53. FSex and sexual myths -- what did you believe?
I'm gonna need some serious sex therapy tomorrow...(lmao)
Yeah, one will believe anything if you don't know any better. LOL
i have heard of most of these but the #1 i cant stand is that men want sex more than women do!!....id have to say if anyone agrees...that women want to have sex with men just as much if not more than them! Think about it...90% of the time dont you find yourself wanting it and finding a way to get it! lol! I know i do!
Well that's a lot of stuff, I know girls CAN get pregnant during ovulation, and blue balls is very real, well for me they didn't get blue, but it hurt, I had to leave quickly half way through sex (and I mean great sex) and I didn't get to finish and an hour later my testicles ached horribly. TMI? I dunno just in case you were wondering
haha thats funny, i herd some weird ones at school:





to measure a guys penis you hold his right hand out make him stretch his thumb and finger as wide as possible and measure from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the index finger.





the bigger his feet are the bigger his penis is.





if a man lasts more then 25 minutes he's infertile





eating Green M%26amp;Ms make you better in bed





if you have sex in an elivator you have to be going up not down to stop yourself from getting pregnant






two of these aren't myths!


14 - you can't get pregnant from anal sex. Really, it's true. Check Gray's anatomy if you don't believe me.


32 -- Female orgasm can help a woman conceive, again, true. I don't want to go into to much detail, but the hormones released during orgasm cause the womb to contract and helps to 'pull' semen up.
1%26amp; 6 are true. Men would have sex with anything girl what planet do u live on? Girls are more picky. Guys are more prone to having sex with a girl then go out looking for another one than girls are.Girls get more emotionally attached.Guys cheat more than girls although lately, finally after a billion years girls are finally cheating back. 14 is true girl unless your having an alien baby that comes from the behind.21 might be invented from guys but it sure is real and it bothers alot and takes a while to go away. 35 is true girl cmon maybe you just a freak and can't accept it. 37 for a girl maybe not (thats what a lot of girls have told me) I think ill never undestand why seems kinda pathetic to me.The purpose of having good sex is to finish it off with an orgasm. If not, its kinda like going to the movies and staying outside the theatre eating popcorn and saying it was a good moviegoing experience or going to play basketball on the court with no ball. I always tell this to chicks who say they dont need to orgasm to have good sex and they laugh and smile and dont have an answer to reply back.Anyways from a guys point of view its definitedly bad if he doesnt finish off. It can be really bad and he could still orgasm.
