8 Myths About Men You Need To Stop Believing.. by youngsahito(m): 2:36pm On May 07, 2015
Some truths about men are self-evident:
they like blow jobs and shower beers and
consider themselves great with directions.
Then there are the “truths” that are total
BS.
1. Myth: Men want to do the chasing.
Truth: Call it The Clooney Effect, but men
today are into self-assured educated
women (more Amal than Marilyn).
According to Match.com’s Singles in
America survey, which polled more than
5,600 men and women about love and sex,
90 percent of guys report being okay with
a woman asking them out. (And good,
because, seriously? It is 2015.)
2. Myth: Men just want no-strings-attached
sex.
Truth: Not all men want no-strings-
attached sex, and even those who do don’t
necessarily just want that. “Like many
other personality traits – for example,
extraversion – interest in casual sex varies
widely among both men and women,” says
sex research Zhana Vrangalova, PhD.
“Some men aren’t interested in it at all.
Some are interested in it during certain
points in their lives.” The important thing
to remember is that just because a person
is into casual sex does not mean he or she
isn’t interested in love and relationships.
One doesn’t preclude the other, and it’s
very possible to want both.
3. Myth: Men don’t have a biological clock.
Truth: “Both sexes form pair bonds, both
fall in love, both want to have children –
especially before age 40 – and both want
to raise them,” explains biological
anthropologist Helen Fisher, PhD. “Men
are just as eager to do so as women.”
4. Myth: Big feet equals big penis.
Truth: Sadly, there is absolutely no
scientific proof that shoe size (or hand size
or nose size) is a reliable indicator of what
he’s packing. “I believe these are all urban
legends,” says Stephen Snyder, MD, a sex
therapist in NYC.
5. Myth: Men are commitment-phobes.
Truth: Not so, says Fisher, coauthor of the
Singles in America study. “Men want to
introduce a partner to friends and family
sooner than women do, they like public
affection more, and they want to move in
sooner.” Slow your roll, guys! There’s a
crazy-cool biological reason for this.
Because women are the “custodian of the
egg” (aka we get pregnant), it’s adaptive
for men to fall in love faster and get a
woman off the market before the next guy
does. So why does society portray men as
commitment-phobes? Some blame it on
men being hardwired to spread their seed,
but really, “it depends on where he is in
live,” says Andrea Syrtash, author of He’s
Just Not Your Type (and That’s a Good
Thing). If a dude’s being flaky, it might
mean that he doesn’t want commitment at
the time or … with you. (The fool!)
Realizing that can sting, but “ultimately,
we need to remember that we should
never have to convince another person of
our value,” says Syrtash.
6. Myth: Men Can’t fake orgasms.
Truth: You thought we were the only ones
capable of pulling a Meg Ryan? Nope.
Guys can do it too. (It’s obviously easier to
fake it when wearing a condom.) Because
of the prevailing myth that men always
orgasm, the pressure to perform
accordingly can be “pretty intense,”
explains Dr. Snyder.
7. Myth: It’s always easy for all men to
orgasm during sexy.
Truth: Not only can men struggle with
orgasm, there’s even a nice euphemistic
name for it: DE (delayed ejaculation).
“Some men just have a higher threshold
for orgasm,” says Dr. Snyder. But while
ladies are blessed with multiple ways to
get off during sex, men can’t exactly give
themselves a hand while inside you –
tough break, considering the most
sensitive part of the penis is near the tip.
What many women don’t know is that DE
(and other forms of erectile disfunction, or
ED, which can be caused by
antidepressants, stress, and alcohol) can
affect young men. A 2013 study found 26
percent of men with ED are under 40. “My
office is full of them,” Dr. Snyder confirms.
8. Myth: Men think about sex every seven
seconds.
Truth: Thinking about sex every seven
seconds – that’s more than 8,000 times a
day! – would make men not only sex-
obsessed, but, like, pretty severely
impaired. Luckily for us (and human kind?)
, the truth is much more moderate.
Younger men, predictably, think about it a
little more. A 2011 study of men ages 18
to 25 recorded almost 19 times a day.
Which is still way, way less than 8,000.
(Whew!)
