Debunking Sex Myths: Wish I'd have Known it Earlier

Every '90s kid had some scholar friends who would tell them all the facts about sex as if they were the only ones left on earth to save them from getting embarrassed from having sex for the first time. And they fed them with misleading information and expectations which led to so many facing intimacy issues and of course EMBARRASSMENT.

When learning about sex it is important to sort through all misinformation and myths, therefore we have listed some crazy myths to demystify for the readers and help them unlearn to enjoy the nuances of sex.

Almond milk: Instant boost to sex drive

Bollywood and Indian TV serials have this long-held fantasy of portraying the newlyweds with a glass of almond milk on their first night to seduce their partner. After the partner grabs the glass of milk then... BOOM!! Nobody tells you what actually happens after. The truth is if you are on an unhealthy diet then no almond milk and not even the God of Sex can grant a boost to your libido. 

Only penetration can bring orgasm

Women have shared their experiences and most of them did not have an orgasm during vaginal penetration. They needed clitoral stimulation to reach the peak. Women who needed penetration to come through also liked the clitoral rubbing at the same time.

Porn is the real sex

There is no doubt that watching porn has ignited so many to face and explore their fantasies whilst assuming porn as an example of perfect sex is entirely absurd. Always remember, when you are having sex with your partner there is no one to watch and give you a medal for your picture-perfect performance because the reality is more than this, in a different dimension. You make love, you can get emotional, and what you have watched washes out with a simple wave of affection.

It helps you start a labor

This is ridiculous, even some doctors have suggested couples can have sex during pregnancy to cause the pregnant woman to go into labor. Studies have neglected this and reported that it can not cause labor but can delay it only.

Certain positions increase the chance of having a baby boy 

No. There is no such sex position that can put a baby boy inside your womb. There is no science to bring the desired outcome. These claims are not only patriarchal but are also spreading hate toward girl children and threatening their lives.
