2009-08-11 Truth about sex myths

- Men reach sexual peak in 18 years, women in 28
- It’s true, at least, if talking about the level of the hormone which is responsible for a sexual attraction. The highest level of testosterone at men is marked in 18 years; the female hormone - estrogen reaches the higher point in 25-28 years. But the hormonal peak doesn’t mean the peak of sexual experience at all, so each person has his own age of sexual development.

- Sperm is low-calorie.
- False. Basically sperm contains the fructose and specific proteins (enzymes) – so you can’t say this mix is low-calorie. Therefore there are no diets based on oral sex.

- Masturbation causes the strongest orgasms.
- True, but there are exceptions. It all depends on a person. Using additional tools like masturbators or masturbation and arousal lubes can reinforce your pleasure in times.

- Erected penis average length is about 20 cm
- False. Don’t worry the average size is approximately 15 cm.

- The size doesn’t matter.
- It’s true. It is possible to give the pleasure to any woman, regardless of your penis size. But for lack of experience, with small sizes (or too big) it can cause some difficulties.

- Men think about sex each 7 seconds.
- False. It is grossly exaggerated. According to statistics only 23 percent of men constantly think about sex, others do it much seldom.

- Having sex before the important event - presentation, conference and so on. - leads to bad performance.
- False. The Swiss researchers run an experiment on stress among people in a 2 and 10 hours after these people had sexual contact. According to received results after 10 hours the participants of experiment were cheerful and full of energy. But after 2 hours after sex or less - some people were a little bit absent-minded, that as a matter of principle can lead to a failure of the important show.

- Sex in warm water (pool, bath, or shower) kills spermatozoids.
- True. But such sex cannot be used as an effective method of contraception. Warm water heats up the testicle therefore the spermatozoids perish, but the strongest can survive and fecundate the ovigerm.

- It is possible to become dependent on a web-pornography.
- True, but not absolutely. Only 1 percent from all people visiting pornography web-sites become dependent on it. It’s interesting that 38 percent of dependent people are married.
