1. At the first sexual intercourse do not become pregnant.
This is the biggest misconception. It is possible to conceive and quite easily - since the beginning of the first menstruation. Therefore, protection is necessary from the very beginning, otherwise an unpleasant surprise can be not only unwanted pregnancy, but also sexually transmitted diseases.
2. Everyone starts having sex earlier than you.
Especially the myths that the first sex - the norm for 14 - 15-year-olds, are popular in schools. You should know that teenagers often talk about what they would like to have, not about what they really are. As statistics show, the more comfortable a teenager, the later he starts a sexual life. The average age of onset of sexual activity is 16 years. But in such matters, you should not rely on statistics, but only on your own feelings and common sense.
3. The condom is a hindrance.
This is a very common myth that dissolute inexperienced teenagers. It is believed that the condom will make the first sexual intercourse almost impossible. In fact, a condom can greatly facilitate the penetration of the penis into the vagina, as it is covered with a special lubricant.
4. It will be very painful!
Many well remember horror stories that defloration is very painful. It's just a myth. In fact, unpleasant sensations are insignificant and quickly pass through the process of sexual intercourse, and there may not be blood at all, especially if no vessel is damaged. The more excited the girl, the less noticeable will be all the side effects.
5. Over the years, the hymen becomes thicker.
Some girls are in a hurry to part with virginity, because they mistakenly believe that the hymen is thickening with the years. The fear of being a virgin is forever completely unfounded. The hymen is not a steel septum, it has holes and a porous structure, is very elastic and does not lose these properties in age.
6. The sooner, the worse.
Many have heard that early sexual life is harmful to the body, and this is not a myth. But when is it time? Our body ripens to 18 years, but ready for sexual life, we can be a little earlier or a little later, it depends on the individual characteristics of the body. One thing is true - early sexual intercourse, when you are not ready for it, neither morally nor physically they are always more dangerous.
7. The later, the worse.
It is believed that virgins over the years begin to suffer from various diseases of the reproductive system, the work of hormonal and immune systems is disrupted. In fact, the absence of sexual contacts does not affect the operation of these systems in any way. Regardless of how many years a woman is deprived of virginity, she can endure and give birth to a child if she is healthy. And health does not depend on the presence or absence of the hymen.
8. Gynecologist - only for the experienced.
It is believed that you need to go to a gynecologist only for those who have sex. But the gynecologist treats not only those who suffer from diseases that are sexually transmitted or who monitor the health of pregnant women. Sometimes deviations in the work of some organs are also found in virgins, they must be treated as early as possible. You can find out that you are healthy or need treatment in only one way - by visiting a gynecologist. This should be done at least once a year from the beginning of the first menstruation, then many problems in the future will be avoided.
9. A man must be older.
Of course, it's good if one of you already has the experience of sexual intercourse, understands more about what is happening in the process of sexual intercourse, knows how to take care of the protection and about the partner. But even if you are of the same age and both do not have this experience, with a reasonable approach and complete frankness, the result can be no worse than if you had a more experienced partner next to you.
10. Orgasm is always.
Many mistakenly believe that having an orgasm is an indicator of the quality of sex. Some people are not at all capable of experiencing orgasm, others experience it from time to time, but they can be happy and enjoy the intimate life. For the first time it is likely that you will not get an orgasm - you are too worried, you do not know yourself and your body, you do not know what to expect. After a while, when you can relax, you will learn to have fun with sex.
