Today while I was working on some other projects, I turned on the tube. Oprah was on and her topic today was sex. There were discussions of what’s “normal” and various sexual trivia. I realized how sad and dismal the sex lives of most people really are. One poor woman said she doesn’t have orgasms, and when the audience was shocked, she quickly changed her answer to, “Well, maybe 2% of the time.” I think she probably told the truth the first time. I don’t think she even really knew what one was. While I rarely find my history of childhood sexual abuse positive, at least it has enabled me to let my sexuality be uninhibited, free, and fun. I’ve known what an orgasm was (and how to cause them) since I was six years old. Yes, that’s quite young. I don’t know anyone else who had orgasms that early in life. I’m certainly happy with that fact. Below are point-by-point facts, presented on Oprah’s show today, followed by my own take on the information, which will be in italics. Sexual Myths—The RealityBald men have stronger sex drives.
True. We do know that testosterone is linked with hair loss. And of course testosterone is the chemical responsible for the male sex drive.
I have found this to be generally true. Bald, or balding men do tend to have more sex drive and fewer hormonally driven sexual problems, like erectile dysfunction. Personally, I don’t have a preference for bald(ing) or not. It is just not something that I worry about. I do have to say that I’d probably not be interested in a man that wore a rug, though. Having sex negatively affects athletic performance.
False. There is absolutely no evidence to support this one. In fact, it could help because sex can help release those pre-game nerves.
I wouldn’t really know about this. I’ve never paid attention to this aspect. Big hands, big nose, big feet = big penis.
False. There's no scientific proof of this whatsoever.
I agree with this one—in theory. In practice, I think there is a bit of relation, however, it’s purely based on relative overall body size. African-American men have the biggest penises.
True. Research confirms that Asian men are the smallest, followed by Caucasians, with African-American men being the largest.
Once again, I agree. In order of average smallest to average largest, in my experience: Asians, Caucasians, Native Americans/Latinos, Middle Easterners (including Jews), Indians and Africans/Blacks. Of course when we speak of averages and generalities, we are talking about fraction of an inch differences between the races. Nearly all men, no matter the race, fall within the average five-and-a-half to six-and-a-half-inch range. Personally, even though I have to admit being impressed by length from a purely visual perspective, it’s certainly not necessary, just a nice bonus. The average man can keep an erection for around 40 minutes, even though he might not last that long. The average woman takes about 20 minutes to climax from oral sex.
Ok, sounds good to me! Seriously though, if my lover knows “The Move” it can be a quarter of that amount of time.
The average man gets around seven erections a day. Sadly, five of those are in his sleep.
That is sad.
The average speed of ejaculation is 28 mph.
Wow! Duck… fast! Or catch… that’s up to you.
Sex is healthy. There's more protein in the average ejaculation than there is in a medium-sized pork chop.
Nice to know. High protein diet, anyone?
Ok, this has been fun. Here’s a statistic they mentioned on the show that isn’t on the website: Only 3% of all respondents reported spending more than an hour at a time having sex. How on earth do they have anything remotely resembling good sex in under an hour? I surely can’t. That’s not to say that the occasional “quickie” isn’t fun, but there had better be more forthwith. From what I gathered from the show, I’m extremely abnormal. But I have to say; if a 30-minute (or less) interlude is “normal” then I’m quite happy to be abnormal. I’m betting my lovers are pretty glad, too.
