<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I walked down the long aisle in my beautiful silk dress. My heart pounded with excitement as I locked eyes with my handsome husband-to-be. He beamed from ear to ear as I slowly approached him.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This was the day, the moment we had been anticipating for the past eight months.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We were both raised in Christian homes and were taught from a young age that saving sex for marriage was the Biblical and right thing to do. The anticipation of giving the gift of virginity to one another was overwhelmingly exciting.</span></div>
<h1 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0pt none; margin: 0pt; outline: invert none 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">There we stood on our wedding day – both virgins and looking as pure and as perfect as can be.</span></strong></h1>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">As perfect as we both looked that day…we knew we weren’t as pure on the inside. Yes, we had both saved our bodies for one another, but over the years we had both fallen prey to many impure thoughts and sexual temptations in our minds.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Like me, so many Christian girls strive to save their virginity for their future husbands, but very few are as passionate about saving their “minds” for their husbands as well.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Being a virgin with your body is encouraged in every Bible believing church, but what about being a virgin with your<em style="border: 0pt none; margin: 0pt; outline: invert none 0pt; padding: 0pt;"> mind</em> too?</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">

<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The problem I had and that so many single Christian girls have today is that they’re saving their bodies for marriage, but aren’t saving their minds.They approach their wedding day as a physical virgin, but aren’t anything close to a virgin in their personal thought life.</span></div>

<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">A lot of Christians think “lust” is just a guy problem…but I’m here to say it’s just as much of a girls problem. I’ve read story after story of Christian single girls who became enslaved to a certain lustful sexual sin.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">A lot of their lustful habits started out as innocently as browsing a Facebook page, accidentally stumbling across a bad website, reading a Christian romance novel, or wandering into an Abercrombie store.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">One little thought, one little image, one little linger of the imagination slowly became an enslaving lustful habit for these girls.</span></div>

<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We need to wake up and open up about this major problem.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“The internet filter review from ChristianityToday.com documents 70 percent of women keep their cyber activities secret. But, 1 of 3 visitors to all adult websites are women.” -Jonalyn Fincher</span></div>

<strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0pt none; margin: 0pt; outline: invert none 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">That means 7 out of 10 of you reading this blog right now keep your cyber activities a secret.</span></strong></h1>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Keeping something a secret is usually done because you don’t want anyone else to know what you’re doing. Right? Sure, you might be saving your virginity for your wedding night, but what are you secretly doing in your mind?</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I heard a great illustration in church last week about how every person is like a house.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We keep our front rooms looking clean and pretty for when the guests come over. We might even keep the kitchen clean and the bathrooms shiny. We want everyone to think our house is beautiful and free of dirt.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">

<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We keep those doors closed tight and don’t allow anyone in. Those rooms are full of dust, disorganized and are really dirty. We put on a good front, but keep our dirt behind closed doors.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Isn’t that so true when it comes to mental purity? We look so good on the outside! We’re pros at putting on the church smile and dressing nicely. In fact, we might even try to dress modestly and do godly things like saving sex for marriage; but our houses are dirty and rotten on the inside.</span></div>

<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Sadly, no matter how good you look on the outside, God sees exactly what’s going on in your private life. God sees exactly what you’re thinking every moment of every day.</span></div>

<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">When Jesus met the woman at the well in John chapter 4, she was in the middle of struggling with some serious sexual sin of her own. She was shocked when Jesus knew about her dirty back rooms.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">She had bounced in and out of five different marriages and was currently living with her boyfriend. She was seeking sexual pleasure, security and fulfilment in all of these different men, but nothing satisfied her.</span></div>

<strong style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); border: 0pt none; margin: 0pt; outline: invert none 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">She was dying of thirst and was looking for water in all of the wrong places.</span></strong></h1>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">She was thirsty and was never satisfied. That’s exactly how lust works. It promises satisfaction and fulfillment, but always leaves you thirsty for more.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In addressing her sexual sin Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water [sexual sin] will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again” (John 4:13-14).</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">

<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">First, you have to expose those dirty rooms in your house by confessing your sins to God and asking for His forgiveness.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Next, stop doing whatever it is that is feeding your lust. If it’s a certain Facebook page, romance novel, website, store, music group, etc. – get rid of it. Let me say that again – get RID of it.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The easiest way to give into temptation is by making easy provisions for your flesh. Build walls of protection and accountability around yourself to avoid falling into the same traps.</span></div>

