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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I learned this so late....

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.

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!

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.

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

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 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.

i thought my first boner was a medical emergency

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.
