What is the dumbest advice/myth
 

that someone ever gave you on sex?

**just think...this is the reason why we still need to teach our kids about sex the right way because I am willing to bet some of what you all post is probably still being told to these kids**


I will start with 2.


when I was sixteen I was told the following:

1. Spanish fly (which was harmless) will make a woman horny for you regardless (now we have exstacy which can potentially kill) of how she feels about you

2. If she gets on top you can't get her pregnant.

I knew a guy who once told his girl that if she jumped up and down after sex, she couldn't get pregnant.

-You can get pregnant from oral. (Whoever started this one must have been absolutely clueless about the human body, since the digestive tract in no way "crosses" or "meets" the reproductive tract.)

-You can't get pregnant your first time. (Although, I think this is more of a "we don't need a condom" line.)

-If you wear two (or more) condoms, you'll be extra safe. (Actually, the latex rubbing together causes friction that makes the condoms break. It's LESS safe.)

-You can get pregnant while on your period. (The sex you have DURING your period can cause a pregnancy when you ovulate LATER in your cycle, but generally, unless your cycle is really messed up, you can't get pregnant while you're having your period.)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but I was always under the impression that there is no "safe" period of time and you can always get pregnant no matter what stage of the menstrual cycle you are in. :confused:

Hence why I said that you can get pregnant from the sex you have DURING your period. Semen can live in the human body for 7-10 days. "Textbook" your cycle is 28 days. You ovulate on day 14. Generally the egg remains fertile for about 3 days. Therefore, you can get pregnant if semen reaches your egg between day 14 and day 17. And, like I said, sperm lives up to 10 days. So, if you have a "textbook" cycle (which almost no one does, it's an average), if you have sex anywhere between day 4 and day 17, you can get pregnant. Where things get sticky is the fact that not every woman ovulates on day 14 - some way before and some way after. Also, 3 days is an average fertility, it could actually be 1 day or 5 days.
BUT, in regards to your period, you would have to be ovulating during your period to actually get pregnant while you are having your period. That would be extremely rare.

What people are saying when they say that "Yes, you can get pregnant during your period" is that say you have sex on day 4 of your period...the sperm lives 10 days, and you ovulate on day 14 (your cycle begins the first day of your period), then you would get pregnant from the sex you had during your period, but you wouldn't GET pregnant while you were having your period.

I am sending this to my husband. I have tried to explain the sperm live for 10 days thing to him multiple times, but he just doesn't get it. He also doesn't understand how due dates are calculated (based on the start of your last period, NOT the date of conception since that is not usually known).

Either way....my name isn't Moses and I am NOT parting the Red Sea with my rod.....

You can calculate from conception, and it's actually more accurate, but you're right, most people don't know their conception date - unless it was a break in a dry spell or a one-night stand.:p

LOL

LOL

Dumb advice- you can't get pregnant if the guy pulls out.

Q: What do you call people who use the "rhythm method" of birth control?

A: Parents.:)

I got one better....you can't get pregnant if doesn't put it in.......




proximity........hehehehehe.....

This reminds me of spring break and the "if two people are having sex in the hot tub and you are in the hot tub (but don't participate in the sex), you can get pregnant"

Which leads me to- why would you sit in a hot tub with two other people having sex?

And that reminds me of the genital herpes commercial...

"70% of people got gential herpes from their partner while they were experiencing no symptoms..."

Yeah...well that still leaves 30% that are having sex with nasty goods. Gross.

filming purposes.......somebody had to get the money shot!

I remember an aquaintance in my dorm freaking out when she got the news from our student health center that she had gential herpes. She swore she was a virgin. Then we saw her boyfriend walking around with two HUGE cold sores on his mouth. :eek:

Well, sort of related:

1. I heard someone say that if you eat a ton of lemons, it will cause your period to stop for a month (and she was planning to do this in order to not have her period while on her honeymoon)...(what a dummy!).

2. I heard someone else say that if you drink lots of orange juice, it will get your period to stop, mid-week even! :rolleyes:

3. The same person said that if you want to go swimming while you're on your period, you should take a very cold shower first, then you'll be good to go for at least 3-4 hours in the pool....terrible.

But the WORST sex advice I ever got was from my mom, who said:

"Don't go around kissing boys, because the next thing you know you'll be pregnant!"

She left out how pregnancy actually occurs, so you can imagine that at age 10 I was terrified of any boys trying to kiss me, even on the cheek!! LOL!

