MYTH: Everyone is doing it!
REALITY: Don't believe everything you hear…it may
seem like everyone’s doing it, but in reality, less than half (48%) of all high school students have ever had sex. People lie and exaggerate and can talk a good game when it comes to sex. But in the end, it doesn't matter who's telling the truth or not. The only truth that matters is what's best for you.

MYTH: You're a prude if you want to wait until you're
older.
REALITY: Actually, you're being pretty smart. Every
person is unique and many teens decide to wait to have
sex. There’s a right time for each individual and each
person has to decide for him or herself when that is. The
truth is that most teens who have had sex say they wish
they had waited longer and the younger teens are when
they first have sex, the more likely they are to regret it—
and the less likely they are to use protection.

MYTH: Guys are always ready for sex.
REALITY: Guys may have a reputation for always
thinking about sex, but, just like all stereotypes, that’s
not necessarily true. Think about it—you may love
playing soccer, but sometimes, you'd just rather go to
the movies. In fact, 2 out of 3 guys say they’d rather
have a relationship but no sex—how’s that for busting
this myth?!

MYTH: Girls never pressure guys to have sex—
pressure always comes from guys.
REALITY: Again, there's that stereotyping thing causing
lots of trouble. Every person, and every combination of
people, is different. Pressure can come from anyone,
regardless of gender, sexual experience, or age. 1 in 5
guys say they’ve been pressured by a girl to go further
sexually than they wanted to.

MYTH: You'll marry the first person you have sex with.
REALITY: Sadly, this one is rarely true. Even though
your first love or the first person you have sex with feels
like the one you'll love forever, the reality is that most
first time sexual relationships are romantic but short-
lived. 8 out of 10 first time teen sexual relationships last
6 months or less and one-quarter are one-time
occurrences.

MYTH: Drinking and drugs make sex much more fun.
REALITY: If you're drunk or high, it's hard to make good
decisions about sex. 20% of 15- to 17-year-olds say
they have done something sexual while using alcohol
or drugs that they might not have done if they were
sober. It might seem fun to have your inhibitions washed
away by alcohol or drugs, but that also means you're
less likely to practice safe sex and could end up with
something much worse than a hangover: a sexually
transmitted infection (STI) or an unplanned pregnancy.
People are also much more likely to be victims of rape
and assault when substance use/ abuse mixes with
sexual activity.

MYTH: You can't get pregnant the first time you have
sex.
REALITY: If you are ovulating it doesn't matter if it's the
first time or the hundredth time you've had sex, you can
still get pregnant. You get pregnant when the sperm
fertilizes the egg. Neither the sperm nor the egg care
how many times you've had sex previously. The only
way to avoid the risk of pregnancy is to not have sex at
all.

MYTH: Girls can't get pregnant during their period.
REALITY: There is a chance that you can get pregnant
if you have sex during your period. Once in the vagina,
sperm can stay alive for several days—that means that,
even if the last time you had sex was three days ago
during your period, you could now be ovulating and
therefore you could get pregnant. It’s kind of
complicated, so just remember this: ANY time you have
sex you can get pregnant, so always use protection.

MYTH: You can't get pregnant if you've never had a
period.
REALITY: You may ovulate 14 days before your first
period so it is possible to get pregnant even if you
haven't had a period yet.

MYTH: A girl can't get pregnant/ a guy can't get a girl
pregnant if:
1. you have sex standing up;
2. the girl is on top;
3. you have sex in a hot tub or a swimming pool;
4. you jump up and down immediately after sex;
5. the girl douches, takes a bath, or urinates
immediately after sex;
6. it's your first time;
7. you're both virgins;
8. the guy pulls out before he ejaculates or if he
doesn't go all the way in;
9. the girl doesn't have an orgasm;
10. the guy and the girl don't orgasm at the same time;
11. the girl pushes really hard on her belly button after
sex; or
12. the girl makes herself sneeze for fifteen minutes
after sex.
REALITY: We're sure you've heard some of these
whoppers, or maybe some even weirder ones. Forget
who you've heard them from or how many times you've
heard them. The truth is, you can get pregnant any time
you have sex (unless, of course, you're already
pregnant, which means you've got other things to worry
about). Even if you use a condom or another form of
birth control, you can still get pregnant. The only 100%
way to prevent pregnancy is by NOT having sex. So if
you choose to have sex, regardless of when and how,
know what you might be getting yourself into.

MYTH: There's no method of birth control that's 100%
effective.
REALITY: Not having sex is a form of birth control and it
is definitely 100% effective. If you aren't having sex, you
can't get pregnant or get someone else pregnant. It's
just that simple. Learn more about waiting.

MYTH: Drinking Mountain Dew will prevent pregnancy.
REALITY: The rumor that ingredients in Mountain Dew
(and other popular sodas) lower guys' sperm count has
been around for years, but the simple truth is that Doing
the Dew doesn't do anything to sperm. Drinking soda
isn't going to do anything but maybe give you a cavity.

MYTH: Condoms can be reused.
REALITY: Gross. Once a condom has been removed
from its wrapper, you have to use it or lose it. And once
a condom has been used during sex, it is no longer
good—throw it away!

MYTH: Girls can use a friend or sister's birth control pills
—what's the difference, right?
REALITY: Wrong. Prescriptions have specific names on
them for a reason: because they're for specific people.
You can't use someone else's birth control for a number
of reasons, namely, because it isn't prescribed to you.

MYTH: Guys can use plastic wrap if they don't have a
condom.
REALITY: Plastic wrap, baggies, etc, are great for food
storage, but are NOT viable alternatives to condoms.
Common household products will not protect you from
pregnancy or STIs. Your best bet is to get out your wallet
and buy some condoms. Condoms are specifically
made to provide a good fit and good protection during
sex, and they are thoroughly tested for maximum
effectiveness.

MYTH: A girl only takes birth control pills right before
she’s going to have sex.
REALITY: Birth control pills are made up of a series of
hormones that must build up in your body to be
effective. The pills are meant to be taken in a specific
order at about the same time every day. When you skip
a day or skip a non-placebo pill, it’ll alter the
effectiveness of the birth control.

MYTH: The pill is completely effective the first day you
begin taking it.
REALITY: Unfortunately, it can take up to one full month
(or one full menstrual cycle) for the pill to become
completely effective. Doctors most often recommend
using a second form of contraception (like condoms)
during the first few weeks that you're on the pill.

Na today? People have heard this and more over and over again, including spiritual myths acd realities about sex, but premature sex rate is rather on the increase. Good awareness though, I guess the ones that'll listen will listen(even if few).

Gasp !! Nice one. Centered on abstaining from premarital sex
