It is true that diet influences the taste of ejaculation, as it also does in the rest of the body fluids, but from there you believe that, drinking a lot of pineapple juice,
you will taste like a pina colada if they give you fellatio , goes a world
.
The truth is that 'the argument' could be a great marketing campaign for those who want to receive oral sex.
However, it should be remembered that, in the first place,
you should always use a condom to protect yourself
, so in reality, it will not matter if you have eaten pineapple or asparagus.
Although it is true that
both diet and other habits
, such as smoking or consuming alcohol, can
produce different nuances in the smell
(and even the color) of our skin and fluids.
The subject serves as a hook to learn about other
'sexual fake news' that are circulating around the sexual life of men
and that are far from being true.
These are the ones that Arcwave, the pleasure brand for men, has compiled:
1. There is no erection without arousal
Lack of erection is still considered a sign of lack of desire.
But the expert in sex and sexual well-being, Sergio Fosela, affirms that this is not entirely true.
"
An erection varies a lot from one person to another, but it also depends a lot on the situation and on age.
The younger the man, the faster the erection occurs."
Both stress, tiredness or worries affect the erection.
"Being excited is not enough.
Relaxation is needed
, and if we are nervous during sexual intercourse, no matter how excited we are and how much desire we have, the erection will not happen."
Adequate rest and a healthy diet can help a lot, but what can help the most to prevent erectile dysfunction is having this information,
self-awareness of our body, and clear communication with the partner
about their concerns, desires, and expectations.
But what if it happens the other way around?
Can you get an erection without being sexually aroused?
"Sometimes a
casual touch
is enough , or even paradoxical erections occur during stress or anxiety. Erections also occur regularly
at night,
in some phases of sleep, without necessarily being erotic. Basically,
the penis activates a "self-maintenance" to nourish the tissues,
and if that phase coincides with the moment of waking up, that is when the famous morning erection appears," explains Fosela.
2. Men have no G-spot
Nothing of that.
The male G-spot is the prostate.
This gland of the reproductive system of him "the male equivalent of the female G-spot," says the sexologist.
However, according to a global study by Arcwave, more than a third of respondents worldwide are unaware that the prostate is an erogenous zone that
can be stimulated through the anus or more subtly from outside, through the perineum
.
Another 33% of the men knew about it and, even knowing that it can trigger orgasms, they have not experienced or tried any stimulation in the area.
This happens a lot among heterosexual men, since the 'ghost of homophobia', or mistakenly believing that it is a practice associated with homosexuality, leads them to reject any type of practice related to stimulating it.
3. Sperm engorgement causes pain
I will tell you about the classic and well-known
"pain of eggs"
, to understand each other well and not to beat around the bush.
According to this myth, when men do not have sex, do not masturbate or leave them halfway through intercourse, it can hurt a lot, because there is a risk of semen accumulating.
At least that is rumored, even though it is absolutely false, because
semen cannot accumulate.
The human body is perfectly prepared and breaks down the ejaculate or eliminates it in the urine.
In addition,
it is not "unloading" that causes pain, but the pelvic-genital congestion produced by unresolved arousal
.
Sergio points out that "spontaneous discharges can occur at night if you have not ejaculated for a long time. Although there is no major problem if this occurs, it is natural."
4. Vasectomy affects sexual life
This is something that worries many men.
However, according to the Arcwave expert, these concerns are unfounded, because "vasectomy does not influence erection, orgasm, ejaculation or libido.
There is even a positive influence since sex becomes much more relaxed,
since contraception against pregnancy is 100% guaranteed."
Vasectomy is a permanent (sometimes reversible) method of birth control for men in which the vas deferens are cut, preventing sperm from reaching the ejaculate.
The body then breaks down the produced sperm.
5. Heat can cause impotence
Neither heated car seats or overly hot baths and showers cause "impotence," nor do we fully understand this stigmatized term.
We usually understand it as a synonym for erectile dysfunction, that is, that the erection does not occur or does not last long enough to have penetrative sex.
"The heat promotes blood circulation and, in fact,
it is quite good for the erection
, "corrects the expert.
However, the myth is not entirely far-fetched, as heat
does have negative effects on sperm quality
, both in terms of count and quality.
6. The penis can break
The penis has no bones, so one might think that this myth does not hold up.
However, Sergio Fosela reveals that the penis can break, although
it would be more likely that it was a tear of the erectile tissue than a classic break
.
"No matter what word we use to define it, the whole thing is not pleasant. If it happens, it can happen when you slip during sex or in a sudden movement, the penis looks like an eggplant and you have to go to the hospital immediately, "he recommends.
