Discussions about sexual health and wellness is changing in today&#8217;s society, so myths need to be addressed head-on. A leading sexologist shares insights to help dispel common misconceptions about male sexuality and promote a healthier understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of their intelligence and education, most men are hampered in their sexual behaviour by various misconceptions or myths. In the following section, the best sexologist in Kolkata dispels the most common myths about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drguptas.com\/male-sexual-problems.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">male sexuality<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_1_Its_The_Size_That_Matters\"><\/span><strong>Myth 1: It\u2019s The Size That Matters!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact:<\/strong>&nbsp;Penises and testicles come in different sizes and shapes. When they are not erect, penises appear very different in size. Still, they are much more similar when they get vertical. Since most men do not see other&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drguptas.com\/erectile-dysfunction-treatment.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">men\u2019s erect penises<\/a>, they cannot compare their size. However, the myth persists; many men feel they should be a certain size to \u201cmeasure up.\u201d No wonder it makes them feel inferior. The size of a man\u2019s penis has nothing to do with how much pleasure he feels, and it has little effect on his partner\u2019s pleasure, says Doctor Gupta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_2_Men_Are_Always_Willing_To_Have_Sex\"><\/span><strong>Myth 2: Men Are Always Willing To Have Sex<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact:&nbsp;<\/strong>There are moments when both women and men do not want sex. The stereotype that it is men who want more sex can lead them to burden themselves with expectations to perform even when they would rather not. They may feel they cannot say \u201cno\u201d when they do not like having sex. If they&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Say-No-to-Sex\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">learn to say no<\/a>, the sexual activity can be much more enjoyable \u2013 both for the man and his partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_3_Sex_Is_Over_When_The_Man_Has_An_Ejaculation\"><\/span><strong>Myth 3: Sex Is Over When The Man Has An Ejaculation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact:<\/strong>&nbsp;It does not have to be, and it should not be. Sex involves two people, and sexual activity should continue until both partners are satisfied and ready to stop. Good sex involves constant communication and connection between partners to ensure they are doing what is pleasurable and exciting for both. Also, there\u2019s no reason why every sexual encounter has to end in orgasm or ejaculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drguptas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/male-sexuality-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Myths about male sexuality\" class=\"wp-image-2305\" style=\"width:594px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drguptas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/male-sexuality-1-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.drguptas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/male-sexuality-1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_4_Sex_Requires_An_Erection\"><\/span><strong>Myth 4: Sex Requires An Erection<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact:&nbsp;<\/strong>The fact is that sex involves a variety of activities, and most women and men say that the best sex involves creativity,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drguptas.com\/couple-counselling.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fun partnership, and communication<\/a>. According to the sexologist, many men experience a lack of erection, which does not have to be a concern. You can do many things to satisfy a partner and experience sexual pleasure. Pressuring yourself to get an erection will only make it less likely that you will get one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_5_All_Men_Are_Horny_All_the_Time\"><\/span><strong>Myth 5: All Men Are Horny All the Time<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact:<\/strong> In this way, such a stereotype neglects the complexity of masculinity and male sexuality. Just like women, men have varying levels of sexual desire that can change due to any number of causes at any point in time based on life changes, including age, mood, and personal factors. It\u2019s important to recognize that a lack of interest in sex doesn\u2019t indicate a problem or weakness; but is rather a normal and natural part of human experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_6_Masturbation_Is_Harmful\"><\/span><strong>Myth 6: Masturbation Is Harmful<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact:<\/strong> Masturbation is one of the healthy and normal sexual behaviors of men. It has a lot of benefits ranging from stress relief, proper sleeping, and better knowledge about your body and preferences. Most myths surrounding masturbation originate from cultural or religious beliefs and not from scientific evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_7_Men_Should_Always_Initiate_Sex\"><\/span><strong>Myth 7: Men Should Always Initiate Sex<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact:<\/strong> Cultural norms often imposes on men the initiative of all sexual activities, with their attendant pressures and anxieties. Healthy sexual relationships can only be based on mutual interest and even consent, and both partners should feel empowered to initiate intimacy. Encouraging open discussion of sexual needs and preferences can make the experience more balanced and satisfying for both partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_8_Sexual_Activity_Decreases_with_Age\"><\/span><strong>Myth 8: Sexual Activity Decreases with Age<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact:<\/strong> True that men&#8217;s sexual activity and desire may wax and wane with age, but it does not mean the activity will decline. In fact, studies have shown that most older men remain sexually active and continue to be able to enjoy fulfilling sex lives.
