10 Sex Myths People Still Believe (and Why They’re Wrong)

Introduction

Sexual health and intimacy are still considered taboo topics in Pakistan, which is why misinformation spreads easily. From myths about condoms and birth control to misconceptions about pleasure and pregnancy, many Pakistanis still believe things that modern science has already disproven.

At Touch n Love, our mission is not only to provide premium products like Durex condoms and lubes but also to educate and break these myths—because safe sex starts with the right knowledge.

Here are 10 common sex myths in Pakistan and the facts you need to know.

1. Myth: Condoms always break

Fact: High-quality condoms like Durex and One® rarely break when used properly. Breakage usually happens due to expired condoms, rough handling, or not using lube. With correct use, condoms are 98% effective.

2. Myth: You can’t get pregnant the first time you have sex

Fact: Pregnancy can happen any time sperm meets an egg—even during the first sexual experience. First time, last time, or anytime—if there’s no protection, there’s a risk.

3. Myth: Two condoms are safer than one

Fact: Using two condoms together (double bagging) actually increases the chance of breakage due to friction. One high-quality condom is enough.

4. Myth: Condoms reduce pleasure completely

Fact: Modern condoms like Durex Mutual Pleasure, Featherlite, or One® Super Studs are designed to increase pleasure, not reduce it. In fact, many couples find that ribbed, dotted, or ultra-thin condoms make intimacy more exciting.

5. Myth: Withdrawal (“pull-out”) is just as safe as condoms

Fact: The pull-out method fails often because pre-ejaculate fluid may still contain sperm. Condoms remain the most reliable protection against both pregnancy and STDs.

6. Myth: Birth control pills are safer than condoms

Fact: Pills prevent pregnancy but do not protect against STDs. Condoms are the only birth control method that protects against both pregnancy and infections.

7. Myth: You can’t get STDs in Pakistan

Fact: Sadly, STDs are common worldwide—including Pakistan. HIV, herpes, and HPV are all real risks. Condoms are your best defense.

8. Myth: Only “promiscuous” people need condoms

Fact: Condoms are for anyone who values safety, intimacy, and health—whether married, newly married, or in a committed relationship.

9. Myth: Condoms are only for men

Fact: There are also female condoms available, though less common in Pakistan. And women absolutely have the right to ask for condom use for their own protection.

10. Myth: Talking about sex is shameful

Fact: Talking openly about sexual health with your partner is one of the keys to a strong relationship. It builds trust, reduces anxiety, and improves intimacy. Silence creates problems; communication builds solutions.
