While talking about some topics with my last date, they said so seriously, “If it stands up, it doesn’t matter” that… I thought they were joking, but apparently they were serious. Could something like this actually happen? Is it some sort of protection method? Is there really someone who believes in such a thing? Honestly, I found it very strange, but I didn’t show it. Please enlighten me if you have any information; otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.

7Don’t believe in stuff like that. It has nothing to do with standing or anything; as long as there’s no protection, the risk is always there. I’m not a healthcare professional, but this is a pretty well-known misconception. I think you should talk openly about these issues with your partner because misunderstandings can cause problems later on.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but one of my friends believed in something like that too. They said if you’re standing, it wouldn’t happen because of the effect of gravity or something. But then someone else made fun of it, saying “it’s not a gravity protection method.” Seriously, there are people who actually say this.
Let the information on this matter be correct: The position, location, or angle has no effect on protection. On the contrary, in unprotected situations, it increases the risk of infection and unwanted outcomes. If they believe such misinformation, they really need to consult an expert. You might even suggest a test; they may be unaware of certain things.
I’ve noticed that my date is generally a bit ignorant about these matters. I don’t think we’ve talked about this until now. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, but I can’t go on like this. It’s hard to explain to someone who doesn’t have knowledge. Let’s see how I can fix this…
Look at what this friend is saying, “it wouldn’t happen because of gravity” or something. I don’t understand the logic behind that. How could you stay so serious next to them? If it were me, I would have just said, “For God’s sake, open a biology book,” it’s so weird 
My dad used to say that people believed in these kinds of superstitions, and it seems they’re still common among young people. My daughter, trust in scientific facts; acting on misinformation in such matters can get you into trouble. Don’t risk your health with someone who doesn’t know better.
This issue is partly because people are embarrassed to talk about it openly. No one in the neighborhood really discusses it directly. There’s always a lot of misinformation going around. If people could be educated instead of believing things like ‘oh, it’s when standing or moving,’ this wouldn’t happen
