Myths About Sex

It’s common to compare ourselves to others, especially among younger people. What seems to fall within the “norm” makes us feel secure, while anything that deviates from that supposed normality can affect us when it comes to having sex.
Sexuality isn’t purely about the genitals, since the brain is just as powerful—if not more so—than the sexual organs or the skin, which, by extension, is one of the most extensive key areas in erotic play.
Obsessing over sexual problems—whether real or imagined (premature ejaculation, fear, insecurity, etc.)—triggers the sympathetic nervous system and, consequently, anxiety. It’s important to understand that not only is every relationship different, but every sexual moment is different as well; we must approach it with anticipation but in an active way, prioritizing feeling and enjoyment.

-“Does size matter?”:

The influence of penis size on sexual satisfaction (in the purely physical sense of the phrase) would only apply in the case of micropenises (those whose erect length is less than 6 centimeters).
Surveys reveal that girth, not length, is the factor that most influences female pleasure. In movies, penis size may be distorted or appear
much larger than it actually is, due to perspective, camera angle, lighting, and sometimes the use of drugs to enhance erections, but many young men develop unrealistic expectations or insecurities regarding penis size when they compare themselves to models or actors in adult films.
On the other hand, one of the most effective ways to achieve an orgasm is through stimulation of the clitoris and vaginal tissues, which is not always achieved through penetration. Although genital size is not decisive in sexual satisfaction, it can influence the self-esteem issues caused by these insecurities.
In fact, one of the most important factors in ensuring pleasure during sexual intercourse is self-confidence. When a man believes he has a small penis, this complex affects the way he interacts with his potential partners, regardless of whether the relationships are casual or long-term.

-Premature ejaculation affects young men:

That’s not true; premature ejaculation affects about 30% of men at some point in their lives. Often, when this condition occurs in men over 30, it’s associated with erectile dysfunction, poor cardiovascular fitness, depression, anxiety, or neurological problems. In older men, it can also be a side effect of prostate problems.

-Men have more needs than women:

Although many men give the impression that they are ready to have sex 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in reality they all experience daily fluctuations in libido, just as women do. A man’s willingness to have sex can be affected by many factors similar to those that affect a woman’s level of desire, including diet, lack of sleep, stress, medical conditions, and self-confidence—or lack thereof. However, women face additional factors that affect their libido, such as their menstrual cycle, and they are more heavily influenced than men by emotional and environmental factors—including cultural stigmas that make it difficult for them to be open and assertive about their desires.

-After a certain age, sex is no longer important:

Sex is a very important aspect of physical and emotional health, as well as the well-being of adults of all ages, including those who have reached their “golden years.” Although some people believe that a decrease in libido is a natural part of aging, this loss of sexual desire is more closely related to a range of other factors, such as hormonal imbalances, depression, anxiety disorders, side effects of certain medications, communication barriers, or the loss of a partner.

-Is the blue pill effective or not?

Although many people believe that taking Viagra and other similar oral medications is the best or only treatment for men with erectile dysfunction, the truth is that for many of them
these drugs are not effective.
Oral treatments are only a temporary solution to a problem that may have an underlying cause in the body and must be addressed by a qualified physician. Furthermore, many men with conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes cannot take these oral medications due to their side effects or contraindications; in these cases, there are many other alternatives.

-Not today… I have a headache:

Women and men have sometimes pretended to have migraines to avoid having sex, but it would be advisable to change tactics, since it has been shown that the oxytocin and endorphins released during orgasm counteract the sensation of pain.

-Some foods boost libido:

Aphrodisiacs are named after the Greek goddess of sensuality and love, and it has long been said that they influence one’s mood. However, there is no scientific evidence that
foods such as chocolate, oysters, or cinnamon are effective in this regard.
There are no serious studies on foods and/or herbs that cause arousal, but it is true that a particular food can trigger an erotic memory or desire in one’s own mind, so in a sense, we all have our own aphrodisiacs.
