Myth: It is believed that a bow-legged woman is great in bed, particularly doggy style.

Truth: Of course, most of these meatheads are not aware that bow legs result from a deficiency in vitamin D called rickets, which causes the softening and distortion of the bones.

Myth: The fetish for big buttocks has spawned the idea that women blessed with a great gluteus maximus are aces at doggy style too. Some guys think a big bum provides a cushion of comfort.

Truth: Experience imparts versatility. The more skilful you become with your partner, the more likely you will be able to manipulate your wife - whether slim and fat.

Myth: A full moon is said to ignite the flame of passion in women. A man may feel this is his surefire time to launch his bedroom bid.

Truth: Every woman has her own time to shine - she's not necessarily a slave to the moon's gravitation pull. Get to know her and find out when's the best time to push her love button - a couple of days before her period starts, on Sunday afternoons, on your birthday (wink, wink).

Myth: Some men believe that a woman who has a gap between her incisors (the front teeth) is highly sexed. The wider the gap, the greater the salaciousness.

Truth: Such misconceptions hark back to even the Middle Ages, in the Chaucerian Wife of Bath's Tale when the female protagonist (who happened to have a gap) was forthright and sexually dominant.

The 'gap phenomenon' is a true turn-on for some men, intoxicated with notions of their own grandeur and prowess, who are hungry for a wild ride.

Myth: Out with the soft, fragile, doting lover, in hletic woman of steel. For laid-back men who prefer to be dominated, the power woman will bring greater sexual satisfaction than regular built females. Myth says these women take charge and produce memorable performances in bed. Olympic record!

Truth: Some of the so-called softies belt out a terrible bark, not to mention their bite. Many prim and proper girls know when to transform into Catwoman when the curtains are drawn. Give her time and space to surprise you. She might just be an animal! Grrrrrrrrr!

Myth: When you see a 'stoosh' dame strutting down the street in fake nails or that just-bought mane (oops, she forgot to take off the price tag!), alarm bells go off. You're bound to pay through your teeth. Nails and weaves are trendy accessories to the 'Material Girl', the myth goes, and guys living on a budget should steer clear of luxury lovers.

Truth: Never judge a book by its cover; virtually every woman will bleed your pocket. Even those with the low-maintenance image have some expensive tastes. Deal with it!

Myth: One of the greatest temptations to the married man is the mistress, the girl on the side, the so-called 'matey'. She is always sexually adventurous, willing to experiment with fantasies which wifey might not agree to.

Truth: Many wives are volcanoes of passion, willing to expand their horizons in bed and beyond. Some guys are unfortunately searching for new territory to conquer, even when everything is okay on the home front. The grass may seem greener on the other side -but it may be filled with weeds.

Myth: A woman with 'natural' (unprocessed) hair is said to be virtuous or virginal.
