Did you hear....

[Four_Inch_Heels1]

drydreamer's reply on another thread about misconceptions we've all come across regarding sex made Me smile, remembering a few things *I've* heard.

We all know masturbating will make you go blind, or result in hairy palms. When I was a pre-teen, my friends tried to convince Me that babies were born thru a woman's navel. Ouchhhh!

My hubby thought he'd jacked off sooo much that he wouldn't have any sperm left to procreate.

What have you heard?

Ha!!

I actaully think the amount of jerking off I've done is related to the amount of premature gray hair I have on my head (and now chest)...

[tite_nutz]

Oh yeah, I heard this all through Catholic grade school. I think the priests didn't want us to jerk off because they might miss out on something tasty.

So that is what has caused it!! And all this time i've been blaming it on a family curse! :)

[TT]

A friend of mine told me that when he was young he thought that sex was done through the urethral! And that somehow the woman would enter the man with her genitalia! Beats me what he thought it looked like lol :lol:

I thought about that, too, but my family curse is for the hair to fall out -- not turn gray. :wink:

I'm thinking of Chinese medicine, where everytime a male has an orgasm, he looses part of his life essance (I think???). Could it be connected to my graying hair? I won't bet any money, but it sounds good -- in theory. :)

Here's one for you. My late father once told me that I should never shave off my pubic hair because that was supposed to act as a cushion when I was fucking a woman! My father also told me that if I didn't stop masturbating, I'd never be able to have intercourse because my sex drive would be out of control! Actually, I think edging has made me a much better lover, and has taught me the value of patience. When I was in grade school, one of my buddies that I hung out with at the playground thought he knew all about the birds and the bees. LOL He said a woman's pussy did not have a slit at all, but was a series of tiny holes that you had to jack off over to get her pregnant. LOL Kids are funny, aren't they! drydreamer

Thats nothing
I used to think babies were born out of women's butts. This is before I knew that women didn't have nothing in front, but had vaginas.

My best friend in grade school (about 5th grade) thought that sperm was nothing more than hot piss. Ever the budding little scientist, I challenged him to heat some up in a pan and see if it turned white and thick. He backed down.
My hubby thought he'd jacked off sooo much that he wouldn't have any sperm left to procreate.
This is a particularly interesting one. In the 1800's doctors actually believed that the number of orgasms and sperm a man could have were limited. An interesting consequence of this misinformation was that there were all sorts of chastity devices, many including points etc. to discourage erections, that were worn by a large percentage of men.

Lol...I wonder if they were put into use by mothers, in hopes of ensuring their future grandchildren...or by wives, who may have wanted a larger family.

i remember when i was little i saw some movie on like cinemax or something and my older brother and his friends were watching it. I kind of knew there was such thing as "putting it in the butt" and thats what was happening i guess. I said out loud "what, she's happy cause he peed in her butt?"

The French slang for orgasm I believe is Le Petit Mort - the small death.

I remember the first time I had an orgasm. It took several goes. You know that tingling sensation that builds as you approach ejaculation? Not having had it before, I thought it was an indication I was going vomit. So I would wank away until I really thought I was going to be sick, then stop and put my head over the toilet. Nope - not sick. But I liked the sensation - so I did it again. Each time I would go a little longer, push a little further. After several attempts I got close enough to realise that the sensation was in my groin not my stomach, decided to go just a little further.

Quite a surprise when all of this stuff came out of my cock. :oops: Of course, it was such a great sensation I did it again and again. Haven't stopped really. :twisted:

I can't remember why it occured to me that rubbing my cock would be a "good thing" though. :?

(I'm not sure which is more embarrassing - that story or my inability to use the "quote" thing properly :roll: )

[ward]

well my older sister told me that boys who masturbated got pimples..she was wrong !!!!

Yes to both!
And to make the situation even stranger, women were often diagnosed as having "nervous prostration" or "hysteria". Now there were many alleged symptoms but the closest to a real medical disorder that they may have been looking at was what we would call stress. And the treatment, performed by a physician, was clitoral manipulation to orgasm! In fact, the first vibrators were developed for just this purpose. Rather than dildo shaped, these were things that could be placed on a hand or finger - to make the doctor's work easier. Of course it wasn't really recognized as an orgasm in the same sexual sense - the doctors and their female patients didn't see this as a sexual thing at all. A massive bit of interesting denial. Among the top medical researchers at the time there was some understanding that the physical reactions were the same - Freud even refered to these as the vaginal and clitoral orgasm, as if they were different. But the best "legitimate" or "good faith" reason I can think of for why they didn't see the connection would have been the appalling lack of orgasm in intercourse for women of the time, which of course has to have most of the blame laid at the doorstep of the men.

I do remember buddies in (grade school) telling me guys who jerked off would 'use up' their stuff and not be able to have kids (never stopped me though)...

I remember my mom telling me that when she was a girl her mother told her girls got pregnant from kissing.. I suppose there was some truth to that... I sauspect there was very little intercourse that wasn't preceeded by at least a little kissing!

For all the bad things masturbation was supposed to do (even touted by the medical community at times as something to refrain from)... nice to know now that all those teens, 20's and 30's orgasms may have actually reduced my chance of developing prostate cancer!! (But, honey... I'm doing it for my health... I don't enjoy it *honest*!!)

A myth that I remember was that I thought (or more like wondered) if you could get AIDS or STD's from yourself. Thought that if some of your own stuff got inside you then it might be possible. But then I was a teen when some of that stuff was new. Pretty silly idea now but it seemed to make since at the time.

Hell, when I heard that I redoubled my efforts hoping it was true. I didn't want any kids! Didn't change my mind until I was almost 30!

And Bill C deserves the prize for the best rationalization ever. I can just imagine him with a sheepish grin when he says...

But, honey... I'm doing it for my health... I don't enjoy it *honest*!!

BadBob... I just snorted coffee out of my nose!! I was thinking *exactly* that when I typed it!! ;)

and what about.. "But darlin.. you *have* to let me cum... think about my *health*!!"

Thanks for the laugh this Sunday mornin... I needed that!

Like Jarl, I too thought women gave birth through their ass. I even remember having a big argument with a friend over it. When I got a little older (9-10) and I found out that girls got their period...I changed my thoughts to think that women got an extra orifice, called a period, during puberty and that is where babies came from.

I remember when I first learned that a man entered a woman during sex. I told a friend of mine and we were both totally grossed out! LOL We were all "I don't know if I want to do that.." *sigh*...if we only new we would spend the rest of our lives in pursuit of just that thing!

[gregor2001us]

I do not remeber hearing any fibs with misinformation. But my mom would tell the story of when i was in 1st or 2nd grade, and i came down the stairs and asked where babies came from, how they got out of the mommy. My parents apparently gave me a vague answer about a hole the Woman had. And i pressed them for exactly where that hole was. The story is my dad, finally had had enough and told me in a very firm, almost angry tone it was time for bed and the discussion was ended.

No fib, but no satisfaction either.
