22 People Share The Most Wildly Inaccurate Things They Were Taught About Sex

2. This blatant lie:

“If you both keep your virginity until your wedding night, you will have an amazing sex life forever.”

False.

1. All…of…this

Kinda late, BUT. Gotta chip in here. I taught that a woman releases a special chemical in her brain during/right after sex that makes her attached to the man for the rest of her life, because he made that happen. Only women tho, and only your first.

My parents were so hellbent on this that me and my mom often argued about it… she was adamant that I could barely know the guy, yet this would happen and it would ruin my life, she was that convinced (as a teen, they didn’t like my boyfriend and used this to say I won’t know who he will grow up into, in highschool you’ve known him only a few years, this will forever taint your life when you eventually get married etc…. very strong belief they hold).

Many other misconceptions as well, but that’s the craziest. Others include:

*Tampons cause infertility because the ovaries cannot ‘air out’ *Having cold feet outside leads to infertility by ‘freeze damage’ to the ovaries

*Sex is a donation to a man, not at all something to share as it can never truly be pleasurable for the woman. However, you’re in luck because women happen to release a forever-bonding chemical when she loses her virginity so you won’t mind “doing what is needed to him when do you have to”.

*Women/girls do not discharge. It’s either dry, or period time.

EDIT: People, stop pointing out that oxytocin exists. We are all aware, I’ve replied to many comments explaining what it is. You’re not insightful, this isn’t any new information.

Yes oxytocin exists and it helps form a bond. No it is not female only, it is not for your first time only, it is not regardless of your feelings for the partner, it does not last a lifetime and it is not nearly as intense. Enough already.