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

LOL

I knew a girl who got pregnant because she *claims* that her doctor told her that she couldn't get pregnant while she was on an antidepressive medication. She still swears that the zoloft (or whatever she was taking) acts as a contraceptive also while improving her mood.

Heh.

uh, i am expecting not my first, but my second child by that method :rolleyes: except we knew it wasnt foolproof, it was kinda like "whichever sperm is the strongest is gonna make it!"

That is freakin' ridiculous. I think her medication sent her to la la land.

This reminds me of the "AIDS" Southpark episode, where all the kids thought they could get AIDS from being near each other. :eek:

The dumbest myth out there is the "Our university doesn't have sorority houses because x number of women living together equals a brothel".

Yeah, I said it.

It amazes me how clueless some of my friends are.. people who have been sexually active for atleast 5 years and yet they're in the dark about so much.

My favorite..
"we have THREE holes?! noo.. you get your period and pee from the same one!!"

Then of course there are several friends who are advocates of 'pulling out' (one got pregnant and still insisted that pulling out really does work).

are you saying this is true or no????

Well, "Our Bodies Ourselves" states that one could get pregnant during the crimson wave... But, usually that is a young little chickadee who does not have heavy periods and wears lightday pantiliners during her entire period...

For us older women who are fighting uterine issues and crazy cramping along with having to wear super overnights in the daytime because the soiling is so bad for our entire period, well... No, we probably will NEVER get pregnant during our menses.

And ovulation changes over age. Ovulation is not what it is when your a teeny bopper versus 40 something. The "goo" is just a different consistency...

Dumbest comments about sex?

How come SOME young 20-something men think that it is okay NOT to wear condoms to protect their partner from STI's? HIV is NOT funny...

Stuff I heard this weekend (came from having a family gathering and asking some of the young kids <teens to 20s> this question....)

- that you can use a comb to get rid of hickys


- you can't get herpes from kissing

- you can reuse a condom if you wash it out and reroll it (I fell off my chair when I heard that)

- spermicide can give you yeast infections

- 'fingerpopping' can take your virginity......



....from the mouth of kids.....

WTF?!?!?!
That is gross.:eek:

Guys who want blowjobs are perverts. - My mother.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

well. every guy want a blowjob.... so therefore every guy is a pervert.
... seems logical to me.... ;)

I'm still hearing....

you can't get pregnant the first time you have sex

you can't get pregnant if you jump and/or douche after sex


and my favorite: if you use a tampon, you are not a virgin.


DS, the fourth one is true for some women.

^^^^ call me a pervert....

No, I know we have 3 holes, my friends were shocked and thought girls got their periods and peed from the same one.

I don't know about yeast infections, but I am actually allergic to nonoxynol-9 (the spermicidal lubricant used on some condoms) and anytime I've had a partner use one of those condoms, I've gotten a urinary tract infection. This has happened to my sister (biological) as well, and she is also allergic.

By using extremely creative methods, pregancy can result from oral sex. Allow me to illustrate with this ridiculous, but true, anecdote.

****names have been changed to protect the guilty****


A young woman named Brooke Lynne was madly in love with her devoted boyfriend named Manhattan. One day, a girl named Harlem claimed to be pregnant with Manhattan's child and he, of course, denied it. After some bullying, Manhattan admitted to receiving oral sex from Harlem, but denied getting her pregnant. When Brooke asked why on earth she should believe him, he replied "Well, I'm not saying she's that devious, but all I know is that, when it over, she went to the bathroom and her mouth was full." Though she was heartbroken, Brooke tried to make amends with Harlem, saying that she wouldn't believe such a ridiculous lie. Surprisingly, instead of appreciating Brooke's belief in her, Harlem bristled and declared, "Hey, it doesn't matter how I got pregnant, the fact is that I am and it's Harlem's. Don't worry about how it happened!"

This, ladies and gentleman, is why it is possible to get pregant from oral sex alone. And why I am ashamed to actually know these people. :rolleyes:

Ummm....wow.

I guess it should have read:

-You can't get pregnant from swallowing...

. . . and since this is the only way you should ever have oral, it should follow that you can't get pregnant. Right?

That would be the logical conclusion...although I honestly don't have much experience in that department.:cool:

Why do you give your friends porn star names?

Just trying to complete the effect?

soo nasty:eek:
