DO you like to repeat clearly dubious ‘facts’ about sex? Here are some you should apply a bit of critical thinking to.
Penis size is all-important
When subjected to scrutiny, this claim does not stand up. Many factors affect a man’s suitability as a partner or lover, and just having ginormous tackle like Long Dong Silver probably isn’t crucial. If it was, women would demand to see the organ in question while going for a meal.
Breast size is all-important
The truth is that men are very pragmatic. While large breasts are helpful to your career if you’re Lucy Pinder, most men stand no chance of going out with Lucy Pinder. Also many other female qualities are deeply attractive, like whether they can give you a lift to the pub.
Men think about sex every seven seconds
That’s one-seventh of a man’s waking hours thinking about sex. Men wouldn’t be able to hold down jobs. They’d keep crashing their cars because their brain was occupied with sex and not that sharp bend in the road. Neil Armstrong’s famous words would have been ‘Mmm, tits’.
Massage is an excellent form of foreplay
No. It’s boring. This oft-repeated idea is surely just a way for various sex therapists to pad out articles and books. If humans needed sensual massage to reproduce, our ancestors the monkeys would have invented overpriced oils and scented candles.
Men can’t find the clitoris
They can, it’s just there near the vagina. It’s not like finding Bigfoot or the lost city of Atlantis. You don’t need Google Maps. If a man can’t find the clitoris you should have serious concerns about his lack of spatial awareness.
Sex is best in long-term relationships
The words ‘vested interest’ spring to mind here. If you’re in a long-term relationship and can’t shag around, of course you’re going to say this. Don’t admit that in your mind you’re fantasising about a wide range of sexual partners ranging from Debbie Harry to Chris Hemsworth to Darth Vader.