<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This means opening up your Bible and spending a good chunk of time reading God’s word. This means spending a good chunk of time praying and asking God for strength every day.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 29px; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The more you invest in your relationship with Jesus, the more you love Him and the less you will love the sin of this world.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Aaron Carroll:</strong> Hi, I am Aaron Carroll. You can usually find me here at Healthcare Triage but today we are going to head over to the salon for mental floss where I'll be taking to you about 20 myths and misconceptions about sex. Look, fair warning here, this is an episode about sex. If you think that is inappropriate or it is not your thing, probably good idea to turn this off now.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Did you know that it's a myth that there is any correlation between penis size and shoe size? There have been many studies on this amazingly enough and they fail to find any link between the size of a man's shoe and the size of a man's stretched or erect penis. There is also no relationship between his penis and the size of his hands or ears or anything else for that matter. Looking at a shoe will only tell you about his taste in footwear. That is the first of many misconceptions about sex I am going to debunk today.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that the average man has a 7-inch penis. Lets be honest, to study this correctly, you can't ask men how big their penises are. You have to get in there and measure yourself. We found 15 studies that looked at stretched penile size and most of them had an average about five inches. Here in Indiana, the Kinsey Institute studied more than 1600 men and found an average erect penis size was about 5.6 inches. Interestingly, erections brought about by oral sex were larger than erections brought about by manual stimulation. Is that because oral sex causes bigger erections or is it because bigger penises get oral sex? We have no idea.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth wearing a condom makes you last longer. In a study of 500 men from Europe and America, the intravaginal ejaculation latency time was 5.4 minutes. They literally clocked these men with a stop watch. Men 18-30 years old lasted the longest at 6.5 minutes on average dropping to only 4.3 minutes for men over 51. Wearing a condom made no difference nor did whether the men were circumcised. Here Clark Kent's super speed backfires, Aquaman wins.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that you can build up a much bigger load. I am not why so many people care about this but here we go. In 2005, a study of more than 6000 men who provided about 9500 samples was published. Men who waited a week had an average ejaculate volume of 3.7 milliliters. Men who had sex the day before had a volume of 2.3 milliliters. That's a difference of less than a third of a teaspoon. But even men who came earlier that day still produced 2.4 milliliters. So we can imagine that waiting is worth it.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that men want blondes more than brunettes. Sure, there have been some local studies that point to the fact that men say this but they are usually in places where blonde hair is less common. In areas where blonde hair is more common, the preference is not as clear. There is also no correlation in studies between women having blonde hair and having more sexual partners, more sex or more orgasms.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that most women are going hairless these days. Yes it is true that the playboy centerfolds are more likely to have little or no pubic hair in recent years. But that's a skewed sample. A 2010 survey or more than 2400 women found that only 11% of women aged 18-68 remove all of their hair most of the time, 20% remove no hair at all, and only about a quarter remove their pubic hair some of the time. Going bare is somewhat related to age with 21% of 18- to 24-year-olds shaving it all off versus 9% of women in their 30s or 2% of women over 50. Bottom line though, is that the majority of women of all ages keep some hair down there.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that bigger breasts are less sensitive than smaller breasts. Some people have argued that bigger breasts have longer nerves to get to the skin and that this makes them feel less. Of course, then taller women will have less sensitivity too and no one makes that argument. The evidence for this comes from studies that ask women if they could feel hair-like filaments of different sizes on their breasts. There were differences but no woman ever defines sensitivity during sex as the ability to feel a single hair. Besides, no one argues that men with smaller penises derive more pleasure than men with large penises.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that sex is great exercise. Yeah it burns off some calories, but most people aren't active for that long. 30 minutes of sex might burn off 85-150 calories, but remember the average intravaginal ejaculation latency time I mentioned before not even close. The time that sex is aerobic where your heart rate goes up is even shorter.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Despite what you have learned from our highway scientific competitor madmen, it's a myth that all men cheat or that there is a difference between men and women. If you define cheating as intercourse then yeah, men cheat more often. If you broaden it to include other acts, then women cheat pretty much as often as men. Surprisingly, age doesn't seem to be a factor either. The most comprehensive study we've seen showed that 23% of men and 19% of women had cheated in their current relationship. The biggest predictor was being unhappy or incompatible in terms of sexual attitudes or values.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that men peak sexually long before women. What does this peak mean anyway? If you define it to be the frequency of sex, then both men and women are likely to go without it for a whole year during their 20s. If we define by masturbation, they are both most likely to do it in their late 20s. If we define it by oral sex, men are most likely to get it in their late 20s and give it in their 30s. Women are most likely to give and receive it in their late 20s. If we define sex at least four times a week, its 30s or 40s for men and late 20s for women. There is no metric that make this myth true. Speaking of sexual peaks, did you ever wonder if spider man was a metaphor for going through puberty?