. Unfortunately, the act of ‘making love’, which is one of the basic needs of a living thing for both pleasure and reproduction, is not talked about much due to stigma, and many people fall into misconceptions about it. If you also believe in some myths about sex, it’s time to put an end to it all.
WRONG KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SEX
LIKING SOMEONE MAKES SEX LESS PAINFUL
Sex for the first time, at least, can be a painful experience and it may take some time and a few tries before it gets easier. Many may even feel the need to use lubricants to facilitate penetration – however, there are also those who believe that the amount of pain experienced during sex is related to being attracted to a partner. However, in reality, attraction can only be associated with arousal and not with a lower risk of painful sex.
SEXUAL Impulse DECREASES WITH AGE
Many people think that aging has an effect on hormones and libido – to some extent, but in some cases the effect can be positive. In the later stage of life, people can have a healthy and happy sex life simply by communicating well with their partner and being more open about whether they like or dislike developing situations.
MEN’S LIBIDO IS LOWER THAN WOMEN
In men, sexual desire peaks at the end of the teenage years, while in women it doesn’t happen until their 30s. While men have a more spontaneous sexual desire, women have a more sensitive desire to stimuli such as sensual touch. Therefore, libido is not very much related to gender.
STI CAN SPREAD FROM TOILET SEAT
No, sometimes a sexually transmitted infection may be present in the body and be in the incubation period and not enter, so the test may be negative first and then positive. But it certainly does not spread from contact with an infected toilet seat. The only thing that can be done as a precaution is to get tested regularly.
ERECTION DISORDER IS NORMAL AT ADVANCED AGE
Erectile dysfunction should not be classified as normal because there can be several reasons why a person develops this condition and can vary from person to person. Even at the age of 70, it should not be considered normal because it is caused by psychological, physical and many other factors.
