5 ridiculous sex myths

You'll be surprised in this day an age, the kind of sex fables that are still somewhat believed by some people. Here are a few that straddle the point between ridiculous and hilarious.

If a guy can easily cross his legs while seated, it means he has a small penis: There are some ladies who think that if men are able to easily cross their legs while sitting, it means that they are not substantially endowed in the trouser department. The sense behind this myth seems a bit comical. The rationale being that if a man had a huge pair and a big member, he would not be able to cross his legs without 'discomfort'. So, according to this myth, sitting cross-legged is a woman's sole prerogative and the men needn't bother. Meanwhile, all you guys, the next time you are at a pub or looking to hook up with someone, just don't cross your legs! You'll never know which potential damsel might be, er, 'evaluating' you.

The more sex a woman has, the bigger her butt becomes: Here's another one that borders between the kind of myth that surreptitiously circulates among some women and is a hilarious joke. That a man can tell a woman is promiscuous because the size of her ass. Apparently, due to the mechanics of sex, the more sex she has, the bigger her behind becomes. So, ladies, the key to losing weight is not apparently abstinence from food, but staying away from some good old fashion fun in the sack. Yeah, right! (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)

The 'friction' function: Here's another hilarious myth that is surprisingly present even during these modern, enlightened times. If a woman has a lot of sex, her partner will not be able to enjoy the act of lovemaking due to inadequate friction. Sounds pretty hilarious, but there are some girls who are even advised to abstain from sex for a period of time so that these parts of their anatomy can 'recover' for a while. One supposes that the progenitors of this silly myth had skipped biology class during school. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)

Guys who have bigger hands/nose/feet have large 'members': Ladies, when was the last time a gent shook hands with you? Did you find yourself checking out the length of his digits? Did the length of his phalanges make you wonder about the thickness and length of his phallus, so to speak? Well, that's a load of nonsense. Let a handshake be just a handshake, please!

Men with ample chest hair are ferocious sex-beasts in bed: The amount of chest hair you gorilla, er, man sports has no impact on how much he will make you moan and scream in ecstasy. If he has a chest-mat to rival Austin Powers, it might look attractive, and appeal to the primeval parts of some women, dating back to the cave man days. But honestly, the amount your furry beast can ignite your passions has no bearing on how blessed he is in the follicle department. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)
