Even if we don’t say these things out loud, these sex myths are so popular that everyone believes them. Let us tell you guys, stop believing; it will only ruin your sex life.

To help you out, we have debunked some stupid and common sex myths.

If you’re ready, let’s dive into it!

1.  Pressing Boobs Make Boobs Bigger

No, it’s not true. Pressing or massaging boobs does not make them bigger, and the only two effective ways to enlarge boobs are breast implants and fat grafting. Also, the recommendation may be different depending on your aesthetic goals.

2.  Masturbation Makes You Thin

We have good news for you! Masturbation will not make you thin or affect your body shape in any way, and it isn’t mentally or physically harmful at all. Instead, masturbation is good for you! It’s relaxing, pleasurable, helps you relieve stress, and it aids people to learn about their bodies and what they like sexually.

So you can let your besties or friends know that their information is false and is just another sex myth.

3.  Sex can burn significant calories

Many people connect having sex from working out because they believe that having sex for 30 minutes can burn 85-150 calories. However, you should know that most people don’t have sex for 30 minutes; in fact, some people only have sex for 5 minutes. During sex, the most considerable increase in your heart rate and blood pressure happens for only 15 seconds during your orgasm; after that, your heart rate will drop rapidly and go back to its normal state. So, do you think you can burn calories?

4.  The size of a man’s penis is equal to his shoe size

There’s no link between shoe size and penis size. Multiple scientific research has confirmed no statistically significant relationship between how big someone’s feet are and the length of their penis. This is just the Sex myth people have in their minds.

 5.  A girl is not a virgin if she doesn’t bleed on first sex

No, not always. Some women may bleed after having sex for the first time, while others will not. And to be honest, both are perfectly normal. A woman bleeds when she has penetrative sex for the first time because of her hymen stretching or tearing.

6.  Masturbation can make you blind

There are several myths meant to scare you into thinking masturbation is wrong or bad. But the truth is masturbation is perfectly safe and pleasurable. Masturbating won’t make you blind, crazy, or stupid, and it is safer than any other type of sex.

 7.  Men Think About Sex Every Seven Seconds

Fortunately for everyone, this one is false. If men think about sex every seven seconds, that would mean about 8,000 times per day. In reality, according to studies, 54 % of men said they think about sex several times per day, and 43 % said it was a few times per week.

So, now what do you think?

8.  You need to drink pineapple juice, so you taste or smell better down there.

First of all, there’s nothing that can make your vagina or penis taste like a piece of fruit. Well, putting a piece of fruit in it is dangerous, so don’t do that! Second, you don’t need to alter how you smell or taste; let it be natural. Unless you have some infection, whatever’s happening down there is entirely normal. You can switch to nutritional food, and it might help.

 9.  All women experience orgasms during sex

Really? Many individuals still think that women can experience orgasms every time during intercourse. But, the studies say something else. Scientific studies say that 75% of women don’t reach orgasm during sex, and 37% need stimulation during intercourse to achieve an orgasm. Going through foreplay and other stimulation techniques can let women reach orgasm without relying on penetration alone.

10.  Vibrators will ruin sex for you.

Hahahaha, like really? While too much of a good thing can be too much, casual use of your vibrator a few times a week isn’t going to make you lose feeling or desensitize you from sex with a human being. Instead, it gives the pleasure you always wanted!
