As a sexual health educator, I get asked a lot of interesting questions. Often, the person asking the question has simply been misinformed or has misunderstood a piece of otherwise accurate information. For example, I've had a number of young women and young men say "A girl can't get pregnant when she has her period" ... which is a myth. Women can become pregnant at any time throughout their cycle.
The blog site Real Sex Ed posted a great post recently -- Top 10 Myths about Safe Sex and Sexual Health. This post debunks myths about douching, the morning after pill, and the age-old "STI from a toilet seat", to name a few.
Read, learn and enjoy!
