This suggests that not all people are satisfied with their marital life.
Such a delicate topic as sex is always surrounded by many misconceptions. Here are some of them.
#7
False: Men think about sex every 7 seconds
True: 54 percent of men said they think about sex several times a day, 43 percent responded a few times per week or just a few times per month, and 3 percent said less than once a month.
The most comprehensive researches about sexual habits in the United States were performed by Edward Laumann and colleagues in 1994. Almost half of the men reported thinking about sex not once a day, but rather somewhere between a couple times a week to a couple times a month.
#8
False: Men with big feet also have big penis.
True: The development of penises and toes (as well as clitorises and fingers) are influenced by the same gene. But the length of one does not predict the length of the other.
In a study of more than 3,000 men, no correlation was found between the self-reported size of feet and that of the penis. Skeptical of a man’s ability to size himself up, some researchers have, well, taken things into their own hands.
For example, a 2002 study, headed by Jyoti Shah at St. Mary’s Hospital in London, compared foot size to carefully measured penises. Among 104 items correlation was not found.
