A woman explains just a few of the things men have always wondered about.
Myth She can’t get pregnant if she’s on her period.
Fact: Oh, yes she can. The chances are lower and the process is a bit complicated to explain in a blurb, but basically it boils down to the fact that there’s no way for a woman to tell if her egg has been flushed out of her system or not. It could still be lurking in there ready for a last shot at the big-time. Also, sperm can survive inside a woman’s body for up to three days. There is a chance it could just wait around until the next egg is ready and blammo! Bottom line: Don’t think period sex is your defense against pregnancy. That’s just dumb.
Myth: The G-spot
Fact: The history of the G-spot theory is as complicated as finding an actual G-spot. The truth is, there isn’t actually one magical spot inside the walls of the vagina that triggers orgasm during intercourse. It can happen if a woman is lucky enough to have an abnormal amount of nerve-ending clustered in one part of her vaginal wall, but it isn’t that common. Vaginal orgasms are rare and the whole G-spot thing has been an unnecessary source of stress for men and women for decades.
Myth: You’re not pleasing her if you can’t make her orgasm.
Fact: This is another myth perpetrated by the G-spot “movement”. Having an orgasm is great! We do enjoy it (especially when a man takes his time in the clitoral area), however we don’t need it to enjoy sex. There are many physical sensations that make sex an overall great experience. Also, for women sex is a complicated cocktail of the physical and sensual. The best sex starts way before you even get her into bed. Complimenting her, showing her kindness, emotionally connecting to her – these are all things you can do before you undress that will pay off very well after you undress.
Myth: Size matters.
Fact: There is such a thing as too big (if it looks like it might tear our uterus to shreds), and there is such a thing as too small (as in a medically diagnosed “micropenis”) but pretty much anything in between is fine with us. Girth certainly matters more than length, but even if you aren’t the most “gifted” in the area of size it really isn’t how big it is…it’s all in how you use it.
Myth: A woman wants you to rock that bed aaaaalll night long.
Fact: No. Not really. In fact, to most women that sounds like a lot of work. What we want is to be satisfied. Sometimes that satisfaction comes from an intimate, sensual, patient round of love-making and sometimes it comes from a quickie in the laundry room. Don’t let all those hits on the music charts fool you. We don’t need marathon sex and most of us don’t even want it. We have things to do! Help us come so we can go!
