MYTH: You are never at risk for getting sexually transmitted diseases if you receive oral sex.

FACT: It is true that many STD's can in fact be transmitted through oral sex while giving or receiving. Herpes and gonorrhea are two of the most common infections that are easily spread this way. For example, if a boy has herpes on his mouth and performs oral on a girl, it is very possible for the girl to get infected.

The same can occur if a girl is infected and performs fellatio on a boy. As a result the herpes will spread to the boy's genitals. There is no cure for herpes so be careful whom you allow into your bedroom.

MYTH: A woman cannot get pregnant while she is menstruating.

FACT: This is completely false! The risk levels differ from woman to woman because each woman ovulates at different times. Sperm can stay alive and active in a woman's reproductive tract for up to seven days. The egg survives for 24 hours after ovulation. So there are the facts. A woman can get pregnant seven days before her menstruation cycle. Stay protected at all times to avoid the unnecessary pregnancy scares!

MYTH: If you fantasize about members of the same sex, you must be gay!

FACT: It is during our teen years we start to develop various parts of ourselves. We start thinking about whom it might be nice to be with and just exactly whom we are attracted to. Sometimes people fantasize for a number of different reasons, and either way this is not a clear indicator that this is how real life is going to be or end up. It depends on the individual to exactly what they choose to do with their fantasy.

Explore your own feelings and don't be misguided by what others think. You and only you are able to determine who is the right match for you.
