Oh my god I’ve got so many 😭
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
Wait, what’s the reason?
Every so often, girls need to release evil demons within them or else they’ll be consumed by hellfire. Everybody knows this.
This explains everything. The reason I never saw her after the first date is because she was consumed by evil demons ☹️
Period flow can happen without warning, and even if there is a warning, it’s not usually something that girls are comfortable enough with to want to announce the reason in front of a classroom.
It’s not like you want to announce diarrhea either
I liked your comment myself, but I wished period was more normalized and not seeing as something “disgusting” or “embarrassing”
I don’t get diarrhea every 4 weeks. Do you?
No it’s more frequent than that
Maybe lay off the Arby’s for a while.
What’s Arby
My school has Taco Tuesdays
What the hell do they put in those tacos, exactly
“Graduated” seniors
Eh depends on how explosive it is, those nearby may deserve a warning
Menstruation.
Then why is it called menstruation and not womenstruation? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Why are they called women and not wowomen?
well the pee is stored in the balls, girls don’t have that extra reservoir
Don’t be silly. It’s because most of them don’t have balls, the place where pee is stored, so it goes right through them
That’s not a sex ed thing, that’s just blatant misandry. So what if boys don’t get periods, they still have to pee!
New theory dropped: pee is stored in the dick
The hymen is not normally ripping at the “first time”, but these myths come from brutal men that have no compassion and dont know how to make both people horny.
Breaking a hymen when you first have sex is indeed a myth, but so is the idea that sufficient arousal will prevent tearing every hymen.
Hymens come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and elasticities. They can tear from many things but most people with hymens are quite likely to experience minor tearing or bleeding the first time they have sex. That’s especially true if the hymen is particularly large or thick and if you haven’t torn it before the first time you had sex.
That’s the last myth, even if breaking a hymen was a real thing required for sex, it doesn’t say anything about virginity because many girls tear it in childhood and puberty from a variety of activities as innocuous as swimming.

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.
You know what’s extra fun about this?
Those secretions bleach underwear. That’s right, my cute black panties are all inevitably doomed to have a white spot in the crotch over time!
I kept reading and hearing this and since it doesn’t happen to me I thought something was wrong with me. So I’d like to add that according to my gyn it’s also perfectly normal to not have this happen!
Depends on your Ph level. Everyone’s is different.
I have a phd.
I’d almost say the same thing about the fact that ballsacks “breathe” constantly. It’s easily confirmed by just looking at them when idle, but nobody talks about it and I never read anything about it until I just… Looked at my own balls for a few seconds and realized they noticeably expand and contract at a discernable speed.
It’s like watching a lava lamp.
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
Yeah I didn’t really connect the dots that my penis had been altered. I thought my friend had the weird penis. Turns out his is the way it’s supposed to be.
Are you saying it’s not like a slot machine and pays out like 6 kids when you win?
Well, it can…
But is that really winning?
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.
That’s not really true.
Sure it’s true for rifampicin and rifabutin (and maybe one more similar one). But those are used to treat TB.
All the standard ones you’d take are fine for birth control.
Edit: Thanks to some people who are more knowledgeable than me on the topic, there are some others, or secondary effects you should consider.
Moral of the story: if in doubt ALWAYS use more contraception. Best to be safe out there.
According to Mayo Clinic, penicillin and amoxicillin also can make birth control less effective. But most other sources agree with you. I wonder if it’s relatively new information that those antibiotics don’t affect it or what.
It’s easier to tell people to just use a rubber when on antibiotics rathern than explain to them that it’s only for some unpronounceable substances for most of the population and have them memorize a list of substances for which it’s safe to go on as usual - azithromycin is safe, amoxicillin is not. They may sound fairly similar to a layman.
It’s because some substances (in this case, antibiotics) mess with the units in your body that process them and prepare them for excretion. They may inhibit or induce them, but these units process a whole load of other stuff. Including birth control, which can lead to less activity from the birth control pills because they’re inactivated quicker (in case of induction) or the biotransformation to the active form is slower (in case of inhibition, for prodrugs that are inactive as is, but have active metabolites, no idea if this is the case for birth control though).
A similar thing happens with alcohol, for example, which is why you should always be honest with exactly how much alcohol you drink or what other drugs you take when talking to an anaesthesiologist, or any doctor prescribing you any sort of medicine, lest you risk ineffective anaesthesia or treatment (the first one is worse imo).
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.
Obviously it’s a bad idea but why? ELI5 lol
So if one partner has a UTI, the other partner could get the UTI (even asymptomatically) and they could keep reinfecting each other in a hilarious game of tag.
Or if one partner has multiple partner they could spread the UTI around, even if they are asymptomatic.
In addition to that, it can introduce bacteria, bodily fluids, etc to the infected area and make it worse.
Sharing is caring
Worked in an ED/still work as a paramedic occasionally.
You don’t want to know how many times I had to explain this shit to a grown woman, sometimes 30y older than me.
Sometimes you’re just in the zone man. Consequences be damned (pls dont do this this is not real advice)
Not my info but this year a classmate confided in me the following:
“it took an embarrassingly long time to realize that men have multiple holes on their penis”.
I thought she was joking but she was dead serious, (she was from a very conservative family to put it mildly and had been withheld from sex-ed their entire life). For some reason they insisted arguing about it with me and the other guy present.
I was 22 and she was 21.
Where did she think the other hole was
Skinflute.
I think the idea was two holes right near each other on the head, one for piss and one for cum lol
Well, if you are not circumcised then you have a hole in your foreskin (when it is not retracted), and you also have the hole in the glans. So, multiple holes.
But that’s a serial hole, not a parallel hole?
That’s very useful if you want to attach an old school printer or mouse to your penis.
I checked my dick right now, and I’m only counting one hole. What am I not finding?
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.
Different in … period? ie different cycle durations?
Until about halfway into my teens, no one told me that periods were painful, or involved behavior altering hormone releases. I thought my sisters were becoming moody & rude for no reason. I was generally aware of the concept of periods, but not of the broader effects. I feel I might have been much more sympathetic had I known.
Well, it’s a spectrum. I worked with a woman that was spending the whole time in our office laying on the floor during her period because how painful it was. But I’m also married with a woman that doesn’t have any symptoms at all and when asked about she said the only annoyance was having tampons ready.
i thought my first boner was a medical emergency
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!)
The whole “women have two holes down under” deal
Not really a hilarious assumption, but it was only this year that I actually learned anything more than the names of a few STIs. It’s good to familiarize yourself with the risk profiles and treatment options of the common ones, and get tested regularly if you’re sexually active.
My high school sex ed never taught anything gay or anal. So I knew to wear a condom with my first girlfriend, but until I was a freshman in college (a year ago…) I didn’t realize it’s important to wear one with a guy too. First gay experience, we’d been seeing each other for a month and I thought I was pretty ready, sock on the dorm door and everything, but then bro asked me if I had a condom and I was like “huh?” And obviously I didn’t so he just gave me head instead
For whatever reason I thought condoms only helped in vaginal sex, since that’s the only thing they taught its use for. Didn’t really know how gay and bi men prevent STIs other than monogamy and a few other assumptions. Part of that stupidity was probably just me being optimistic and horny brained about not having to wear anything
I think we had the basics covered early. Too early maybe. I remember holding a presentation in grade school about AIDS, but that was half made by my grandma and I barely understood what I was reading from my papers.
I think we had the basics covered early. Too early maybe.
I basically had my sex ed delayed a year or two from the other students because as a fourth grader I would mostly just tune out when the teacher started talking.
