Sexual myths
Interesting Stuff - Did You Know?

You cannot become pregnant during unprotected sex if your partner pulls out his penis before he ejaculates. INCORRECT!
Although your partner didn’t ejaculate, sperm can be found in the liquid that the penis secretes before the actual ejaculation. Just one spermatozoid is needed for the girl to become pregnant and that liquid may spread sexual diseases. Some people aren’t aware that they are ejaculating and that they can instantly impregnate a woman.

It is not possible to become pregnant during a menstrual period. INCORRECT!
There is a small chance becoming pregnant during a period. Especially at the moments before the period occurs. Unprotected sex raises the risk of SSD infection (sexually spread diseases). A pregnancy cannot occur if the sex is held in a standing position, in the shower or during a bath. INCORRECT!
If you practice unprotected sex, you can become pregnant anywhere or by any method.

Condoms are a 100% safe. INCORRECT!
Condoms are a pretty reliable method of contraception and prevention of various SSD (sexually spread diseases). Condoms may burst so it is recommended to use them as “additional” support. They perform best along with contraceptive pills. Bursts of Durex condoms are most often mentioned and I think it is because they aren’t top quality and what adds to the problem is that people don’t know how to use condoms. Also, Durex condoms are very widespread, which means that they are most often used and talked about.

You cannot become pregnant if you take contraceptive pills. INCORRECT!
The chances of becoming pregnant during consumption of these pills are almost zero, if properly and systematically used. But if you skip a tablet, suffer from diarrhea, vomiting or if you take antibiotics, it is recommendable to use a condom for the next few days.

It is safe to have sex when at the moment you start to take pills. INCORRECT!
Contraceptive pills have a different time of performing. This time can be spread from 0-14 days. Always follow and listen to what your gynecologist says to you. If he says “You are forbidden to have unprotected sex within the 30 days, after they pass you may continue” then you must listen to him. You should also use an additional method of contraception until the pills take action. (It is mainly the first month after the pills are taken).

It is not a matter if you skip one tablet. INCORRECT!

A contraceptive pill should be taken everyday at the same time, but if you miss 12 hours or you don’t take it at all, take one as soon as you can and then another one at its usual time. If more than one pill is skipped, the last skipped pill should be taken and you should continue taking the rest of the pills at its usual time. For security, use condoms combined with pills.

If you skip a pill and if there are less than 7 pills inside the package, you should take what is left and continue to take the next package without any pause.

If the condom bursts, nothing can be done. INCORRECT!
If your boyfriend’s condom had burst even if he didn’t ejaculate, immediately look for the morning after pill. The pill must be taken within the next 72 hours after the sex. Usually, you can get the pill at a pharmacy without a prescription. But generally, a prescription is required.

Urination after sex washes the sperm out and prevents pregnancy. INCORRECT!
Urine comes out of the bladder and goes through the urethra, which is exactly above the vaginal opening. This means that the sperm inside the vagina won’t even get wet while you urinate.

All boys hate using condoms. INCORRECT!
Those boys who don’t want to use condoms are the ones who don’t have any respect towards you. Don’t rely on the boy to have a condom. If you thought about sex, then make sure you get condoms and other contraception. Although, boys don’t like to put condoms because they loose their concentration and the natural flow of making love is broken. If your boyfriend has problems with this, try making it more fun. For example, you put it on instead of him. If you want to add a little more excitement, use your mouth.
