“We’ve all heard that women tolerate sex to get relationships, while men tolerate relationships to get sex. That is simply not true.”
Israel Morrow
Sexual myths are as widespread as rumors, and they are as well founded as rumors.
An unsubstantiated opinion about something connected with sex, and expressed with the conviction that often accompanies ignorance, easily becomes the belief of a whole community or generation.
This false belief begins to spread as something proven and real, and becomes a myth.
