Myths About Men And Sex

Men Always Want to Have Sex With Their Female Friends

While some men agree that a man can’t be friends with a woman without wanting to have sex with her, there are many men who vehemently disagree. A lot of factors come in to play with this one. Is the man single? Is the female a long-time friend or a just a good time acquaintance? Finding a female friend attractive doesn’t mean that there will always be sexual tension when she is around.

The consensus is that it is all relative. While men very well may wish to have sex with some of their female friends, they usually don’t want to get down and dirty with all of them. Maybe some, but certainly not all.

You Can Predict the Size of a Man’s Penis by the Size of His Hands or Feet

Believe it or not, this is one myth that has been holding strong. Thanks to a study conducted at the University college of London, we can finally put this rumor to rest. According to the team of researchers who conducted the study, there is absolutely no correlation between the size of a man’s shoe and the size of his penis. Hundreds of men participated in the study, and all those less than average shoe sized men will be relieved to learn that there is no scientific basis for this popular myth.

Men Don’t Enjoy Foreplay

Men don’t enjoy foreplay because they are un-evolved creatures who can’t control their sexual urges long enough to even undo their zipper without completely losing their minds. Right? Wrong! The truth is that the majority of men actually enjoy foreplay as much as women do. Though men do enjoy a spontaneous, quick session every once in a while, they certainly don’t dislike a nice long night of intimacy with their partner. Just like most women, many men believe that foreplay is an important part of intimacy that can actually enhance the overall sexual experience. Even men whose libido prefers to get right down to business often enjoy some level of foreplay simply for the benefit of pleasing their partner.

Men Only Care About Sex

When it comes to finding a longtime mate, there’s no denying that men rely on their sexual instincts. The power of physical attraction is fierce, so fierce that it often is the first aspect of a woman that a man will notice. So naturally, sex is important to men, and a healthy sex life is an important part of a good relationship. But while it is important, it certainly is not the most important factor in predicting whether a relationship can last, and it is also not men's only priority. Though many might not openly admit it, most men agree that they see sex with their partner as a bonding experience that brings them closer on an emotional level. Most men are not raging sexaholics who think only with their penis.

And contrary to popular belief, they do not really think about sex every 7 minutes. A study conducted by the Kinsey Institute found that 54 percent of men think about sex at least once per day. Surprisingly, 43 percent of men stated that they only thought about sex once every week or so.

Perhaps the myth to top them all is that there is anything universally true about "men" as a category. Whatever man you're trying to understand better, he's as unique as the rest of them — and he's the expert on himself. Got questions? Ask him.
