Sexual Myths

Abstract

Most of us acquire knowledge regarding sex and sexuality, through various formal and informal avenues. Much of the information acquired through infornal sources is unlikely to be accurate or correct. Sex being a topic, which is not openly discussed is shrouded in secrecy. As a result of all this, many myths and misconceptions circulate in society. There is no doubt that a fair amount of misery and sex problems arise as a result of such myths. Both in males as well as females. Such myths are further reinforced by well meaning but ignorant individuals and quacks. Some of these myths are so firmly entrenched in the mass psyche that it is extremely difficult to eradicate them. Sexual dysfunction clinics are flooded with clients who are victims of such misconceptions.
