Let’s be honest: there are certain myths about sex that are SO common, they seem like truth. Things like: what it means to be wet, what it means to be hard, and what it means if you use a vibrator a lot. But guess what? A ton of the things you and I have both heard about sex aren’t based on science – they’ve just been repeated a lot. So on today’s show, I’m debunking the top sex myths I see and hear, and giving you the actual facts.
What does it mean about your sexual ability if you’ve had a lot of partners – or conversely, hardly any? We talk about it. How about if you’re not getting wet during sex. Does that mean you’re not turned on? We discuss! Let’s say you use a vibrator a lot – can you get addicted to it? Or my favorite: does having an orgasm mean the sex was good? I tackle both of these. And finally, we face the truth about anal sex, because spoiler alert…it’s not just for gay men.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- About the wide range of orgasms people can experience and why each is unique.
- Why libido levels vary between individuals and how this impacts sexual relationships.
- How pornography can shape unrealistic expectations and affect real-life sexual experiences.
