Contracting Hiv | Ten Sexual Myths Demystified For You By Medimanage.com

Is nightfall a disease? Does a great bedroom performance make your partner the best lover ever? You always thought that condoms are totally safe and provide cent per cent protection, but is that really true? These, among many more, are some of the questions that plague your mind and which require immediate answers to ensure your safety and enjoyment in your sex life.

In this article we inform you about some sexual myths, which until now, you thought were true….

1. If you have to plan sex, something’s wrong

Fact: This is a very common belief and a misnomer at best. Heaven help your partner if you believe this one. Planning, as in actually charting out a date on the calendar when you would be physically devoted to each other, simply means taking time out of your hectic schedules and reminding your body and brain how much you enjoy physical intimacy with your partner and how much you want to simply, keep everything aside and be together – uninterrupted!

2. Great sex is the best way to prove your love

Fact: Great sex follows true love, it need not be a testimony to true love. Intense and unconditional love between partners does spark off the physical intimacy between them. It is only if you are passionate about your partner, will it show on your performance in the bed. There are other, much better ways to find if your partner is passionate about you, than judge his/her love by their performance in bed with you.

3. Nightfall is a disease

Fact: Night emission is normal, just like attraction to opposite sex is. The body starts sperm production when a boy reaches puberty and this production continues till death. Sperm needs an outlet from time to time and there are some natural ways by which it can be ejaculated. These include sexual encounter, masturbation and nightfall.

4. Masturbation has side effects

Fact: This is something really silly to think. The fact is that there are no side effects of masturbation. In fact it is a safe way for the release of one’s pent-up sexual energy. There is no risk of either sickness or pregnancy and it indicates normal sexual development. One can continue with the habit for as long as one likes. Couples engage in mutual masturbation from time to time even after marriage.

5. Oral sex is harmless

Fact: Couples regularly get into oral sex to add variety to their sex lives. It is mainly used as a part of foreplay to increase sexual stimulation. Vaginal swabs have shown that it contains lesser microorganisms compared to the oral cavity. However, as Dr Mahendra Watsa, a renowned sexologist, puts it, “Although oral sex can give considerable satisfaction, it is safe only when a known partner is involved. There are chances of contracting HIV and STDs if oral sex takes place with an unknown partner or multiple partners.” Also, cuts in the oral cavity may add to the chances of contracting HIV.

6. A romantic dinner is the ideal gateway to bed
