Top 9 Sex-Related Myths Busted

Either because of an overabundance of information or because of one sided accounts that the media sometimes feeds us; it happens that we tend to believe things that are in reality, only myths and little else. Consider the following sex myths:

1. Interest in sex decreases with menopause. Many women continue to have interest in sex through menopause. In fact by that age many women may be more confident and knowledgeable about what they want, and may find sex to be better than ever!

2. Testosterone is the only hormone important for the libido. In fact estrogen is just as important, and that goes for men as well as women! On the other hand, cortisol, the stress hormone is the one that dampens desire.

3. True love means sexual desire should follow naturally. Not so – relationships need attention, time and energy to nurture. You have to work on keeping the passion alive, by finding new ways to connect!

4. If you are healthy, you should want ‘it’ all the time. This is not so, because when it comes to sexual appetite there is a wide range of what is considered normal and it could be different for each of us. Comparisons with others are meaningless; the important thing is to be in tune with your partner.

5. Being connected to your partner means not having to tell them what you need. Communication is important in all areas of relationship and it becomes doubly important during certain stages of life such as pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, or male menopause (andropause). Communication can make it better for both of you!

6. The sex organs are the most important for determining sex and sexuality. Here the old adage “the most important sex organ is between the ears” holds true; the brain is the most important determinant of sexuality – how a woman feels about herself, what she find arousing and so on.

7. A libido is meaningless if you are single. In fact it is important to be able to pleasure yourself; to have a loving relationship with yourself. If you know what you like, you can tell your partner about it later.

8. Low libido is a female thing. While a low libido is more common among women, men have it too. Causes could include stress, certain medications, alcohol, hormonal imbalances, substance abuse, cancer, diabetes and so on.

9. Low libido among women means hormonal problems. There are many other reasons for low libido among women – hypothyroidism, vaginal pain or dryness, high blood pressure, arthritis, relationship issues, and weight issues can all contribute to low libido.
