Love the implication that sex ed would've been any better in the US. Hell it would be worse if it was one of those abstinence only courses I had to go through.

[-] [email protected] 48 points 6 months ago

I didn't have sex ed. The teacher had the kids vote on what they wanted. Sex ed or kickball. They all had shocked Pikachu faces when 4 students (ranging from 13-15years old) ended up pregnant within a year.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

We literally had no sex ed other than pointing at a model. Nothing about how to do it or do it safely. Nothing about how to recognize if you're being forced to and don't realize it. Just pure memorization of the inner parts that people forgot about instantly. We had to watch a baby be born in a video but that was literally it.

This was last year. By the best bio teacher in the school.

I refuse to believe that this is real.

I’m a 30-year-old guy

Might be creative writing.

Edit: just realized this is an audience submitted article, but I don’t retract my point

[-] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This is a column where letters from readers are responded to by the author (and sometimes guest help). Ms. Stoya is the column’s author, and she writes responses to the letters that get sent in.

Might still be creative writing, but not by Ms. Stoya.

Yeah, I realized my mistake a minute after commenting and edited to point out the misunderstanding. These user submitted articles have always seemed fake to me. Particularly those from John Baron

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Huh. It even looks like you realized it before I commented, but my client didn’t show your edit!

Wait is that the Stoya? I had no idea she was writing for Slate now!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I think she knows how sex works though.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

There’s more to the story, I saw the full article somewhere else. Dude can’t finish without a condom now because of nerves. It seems pretty believable.

I've heard stories if having sex using a woman's urethra and not understanding things. Ive also heard stories about Mormons who don't know how sex works at all and not understanding how they weren't having children even after they were hokding hands and stuff.

Basically, this could be fake but I've heard much worse from more reliable sources.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

Urethral penetration is a fetish and requires stretching. You can't just push a penis inside of one. Not even by accident.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

You apparently can if this is accurate. Yeah, it's painful obviously.

I've heard worse. This is definitely possible.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

This is at least half as stupid as things that are going on in the US right now so I can easily believe it.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

it used to be a priests job to tell a couple getting married about this.

we take education for granted, especially when there's misinformation around

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Because getting sex ed from a man who isn't supposed to know anything at all about a woman's sexual preferences and responses is totally the way to ensure a long and happy and productive marriage.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

oh i am by no means defending the practice at all

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Not the first time I've heard someone talk like sex ed is supposed to include a section on technique. Like your high school gym teacher is going to start talking about "first start with gentle caresses around the area to get her in the mood." No, school sex ed is meant to be about the realities of human reproduction, how pregnancy works, how STDs work and how to control these things.

Seems it's supposed to be anyone's job except a woman's to teach a man what she likes.

They neglected to tell them that the "horrible diseases" are only a danger if you sleep around with different people.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

You or your partner. Sadly it's way too common to catch it even when having one partner and being faithful.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Absolutely not. You and your partner could be completely faithful and still catch something. Your partner could have gotten something from their ex and not noticed before passing it on to you. Not all STDs are obvious.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

In a long term relationship? You'd think something would pop up within the first year or two.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

"Sleeping around" as in having more than one sexual partner. This was a long term relationship.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Or alternate holes like you are playing the pan flute

[-] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

I don’t think any advice was warranted.

Also I would love to know at what point the doctor figured out the issue.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago
[-] [email protected] 113 points 6 months ago

I'm glad you posted this, I've been making the same mistake for 3 years.

It's hell getting an appointment at a fertility clinic to prove to my boyfriend I'm not shooting blanks.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 6 months ago

Fantastic work. No notes.

That's like Dan Savage saying that he knows men can't get pregnant, but with God all things are possible so he will keep on trying to impregnate his husband.

This is dumb, but I actually don't blame the couple THAT much. It's probably a shitty sexual education coupled with the taboo of talking about it. I went to abstinence-only sex ed back in the day, and all we were told was "sex before marriage is evil," and basically nothing else. If it wasn't for my church's (yeah, seriously!) really good sex-ed classes, I would have been dumb as bricks.

The DARE officer at my school (anti-drug police officer supposed to scare you straight) was actually yelled at by my health teacher for saying "sharing needles can cause STIs, oh and also wear a condom." A teacher shouted "Abstinence only, no condoms!" at a bunch of ninth-graders. Moron. Although I guess the kids in that class wouldn't have had trouble getting pregnant.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

"What does abstinence mean? Nevermind, I'll remember no condoms though!"

[-] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago

As unbelievable as it sounds, I met a dude who believed you could get pregnant with anal. His reasoning "that's why in porno they always come in the face/skin".

We were about 15, but still.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

A women can actually get pregnant that way, since semen could very well end up in the vagina due to proximity.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

And if you're being that sloppy she could also get bacterial vaginosis. Although at least the bacteria aren't quite as self-propelling as sperm

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Thought this was BS and the semen couldn't go from the Vulva into the fallopian tubes, but there does appear to be a risk: https://www.healthline.com/health/can-you-get-pregnant-from-anal

"Who knew that you needed a man, with sperm? I've seen lesbians with children. No man in sight!"

Just wait until he gets the $4,500 bill for this advice

Which Doctor, though? Hopefully 11. While not my favorite overall (10 forever), he'd probably be the best one at pointing out idiocy in a kind but hilarious way. Him or 13.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

And to think this could have been avoided with a simple Google search.

the wife is still a virgin because they were having anal sex

In what world does having sex make you still a virgin?

Edit: okay what the fuck is this shit

They reportedly informed the now retired doctor that they were finally expecting - by sending 100 eggs and a live hen as gifts to her former hospital.

According to China's Guiyang Evening Post, Liu's 'experience' led her to inspect the woman's anus, which she claimed 'could fit three fingers.'

That poor woman!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah, those are rookie numbers. Gotta get the whole fist in
