From the truly absurd (you can't get pregnant your first time) to the more ambiguous (oral sex is less risky), sex myths abound. But y'all are smart, and can surely separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to the perils and pleasures of sex. Test your knowledge with my myth-versus-fact quiz.

OMG I coudn't even finish the quiz (past 9) -- that creepy "SAFE SEX" poster was grossing me out. Is that a spider on top of a cat? Sick... ick. Seriously grossed out!
1It's probably a crab. Get it?
I was more grossed out by the fact that 1 in 5 people has herpes. Oh my.
2Eeeew that's such a creepy picture!!
3i was also grossed out by the fact that 1 in 5 people have herpes.
also don't advertise about hot tubs killing sperm- i'll never want to go in a spa tub again thinking of everyone who's been getting frisky in there!
410 out of 20. Bad.
513/20
I think question Question was a trick question- it doesn't kill ALL the sperm so it's a myth, not a fact. I'm just sayin'
6I think it is a sand spider but Lord that thing gives me the creeps!
7The crab/cat picture is funny! I love it
15/20. I agree about the sperm in water thing, swimming pools tend to be COOL, not WARM. Most sperm probably survive too. Quiz FAIL.
8There are so many things wrong with how this quiz was written that I'm beyond annoyed.
So many of the "correct" answers were based on whatever study the blogger happened to choose to look at (like the #1 fantasy one, the college students, etc.). For questions like that, it's not really myth versus fact, but rather should be billed as some a sort of "new studies have found..." blog post. Additionally, other "answers" in this quiz weren't correct at all. Men can have **reportedly** more sexual partners than women, but unless they're sleeping with other men, then the average number of sexual partners for both males and females will be the exact same, if the same population of heterosexual people are used. (Sounds complicated, but just think about it.) Also, oysters are absolutely an aphrodisiac because they have a ton of zinc in them, which ramps up testosterone levels, which can make you more horny. Um, and don't ask if water kills sperm and then count the answer wrong when we say no, but then say "well, it doesn't kill all of them though." Same with the masturbation question (saying it's a fact but then saying "it varies").
Sorry for the rant. I work at Cosmo though and was disappointed in this quiz.
9I agree with you, Alpha!
10P.S. I do love the cat/crab picture. Freakin' hilarious!
11TOTALLY fell for oysters, and didn't think oral was the number one fantasy.
12I take issue with the "oral sex is the most common male fantasy bit." How old are those stats? Oral is pretty standard these days from all I've gathered, and hardly even ranks as a fantasy. I'd say the threesome is the most common male fantasy. Then again, I DO live in liberal Cali.
And the last statement should be "Overall, men REPORT having more sexual partners than women." Pshaw.

I thought that too!
14I do not see nothing wrong with the crab on top of the cat. It is just a nice picture. With regards of the quiz, that's all! a quiz. It is not a midterm test, or an university entry test. Just enjoy it!!! Love to all mankind.
15Wow! things I was never really thinking of...now have me thinking.
but I agree w/ Alpha
16How can men have more partners than women? If women have an average of four partners, and men have an average of 6-8... that means that 2-4 of the men's partners have to be other men.
That means that 33%-50% of the average man's partners are other men. That's a lot of gay sex for the average guy.
1716/20. And I had a good laugh after realizing I missed the joke in the picture.
18all of the quiz questions should be on one page...clicking, scrolling and clicking again is redundant.
19rofl thats a huge crab.....awwwww pooor kitty
20Lame quiz, disgusting picture.
2114/20
Right, men can't have more sexual partners than women, as was said before. The statement in the 'correct' answer says it all: men report having more sexual partners than women do, that doesn't mean it's true though.
22Haha, love the pic.
23Didn't do so well on the Quiz.. 12/20.
And Oysters are an aphrodisiac.. Anyhow, was a bit of fun.
