ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How much of what we hear about sex is actually true? In this episode of Let’s Talk About Sex, Dr. Laura Prescott takes on four common sexual myths and separates misinformation from reality.
She explains why the hymen cannot reliably determine whether someone has had sex, challenges long-standing misconceptions about masturbation, discusses why pornography should not be treated as a realistic model for sexual experiences, and addresses several persistent myths about pregnancy risk, including misconceptions about periods, first-time sex, withdrawal, and sex in the shower.
With a straightforward and accessible approach, Dr. Prescott highlights how sexual misinformation can shape expectations, behaviors, and decisions. The episode encourages listeners to question what they have heard about sex and rely on accurate information when making choices about their sexual health and relationships.
Whether these myths came from friends, popular culture, pornography, or the internet, this episode offers a practical reality check.
