I thought it might be fun (and even educational) to do a list of popular misconceptions about sex. Things you might have been told about sex at some stage in your life that were just plain wrong. I will start.
1. Eggs come out of a chicken's butthole. Everyone I knew believed this when I was little. Probably it was a mixture of parents not wanting to explain about vaginas, and the fact that the eggs sometimes had shit on them. But then some kids transferred that 'knowledge' to babies as well. I remember having a long argument with a girl in my class who believed this—she thought I was totally insane.
2. You can't get pregnant standing up. I heard this one from a boy when I was a teenager. I just laughed. I kind of think it was probably just part of a devious plan to con me into having sex with him rather than something he seriously believed. Still maybe he had learnt about gravity and not much else.
3. The best cure for an STI is to have sex with a virgin. This one is a combination of really stupid and pure evil. (I've only ever read about this one. But I find it really shocking.)
4. Once you are inside them, all women want you to immediately go at them non-stop and rapid-fire like a pile-driver. I think this must come from porn. But seriously, speaking purely for myself, if I wanted that I would take a speed boat ride over rough surf. Sure, things are likely to be more frenetic just before orgasm, but it sometimes seems the guy has one gear, which involves trying to snap his spine and crack my pelvis in the mistaken belief that I will be impressed with the amount of sweat he can generate. It's OK to slow down a bit and enjoy the ride.
