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
well the pee is stored in the balls, girls don’t have that extra reservoir
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
Wait, what’s the reason?
Menstruation.
Then why is it called menstruation and not womenstruation? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Why are they called women and not wowomen?
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 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
I liked your comment myself, but I wished period was more normalized and not seeing as something “disgusting” or “embarrassing”
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
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.
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 didn’t understand the concept of a climax until it happened. The first time crankin it I remember mid way through thinking “I don’t get it, so if I keep doing this it just keeps feeling better and better infinitely?” When it happened it was one of the most stunning moments of my life.
Until my first ejaculation, I thought the only time something came out of my penis was when I was peeing. I was so surprised when something else came out and holy shit there was so much of it everywhere. I didn’t know that could happen and it made a mess all over my surroundings.
Last minute addition: I thought a woman could get pregnant if a man licked between her boobs. This was before my first ejaculation.
I had my first real ejaculation while I was sleeping as a kid. The one time I slept over at my grandma’s. She never said anything but boy did I have impecable timing.
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?
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 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’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.
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.
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.

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.
First time I fingered a girl I felt like Colombus. Really thought I’d hit the new world much sooner.
I’m a woman and didn’t know we all grew breasts until I asked about my own.
Lol you thought you were the chosen one
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.
Sharing is caring
In addition to that, it can introduce bacteria, bodily fluids, etc to the infected area and make it worse.
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)
I did not understand orgasms or realize I wasn’t having them with my partners until I finally did have one. 😂 I genuinely didn’t understand that it could feel that good until it did.
Another win for abstinence-based sex ed in rural America!
How does one not know what an orgasm is supposed to feel like??? Like did you never masturbate or anything (I feel rude saying that, pls feel free to ignore the invasion of privacy).
But also being on reddit taught me that this is smth many women have gone through
In my experience it’s women who squirt that are more likely not to know what an orgasm is supposed to feel like. They’ll definitely feel good, like edging, then get to a point where it feels like they’ve overstimulated themselves to the point of peeing the bed and stop. Not realizing there’s a “getting over the hill” moment to an orgasm.
Ever meet a true fedora-tipping gentlesir that insisted that feeemale orgasms can’t exist because there would be no biological purpose to them?
They’re out there.
I’ve never understood why “feel good makes men want to do it more” can’t be applied to women as well
The way I’ve seen logiclords explain it, it’s because male orgasms result in sperm ejaculation, and feeemale orgasms do not, therefore feeeemale orgasms have no such contributing factor to conception therefore they have no reason to exist.
That is a win in their perspective. For those types, sex is something a woman lets her man do to her. Her pleasure is not even secondary, it isn’t even a consideration.
Tbf, they theoretically would rather men didn’t get any pleasure either, and procreation happened by holding hands after praying.
Not embarrassing, just disappointing.
Precum contains next to no sperm, so it’s really unlikely to get pregnant from it. Apparently Sex ED universally exaggerates that chance so that people don’t get the dumb idea to rely on pulling out.
I mean it’s probably the right way to teach it that way, but you know, if someone theoretically had a bit of an impregnation kink, it sure would make them sad :(
Also teens are like super fertile so I understand the fear of them relying on pulling out lol.
We all know what they call people who relying on pulling out, right?
Parents?
But of course
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.
The whole “women have two holes down under” deal
