What they miss to tell you in Sex-Ed!

MYTHBUSTERS:
Myth: Men cannot get breast cancer.
Fact: Breast cancer affects both men and women.

Myth: It's not possible to get pregnant the first time you have sex.
Fact: It is possible you can get pregnant any time you have sex, whether or not you use a contraceptive.

Myth: It's not possible to get pregnant if you have sex in certain positions (e.g. standing up).
Fact: It is possible to get pregnant anytime you have sex.

Myth: It's not possible to get pregnant if you have sex on your period.
Fact: It is possible to get pregnant any time you have sex.

Myth: It is normal for sex to hurt girls their first time.
Fact: However, there are a few girls who find that their first time is painful because the hymen hasn't yet been broken (the hymen is a thin membrane covering the vaginal opening). Another cause for this is that they are not aroused enough or lubricated enough.

Myth: A girl's v****a stretches out permanently over time.
Fact: This is untrue. The average v****a is around 3-4 inches, but when aroused, it can become up to three times that size, allowing a girl to accommodate most men. It will then reduce back to its normal size.

Myth: Men want sex more than women do. Wrong. The reason why men tend to wishfully prod their penises into our determinedly turned backs, isn't just to do with desire. Other factors have a big influence, too: For example, we're still more likely to do most of the housework on top of holding down a job. So we're exhausted! Plus, hormones make us feel like having a lot of sex during certain times of the month, rather than all of the time. And, because we tend to attach more emotions to sex than men do, we aren't going to beg him for action if he's been giving us attitude.

Myth: Peeing after sex washes out sperm and prevents pregnancy.
Fact: For a start, urine exits the bladder through the urethra, which lies in above of the vaginal opening. Which means any sperm in the v****a won't even get wet when you wee.

Myth: If you start watching or viewing porn, you will become addicted.
Fact: Only 1%; all people who check out porn will become addicted. If you're sporting a ring, be careful as 38% of addicts are married.

Myth: Abortions cause breast cancer.
Fact: Abortions do not cause breast cancer. Men and women can get breast cancer, overweight or underweight, history of it or none, it is an unpredictable illness.

Food For Thought: African-American men have bigger penises. Fascinating because it's true. African-American guys are bigger and thicker. One study of Asian, Caucasian, and African-American men came up with the following stats: Asian men were smallest, averaging 4-5.5 inches; Caucasians came next with 6 inches; and the penises of African-American men are reportedly 6.5-8 inches long.

Myth: UTI's are caused by coffee, alcohol, hot tubs, and spicy food.
Fact: UTI's are NOT caused by these things (however, the chemicals and other crap in hottubs can make you more susceptable to getting an infection). They are caused by bacteria entering the uretha. You are more prone to get a UTI if you are dehydrated or after having prolonged sex. This is why you should urinate before and after having sex, to wash bacteria away so it has less time to grow. If you have a UTI and you want to relieve it, drink lots of water and unsweetened cranberry juice (unsweetened because sugar promotes bacteria growth). The acid in cranberry juice destroys bacteria.
