There are many myths about the human body and whether the size you are has anything to do with how you perform sexually.

You've all heard the rumours. Men with big feet have big, ahem, third legs and fat, er, we mean, fluffy women keep a 'tighter' rein on things.

So just how true are these? Ralphdefinitely believes the notion that slender women are, ahem, 'heavier' in the right places.

"Yes, man. It true. I've never really been with a skinny, skinny girl but I don't like them too wide. The girls I've been with, though they were skinny, they were 'fat'," he related with some mirth.

Some men Flair spoke with also lauded fluffy women because of their perceived ability to climax quickly. There are even stories about men who know they can't last long in the bedroom deliberately seeking out fat women.

"Mi have a breddren who him nuh talk to no woman unless she weigh 500 pound," said Mike. "People seh him lazy and because fat woman 'reach' quick. Him preffa dem!"

And the rumour doesn't end there. According to some women, a man's fingers never lie. Melodylaughingly responds, "If he has short fingers, it means he has a short third leg, but if he has long fingers, it suggests he is well endowed."

Naomiconcurs with Melody on what the fingers suggest but, where a man's weight is concerned, she doesn't buy into the theory that fat men are shorter below the waist. "Some fat men are blessed in that area. It's just that if they have a big tummy, it can shave off a bit of the length, so you have to know how to position to get the most of it."

Steroids

Men who work out, she adds, tend to be smaller in the pants, but says she doesn't know why, "I hear it's all those steroids they take to bulk up."

May-December relationships (old man, young woman, old woman, young man) are becoming more and more popular, but what of the saying that, 'old man water scratch?' "I have heard that before," Joantells Flair. "I think it's because some older men have poor hygiene and this can affect the woman in her private area, especially if no protection was used. If he takes care of himself properly, things should be okay," she added.

But for 28-year-old Ruthwho only has the hots for older men, this has never been the case. "I don't know where that came from. I am in a four-year relationship with a man who is now 65 and I have never had a problem with any itching or scratching. He has more spunk than some 28-year-olds."

Well, every hoe have him tic a bush.
