1. A Big penis is the only way to please your lover

Studies have shown that up to 77 percent of women don’t care at all about size. As the saying goes, it’s not the size of the tools, but how you use them.

2. Sex lasts for at least an hour.

A lot of emphasis is put on men lasting longer in bed, with many products out there attempting to get men to go on for hours and hours. The average intercourse lasts for about 7.3 minutes. Shorter sex is not ‘short’, it is the norm. Duration has to do with foreplay.

3. Men always want sex

Just as the myth that women don’t want as much sex as men exists, society also assumes that men are tireless, unstoppable sex crazed monsters. Men, just like women sometimes don’t want sex

4. Men should always initiate

This is simply not true. Men are always cornered to make the first move — first to call, first to ask out, first to head to the bedroom — but initiative doesn’t make someone “manly,” and deciding when is right should be up to both parties.

7. Going down on someone isn’t masculine

Going down on someone doesn’t make you less of a man. It makes you good in bed. It is also a reciprocation thing.

8. If you buy someone dinner, you’re getting laid

Sex — unless one of the parties is being paid — is not commerce or an exchange. Picking up the tab on your date’s meal doesn’t mean you should be rewarded with sex.
