20. Lie: “Penis can to be too large, thereby hurting, injure or even damaging the woman’s vagina”.

Truth: No matter the size of a man’s penis, it cannot be bigger than the vagina of an adult woman. Most especially, when foreplay takes place or artificial lubrication is used. Vagina is elastic in nature, hence, women cannot really be hurt by the size of penis, except in a case of rape.

27. Lie: “Circumcised husbands take longer time to reach orgasm than the uncircumcised”. Truth: What determines how often the man will reach orgasm is not whether he is circumcised or not. What determines it is the spouse co-operation , knowledge of the man about sex, its frequency (a man who have not had sex in weeks is likely to reach orgasm earlier than a man who had sex a day before the present sexual intercourse).
28. Lie: “Too much sex makes a woman’s tummy big”.

Truth: Sex does not have anything to do with size of the tummy. Eating habits, pregnancy and delivery and lack of exercise can cause it.

29. Lie: “Vagina can be too narrow and not satisfy the man”.

Truth: Vagina of an adult woman has the ability to expand to accommodate any penis no matter its size, most especially when there is good foreplay or artificial lubrication.

30. Lie: “Vagina can be too wide that it will not give the man any enjoyment at all”.

Truth: No matter how wide a vaginal is, it can still satisfy the man. Though, the enjoyment can be reduced compared to when it is not, but it can still make a man to reach orgasm and enjoy himself. Women should know that they can retain the state of their vagina to pre-baby state by doing kegel exercise..

31. Lie: “Righteous women must not react to their husband’s sex in bed. They must also not allow their husband to see their nakedness’’.

Truth: Women must not sleep like a log of wood in bed. That does not make them unrighteous or unholy. It only shows they are exciting wives and skillful women. Women should also be naked before their husbands and not be ashamed. They should enjoy being naked in the presence of their husbands. There is nothing sinful about this. “Though modesty is an admirable virtue in a woman, it is out of place in the bedroom with her husband”. (Tim Lahaye)

32. Lie: “Men are natural polygamist; only one woman cannot give them sexual fulfillment”. Truth: Only one woman was given to Adam and he was perfectly satisfied. Only immoral men who lack discipline cannot get sexual fulfillment from a woman. Real men, great men, get all they desire from their beloved wives.
33. Lie: “No other style must be used when having sex with one’s wife except man-on-top. Any other style is unholy and unrighteous”.

Truth: Variety in sex is good for your marriage and it is not unrighteous. It is right. It is good. It is the best. If only with your wife/husband, never allow your sex life to be monotonous, spice it up. After all, variety is the spice of life.

34. Lie: “Women should give their body to their husbands whenever they wish”.

Truth: The body of the woman belongs to the man and vice versa. If you must deny your husband, do it with wisdom, never think your body belongs to you. Always remember that, he owns your body.

35. Lie: “Since the body of the woman belongs to the man, men can force their wives to have sex with them if they refuse. It is a legal rape’’.

Truth: Let’s take this analogy, you own your money that you save in a bank, but you can’t go and take your money forcefully from the bank without the consent of your banker. Similarly, sex should be with mutual agreement, not by force or intimidation; not by command or dictatorship. You are allowed to pet, cajole, seduce, motivate and lovingly take your wife to bed, but you are not allowed to force her, that will be too cruel and ungentlemanly, indeed, illegal and can be treated as rape.

36. Lie: “Women are turned on by hard, and deep thrusting during intercourse”.

Truth: Except your wife asks for hard and deep thrust, she will be more turned on by softer, smoother and at times more rapid motions in intercourse as you make love to her tenderly.

37. Lie: “A woman will be satisfied in as much as penis enters her vagina”.

Truth: A woman may not enjoy sex even when the husband ejaculates in her except she is well prepared before the intercourse.

38. Lie: “Men know all about sex and need not learn about it again”.

Truth: Nobody (including counselors) knows everything about sex. We must continue to learn and open ourselves to improvement.

39. Lie: “When a sex life is bad, that means couples are not sexually compatible. So, they should pack up the marriage.”

Truth: No two people are truly sexually compatible. All we need to do is to learn how to improve ourselves, not blaming our mates, but to seek professional help. It can be better; you can still enjoy your sex life. Never give up.

40. Lie: “When a man and his wife are having sex and the wife shows sign of pain and discomfort or sobs (weep or cry), that should make the man to know that he is manly and conqueror of a lady, sex-wise’’.

Truth: Real men give their wives pleasure not pain; orgasm not agony. The joy of the man should be to see his wife happy and in ecstasy, to tantalize her and take her to the “next cloud”. Being happy seeing ones wife in agony is unwise. It does not reveal that you are a matured man, it only shows the animal in you.

41. Lie: “It is a sin for the man to touch the wife’s vaginal or for the woman to touch or play with her husband’s penis”.

Truth: If you can touch your wife’s head, hands, legs, breast, buttocks, etc, then which law bans you from touching her vagina or for touching your husband’s penis? This is not masturbation. Masturbation is when one uses his/her hand to stimulate the penis or vagina to get sexual desire. The Holy Bible is not in support of this. But if your spouse is the one touching your genital, why not. In fact, the Bible says that your body belongs to your spouse, then should I not touch what rightly belongs to me? In fact, it is another way of having fun and it is called partner inter-stimulation (PIS) or sexual inter-stimulation (SIS).
