Sexual Myths Exposed

Posted on November 12th, 2007 by Dr.Care

When it comes to pleasure or protection, sex myths are common. Here are a few fallacies when it comes to conception or Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD):
 
MYTH: You can’t get pregnant if a man “pulls out” before he ejaculates.
TRUTH:
While sperm is concentrated in semen (what he expels when he ejaculates), sperm can still be present in seminal fluid – the clear, sticky substance released continuously from first moments of arousal. Of the millions of sperm present during ejaculation, it only takes one to become pregnant. And while a man may have every intention of “pulling out” at the proper moment (coitus interruptus), the heat of the moment can sometimes be too overwhelming to time it right. Semen and other fluids can also carry STDs.
 
MYTH: You can’t get pregnant during your period.
TRUTH:
Your period is a function of expelling unfertilised eggs; however, there is a chance that one could remain (that’s all it takes) at this point in your menstrual cycle. What’s more, sperm can survive for up to seven days (on average, three) in the female reproductive tract. You are also very prone to conceive at the end of your cycle (just prior to your period) when production of eggs is at its highest.
 
MYTH: You can’t get pregnant having sex standing up or while in the shower or bath.
TRUTH:
Sex without protection or contraception in any position, anywhere, anytime can result in pregnancy. Sperm migrate towards the ovaries, irrespective of gravity. Unprotected sex also increases the risk of an STD infection.
 
MYTH: You don’t need a condom for oral sex.
TRUTH:
A dangerous myth, especially in these times of STDs. Used correctly, a condom protects against infection during sex, whether oral, anal or vaginal. In the case of oral sex, ESP Fun Pleasures Condoms (chocolate, amaretto and caramel flavors) can sweeten the experience as well as making it more fun.
 
MYTH: Condoms take away pleasure.
TRUTH:
With significant advancements in the making of condoms over the past few years, the sexual experience can, in fact, be heightened by using one. ESP Skin Pleasures Condoms have been reported as “practically invisible” by users and do not hamper sexual pleasure. ESP Xtra Pleasures Condoms are reported by both men and women to enhance intercourse with even greater stimulation.
If a partner refuses to wear a condom, think carefully before consent, Sexually Transmitted Diseases(STD) can last a lifetime.

    For ESP Fun Pleasures Condoms (chocolate, amaretto and caramel flavors), is that really safe to use during oral sex? Is the flavored lubricant poisonous?
