110 MUST-KNOW Interesting Sex Facts, Myths & Strange Secrets about Sex!
Ah, the birds and the bees. Sex makes the world go round, and talking about sex is always an interesting topic. So, you have come to the right place to find out all the weird, wild, and crazy sex facts that you never knew you wanted to know!
You might think you know everything there is to know about sex already. But do you really? When you were younger, you might have had some pretty questionable ideas about sex. And you know what? You’ll never know everything.
Sure, you know where the penis and vagina are, but what about all the little things *the sounds, smells, touches, and tastes* which actually make up sex? There are more things to know about sex than you might think.
Here are some things that everyone should know and that you should always remember about sex and human sexuality.
1. Consent is actually necessary
This is one of the most important sex facts. You probably read this before and heard about it on TV. This isn’t some passing trend. Ask for consent. Both you and your sexual partner need to agree that you both want to have sex.
If your partner isn’t sure they want to have sex or isn’t saying a straight-up “yes”, then you don’t have their consent. This means you should not have sex with them. It’s as simple as that.
2. Men aren’t horny 24/7
It’s a common belief that men are always horny every second of the day. Untrue. Not only does this place pressure on the man, but it also has women insecure about their libido, thinking they’re not sexual enough.
The thing is, men have sexual highs and lows just like women. Some days they’ll be horny, other days not so much.
3. Unprotected sex doesn’t mean automatic pregnancy
But if it helps you to wear protection then just keep this in mind. However, you should know, that just because you have unprotected sex, it doesn’t mean you’re pregnant.
Does it increase the risk? Yes. Does it increase the risk of STIs? Yes. But it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to get an STI or become pregnant.
4. Sex is like a lock and key
It’s assumed that when we have sex with someone, it’s going to just work. But that’s not the case. Some people are better partnered with you than others.
Everyone comes in different shapes and sizes, and that includes genitals, so don’t expect every penis or vagina to fit with you.
5. No, don’t wear two condoms
You may think wearing two condoms will bring an extra layer of protection and safety from pregnancy. However, wearing two condoms is only going to increase the risk.
The condoms will rub together and have a higher chance of ripping, so, in other words, wear one condom at a time.
6. You’re not going to always orgasm
This is a bummer of a sex fact, isn’t it? An orgasm is highly linked to your mental state. For example, if you’ve been stressed out, there’s a higher chance that you won’t be able to orgasm. See, you need to be completely in the zone when it comes to having an orgasm.
If your mind drifts off, you probably won’t orgasm, and that’s okay. You’re not meant to orgasm every single time you have sex.
Speaking of orgasm, do you know that round ligaments that end in the labia majora cause the uterus to rock back and forth when a girl is having an orgasm? That’s because it gives the cervix a better chance of scooping up semen, for a higher chance of getting pregnant.
7. Condoms smell bad
Unless you get yourself a fruit-flavored condom, most likely the regular condom you use is going to smell bad. But this smell doesn’t mean anything.
The condom is supposed to smell like a tire factory; it’s made of latex. If you’re not into that smell *and honestly, who is?* get yourself flavored condoms
8. Vagina farts are real
Ladies, this is probably a sex fact that you wish wasn’t true. Sex isn’t supposed to be quiet.
It’s two bodies pressing up against each other. Mix that with sweat and intensity, and you’re bound to make noises. When the air gets pushed in and out of a woman’s vagina, you’ll hear a vagina fart, also known as a queef.
It’s going to happen to the best of us. No, it’s not an actual fart, so don’t pay attention to it. Have a giggle and just keep doing your thing.
9. For better sex, talk
Yeah, you probably think better sex comes when you have more sex, but that’s not the case. Better sex can actually happen when you talk about it.
How else will you be able to improve your sex if you and your partner don’t talk about the things that need improvement? It’s not as awkward of a conversation as you think it is. Just start it.
10. Just use lube
Most people think that lube isn’t necessary, that it’s designed only for people who are dryer than others. However, that’s not the case. Remember this: the wetter, the better.
This is because the wetter you are, the likelier it is for you to orgasm. So, don’t think of lube as something insulting. You need to bring lube into the bedroom.
11. The secret is in foreplay
Listen, increase the foreplay in the bedroom. The foreplay is what makes the vagina wet. It warms it up for the main show.
If you rush through foreplay, you won’t become wet enough, and the sex will be painful. In addition, foreplay will increase sexual chemistry and intensity, so it makes the sex better. In other words, just have more foreplay.
12. Everyone fakes orgasms
This might be one sex fact that you didn’t want to know. A majority of women have never had an orgasm. If you’re a guy, you’ve been lied to. Faking an orgasm is normal, and it happens to the best of us – but this isn’t because people enjoy faking orgasms.
Most of us dream about having them, but many people lack the connection to their genitals and don’t communicate with their partners. If you want to stop faking, it’s time to start talking.
Shocking sex MYTHS debunked
it’s time to debunk some of the sex myths that have been floating around. And here we were thinking it was as easy as getting naked.
1. You don’t need a condom if you are timing your ovulation
This is a very important sex fact that you need to know. Okay, if you’re the person who’s using your biological clock as a way to time when you can have unprotected sex, this is not an effective way to prevent pregnancy.
2. Women don’t like anal sex
This is one of the big sex myths. Not sure who made up this rumor, but it’s not true. In reality, anal sex is actually very orgasmic as there are also arousal tissues found in the anus. Thus, many women like it.
3. Men and women sexually peak at the same time
Biologically speaking, women do sexually peak a little later than men. However, it shouldn’t really matter to you. You should be able to enjoy sex at literally any age.
You may face some issues when you’re at retirement age, but sex – whether you’re 75 or 18 – isn’t much different.
5. Women only orgasm from vaginal sex
If this is the case, then it’s not surprising that so many women have yet to have an orgasm. In reality, most women achieve orgasms through clitoral stimulation rather than vaginal penetration. So, if you can’t get an orgasm, change up your method.
6. The pull-out method is effective when having unprotected sex
Sure, condoms don’t feel great, but they can save your life.
The pull-out method will prevent a man from having an ejaculation inside of you, however, there is pre-ejaculatory fluid that leaks out from the penis. So, you still can get pregnant.
7. You can’t contract STDs from oral sex
Ha! Wouldn’t you like to think that’s the case? Actually, you can contract STIs from oral sex. Isn’t that an unfortunate sex fact?
Anything that involves you exchanging fluids or touching the skin can put you at risk of contracting an STD. Your job is to keep your eyes open, and don’t put anything in your mouth that looks a little off.
8. Anal sex is safe
At the end of the day, whether it’s vaginal, oral, or anal sex, you’re putting yourself at risk. You don’t know if STDs are floating around, nor do you know if your partner is truly 100% clean or not.
However, anal sex is no less safe than vaginal sex.
9. Birth control protects you from unprotected sex
Birth control protects you from becoming pregnant while having unprotected sex. However, it doesn’t protect you from STDs. That’s the big difference.
So, if you’re thinking you won’t get herpes because you’re on the pill, think again. With that, make sure you get tested if you had sexual contact without proper protection.
10. You are either good or bad at sex
No one is good at sex when they have it for the first time. Knowing how to have sex is learned through practice, and there’s always something new to learn. And that’s one sex fact you need to remember.
Maybe at this moment you’re not great at sex, but it doesn’t have to stay like that. You just need a good partner and an open mind.
11. You can’t get pregnant if you have unprotected sex in certain positions
You can get pregnant no matter what position you’re in. If you’re having sex in water, standing up, upside down, on your period, if you don’t orgasm, if you douche – you can always still get pregnant if you’re having unprotected sex.
