I agree with you Genuine, although that I think that there sure are virgins on the forum who can give great advice on subjects not directly related to sex, but let's keep that out consideration.
And to the first part of your post I'd like to add that especially guys new in the game should always
assume that every advice that is ever given to them is only partly true. There are exceptions to every 'rule' that was told you and my (logic) experience is that the exceptions are not given to you with the rule. Every time someone gives you advice, your first thought should be 'I am thankful that he/she is willing to give me advice, because it shows that he cares about me.', but your second thought should always be: 'how far can i apply this is my own, personal and unique situation?'. Something that has worked for them might not work for you, because you are in a different environment.
Also be aware of clichés that most likely only have a core of truth in them.
One of the many examples I could give you:
If someone tells u: 'girls like sex just as much as boys do', that might be true, but what they very likely wont tell you, and this is far more important, is that girls need eg. more validation and more feeling of security before they eventually will actually want to have sexual intercourse.
I could have chosen a different example here but I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say here. I don't have time for any other examples because I'm packing my stuff for holiday.
