thehiddenpleasureempire– Myth: Oral sex is safe sex. Fact: While oral sex is often perceived as safer than other forms of sexual activity, it can still transmit sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
– Myth: You can tell if someone has an STI. Fact: Many STIs are asymptomatic, meaning individuals may not show signs of infection even if they are carriers.
– Myth: Only women need contraception. Fact: This myth overlooks the fact that men also have contraceptive options, such as condoms and vasectomies, to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
– Myth: The “pull out” method works. Fact: While this method can reduce the risk of pregnancy when conducted properly, it’s only about 78% effective and pre-ejaculate can also contain sperm.
– Myth: You can’t get pregnant on your period. Fact: Though unlikely, it is possible to get pregnant during menstruation as sperm can live in the vagina for up to five days.
– Myth: Using two condoms enhances protection against pregnancy and STIs. Fact: It’s actually riskier to use more than one condom at once, as this can increase the likelihood of breakage due to friction.
– Myth: You can contract STIs from a toilet seat. Fact: STIs generally spread through unprotected sex and genital contact, not from toilet seats.
