1. A man's penis size can be determined by his shoe size.


Ladies, this is untrue. A man's penis size has nothing to do with his shoe size, or the size of his palm, or any other part of the body for that matter. It's one separate entity. End of story.

2. Wearing a condom makes you last longer.


Uh no. It is absolutely false that wearing a condom makes you last longer. In fact, various studies have been conducted where ejaculation time on an average has been the same. So there you go. Bollocks! 

3. Sex is great exercise.

Priyanka Chopra

Everyone seems to believe this crappy-doodle-do myth. For your information, it will take two people to have sex for half an hour, constantly, to burn just 85-100 calories. Yep. An average intercourse session burns as little as 21 calories. If sex is the only form of exercise you're doing, you better chalk out a new plan. 

4. Men think about sex every 7 seconds.

Sex and Food

R-U-B-B-I-S-H. There are other things to think of as well. Studies show that while some guys think of it at least once a day, there are some who go by weeks and months without thinking about it as well. We're not that limited, thank you very much.

5. Masturbation causes pimples.

Arjun Rampal

No it doesn't. Neither does it darken your skin. If anything, it makes your skin glow because of happy hormones. So keep calm, and fap your way to glory.

6. More sex/wild sex/large penis makes the vagina loose.

Neetu Chandra

False! The shape/size/tightness of a woman's vagina is not altered in any way by frequent sex, vigorous sex or abnormally large male genitals. Chill out, you guys.

7. 2 condoms are better than 1.


Completely untrue. In fact, two condoms are worse. Since there is more friction produced because of two condoms, it is more likely to break than a single condom. One is good enough. 

8. You're more likely to get pregnant if the woman orgasms.

Vidya Balan

Absolutely not. Sex is sex. Only as long as there is semen involved, can you get pregnant. No matter how much you enjoyed the ride.

9. Size matters.

Size, does it matter?

For some reason, a penis is more important to a man's ego than a women's pleasure. The G-spot is located just two inches inside the vagina and the head of the penis stimulates it while thrusting. A big penis often misses the G-spot completely. Of course, it may come down to preferences, but penis size has nothing to do with satisfaction.

10. Pills cause weight gain.

Birth control

Nah! 44 studies have shown no evidence that birth control cause weight gain. Stop making excuses!
