Debunking Sex Myths About Men : GENT'S POST

Men are often depicted as sex-crazed primal animals who are always ready for sex at a moment’s notice. But to describe all men the same way is misleading and simply inaccurate. Sexual education and maturity is a very important step in a man’s mental, emotional, and physical growth. As more men become further in tune with their own sexuality, their likes and dislikes, it’s time to unpack some myths about sexual pleasure for men.

Lovehoney Canada, in its continual work to break down sexual barriers, provided some insight into the sexual myths around men’s pleasure. Here are those myths as described by Lovehoney Canada sexpert, Luna Matatas:

Men are Always Ready for Sex

A man’s desire for sex can can vary based on a number of factors. These include stress, physical, emotional and mental health, body insecurities, and so on.

Sexual Enjoyment = Ejaculation

A common misnomer is that ‘good’ sex for a man is determined by the success rate of his ability to ejaculate. This is simply untrue.

The Need for Control

Masculine stereotypes lean towards generalizing all men as being the controller in the bedroom. The initiator, innovator and so on. However being in charge is not gender based.

Toys, Toys, Toys

A Lovehoney and Kinsey Institute study found that “men who tried sex toys with a partner for the first time during the pandemic are more likely to say their sex life and relationship satisfaction improved. They also reported feeling more sexually passionate about their partners.”

Endgame

Orgasms for men can come in many forms (pun intended). Ears, necks, ribs, lower back, and inner thighs are just a handful of body parts that can help a man reach climax.
