Sexuality Sexuality Sex Tips Sex Talk Sex Toys From Cory Silverberg, your Guide to Sexuality People smarter than me have tried to explain to me that talking about sex myths is a bit misleading.  I think the problem is that saying something is a "myth" takes away the sometimes intentional and always systematic way that we the public (or publics) come to believe certain things.  Myth, I guess, sounds kind of magical, mythical.   By this point in the conversations I'm usually in way over my head and they are usually looking around for someone more attractive to impress with their large craniums, so I'm not sure what other words to use.  Which is why, when I want to talk about some of the misconceptions most of us have when it comes to sex, I whip out the M-word.  If you've got a better one, let me know!  ~  Cory   9 Lies We're Told About Sex One of the few constants in life, from the minute we're born to the day we die, is that other people lie to us about sex.  These lies are less of the the-fish-was-THIS-big kind and more of the there-ain't-no-fish-in-that-lake kind.  Here are some of the doozies.   Search Related Topics:  sex myths  sex advice  5 Myths About Sex and Technology Our public conversations about sex and technology are so weighed down by equal parts sex panic and technophobia, that it's hard to even find a space to ask questions and get answers.  One way to start creating that space is to address the problem head on.    7 Masturbation Myths Lies about solo sex may be the oldest organized form of sexual mythology.  Sex education has done a pretty good job of dispelling most of these myths, but they persist.   Search Related Topics:  sex myths  masturbation myths  masturbation 11 Myths about Disability and Sexuality Chances are almost everything you know about sex and disability is wrong.  Including the belief that information about sex and disability isn't something that is relevant to you.     Search Related Topics:  sex and disability  sex myths  Related Searches Service Survey Teenage Health HIV and Aids Service Specials Teenage Pregnancy Featured Articles Follow Me on Twitter!
