Superstitions: Most prevalent in Britain today
Superstition persists. In Britain there are still many old beliefs that had currency hundreds of
years ago. Some
of the popular newspaper and magazine advice columns are deluged with questions and
worries revealing a
superstitious orientation on sexual matters. According to Marjorie Proops (in a letter to me,
May 10, 1972, for
which I am grateful) the commonest myths cropping up in correspondence from readers are:
A man with a small penis is always sexually inadequate.
Masturbation will cause hair to grow on palms of hands, make men impotent women frigid
or sterile, cause
madness, etc.
Women who never reach a climax are always frustrated.
Women with small breasts are poor risks in bed.
Women with large breasts are always sexy.
Men, according to many wives, are perverted if they take girlie magazines, talk about
erotic things during
lovemaking, like oral sex, etc.
