The Top 5 Myths About Men’s Sexuality

The male gender is generally not very good at expressing their emotions, which can ruin a normal and healthy relationship. Here are the top 5 myths about men’s sexuality that women believe.

1. Men naturally have bigger libido than women

We are pretty sure you have heard this one time and time again, that men generally have a higher level of libido than women and that is exactly what makes them unable to stay loyal with one person.

But this is nothing but a baseless statement used to justify dirty men being sexually unfaithful to their official partners.

In reality, many behavioral studies have proven, time and time again, that on average, females have just as much sex drive as males.

What may distinguish each person's libido is basically things like culture, religion, and self-inhibition caused by these arbitrary rules imposed upon women in general.

So, although women naturally have just as much libido, they are better at controlling their sexual desires because they are taught this practically their entire life.

When a woman does not abide by such imprisonment, she is fully capable of showing her true sexuality without fear of being called a whore.

2. Men are biologically wired to seek multiple partners; women are not

Let's be honest here, this statement has got to be one of the dumbest things humanity has ever believed to be true at all.

If there was any study to back this claim up, you bet that study was botched and very biased.

This is because, in reality, even behavioral studies have proven that women are just as biologically wired to have multiple sexual partners.

Think about how capable a woman is at multi-tasking, and realize the fact that it is very difficult for a woman to get satisfied by just a penis (elusive G-spot, much?)

Women are just as biologically wired to seek multiple partners if they ever want to. In all practicality, women much prefer to keep to one sexual partner at a time due to emotional attachment.

Plus, there is always the social construct that has been carefully put in place to control women's sexual behavior.

3. Orgasm only happens when a man releases an ejaculate

Many healthy men—and that is to say the average men—will usually experience orgasm when they come a.k.a release an ejaculate.

With that fact alone, many people come under the impression that for men to experience orgasm at all they need to reach ejaculation.

But this is actually not true, as there are many men who can consciously separate orgasm from ejaculation.

Men who have trained themselves to separate the two usually can experience multiple orgasms themselves.

It is because when he orgasms without ejaculating, he is still able to keep going on until he finally gets a release.

However, there are also medical conditions that prevent men from releasing an ejaculate, either due to sickness or after going through a surgery.

In such a case, men may need some medical treatments to help them in their sex life.

4. A bigger penis can please better

Surely you are familiar with the men's obsession with size. But for what? All men think a bigger penis size equals better performance between the sheets.

At the end of the day, science (and women) have debunked the idea almost totally.

Most women would tell you that put more emphasis on how well you can please them beyond just using your penis for penetration.

Intangible things like the levels of attraction and intimacy also play a great role when it comes down to whether or not a woman fully enjoys sex with her man.

Also, how a man treats a woman in bed is usually seen as more important than the size of the penis itself. Women usually put more emphasis on the man himself rather than his penis.

In the end, if she likes you, and you know how to treat her well, she will enjoy sex with you no matter what your size is.

5. Men think about sex every 7 seconds of their life

Are you serious? Once every 7 seconds on a day to day basis is A LOT. Like, do you really think men don't have better things to think about? What about work? What about that deadline?

What about his mother or father who is sick? Or even his pet?

There is no way any man at all can think about sex every 7 seconds of his life because, in reality, nobody has that much mental capacity to keep thinking about sex anyway.

This myth is not only a hyperbole but also totally false and misleading. A very comprehensive study in 1994 concluded that some 43 percent of men don't even think about sex at all within a day.

They claimed they probably think about sex some 2 or 3 times a week.

Of course, that isn’t to say these 43 percent of men are sick; they just have better things to think about and that’s super realistic.

6. Men are interested in sex, not a relationship

Many publications deduce that men are masculine. And that to be manly, you ought to have a list of sexual conquest.

Thus society expects men to copulate with as many women as possible, provided they can play ball. Thus you hear connotations such as Casanova about such men.

But this isn’t always the case though. Physical and emotional intimacy is more vital for men than is often thought.

Two studies indicate that men are as keen on fostering meaningful relationships just as their female counterparts. The assessment also notes that the majority of men would rather seek and nurture relationships with females than seek sex only.

A 2010 study confirms that up to two-thirds of young men prefer having a girlfriend to seeking sex. Still, the margin remained the same when these men were asked if they would keep sexless relationships.

The data is published in National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy research.

7. Men are always up and ready

Women and even men themselves think that whenever they become erect, it’s because a beautiful lady has triggered this feeling. They misconstrue their erection to mean that the person around them is desirable.

But the erection is a complex mechanism and is triggered by many factors. Still, all men get erect even without any stimuli.

The morning erection for example happens due to a system check rather than sexual arousal.

Besides, some men may experience arousal but remain flaccid. Men battling chronic sicknesses such as diabetes and poor heart conditions are particularly impacted.

They may feel aroused and exhibit arousal signs. These include heightened heart rate and heavy breathing. But due to neurological and medical challenges, they are unable to garner erections.

Hence it’s not always true that when a man is turned on, his penis automatically rises. This is just one of the many myths ingrained by male chauvinists.
