Misconceptions about intimacy … every man and woman should know
Perceptions change when it comes to intimacy, and we find that there are a lot of misconceptions and claims about it. It’s not just about intimacy, it’s all about men and women and how they feel about sex and relationships in general. Especially in the Arab world, we find a huge gap in knowledge between men and women, and even women and each other, and men and each other. We believe that intimacy is a red line that should not be talked about, so sexual education becomes a blurred image in everyone’s mind until the day of marriage to experience it personally. It is also at this time that expectations based on false foundations can greatly affect marital relations.
So let’s uncover a bunch of misconceptions and true information about sex in this article.
1- Men are always ready for intimacy Sex is important to men, but that doesn’t mean it’s more important than anything else that might happen in your life. It is likely that the man is exhausted from work, or has a bad mood, which makes him reluctant to have sex. There are many factors that can affect a man, making him not ready to have sex with his wife. This does not mean that he has a problem, he is just a human affected by his surroundings, just like everyone else.
2- Women do not care much about intimacy There is a misconception about intimacy that women are not interested in intimacy This is not entirely true, because women are like men and need intimacy, sometimes more than men! This is completely normal and we should all agree that sexual desire varies from person to person. There are people with high libido and those with low libido, and this has to do with everyone’s hormone level.
3. Happy couples have sex every day Happy Couples Have Sex Every Day It’s also completely wrong, because research shows that most happy couples have sex once or twice a week, and a small percentage of couples have sex more than three times a week.
4- The size of the penis affects intimacy Legend has it that the longer and wider the penis, the better the intimacy. But like most myths, the most important thing in an intimate relationship is that the size of a man’s penis is proportional to a woman’s vagina, and a man knows how to use it well to satisfy his wife.
6- Men are only attracted to women with attractive stature There is no doubt that men’s tastes are just as different as women’s! If you ask any man what attracts him most to a woman’s appearance, each one of them will say something different. Some will say that he loves skinny women, some will say that he loves full women, and some will say that he does not care about the shape of the body, but only the features of the face, and so on. While a woman with sexy curves may be attractive, it is not at all a measure of a man’s attractiveness to a woman.
7- Reaching orgasm for women There are many opinions about women reaching orgasm, so we will tell you some facts about this: Women need more time than men to reach orgasm. A woman can reach orgasm more than once in an intimate relationship, while a man needs a few minutes after ejaculation to be able to have sex again. Misconceptions about intimacy Most women also need external stimulation by caressing the various arousal points in the body and around the vagina. They cannot reach orgasm through penetration of the penis only.
