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
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
well the pee is stored in the balls, girls don’t have that extra reservoir
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?
My school has Taco Tuesdays
What the hell do they put in those tacos, exactly
“Graduated” seniors
New theory dropped: pee is stored in the dick
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).
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.
This appears to be a common one. I’ve heard this elsewhere too
Yep, basically an inch from the anus.
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.
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
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?
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.
If, after puberty, you can’t easily retract your foreskin over the head of your dick (it also shouldn’t hurt), you have a very unhygienic problem called phimosis.
It can be self cured with regular stretching but sometimes you will need a doctor to prescribe a steroid cream to assist with this, the worst cases can require circumcision.
Yes, someone I knew had this. He actually bled because of his foreskin ripping when he lost his virginity when he was 30 or something.
We were on holiday with a group of friends at the time, we shared cabins in groups of 6. One morning we came downstairs and there were sheets hung up in the living room. We asked what happened, he said he had a nosebleed and bled on the sheets. Later we found out from the girl he was with they wanted to have sex, he was a virgin and when they tried his foreskin tore and bled all over everything. Of course by the end of the week everybody in our extended circle knew.
They wound up married, even though they were 10 years apart in age (she was 20 at the time, as were most of our group, he was the older brother of someone in our group). Now he’s a fat lazy fuck without a job and the wife has to take care of their two kids, the house and has a job. They still married though, even if the wife’s complaining about him all the time. So all’s well that ends well I guess.
She should have realized he was lazy since he didn’t even bother to retract his foreskin.
Dude just flying the ship around with the landing gear down.
They wound up married, even though they were 10 years apart in age (she was 20 at the time,
Wait, was it 20/30 or 10/20
She was 20 when they met, he was 30. They married when she was 25 iirc. He is the older one, she the younger one.
Well, I have that, the thing is, I clean my dick (while flaccid) multiple times a day.
I dont care because im a bottom so is not a problem for me.
For some people, it’s so tight that you can’t retract it even when flaccid.
It can also lead to priapism if you somehow (through great pain, I’d imagine) manage to retract it and the tight part becomes stuck during an erection. If not treated in time the lack of circulation leads to necrosis.
I had a few close calls!
What is your cleaning method? I learned way late in life that fully drying after a wash is very important.
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.
I wonder if it has to do with temp regulation. Iirc that’s the reason why balls can expand and contract to begin with.
It does. Cold temps, balls close to the body. High temps, long saggy ball bag.
That’s just their idle animation. Supposedly, if they desync, it’s like a yo-yo until they catch back up
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!
Im not a vagina haver, and I hear that the PH levels can also slowly cause holes in a lot of fabrics. That sounds rough, my washing machine slowly ruins enough of my clothes on it own.
Yeah I didn’t learn that until after I became one. That was a fun thing to be informed is normal after thinking something is wrong
My feet must sweat sulphuric acid then. :(
Id imagine friction between sock and shoe plays a bigger part there than friction can play with genitals and underwear. At least I hope so, I pity the poor bastards who got just as much friction there on a dialy basis lol.
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 just have a d
I keep hearing this but what is it? Is it a way the body regulates ph? Is it some sorta chemical reaction that happens internally that gets rejected by the body? Is it just mucus wherein the body just makes too much?
No they mean the pH of the actual secretions. Some vaginal secretions are more acidic than others and the pH of those secretions changes throughout the month and can be changed by the microbiome of the vagina.

And this is how I found out lol
If you’re on hormonal birth control, you don’t need to have monthly bleeding cycles. The sugar pill part of most hormonal birth control pills, was added so as to not scare people when their bleeding disappeared.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/birth-control/in-depth/womens-health/art-20044044
I learned this so late…
The primary purpose of the sugar pill is to maintain the habit of taking a pill daily.
The Team that Invented the Birth Control Pill - The Atlantic
He told Rock to have his patients stop taking the pills for five days each month. Their hormone levels would return to normal, their symptoms would ease, and they would have their periods. Rock liked the idea. It would make the pill seem more natural, like a scientific version of the rhythm method.
So yes, your right, the sugar pill was added to help people count the 5 days of no hormones correctly.
But the only reason for the 5 day hormone gap in the initial recommendations was to make users feel more natural, and not think they were pregnant.
Though the history is fascinating, always worth a read!
My gf does this, but eventually starts bleeding despite the continued (non-sugar) pills. Usually takes several months of skipping the sugar pills.
She then stops taking them, has a normal cycle or two to reset things as it were and starts over.We’re also still young enough that no doc agrees on sterilization, but old enough to know we’re never changing our minds.
Yeah, as i posted above, im a medical interpreter and yeah, birth control methods, not only hormonal, will stop menstruation, and that is normal. They actually prescribe birth control pills to women that bleed too much and have iron deficiencies because of it.
Edit: As an anecdote, i went out for a time with a girl that told me that she took birth control pills because her period was too heavy, and that once she forgot to take them and that she was bleeding for 20 minutes in the shower, and that she was very scared. Femininity goes hard sometimes I guess lol.
Also, the pill does sometimes fail. Rarely if you do things perfectly (99% succes), but since we’re all human, things rarely go perfectly (91% succes rate in real life). If you normally have a cycle of bleeding once a month, you have a nice solid clue to go take a pregnancy test when you don’t bleed once a month.
But yeah, you don’t really HAVE to. My next period is planned for early 2026.
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.
Sometimes you’re just in the zone man. Consequences be damned (pls dont do this this is not real advice)
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.
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.
Ah, religious schools… they’re such a blessing.
Mine was “Not all women like being touched the same way”. As in, some women can’t reach orgasm from penetration alone, but some do. Some want direct pressure on their clitoris, some do not. And this all makes sense, not everyone likes the same things.
And that is, for me at least, where the fun is. I like to figure things out. I like to see how stuff works. And women are pretty awesome. What would be a better evening than figuring out exactly how to pleasure someone, through communication and experimentation? I’m still finding ways to push my wife’s buttons 14 years later.
Sucks when the person doesn’t like to communicate with you and just ignores her own issues to just satisfy you.
I was less satisfied because I wasn’t allowed to figure it out and just felt like a bad person. The sex drive went down for her after a year, no wonder, but its not my fault either.
2 years later and I broke with her up as she was pretty manipulative and impossible to talk to from the beginning.
It’s always amazing to find someone who communicates
It really is. “This isn’t doing it for you? Tell me what does.”
I learned a lot about the human reproductive system in both male and females while I lived in Maryland. I moved to Texas and I learned that women are sinners and so they suffer every month and men have OP rib bones.
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.
well my sex ed consisted of a man who would later that year get fired for hitting a student telling us that premarital sex will result in pregnancy and then having us perform a play I can only describe as racially charged about the subject
after being fired he went on to become a far right politician
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.
