Just because sex education is often called ‘the facts of life’ that doesn’t mean that myths surrounding human sexuality do not circulate in society. There are certain beliefs about sex which people think to be true that are capable of causing more harm than good to your love life. Call them myths or even old wives’ tales, these false notions about sex maybe the hurdle between you and carnal bliss.
We bring to you the top four myths that may be messing up your sex life:
Good sex happens spontaneously
There’s a dangerous idea that some people have about sex being effortless when you are with the ‘right’ person. In fact, such people may even go on to say that if you need to plan things and make special efforts, then you might be with the ‘wrong’ person. This type of thought process is simply an immature take on relationships and can make people have doubts about perfectly happy and long-lasting bonds, says The Daily Mail . The truth is that people in long-term relationships mostly enjoy really good sex only after both partners make sincere efforts.
Sex is a great deal better when you’re young
A survey conducted by Relate discovered that most couples are busy dealing with careers and families in the years when they are supposed to be at their ‘sexual peak’ and have little time for sex. It even went on to conclude that sexual confidence really begins to peak between the ages of 60 and 69.
People don’t watch porn when they’re in a relationship
Watching porn and having sex are two completely different experiences. It is wrong to assume that if your partner watches porn then it might be because they are not enjoying sex with you. Many people with a higher sex drive prefer to masturbate rather than bug their partner for more sex than they want to have.
Men want to have sex all the time
Contrary to popular perception, men aren’t the mean sex machines that they are made out to be. Factors like his general health, stress levels, confidence and relationship dynamics play a huge role in whether he is in the mood or not at a given moment.
