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.

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.

[–] TriflingToad 15 points 2 weeks 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.

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

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 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

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

Or alternate holes like you are playing the pan flute

I don’t think any advice was warranted.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

[–] Habahnow 5 points 2 weeks 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

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

"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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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 2 weeks ago

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