Most young boys are subjected to the dreaded birds-and-bees conversation early in life. That same information is also typically provided in school,Male Organ Facts and Fallacies: 5 Myths About Intimacy, Self-stimulation and Pregnancy  Articles during embarrassing intimacy education classes. By the time a guy reaches adolescence, it's often assumed that he knows everything there is to know about intimacy and pregnancy. Even so, myths about how babies are made, and how male organ care plays a role, are rampant among young men. Clearing up those myths could help to avoid unplanned pregnancies, not to mention unpleasant male organ problems.

Myth: Pulling Out Early Prevents Pregnancy.

A typical male release results in a surge of hundreds of little swimmers, but only one of these is needed to fertilize a waiting egg. Men who rely on the pullout method may be able to keep the majority of their seed cells from entering the bodies of their partners, but even one little cell left behind could be enough to do the trick. As a result, pulling out just isn't a method that's associated with a high level of success. Furthermore, the self-lubricating fluid men often produce may also contain seed, so the assumption that if no release takes place, then no pregnancy will result is false.

Myth: Upright Action is an Effective Form of Birth Control.

The idea behind this myth is that seed won't move uphill in order to reach their ultimate destination. Unfortunately, these little cells are great swimmers, and they have absolutely no problem with moving uphill, downhill or even sideways in order to find an egg. They can also make the journey within seconds, so changing position right after intimacy or trying to push out, or flush out, the seminal fluid also won't help to keep pregnancy from occurring.

Myth: Having Relations in Water Washes Seed Away.

Two bodies that are locked together during intimacy are incredibly efficient baby-making machines, and no amount of water will stand in their way. Sitting in a bathtub or a hot tub during intimacy may help them to feel more relaxed and perhaps a little bit cleaner, but this has no impact on the ability of seed to move from a man's body to a woman's body. There is a bit of good news here, however. Many people have expressed concern that seed could swim in hot water from one body to another, leading to unwanted pregnancies just from sharing a jacuzzi. However, seed require a fairly specific environment to survive, and the temperature and chemistry of hot tub water is unlikely to allow them to survive such a journey. Therefore, men who worry about inviting their female partners into their pools or hot tubs due to the activity that's taken place in there in the past may not have much cause for concern.

Myth: First-Time Intimacy Can't Lead to Pregnancy.

Intimacy can seem incredibly complicated, as there are so many positions to study and so much legwork to do before the action even begins, but the actual act of fertilization is really quite simple. In fact, much of it doesn't require planning at all. Even really terrible intimacy that both people don't enjoy, performed for the very first time, can result in a pregnancy.

Myth: Frequent Self-stimulation Can Reduce Pregnancy Risk.

Some amount of seed is released each time a guy surges, and men who want to reduce their chances of fatherhood may believe that spending quality time alone on a regular basis can help to reduce the amount of seed they release. It's worth repeating that only one little seed cell is needed in order for a pregnancy to take hold. Manual stroking may reduce the number of cells, but it can never reduce that figure to zero. Frequent self-stimulation can, however, cause male organ damage, including:

  • Chafed skin
  • Reduced sensitivity
  • Increased scar tissue
  • Curved or bent manhood 

However, these issues can be alleviated through use of a male organ health creme (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). A quality male organ creme containing male-specific nutrients and moisturizers can soothe abused skin and boost cellular health, allowing for a smooth, responsive tool that's ready for safe, protected intimacy.
