For adults, sex is a basic requirement as is in a marriage. it is a part of life and most people can’t simply live without it. Knowing how important sex is, there are some myths herein that need debunking.

Many myths and misconceptions have come up concerning sex. This results in more confusion about sex. Some oddities create non-existed stories and bringing them alive, which may seem true. Few of the stories collected can be believed to be true. Below are some of the 5 weird sex myths debunked.

Coca-Cola Soda Is a Spermicide

From 1950s, it was believed that douching coca-cola before and after sex help control pregnancy. Coca-cola soda has a unique chemical that is very sensitive to sperms. Therefore if you douche this product after sex, it will kill the sperms responsible for fertilization preventing pregnancy. Many studies were carried out to support this myth, and it was found to be true. For instance, do not use coke-based douche contraceptive to prevent pregnancy; this product just reduces the chances of getting pregnant but does not completely control it. It's better to use normal contraceptives to be sure of the prevention of pregnancy.

White Color of Your Teeth Can Be Maintained With Semen

This is another myth that leads to more study come up with a conclusion. Even though it tastes fantastic when you drink pineapple juice and semen, it does not guarantee you of keeping your teeth white. But we have many folks who think that semen can improve the whiter color of their teeth. Do you think it is true? Nobody in the Association of Dental America has come up with evidence to support this idea. There is no official report publicized to support this myth. As a result, semen contains minerals such as calcium and zinc; these two minerals are good for teeth formation and maintenance. But the amount of this product that will be needed is many to make any change on your tooth. From the study, it is believed that you require 22 ejaculations per day to meet the amount of zinc required and 1100 ejaculation to get the needed amount of calcium. This situation becomes difficult because the amount of ejaculation you do per day cannot go beyond 22.

Athletic Performance Can Be Altered By Sex

Everywhere across the world, you will get coaches telling their players not to engage in sex before the big game while hoping to win the match. If they tend to lose the match, they will definitely suspect people who went against the prohibition of sex. How does sexual energy relate to athletic performance? From the physiological report, it is believed that a player will create a sexual sphere in their mind during the match. Leading them to imagine how perfect the night was. Therefore, because of the reasoning, it will confuse the player in the field, resulting in the loss. If you look into the physiological academic report, there is some fact. Most players tend to lose focus and concentration while on the field. Most of them give out blind passes, and it's rare for them to register a score.

Men Always Think Of Sex within Seven Seconds

Sex is naturally controlled by biological hormones in your body, it is therefore, hard to quantify mental processes in humans regarding sex. To generalize everything about this statement is just not accurate. Men are not one-dimensional sex automations, as people do assume. Sexual stimulations depend on the man's environment and how they relate to their brains. If your mind is idle, definitely sexual hormone known as testosterone will take over, and you start to think about sex. Another fact is when you are in a different environment, and what you can see around is porn movies or images of naked women, definitely what will ring in your mind is sex. But if your brain is purely focused on something important, you can stay even 4 months without thinking of sex.

It Is Not Easy To Be Pregnant When Breastfeeding

This is another theory relating to pregnancy; you can get more than 385 million feedbacks when you search this question on the website. It is possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding. Many women's menstrual cycle breaks during pregnancy, and this can go on until childbirth. These two scenarios are indirectly related. Menstruation is stimulated with hormones estrogen and progesterone; this means that after the childbirth period, these hormones begin a new cycle immediately, not unless you have reached menopause. While after birth, prolactin hormones are produced for the production of milk. So to say the truth, even though some hormones are used to induce lactation, ovulation can still be possible by a follicle-stimulating hormone. Therefore, do not be deceived that you cannot get pregnant while breasting. High chances of getting pregnant are there as long as you are still active sexuality, and ovulation do occurs.

You Are Abnormal If You Don't Orgasm and G-Spot Is Imagination.

Women love with heart, and they will enjoy having pleasure with you even if you cannot orgasm. Different people have different sex hormones. We have those who can orgasm after you come into contact with your partner. And we have those who need intense stimulation for them to reach orgasm. These ideas also take us back to masturbation. If you masturbate, you cannot be blind; it's just a myth. About the g-spot, it is not true. Women have a g-spot, but it is not easier for them to identify where it is. During sex, let your partner find the right place where it is located, and you will both have a explosive sensational feeling.

The Bottom Line

Different people worldwide have more perceptions regarding sex. Myths and theories are developing to make individuals afraid of it. But the truth is, people are using this myth either to benefit their interests or to stop individuals from practicing sex publicly.
