One teacher allowed girls bathroom breaks without a question but not guys and we thought it was bc girls can’t hold pee in since they don’t have dicks.

If you can’t tell sex ed doesnt exist in this part of the world

Hell that’s not even sex ed but anatomy ig

I am a medical interpreter and until like three months ago I didn’t know that women had clear fluid secretions on the regular, as in as a normal part of their life monthly cycle. No one, not any gf nor my actual gf or any friend had told me that. I hadn’t heard about it anywhere, either on the news, on small talk, on jokes, on serious conversations, on sex ed, nowhere. I was in wonder not because of the fact, but because of how little info about it there is until I got the info in my job, and even there i hadn’t heard about it before nor after. It’s so weird for something so common to be this quiet.

I learned in college (from my nurse girlfriend) that if a girl is taking antibiotics that it invalidates her birth control pills for the month and you need to use condoms until after her period.

Spread the word, brothers.

I learned way too late about the fertility cycle of my female reproductive organs. What, I can feel my cervix, if I just reach into my vagina deep enough?! And oh, so during my fertile days, my vulva will get slippery, my cervix is soft like my earlobe, and my cervical mucus becomes stretchy like egg white?! Also, my body temperature rises?! And on the not-so-fertile days, my cervix is closed, feels harder (like the tip of my nose), and none or less mucus. That’s wild, so much to learn about a body that I thought I knew!

(You can use these observations to contracept or to become pregnant, but if you do, please inform yourself about Natural Family Planning (NFP) or the sympto-thermal method. It takes a routine and some experience for it to be reliable, but once you get the hang of it, it is awesome!)

at 17yo I thought my circumcision scar was a birthmark and I didn’t know you had to have sex at least once per pregnancy

parents, please tell your kids where babies come from and what all their parts are supposed to do, and don’t circumcise them either

I had to explain to a girl that no, we should not have sex while you have a UTI. She was in her mid 30’s.

Let me just say here how much I appreciate the sex ed I got in school.

I’m talking life-size cross-section models of a human torso that you could take individual organs out of for closer inspection.

One thing we still didn’t learn much about is how wildly different periods can be for different people, I very much appreciated a friend explaining this to me.

i thought my first boner was a medical emergency

Believed this until I was like 16 and so did everyone else in our school.

A girl did anal and got pregnant and since it was anal that got her pregnant she was gonna poop out the baby. Funny thing is I was part of the group conversation that started this rumor and STILL we all believed it.

That the vagina is way lower than a lot of people depict it. A lot of my anatomy exposure when I was younger was hentai, and it turns out hentai artists don’t really know where the vagina is either. The ones that put the vagina as the little sister of the belly button on the woman desperately need to look up their Year 9 health book.

The whole “women have two holes down under” deal

I’m a woman and didn’t know we all grew breasts until I asked about my own.

I had a friend once who thought that doubling up on a condom meant double protection. That’s a huge no no.