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that young men are more likely to ejaculate prematurely. If we define that as climaxing too early, then studies have shown that 30% of 18- to 29-year-olds have an issue but so do 32% of men in 30s, 28% of men in their 40s and 32% of men in their 50s. For most men, it is a transient issue that goes away. For men with severe and life-long premature ejaculation, it actually worsens as men age.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that men think about sex every 7 seconds. This one defies belief. It would be sex, sex, sex all day. That would be more than 57,000 times a day. It's pretty much every time you take a breath. Over 40% of men report thinking about sex only a few times a month or a few times a week. 4% of men think about sex less than once a month. There is no truth to this one at all.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that married people don't masturbate. Lots and lots of people masturbate. A study of college students found that 98% of males and 44% of females reported to having masturbated. Males average 12 times a month and females average five. A study of married people found that 85% of men and 45% of women had masturbated in the last year.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that dead males can develop erections. Who comes up with this stuff? Anyway, do an Internet search and you are bound to come up with a new story about a woman in Missouri who worked at a mortuary and was arrested after becoming pregnant from a cadaver she well worked on. It's a hoax. It's also a hoax of the idea that a cadaver could develop an erection, can't happen. If you die flaccid, you are flaccid for good. It is possible to die with an erection though, and keep it. It actually occurred pretty often in men who died by hanging. You still can't cause a dead body to ejaculate though.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that only males have wet dreams. First of all, let's stipulate that a wet dream is a state of sexual arousal while asleep that result in orgasm that wakes you up. More than one study has found that about 40% of females report having had this happen to them. About 30% of females report this happening in the last year. The numbers for men are higher but women aren't doing too badly.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that masturbating will make you go blind. I mean come on. If this were true, you too would be a total waste of time because almost none of you would be able to see the videos. This is just totally untrue. But here is a fine fact, John Harvey Kellogg was a famous nutritionist and sexual advisor. He developed a number of foods including his eponymous corn flakes to reduce sexual desire and stop masturbation. I don't think they work.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that the pills make you gain weight. When the pill was first developed, it contained very high levels of both estrogen and progesterone. But the pill as it exists today is much more refined and contains far lower levels of hormones. A meta analysis by the Cochrane Collaboration found 49 studies that compared the pill to placebo and other pills with respect to weight gain. None of the studies that compared the pill to placebo showed that birth control pills cause weight gain. I am not saying you are guaranteed not to gain weight if you go into pill but it is likely not because of the pill. This pill full of candy will make you gain weight. It still won't make your kids hyper, though.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that you can game having a boy or girl by how you have sex. You just can't. Some people say that X sperm are bigger than y-sperm because the X chromosome is significantly bigger than the Y chromosome. Therefore, if ejaculation occurs further from cervix, Y sperm has a better chance of overtaking the X sperm and making it to the egg first. So, if you want a girl go for a deep ejaculation. If you want a boy, do the opposite. Another explanation has it that X sperm are hardier than Y sperm. So, if you ejaculate further from the cervix, X sperm are more likely to make it all the way to the egg first. If this is true, if you want a boy, go for a deep ejaculation. If you want a girl, do the opposite or just recognize that all of this is ridiculous.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It's a myth that you don't need the HPV vaccine until you are having sex. First of all, you need to be fully vaccinated before you are ever exposed to HPV for the vaccine to work and that takes time. So, once you have had sex, maybe too late. HPV is really common so is sex. By the end of their teenage years, more than three-quarters of all adolescents have engaged in sexual intercourse. More than two-thirds of them have had sex with at least two people. More than 6% of children in the United States have sexual intercourse before the age of 13 and younger kids are the least likely to use protection. The HPV vaccine is about prevention, get it early.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">And we return to this a lot to talk about the myth that the HPV vaccine encourages girls to have sex. This has been studied throughout a cohort of almost 1400 girls, 493 received the vaccine. Researchers followed them for 3 years after immunization to see if there were any differences in sexual outcomes. There weren't any. The girls who got the vaccine did get any more sexually transmitted infections. They didn't get pregnant more often and they didn't seek contraceptive counseling more. The HPV vaccine only protected them.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Thanks for watching mental_floss on YouTube, which is made with the help of all of these nice people. Again, I am Dr. Aaron Carroll and if you like this episode, you might want to buy our recently published book, "Don't Put That in There and 69 Other Sex Myths Debunked." You can get it in book stores everywhere and links from the text below. Buy a copy I would really appreciate it. You can also find me regularly on Healthcare Triage filmed right over there.

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Every week we endeavor to answer one of your mind blowing questions. This week's question comes from meshay13 who asks, "Why is there no metric version of time like a base 10 time system or something?" Well, meshay, there is, but no one uses it. It uses base units that are somewhat equivalent to decimal divisions of the day like one-tenth, one-hundreth, one-thousandth, etc. Lots of different names have been proposed for these divisions like Tick, Mec, Ki, Chron and Moment. In 1897, in France, a committee proposed switching to metric time but the idea never gained popularity. Thanks again for watching. Don't forget to be awesome. Remember to wear a condom.</span></div>
